Spc. Demarlin M. Lee, a field artillery automated tactical data system specialist with the 2d Battalion, 114th Field Artillery Regiment, Mississippi Army National Guard, inspects the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System on the side of an ammunition carrier shortly before equipment validation May 22, 2017, during the 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team’s rotation at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California.
Civilian contractors instruct units on how to properly install and maintain the communications gear before the equipment validation process to enhance training for the brigade’s rotation, said Lee.
The 114th’s role is to provide indirect fire support to the 155th’s maneuver operations during their rotation here, said Lt. Col. Rodney W. Bowman, commander of the 114th.
“Equipment validation is the backbone of unit readiness,” said Bowman. “If we’re not successful in training, then we won’t be successful when we’re in battle.”
