00:00.630 --> 00:04.140
On february 6th 2023 the first armored

00:04.140 --> 00:06.430
division began their simulated in field

00:06.430 --> 00:09.750
training known as C . P . X . A . C . P .

00:09.750 --> 00:11.972
X . Or command post exercises a logical

00:11.972 --> 00:14.139
progression in our training glide path

00:14.139 --> 00:16.028
to just build proficiency for the

00:16.028 --> 00:18.250
division headquarters . It's the way we

00:18.250 --> 00:20.472
train our large division staff and what

00:20.472 --> 00:22.900
it can do to synchronize brigade fights ,

00:23.080 --> 00:25.302
coordinate with higher headquarters and

00:25.302 --> 00:27.413
make sure we employ the division as a

00:27.413 --> 00:29.524
unit of action against an adversary .

00:29.524 --> 00:32.280
These exercises put us in the context

00:32.280 --> 00:35.010
to see what we need to figure out and

00:35.010 --> 00:37.240
you really can't do that until you put

00:37.380 --> 00:39.850
us in a resource constrained

00:39.850 --> 00:42.250
environment where you divide our

00:42.250 --> 00:45.200
battalion across three locations . I

00:45.200 --> 00:47.290
think it gives us the opportunity to

00:47.290 --> 00:50.590
really refine our supplies that we need

00:50.590 --> 00:53.410
to order . It tells us how many L . M .

00:53.410 --> 00:55.521
T . V . S do , we need to move all of

00:55.521 --> 00:57.577
our equipment and we won't know that

00:57.577 --> 00:59.577
until we actually do it despite the

00:59.577 --> 01:01.910
challenges of their mission . First , A .

01:01.910 --> 01:04.077
D found their way through it as a team

01:04.077 --> 01:05.910
showing leadership what they are

01:05.910 --> 01:08.132
capable of . I'm extremely proud of the

01:08.132 --> 01:10.354
division staff , extremely proud of all

01:10.354 --> 01:12.521
the subordinate units that have fought

01:12.521 --> 01:14.410
for us and what has been a pretty

01:14.410 --> 01:16.632
synchronized and complex fight for us .

01:16.632 --> 01:18.688
Yeah , I think overall the event has

01:18.688 --> 01:20.743
gone really well . Um I know that we

01:20.743 --> 01:22.966
have learned a lot based on what we did

01:22.966 --> 01:25.021
at NtC and we're able to step up the

01:25.021 --> 01:27.188
next level of complexity . I have seen

01:27.188 --> 01:29.132
an immense amount of ownership and

01:29.132 --> 01:31.299
professionalism from all the teammates

01:31.299 --> 01:33.077
and really , you know , kind of

01:33.077 --> 01:35.299
building each other up and helping each

01:35.299 --> 01:37.466
other learn . It's exciting to be part

01:37.466 --> 01:39.632
of a team that can accomplish this war

01:39.632 --> 01:42.095
fighting connection and integration of

01:42.095 --> 01:44.385
warfighting functions . It's powerful

01:44.465 --> 01:46.720
and it's inspirational . And now that

01:46.720 --> 01:49.120
all is said and done first , a . D . Is

01:49.120 --> 01:51.490
ready for and looking forward to the

01:51.490 --> 01:53.712
future , I'm really excited to get into

01:53.712 --> 01:55.712
the War Fighter and just watch what

01:55.712 --> 01:57.934
this staff can do and how it's going to

01:57.934 --> 02:00.101
perform Specialist Reece Newton , Fort

02:00.101 --> 01:59.970
