Mounted Operations drives combat readiness at Patriot Forge II
Before Air National Guard civil engineers can build, repair, or sustain infrastructure in a contested environment, they may first have to move themselves, their equipment, and their teams safely through unfamiliar terrain. At Patriot Forge II, the Mounted Operations module prepared them to do just that. Mounted operations was one of four scenario-based training modules that were part of Patriot Forge II, a Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force Region 1 field training exercise held Aug. 10-15 at Fort Devens. The exercise brought together approximately 200 Air National Guard personnel from across New England, including members of the 101st, 102nd, 103rd and 157th Civil Engineer Squadrons and supporting Mission Support Group personnel.
