Instructors with the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) brief Oregon Army National Guard Soldiers before a field exercise during their wild land firefighting training at the DPSST facility in Salem, Oregon, August 28, 2017. Typically a five-day course, the 40-hour training certification was condensed into four longer days so the Soldiers could deploy to the fires more quickly. Nearly 125 Citizen-Soldiers from the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team volunteered for the second iteration (also known as NG-2) of Oregon National Guard personnel called-up to assist with wildfires across the state of Oregon. The Oregon National Guard is currently assigned to three different fires in central and southern Oregon; the Whitewater, High Cascades Complex, and Chetco Bar fires. (Photo by Capt.
