U.S. Army Soldiers under the 420th Engineer Brigade conduct a wet-gap crossing in Belton Lake near Fort Hood, Texas, May 16, 2026.
The 420th Engineer Brigade, based in Bryan, Texas, alongside supporting engineer and maneuver units, participated in Operation Hood Strike 26, a large-scale, multi-component exercise conducted at Fort Hood. The training highlights the brigade’s mission-essential capability to operate as part of a broader combat system, integrating bridging units, reconnaissance teams, and maneuver forces where success depends on every element arriving at the right place at the right time.
Operation Hood Strike 26 integrates Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard forces through synchronized, realistic training designed to enhance readiness and interoperability across the Total Force. Hosted by the 416th Theater Engineer Command with III Armored Corps serving as the enabling unit, the exercise strengthens cohesive, deployable formations prepared to succeed in multi-domain operations.
