Hundreds of Oregon Army National Guard Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 82nd Cavalry Regiment completed their annual training in eastern Washington’s rough terrain and harsh climate, June 14-28, 2019. Soldiers of the 1-82nd were tested and evaluated on their combat readiness in coordination with First Army during an eXportable Combat Training Capability (XCTC) rotation at the Yakima Training Center, Wash.
Cavalry scouts, combat medics and support elements from armories in Albany, Portland, The Dalles, Redmond, Prineville, and Bend, Ore. converged to participate in this large-scale training exercise. XCTC events are designed to simulate a realistic combat environment with the intent to test platoon proficiency in their unique military occupational specialties and Soldier skills.
