Sgt. Tony Clinton and Spc. Natalie Smith, both water purification specialist from 129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 101st Airborne Division Sustainment Brigade (Lifeliners), 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), hook a hose onto a Load Handling System Compatible Water Tank Rack (Hippo) to fill it with water that was purified through the tactical water purification system (TWPS), on Sept. 3, 2015, at the Joint Readiness Training Center’s Intermediate Staging Base in Alexandria, Louisiana. The water purification team with the 129th CSSB, is part of a training rotation at JRTC with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Abn. Div. (AASLT), and other support assets like the 101st Abn. Div. Sust. Bde., the 101st Airborne Division Artillery Regiment and aviation Soldiers from the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division. The training allows for both combat arms and support Soldiers to receive “realistic, relevant and rigorous” training in an environment where they receive hands-on experience with equipment like the TWPS.
