A.P. Hill, VA – U.S. Army special operations civil affairs (ARSOF CA) soldiers train to operate an Unmanned Systems (UxS) countermeasure device prior to conducting a simulated civil reconnaissance mission during the most recent STALKHM exercise. STALKHM is a comprehensively designed evaluation aimed at testing and certifying civil affairs companies, typically comprised of five CATs, for deployment to theaters of operations around the globe. “STALKHM” is given its name in honor of fallen ARSOF CA servicemembers: Sgt. 1st Class Matthew Sluss-Tiller, Maj. James Ahern, Maj. Robert Lindenau, Sgt. Keith Kline, Sgt. 1st Class David Hartman, and Staff Sgt. Kashif Memon. The exercise builds a robust and complex scenario that simulates an ARSOF CA deployment to a global area of operations and tests them through all phases of conflict, from competition, through crisis, and the critical transition to conflict.
