FORT KNOX, Ky. – Sgt. 1st Class Lucenthia Warden currently serves as a lane safety for the squad live fire lane, Task Force Wolf during Cadet Summer Training on Fort Knox, Kentucky.
The lane safeties observe and ensure the Cadets employ necessary safety protocols while conducting squad live fire training, which teaches them to perform basic tactics such as moving tactically as a squad, assessing the environment for threats, communicating effectively to their element, and engaging the targets proficiently.
Warden, a Little Rock, Arkansas, native, views her instructor role during the training as pivotal to the future of the Army.
“I like it; I’ve been an instructor for a while but this is my first time with CST. We are here to get trained leaders into the military—that’s the goal here,” she said. “Our job out here is very important.”
