🍽️ CHOW TIME 🍽️

Today, your Troopers got a break from their MREs for lunch and got a Deep South meal catered for them courtesy of 2LT Ryan Roth. They enjoyed red beans and rice, fried catfish, sausage, sweet tea, and all the fixins while sharing some laughs and strengthening their bonds with one another after being led in prayer by SGT Carter Bunch.

While extended time away from home is difficult, these moments help forge core memories and build strong relationships that may not always come naturally during the normal drill weekends. Day by day, we are becoming a stronger team for the days, weeks, and months ahead on deployment 🇺🇸

💥 JRTC ROTATION 25-08 💥

Bushmaster Troop completed a demanding rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) in the legendary Tigerland—a critical milestone in our preparation for deployment. Over two relentless weeks inside “the box,” our Troopers operated in a high-intensity combat simulation replicating the realities of Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO).

From the moment we stepped off, it was total immersion: no beds, no showers, no toilets, no cell phones—just raw soldiering under pressure. Everything the enemy says we need, we proved we could do without. Geronimo—the opposing force (OPFOR)—is infamous for testing units across every warfighting function: maneuver, fires, intelligence, sustainment, protection, and command and control.

Whether conducting zone reconnaissance or screening operations, our Troopers met each challenge with grit, adaptability, and decisive action. Pushing through exhaustion, uncertainty, and friction, they emerged sharper, tougher, and more lethal—ultimately forging a more cohesive, combat-ready team.

With JRTC behind us, we now shift our focus to post-mobilization training to further prepare for our deployment to CENTCOM 🇺🇸
