Approximately 500 active-duty Soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division, 3rd Brigade Combat Team (3-1 CAV) and close to 300 additional troops from Reserve components will join the Magnolia Guardsmen. The joint exercise will showcase the 155th ABCT and 3-1 CAV partnerships and demonstrate the U.S.

An XCTC is a brigade field training exercise, which aims to certify platoon proficiency in coordination with First U.S. Army. The training exposes Guard Soldiers to a combat training center experience while minimizing cost and time away from home and work. During the exercise, the 155th ABCT will encounter tests on their response to ambushes, company hasty attacks, platoon movement to contact, recon missions and vehicle recovery missions.
