South Dakota Army National Guard Soldiers from the 740th Transportation Company, headquartered out of Milbank, S.D., with Detachment 1 in Aberdeen, qualify with their M-16 rifles in 2011. The South Dakota unit edged out a unit from the Idaho National Guard, as well as units from across the country to win the 2011 National Guard Association Pershing Award for having the nation’s highest weapons qualification rate. This is the second time in six years the unit has won this award.
