00:03.736 --> 00:06.382
- Today we're training soldiers from the 184th

00:06.382 --> 00:08.523
down-trace, ESC down-trace,

00:08.523 --> 00:12.234
and the 155 down-trace on rail load training.

00:12.234 --> 00:15.619
They're getting familiarized with the different types

00:15.619 --> 00:18.142
^of equipment that we're going to ship

00:18.142 --> 00:20.965
^to the National Training Center this summer

00:20.965 --> 00:24.001
from tracked vehicles to wheeled vehicles,

00:24.001 --> 00:27.829
and the types of chains, and the number of chains

00:27.829 --> 00:31.996
that goes on each type of vehicle for rail load operations.

00:32.514 --> 00:34.822
This training is very important for the soldiers,

00:34.822 --> 00:37.348
because it will familiarize them with rail-head

00:37.348 --> 00:41.321
operations and the safety of rail-head operations

00:41.321 --> 00:44.251
when we're getting ready to take all of this

00:44.251 --> 00:46.088
equipment to the National Training Center.

00:46.088 --> 00:48.543
We feel like, or we know there'll be a,

00:48.543 --> 00:51.874
seven or eight trains that'll be railed to

00:51.874 --> 00:54.245
the National Training Center with over

00:54.245 --> 00:58.064
a thousand pieces of equipment from the 155 and other

00:58.064 --> 01:02.231
enabling units that will be training at NTC this summer.

01:03.014 --> 01:05.271
The training has been very successful.

01:05.271 --> 01:06.825
We're in our second day.

01:06.825 --> 01:09.442
We'll finish up tomorrow, but in three days

01:09.442 --> 01:13.609
we've trained over 200 soldiers in rail-head operations,

01:14.609 --> 01:17.505
and we feel like it will be huge for us

01:17.505 --> 01:20.672
this upcoming summer when we get ready to load again

01:20.672 --> 01:23.177
over a thousand vehicles that will be railed

01:23.177 --> 01:27.344
to the NTC for the 155 to train there this summer.
