Army enlisted leader sees ‘transformation’ at work in brigade visit
War is finding high ground.
And for the Army, war is terrain. One of three select brigades is learning that during training in real time, not far away from real fighting in Ukraine.
Soldiers with the 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, have spent the past month in Europe spread out between Poland and Germany, where they’ve faced freezing conditions, fog too thick to drive through, rain, snow, mud and all the accompanying challenges such a climate brings.
Based out of Fort Johnson, Louisiana, the 3rd Brigade is one of three Transformation in Contact brigades, an Army-wide effort to test on-the-ground equipment and structural changes, such as new reconnaissance and strike companies. The 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and the 2nd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, out of Hawaii, are also Transformation in Contact brigades.
