FORT HUNTER LIGGETT, Calif. \u2013 Combat Support Training Exercise 91-24-01 kicked off at Fort Hunter Liggett, California, where OC\/Ts, from the 85th U.S. Army Reserve Support Command, supported the exercise to ensure training units met the readiness level for future missions, overseas exercises and deployments.<\/p>\n

OC\/Ts with the 2-340th Training Support Battalion, based out of Louisville, Kentucky, and the 3-337th Training Support Battalion, based out of Fort Knox, Kentucky, integrated with various units that participated in the exercise to assess and improve operations for potentially real-world events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group of OC\/Ts we have are fantastic; they are very knowledgeable, very easy to work with, and very easy to get a hold of; any issues that we are having, they are helping to get to the bottom of, and we appreciate all the support that we have been getting so far,\u201d said Capt. Dalton Canon, Company Commander, 733rd Transportation Company, based out of Reading, Pennsylvania. \u201cThey will work with us on a couple of (exercise) injections that will help us get after a couple of our Mission Essential Tasks List,\u201d Canon added.<\/p>\n

CSTXs are designed to evaluate Army Reserve units’ readiness for mobilization. They accomplish this by injecting exercises to test Soldiers\u2019 knowledge of their METL. OC\/Ts observe Soldiers completing the task at hand and will conduct and After-Action Review at the end of the exercise to brief units on their performance during any given task.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese kinds of exercises are very beneficial for us as they help us to prepare for anything that might happen in the future,\u201d said Pfc. Benjamin Lopez with the 733rd Transportation Company. \u201cThis is the first exercise I am part of being new to the Army, and it helps me understand what the Army is about; we have to protect ourselves; we have to protect the Soldiers I am serving with and also the civilians from any threats we might face,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This year, over 4400 Soldiers from different parts of the country and various military occupations took part in CSTX 91-24-01, June 1-15, 2024, hosted by the 91st Training Division at Fort Hunter Liggett.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese soldiers only train an average of 63 days per year, and they are phenomenal at their jobs,\u201d said Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Doebler, an OC\/T assigned to the 2-340th TSBN, tasked with evaluating the 733rd Transportation Company. \u201cI admire them because they carried out their mission gracefully and efficiently. I didn\u2019t realize how much of an impact simple interjections and tweaks could make to help mold better practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exercise focuses on training different Army Reserve units. Medical, logistics, quartermasters, and transportation units are some of the units that participated this year. Every unit runs missions according to its designated military task.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have learned that they have been operating at a quarter of the authorized personnel for their battalion, and despite all setbacks, the mission still got accomplished,\u201d said Doebler. \u201cJunior soldiers seemed to be the hungriest for knowledge, and after a work report was established, the Soldiers came to the OC\/Ts for answers. I feel like we all walked away a little better than before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
