Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 142nd Infantry Regiment,

Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 142nd Infantry Regiment, Texas National Guard play the role of a simulated country’s army as part of a training mission at the Fort Polk, La., Joint Readiness Training Center, Sept. 25. Combat Training Centers create realistic scenarios and provide leaders a comprehensive approach to training in a joint interagency, intergovernmental and multinational environment. This decisive action training environment generates unit readiness and enhances leaders’ ability to operate in complex environments. (Sgt. William Gore, 40th PAD)
