    Staff Sgt. Wheldon Nelson, an area security and force protection specialist for the Massachusetts Army National Guard's 151st Regional Support Group and a civilian police officer from Middleborough, Mass., participates in a culminating training exercise for the Pennsylvania Army National Guard's 28th Infantry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, Jan. 30, 2018. Both units are preparing to deploy to the Middle East, where the 151st RSG Soldiers will augment the staff of U.S. Army Central, the 28th ID's higher headquarters in theater.

    “The 151st Soldiers are learning and familiarizing themselves with the staff roles that we’ll be performing in theater," said the unit’s deputy commander, Lt. Col. Geoffrey Love. "Being here for the CTE allows us to build relationships with the 28th ID before we actually get in the box. It really sets us up for success.”
