 I'm Captain Nils Olson, the Assistant Operations Officer for 1st Battalion 503rd Infantry Airborne, here in Sloone, Croatia conducting live fire exercises as part of Eagle Storm. This training rotation featured live fire training at echelon. Our scout platoon perfected its long range marksmanship at a sniper range. Our heavy weapons dog company qualified on the M240, 50 cal and Mark 19 in a range density. Our rifle platoons and squads first conducted a squad live fire where they knocked out a bunker with a live hand grenade and then culminated in a platoon live fire integrating mortars using live breaching and knocking out bunkers with hand grenades again. None of this would have been possible without the support of our Croatian partners and allies. This training rotation is invaluable for us to be an effective airborne assault battalion. In order to do that, we need lethal squads and platoons and this live fire training allowed us to train on those tasks in particular. Finally, we can't do this training at home station and so we're gracious that we're able to come to Croatia, train here in a world class field environment and get after all of our key tasks. We look forward to doing it again.
