The 211th and 200th Engineer Company’s had a great training this past weekend. There was a great display of bridging operations out on Lake Madison and we were lucky to have the 114th Fighter Wing give us a flyover! Our combat engineers had their Sapper Stakes competition and part of that was seen by the public as one of their events was land navigation. Soldiers had to find points throughout the city of Madison. Thank you to the Madison community for the ongoing support of our men and women in uniform.
