 Soldiers of the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team, deployed in support of Operation Spartan Shield, recently traded in their Bradley fighting vehicles for Black Hawk helicopters. Today we conducted hot and cold road training, pretty much going over in a real-life scenario how we could infill and ex-fill our situations. This is our bread and butter. This is what we do. We train soldiers and whoever needs training to work around these aircraft and do it in such a way that it provides support to the commander that they are able to do it so they can go out to different areas and get there safely. Even while training under restrictions designed to help prevent COVID-19, the men and women of Task Force Spartan Shield are charged with maintaining a capable and trained force ready to deter aggression anywhere within the United States Central Command's area of responsibility. For Task Force Spartan Shield, I'm Army Master Sergeant Thomas Wheeler.
