Pfc. Jaron Charley, a truck driver with Echo Company, 29th Brigade Support Battalion from the Arizona National Guard, wears a mock bomb vest while role-playing as an insurgent during an air assault exercise for soldiers from Bravo Company, 1-158th Infantry Battalion here, Nov. 19. The training consisted of an air assault mission where the soldiers egress from a UH-60 Black Hawk, moving on foot to engage with an enemy target and clear a building suspected of housing weapons and contraband. “The skills these soldiers acquire are perishable,” said Staff Sgt. Benjamin Esser, the mortar section sergeant and training non-commissioned officer for B Company. “If the soldiers do not continually train, they will lose those skills.” The battalion is preparing for their second deployment to Afghanistan in 2013.
