Sgt. Jaleel Bodden, a cavalry scout and Bradley crew member assigned to 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, participates in a counter-unmanned aircraft system qualification event at Fort Hood, Texas, July 16, 2026. The training familiarized Soldiers with identifying, tracking and defeating drone threats while operating in realistic field conditions. Bodden said the training helps Troopers recognize drone capabilities, react to emerging threats and remain combat ready as technology continues to shape the modern battlefield. Conducted in adverse weather conditions, the event challenged Soldiers to sharpen their skills and prepare for real-world combat environments as part of the 1st Cavalry Division’s Pegasus Charge and Transformation in Contact initiatives.
