Avengers tested their skills at the Battalion
FTX at the beginning of June with a two day exer-
cise. This was a culminating exercise for warrior
tasks and skills Soldiers had trained on for previous
months. They were tested on IED reac-
tions, first aid , reporting
procedures, radio opera-
tions, EPW searches, map
reading, and land navigation. Pictured
here is SGT Christa (lower left) during
the squad ambush lane. We also cele-
brated Victory Week. On 12 July we
had two extremely challenging events
taking place. This included water sur-
vival training,
pictured above,
where soldiers
were tested on
5 areas includ-
ing the blind-
folded jump off
the high dive
and making a
floatation de-
vice out of your
trousers. The other event was the Bri-
gade Devil Stakes competition where a
Squad made of Soldiers from each pla-
toon competed on SALUTE report and
EPW searches against a squad from
each company in Brigade. A Com-
pany’s squad won the competition
bringing great pride to the Avengers.
The members of the squad were SGT
King, SGT Biggora, SPC Pavlich, SPC
Reynolds, and SPC Jaeger. Great job
Avengers!
