Quarterhorse learns the ropes
SLOVAKIA – Soldiers of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operations Platoon of the 1st Squadron, 4th U.S. Cavalry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, were instructed in ropes training for search and rescue operations by instructors from the Texas Army National Guard, April, 11, 2019.
The ropes search and rescue was a training event during the 2-week Toxic Lance exercise for the CBRN Soldiers of the 1st. Sqd. 4th. Cav. Regt. The training included learning rope knots and equipment to make secure 1-to-1 and 3-to-1 rope systems and then to use those systems as a team to effectively conduct rescues.
“The Soldiers received the training well; they were having fun and taking pictures. It was good training and if they needed to use it in a real life situation I would feel comfortable letting them do it,” said 1st Lt. Jiovanni Valldejuli, an instructor from the Texas Army National Guard.
“It was really exciting getting to do something different from just another day in the motor pool. This training is actually beneficial because it prepares us for real situations. I also feel like it’s important to know general things like tying a simple knot,” said Pvt. Jacob Keller, an Assistant Surveyor, CBRN Reconnaissance Platoon, HHT, 1st. Sqd. 4th. Cav. Regt.
