 I'm second lieutenant Maggie Fitzgerald. I'm the 716th maintenance platoon leader with Bravo Company 87th DSSB. We are at a company level field exercise with also with 716th maintenance platoon and we are in preparation for the NTC rotation 23-05 coming up in February. The company just redeployed in November so it's our first time getting everybody back out, working on some basic soldier skills as well as freshening up on our maintenance capabilities and just QRF and security in order to help the battalion with their base defense posture when we're out at NTC. I think it's important, especially for our company, we have, my platoon is a brand new capability that's been added to our company, to our battalion, to the division really. And so this is, like I said, the first time since the company's deployment in our new establishment that we're getting together. So actually having those reps and making sure that we get some real experience out at NTC with real situations that we could face when we're deployed in all these different potential circumstances, getting some cohesion between all the different sections since we all have different things that we work on but we all work together under a maintenance company, I think is important for that cohesion and actual effective mission. So this training that we're doing out here is beneficial to both NTC and future deployments because it enables soldiers to better understand their surroundings and the equipment that they're gonna be using out there. A lot of training and planning that goes into it, making sure that soldiers that are coming out here are getting licensed on the vehicles that are required to roll out, making sure that our equipment is loaded onto all of the trucks and everything's serviceable and fully mission capable. Everybody has a plan of action, everybody's tracking what they're supposed to be doing and it just makes everything run a whole lot smoother.
