30th Brigade was at the Nat'l Training Center, Ft. Irwin, CA, in June '03.
I was there, riding with 11th ACR, training them.
30th BDE got their butts handed to them the first few days, but they got it down towards the end.
These Guardsmen will do just fine.

If rotational units at NTC didn't get their butts handed to them in the first part of a cycle, well, who needs an NTC? Better there than in Falluja! Ditto for JRTC!

"Yeah, we're a little bit gray," said one first sergeant with a smile. "But you know what they say: 'Age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm every day.'"Lol. Yep, unless you're Saddam and Osama up against the freshman grads of the total force US military. (^:
Thank you, Sarge.
Just in case the deploying units stop by FR:
