A Storm is coming.
Final preparations today for Devil Storm...
The morning started with the Combined Arms Rehearsal (CAR) - the Brigade walk-through of the planned operation, during which Company/Battery/Troop commanders, along with sustainment leaders, brief the team on the base plan of executing the mission.
The day closes out with Sustained Airborne Training (SAT) for all Paratroopers who will be jumping into the fight.
The Storm is upon us...watch it unfold this week!

So happy to see this being exercised again in the Army. It was always a useful tool to reinforce understanding (and confidence). Experienced commanders ensure the sustainment piece receives the attention it deserves. Especially when those supporting you can change with the passing of a phase line.

Of the 20 years that I was stationed at bragg with the 82nd I never jumped into a FTX or was assigned to a combat operation that went according to plan, the order of the day was to March to the sound of fire

Looks great but it could be training promo shots.
It would bother me greatly that any Armed Forces would release a planned military action to the public unless they had a reason.
Remember Trump has specifically made it clear that he does not let the enemy know what he’s up to.

Join the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade’s Pegasus Priority Program as we welcome Mrs. Vicki Cody, author, military mother, and spouse of the 31st Vice Chief of the Staff of the Army to join us for an interactive virtual discussion at Noon on March 25 entitled, "A Matter of Trust: A Framework for Military Life.”
Today #Paratroopers from Fort Bragg and XVIII Airborne Corps, the 82nd Airborne Division and the Royal Netherlands 11 Luchtmobiele Brigade gathered with Family and Friends to bid farewell to an All American Hero and Legendary Paratrooper: Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth "Rock" Merritt. Merritt served with the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II, jumping into Normandy and Holland. After the war, he continued to serve and would become the first XVIII Airborne Corps Command Sergeant Major. After retirement, he continued to give back to the U.S. Army community by mentoring young Soldiers with his wisdom and experience. The entire All American Division mourns this loss. Remember, Paratroopers never die, they just slip away.

A true hero. Thank you CSM Merritt for the countless amounts inspiration you gave to so many paratroopers. I still remember when I first came to Bragg and hearing the stories of great men like you. As we all know, paratroopers don’t die, they just slip away. AATW!
