DEVENS, Mass. — Seven Soldiers successfully graduate from the Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic’s course at the Regional Training Site-Maintenance (RTS-M) Devens May 19. The graduation ceremony, held at 107 Barnum Rd. in Ayer, marked the culmination of nearly seven weeks of rigorous technical training designed to enhance the readiness and operational capabilities of Army, Army Reserve and National guard units across the nation. During the course, Soldiers received hands-on, intensive instruction on the principals of automotives and practice using those principals across multiple wheeled vehicle platforms. This critical training ensures that military equipment remains fully mission-capable, directly supporting the Army’s overarching mission of prevailing in large-scale combat operations. “This is the beginning of their careers as Ordnance Soldiers,” Sgt. Maj. Arnold Olson, operations sergeant major at RTS-M Devens. “From here they will continue to develop their skills through hands-on training and be an integral part of all Army operations, providing service to the line, on the line, on time.” The graduating class included Soldiers representing several different units from nearly as many different states. Among the graduates, Sgt. Aven Sandoval was recognized as the Distinguished Honor Graduate for demonstrating exceptional technical proficiency and leadership throughout the training cycle. Staff Sgt.
