    Fueling up tanks, the first item on the morning to do list.

    The Idaho Army National Guard’s three companies from the Combined Arms Battalion all spread out across the Orchard Combat Training Center in May 2021. A, B, and C companies were scattered across the OCTC conducting a series of training events. Central among those events was gunnery qualifications.

    B Company set a primary goal of building on vehicle and crew proficiency. With several key personnel serving on the COVID 19 state-wide task force, B company was impacted with gaps among their tank crews. Secondary goals for training were focused on maintenance and digital communications systems within the Abrams Tanks. New tank crews were formed with soldiers serving in roles above their current ranks and positions.

    “ It was great to see soldiers step up into new positions, eager to learn and preform above expectations,“ said B Company Commander, Cpt. Jeff Dahl.

    B Company qualified 100% of their crews and were the first tank unit to successfully navigate and complete the new OCTC DAGIR Range.
