The MiBT showcases the partnership of the MSARNG and active components of the 1st Cavalry Division, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, and First Army to demonstrate the U.S. Army's Total Force policy. The exercise is a multicomponent event that sustains readiness of reserve and active components.

The exercise will help prepare the 155th for its own trip to NTC at Fort Irwin, Calif., in 2017. (Mississippi National Guard photo by Pfc. Justin Humphreys, 102d Public Affairs Detachment/Released)
