More than 2,500 Soldiers assembled at Camp Roberts, California to participate in this year’s Exportable Combat Training Capability (XCTC). The 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is comprised of soldiers from Hawaii, Guam and Arizona to participate and engage in simulated deployment scenarios.
In the B-Roll PKG, you will find soldiers from the 227th Brigade Engineer Battalion set up and train with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The model they are using is called the RQ-7A Shadow. Being able to fly for several hours, they are used to gather intel during day/night reconnaissance missions, surveillance, and target acquisition. The Hawaii Army National Guard soldiers get to train with these machines quarterly and say they love being able to use them at XCTC.
SOT: Sgt. Shawn Diocares, 227th Brigade Engineer Battalion
XCTC is a portable combat training center rotation that can be moved from any state or location that has the capability to support a brigade size element of 2,000 Soldiers and provide platoon and squad sized evaluations.
