#WhatsYourWarrior | Small Arms/Artillery Repairer (91F)
The weapons used by #Soldiers in the U.S. Army are among the most sophisticated and technically advanced in the world. Our Soldiers depend on those weapon systems in training and most importantly, in combat and their confidence depends on our Small Arms/Artillery Repairers. These technical experts are responsible for keeping a wide array of weapons — from small arms to field artillery and large ballistic missiles — operating properly.

1-1 CAV | Team Leader Challenge
#MotivationalMonday | Blackhawk's Team Leader Challenge
#IronSoldiers from the 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment participated in the final event of the Squadron's Team Leader Academy. The program trained and certified over 35 team leaders across the unit. The competition allowed the competitors to plan and resource a squad style competition, teaching them the importance of rehearsals and what it takes to run an event. They used classes such as 8 step training model to assist them in the preparation for the event. The teams mixed and matched competitors from different companies in order to build camaraderie and trust. This taught them how to adapt and over come any shortfalls when thrown into a situation. Check out the highlights from their competition.
