 During the first few days of the Joint Readiness Training Center rotation, 2506th Infantry Regiment Third Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, is tasked to secure a small town and subdue enemy combatants who incited anti-American propaganda. I think the battalions doing absolutely outstanding. They've responded well, they've given some challenges. We've been moving now for just over 24 hours straight through the night, moving into the box, they've been walking all day and made a really well-executed and timely clearance of this village. And now that we've completed that, we're going to continue moving. We've got a few more structures and a few more areas that we want to clear out. Taking the local capital and one of the training villages at JRTC, which had been invaded by the local militia groups, is just the first step for Third Brigade Combat Team to achieve their objective. The guys are motivated and they're performing absolutely outstanding and I love what I'm seeing here. In the 101st, they are shifting back to training for large-scale combat operations. This type of training is essential to how the 101st maintains its readiness to win any future fight when called upon. Reporting from Fort Polk, Louisiana, I'm Army Sergeant Jacob Conner.
