- [Michael] Tupelo Zone 155th Armor Brigade Combat Team

00:08.255 --> 00:10.317
has kicked off their rotation at the National

00:10.317 --> 00:11.534
Training Center.

00:11.534 --> 00:13.606
This exercise will display the Mississippi Army

00:13.606 --> 00:16.684
National Guard's robust talent, joint capabilities,

00:16.684 --> 00:20.094
and commitment to the Army's total force policy.

00:20.094 --> 00:21.722
- The National Training Center offers our brigade

00:21.722 --> 00:24.393
a unique opportunity to train in a vast austere

00:24.393 --> 00:27.758
environment utilizing scenarios that closely replicate

00:27.758 --> 00:30.752
conflicts that the Army has had to deal with

00:30.752 --> 00:32.335
in the recent past.

00:32.638 --> 00:33.878
- [Michael] This training rotation will feature

00:33.878 --> 00:37.019
all three Army components training to one standard.

00:37.019 --> 00:39.534
This type of training environment benefits the brigade

00:39.534 --> 00:42.927
while increasing individual soldier readiness.

00:42.927 --> 00:44.411
- It's very beneficial for me.

00:44.411 --> 00:47.372
It's a very immersive training environment

00:47.372 --> 00:50.501
to get field time to see how the brigade works

00:50.501 --> 00:53.500
as a whole and to learn my individual tasks

00:53.500 --> 00:54.917
as well as I can.

00:55.311 --> 00:56.605
- [Michael] For the brigade this is just the first

00:56.605 --> 00:58.923
of many training days to come.

Reporting for the 102nd Public Affairs Detachment

01:01.475 --> 01:03.921
