16th Sustainment Brigade

Baumholder, GE-- Over the past months, soldiers from the 95th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, known as the "Iron Herd," have received a multitude of safety briefs and training as part of the Battalion's initiative to reduce mishaps and maintain a ready force.

During the briefings, Soldiers were allowed to ask questions and receive direct feedback from the respective subject matter experts. This provided another learning opportunity for fellow service members in attendance. These sessions, along with regularly scheduled training, are another way the Iron Herd maintains readiness while providing combat sustainment support across the U.S. Army Europe and Africa area of responsibility.
