Spc. Joshua Jones, with Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 142nd Infantry Regiment, Texas National Guard, searches a vehicle in the village of Sangari. Jones is portraying a soldier in a simulated country’s army 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)
