When new guidance and or policy is published, especially when it is about COVID, you have to inform the organization. Lots of great questions from the Soldiers of @AxeCompanyOSUT pertaining to their upcoming graduation here @FortBenning.

It is always great to recognize our Soldiers but also a sad day when they leave. SFC Pate, after three years as a Drill Sergeant and 4 months has a 1SG, is headed to @FORSCOM. Thank you SFC Pate and good luck! This We'll Defend!

PFC Criswell (Tuscaloosa, AL) successfully engaged 38 of 40 static targets a few weeks ago, & showed that he can effectively engage a more realistic moving enemy today by hitting 18 of 20. #hawkeye #FollowMe @Dave_Hodne @DerrickGarner20 @198thOSUT @RockForce7 @PatDonahoeArmy
