As the first National Guard brigade transitioning to the MBCT construct, 116 MBCT is setting the pace.

From planning and coordination to ex*****on in the field, these units are sharpening communication, leadership, and sustainment across the formation. Our OC/Ts remain alongside them every step of the way—one team.

Last week, six OC/Ts completed an intensive 80-hour certification course designed to build proficiency and readiness across multiple training environments.

The course included FPV instruction and academics, flight simulation, indoor and outdoor training to reinforce technical knowledge and operational understanding.

This was more than just certification, it was a demonstration of discipline, adaptability, and commitment to mission success.

As requirements evolve, so do our OC/Ts.

Trained. Certified. Ready.

Last Thursday in Savannah, GA, the came together for the 188th Infantry Brigade Ball—an evening that honored our past and reinforced our purpose.

With the support of First Army leadership, we brought a WWII theme to life by showcasing original 1st Army uniforms and props that reminded us exactly where we come from and why we serve.

Soldiers broke bread, raised a glass, and stood alongside the families who make this mission possible.

BG Fryman, the DCGMOB, said it best “First Army and the 188th are the team building readiness for Compo 2 and 3.”

We don’t just carry the legacy—we build what comes next.
