The Indiana Army National Guard’s 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is what the U.S. Army classifies as a light infantry brigade. Translation: no tanks, infantry fighting vehicles or armored personnel carriers.
So when it became time for the brigade’s rotation through the Army’s Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, a number of units with myriad capabilities augmented the 76th.
One of those assets is a company of Stryker Interim Armored Vehicles from the Pennsylvania Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment. The following photos were taken during a pause in the war games. The company conducted control-point operations, quick reactionary force roles and used as an asset supporting its light infantry battalions as needed and where trouble arose during the simulated combat.
