CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. -- Under heavy winds and frigid temperatures Soldiers with the 705th Transportation Company descended upon the fields to hone their basic marksmanship skills with individual weapons qualifications to increase combat readiness, on 18 Nov. 2017.

Being trained and ready are the top priorities for these Soldiers. As Army Reserve units are tasked with maintaining a higher level of peacetime readiness to off set risk to our nation these Troops realize mobilizations and deployments are becoming a very real possibility. Maintaining proficiency of basic Soldiering skills enhances their lethality to win on the battlefield. "Maintaining marksmanship is very important especially if we come up on a deployment," said Sgt. Denarae F. Holderby, "it's important to make sure everyone is ready and prepared."
