If these troops are at the NTC Fort Irwin, they are getting the best training possible...same training as the reg Army.....whiners, from the Left Coast.....Mike1sg
Right now, they are at their mobilization station, Ft. Bliss. But they will go to either Ft. Irwin (NTC) or Ft. Polk (JRTC). Every combat brigade that deploys to Iraq/Afghanistan must go to a Combat Training Center at NTC and JRTC are known, and must be certified as combat ready before deployment.
