Maj. Kenneth V. Anthony, operations officer for 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team, Mississippi Army National Guard, and Lt. Col. Rodney W. Bowman, commander of 2d Battalion, 114th Field Artillery Regiment, develop a course of action for the brigade to move from the Rotational Unit Bivouac Area to the tactical assembly area at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. During the 155th’s rotation at NTC, officers must work quickly but carefully through the multi-step military decision making process, known as MDMP, to make sure the mission will be successful. “Being at NTC forces us to plan in a compressed timeline with multiple competing priorities and still get the mission done,” said Anthony. “It allows us to further hone our skills while we’re here.” (Mississippi National Guard photo by Sgt.
