Chosen Company trained on operations within urban environments by honing their skills on room clearance and maneuver from room to room.

Leaders threw different variables on top of Soldiers’ primary task of clearing a house (ie. casualties, limited visibility, and non-combatants) to evaluate your Chosen Few’s adaptability to operate effectively within urban conditions.

Chosen Company completed Squad Live Fire in tandem with 52nd Brigade Engineer Battalion’s Engineer Qualification Tables. Weapon Squads provided suppression on to an enemy objective while engineers from A CO "Assassins", 52nd Brigade Engineer Battalion conducted an explosive breach. Rifle Squads then executed a maneuver live fire, conducting a frontal assault in a react to contact scenario.

Enhancing partnerships through training with enabling units are what make your Chosen Few the most company within 2-12 IN! After the past week, your Chosen Few stand ready for Platoon Live Fire!

Your Chosen Few completed Squad Situational Training Exercises (STX) last week in partnership with HHC Scouts to evaluate individual Squads’ abilities to plan and execute operations upon being given an Operations Order. Squad Leaders kicked off the morning with flipping and briefing a Platoon Order into executing an Ambush against known oppositional forces within their area of operations. During their mission, Chosen Soldiers conducted a link up with friendly Scouts, gathered intelligence on the location of their objective location, and emplaced their elements deliberately in anticipation for the enemy to enter the objective.

The training exercise presented a unique set of mental and physical challenges for your Chosen Few, honing their abilities to think critically in high stress environments.

This past week, your Chosen Few sharpened their marksmanship skills under night by executing Night Short Range Marksmanship. Soldiers engaged stationary targets while manipulating their PEQ-15s under night vision devices to increase individual lethality under low visibility.
