As U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers, it is important to work on marksmanship fundamentals, lethality and proficiency. Spending time during designated range time offers soldiers the opportunity to receive training, quality practice and ultimately qualify on their individually assigned weapon.
Readiness is one of the commander's top priority. The 201st Theater Public Affairs Support Element successfully conducted the M17 and M4 ranges at Fort Irwin in March, 2026, along with their subordinate units.
USARC STRATCOM, in collaboration with the 301st PAD, 210th TPASE and 335th SC Combat Camera Support, employed tactics, techniques and procedures of public affairs operations to capture, distribute and communicate the individual stories and events of the USAR Best Warrior Competition to internal and external audiences.
