Credit goes to Staff Sgt. Christopher A. Hoffert for putting that video together.
According to video shared by DVIDS (Defense Visual Information Distribution Service), the combined arms battalion soldiers conducted a company assault as part of their urban operations training at Fort Harrison, Montana over the weekend:
The exercise began with Bravo Company being air assaulted to a landing Zone (LZ) by CH-47 helicopters from the 1-189th General Support Aviation Battalion based out of Helena, Montana. From the LZ, Bravo Company foot marched to the MOUT site where they began their assault. They fired blank and simulated (SIM) rounds while moving towards their objectives as opposing forces (OPFOR) employed SIM rounds as well in an attempt to delay or stop their advance. This sort of direct contact training allows our Guard members, Soldiers and leaders, to react to real time conditions and changes on the battlefield.
