Screaming and surrounding the Soldiers, they test their military bearing in a high stress situation.
Sgt. Stephen Davies, a truck driver with the 319th Transportation Company, calmly directs his Soldiers to hand out food in an organized manner.
“This is very realistic,” said Davies, a two-tour veteran of Iraq participating in Combat Support Training Exercise 2016. “It’s good education for the Soldiers who don't have experience.”
Davies, a native of Brooklyn, believes his training in the military is beneficial to his civilian life.
When Davies completes this three-week-long training exercise he will return to the daily grind of construction work. Along with that, he serves his community as a volunteer firefighter.
“I enjoy being a firefighter,” said Davies. “They rely on me to drive the firetrucks whether its a house fire, motor vehicle crash or any other emergency. They taught me how to drive trucks in the military.
“With what [the Army Reserve] has given me, I have the tools to be an effective leader, as well as teach, train and coach soldiers,” Davies said.
