 Lieutenant Colonel Frank Maxwell, F-R-A-N-K-M-A-X-W-E-L-L, I'm the commander of 2nd Battalion, 18th Field Artillery Regiment, 75th Field Artillery Brigade. So today we're returning from the National Training Center. About a month ago we conducted the emergency deployment readiness exercise. We alerted Marshall and deployed in 10 days. Went to Fort Irwin, California to participate in the National Training Center rotation 21-10. Supporting 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division. So we had about 300 soldiers participate in the training. We were there for about three and a half weeks, conducting large-scale ground combat operations. So our soldiers performed exceptionally well. We supported an infantry division along with that brigade combat team and provided multiple launchers and rockets with the fires, long-range precision fires, and support that unit. One of the things we did exceptionally well is provide timely and accurate long-range fires in support of maneuver operations, specifically large-scale ground combat operations. So for the National Training Center, this is my first rotation as well as many of our soldiers. We do have a few veterans within the battalion that had participated. However, it's changed to where you immediately come off the plane and deploy right into the field and initiate large-scale ground combat operations. So after talking to many of the soldiers and spending some time out in the Mojave Desert, you know, a lot of our soldiers truly miss the Lawton-Portsdale community and are very excited to be back home.
