Members of the U.S. Army Asymmetric Warfare Group conducted a Risk Reductions Exercise at Fort A.P. Hill and at the Center for National Response in Gallagher, W.V., from Sep. 3-14 in order to prepare Soldiers from the Brigade Modernization Command for their upcoming participation in a subterranean assessment at the Network Integration Evaluation 14.1, scheduled as a distributive test event in November. During the exercise, Soldiers from Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division were put through various scenarios in order to better prepare them on how to conduct operations within a subterranean environment. Additionally, the AWG identified capability gaps during the exercise and mentored Soldiers in developing techniques to reduce the gaps. AWG’s overall end state for the exercise is to develop an Army Techniques Publication on subterranean warfare for the force, which currently does not exist. The end state for the exercise was to develop technique solutions to capability gaps with respect to subterranean operation identified during NIE 13.2. Available in High Definition.
