Snow, rain, and mortar rounds showered down at limestone hills this weekend as members of HHC 1-163 and the 148th Field Artillery Regiment combined their efforts while conducting live fire exercises.

This relationship builds trust and confidence while fostering cohesion and precision for commanders in the field during future operations.

While unpredictable weather has been an obstacle, the soldiers are keeping warm and hanging tough.
