A First Army unit is playing a key role in the largest training event in the history of the U.S. Army Reserve.
The 181st Infantry Brigade is providing support to Army Reserve units during Operation Sentinel Justice this month. Nearly 15,000 Soldiers are participating in the exercise, which prepares Army Reserve forces for Large Scale Combat Operations.
Perspective from the Force: SOF Sustainment for Denied Area Operations in LSCO
By Chief Warrant Officer 2 Yuwei Lee | June 29, 2026
Denied-area operations in large-scale combat operations (LSCO) require Green Berets to provide their own sustainment. For this article, the focus is only on food procurement, as the saying often attributed to Napoleon goes, “An army marches on its stomach.” In 20 years within the special operations community, I have never practiced or trained on sustainment operations during pre-mission training, especially for deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). We have always prioritized tactical training, and rightfully so. The GWOT Era rarely required sustainment training as we had staging bases throughout the area of operation.
