Fort Bragg, NC – Recently, U.S. Army Special Operations Civil Affairs soldiers conduct patrols in response to a simulated ambush, practicing coordinated movement, threat identification, and crisis communication techniques to maintain operational effectiveness under fire during a training exercise, or CERTEX. The CERTEX focuses on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, or TCCC, readiness, reacting to small arms fire and ambush scenarios, and preparing soldiers to identify and mitigate civil network vulnerabilities, manage crises, practice civil-military coordination, and demonstrate the ability to build trust, and protect critical infrastructure to support civilian and military resilience in unstable and/or hostile environments.
