1/25 SBCT at NTC

Jul-23-2008 » Filed Under: 1/25 SBCT

Chris Freiberg of the Daily News-Miner has another article from the National Training Center. Excerpt:

Like the rest of Fort Wainwright’s 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Stryker Brigade Combat Team of which it is a part, the 1/24th is finishing up a month of training at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif., before heading to Iraq this fall for a 12-month deployment.

The 1/24th has had it especially tough since training kicked into high gear, however.

The unit went on three consecutive patrols Sunday, and when it returned to camp outside the police station in the fabricated town of Medina Wasil, it went through the streets of the village for a fourth patrol.

By noon Monday, most soldiers had been awake for 24 consecutive hours — or more.
