Way to go B Co!

Alpha Company, 410th Civil Affairs Battalion is leading the way at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, CA!

As part of the U.S. Army Reserve, they’re working alongside Psychological Operations, Unit Ministry Teams, Military Intelligence, Armor, Infantry, Signal, and Sustainment units. Together, they’re gaining a comprehensive understanding of the civil terrain to support the 2nd “Blackjack” Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division in achieving mission success.

From integrating civil considerations to fostering inter-unit collaboration, Alpha Company is demonstrating the Reserve’s critical role in complex training operations.

At the 410th, we recognized soldiers for their work ethic and exceeding the standards.
This time we celebrated Cadet Gavin Hinojos-Tomeny from graduating from CST. The frocked of 1SG Thomas Sotomayor, AAMs for SSG Blanca Austin, and SSG Solis for their execptional work at CENTAM Guardian FY24, an AAM to CPT Henry for her work at Tradewinds. Another AAM to SGT Jayden Johnson and 1LT Pamela Norris. We also want to congratulate to our new MAJ Kristin Romero and our new SGT Joel Valles. Last but not least, SGT Osman Reyes made it into the commandant’s list for the 38B MOS training and BLC course. We also want to say Outstanding work everyone! One more special person we want to recognize is 1SG Michael Carrasco who retired after 25 years of service to the Navy and the Army. We will miss you Top. Thank you for your mentorship and for always placing soldiers first.

Moreover, for CENTAM Guardian 24, 4 soldiers were awarded AAM (Army achievement awards) for their outstanding commitment: SSG Navarro, Diego and SFC Ortega, David and SGT Herrera, Filberto and 1LT Pamela Norris. Finally, for selfless dedication and overall mission success at U.S. Southern Command’s Tradewinds 2024 exercise, AAMs were given to SFC Lugo, Roland and SGT Romagnino, Robert. Congratulations to you all!

410 Civil Affairs Soldiers had four days of annual training jam packed with outstanding training opportunities, including ranges, air operations, ruck marches, and training lanes.

Congratulations SSG Emanuel Hinostroza (92A) for reenlisting with us this weekend!
“I would like to thank my wife and my kids. All I want to do is be a good example for them. I would like nothing more for them to follow their own path but if they decide to carry on the tradition of wearing the uniform I’ll happy for that as well.
This is a good unit and I hope to see all of you reenlist.”

We are Civil Affairs, and our drill weekends involve training, hiking, and savoring great food.
