While all was quiet, much was happening at NTC with 1st Brigade @1stArmoredDiv battling for desert supremacy during Large Scale Combat Opeations against the OPFOR of the 11th ACR-Blackhorse during NTC Rotation 26-01 in October. #LeadTrainWin

It's Pershing Cup day 0. Fun starts tomorrow. @84Railsplitters @OpsGp_Jrtc @USARPAC @NTC_UPDATE @OPSGRP_NTC @firstarmywest @HohenfelsJMRC

Joint training is crucial for enhancing interoperability and combat readiness. During NTC ROT 25-11, the Ground Based Air Defense Btry, of the 3D LAAB, utilized the Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) to protect @LancerBrigade assets from manned & unmanned arial threats

NTC Rotation 25-11 ended with a bang today as @LancerBrigade completed Force-on-Force under live fire conditions. Large Scale Combat and Sustainment Operations in NTCs multi-domain environment challenges every Warfighting Function to ensure lethal and ready forces. #LeadTrainWin

Thank you @JayObernolte for your leadership and constant support for Impact Aid and for our students! #TheSilverValleyWay #ImpactAid @SilverValleyUSD @KarenGray92365 @NTC_UPDATE @MCLB_Barstow @NAFISschools @jaysonindc @military_family @SmallSchoolDA @SBCountySchools @dodeagrants

To face the threat of the @11ArmoredCavReg that's known to be dominant on the multi-domain battlefield, @LancerBrigade focused on maintenance, rehearsals, and calibration before moving to TAA's for that first movement to contact during NTC Rotation 25-11. #LeadTrainWin

Think you know NTC? Think again! Modern battlefields are evolving rapidly - Continuous Transformation is ongoing. The OPFOR of the @11ArmoredCavReg is evolving to challenge Rotational Units so that they are lethal and ready to Win the First Fight. #LeadTrainWin

The 11th ACR—the OPFOR unit at the National Training Center—has been working to incorporate observations from ongoing conflicts into the way it operates. Its answer? Centaur Squadron. mwi.westpoint.edu/reconnaissance…
