A Soldier from the 261st Tactical Theatre Signal Brigade, Delaware National Guard prepares for a two man rush with her buddy team on the 5th Armored Brigade, First Army Division West, Individual Movement Technique lane. Following an off-site "crawl" phase where Soldiers are taught IMTs as battle drills, choreographed to become automatic responses to stimuli, the Soldiers move onto the paintball course to apply their techniques in a realistic environment. Paintballs simulate live fire and Soldiers being "hit" are taken out of the scenario as casualties. 5th AR Bde. has trained over 70,000 National Guard and Reserve Soldiers deploying in support of the Global War on Terror and is committed to training based on core competencies - combat skills, force protection, team support processes, technical and tactical training, advisor skills, counter insurgency operations and understanding the culture which produces leaders and Soldiers who are confident, competent and disciplined in their skills, knowledge and abilities. 5th AR is currently training the 261st TTSB for deployment to Iraq
