1. 2nd PLT Conducting a SQD Patrol
2nd PLT Barbarian Company has continued to sustain progress
and motivation as the year comes to a close. Maneuver training
has progressed from Fire-team to Squad level missions. As we
prepare to enter a new year 2nd Platoon has been preparing for
vehicle crew qualification, Squad live-fire exercises, and the
beginning of operations as a Platoon. The new year will continue
by integrating the firepower of Stryker vehicles, “Weapons
Squad” with their machine guns, and well-trained Squads and
Fire-teams operating as a cohesive unit.
