 My name is Arm First Class Scotty Scoggins. I am a mod company, First Battalion of 503rd. We're out of Vicenza, Italy. We're here in order to conduct squad live fires as well as platoon live fires. We're doing this in order to validate our squads and to become the most lethal platoons in the army. The platoon live fire is actually extremely important. It enables us to perfect our synchronization as a platoon, not only just with our internal squads, but doing this with our internal platoon and company assets. What this enables us to do is come across as a platoon integrating those in, which enables us to ultimately close within destroy on the enemy. Yeah, the training area, it's extremely conducive to our training, I'll tell you that. We don't get a whole lot of areas that offer this kind of terrain with the depressions and the micro terrain, so it makes it a lot more real. Training with the corrections has been great. It's enabled us to cross train with another NATO force. This is important due to the fact that when you're deployed, you don't always have your own assets with you. It may be another NATO unit. So getting together, cross training and getting those current TTPs with the battalion mortars and the echelon of fires, and having that next capability, it's been great. It's helped us out a lot with our echelon of fires and the different phase lines that we've gone through with the platoon li-fires.
