Idaho Army National Guard soldiers from Charlie Company of the 2-116th Combined Arms Battalion gather in the morning to prepare for grenade training.
With units and personnel from the Idaho Army National Guard just a few weeks away from an overseas deployment, weekend training events are narrowing to specific skill training. Charlie Company, one of three companies in the combined arms battalion of the 2-116th and part of the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, spent a recent weekend training handling and throwing practice grenades.
If there is an art to throwing grenades, its definitely all about body form and posture.
Soldiers ran a gauntlet of six different stations with different positional requirements from prone to kneeling and crawling. Soldiers used practice grenades armed with a firing simulator that produced a small bang and smoke.
The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team is the state’s largest unit and located in more than 20 Idaho communities and four states: Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Oregon. The unit is one of five armored brigade combat teams in the National Guard and one of 16 in the United States Army. Since 2001, the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team has deployed twice to Iraq, completed National Training Center rotations and trained around the country and world. The 2-116th Cavalry Regiment is one of the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team’s three combined arms battalions. The CAB is headquartered in Caldwell with units in Emmett and Nampa, Idaho.
