Dakota Troop, 1-1 CAV

*Let's pretend I planned this late post*

We are thrilled to announce that our recent Spur Ride at DCTC, Poland was a great success, with 12 Troopers successfully earning their spurs. This included the TRP CDR, XO, 1SG, and a number of other dedicated soldiers.

*Late but worth the wait*

Witness the power of CSDP, a program designed for commanders. In this captivating image, the TRP CDR can be seen meticulously conducting inventories of the CBRN masks. Accompanied by a skilled supply team consisting of SPC Alyson Issac and PFC Saran Camara. SGT Amir Baker, SPC Isak Castro, and SPC Victoria Rowland from the Distribution PLT, the CDR ensures every detail is accounted for.

*Late uploading but always shining*
The maintenance control section (MCS) of Dakota Forward Support Troop plays a vital role in the brigade combat team's maintenance management system. In the picture, you can see some of the dedicated MCS personnel, including the skilled Maintenance Tech and the TRP CDR. It was a moment of joy for CW2 Allen Carter as he had the honor of reenlisting SPC Kevin Dechert.

As we approach the end of the week, the Dakota Troopers are dedicating their efforts to refining their abilities and engaging in valuable cross-training exercises across diverse MOS categories within the Troop. This deliberate approach plays a crucial role in sustaining of our horses.

*Late Splash*

Embracing the holiday spirit while deployed to Poland, eight teams from the Blackhawks and Rams competed for the title of best chili master chef. The 2ABCT, 1AD commander Col. Dwight D. Domengeaux gave a medal to the Dakota Forward Support Troop, SPC. Joaquin Campbell for the best chili master chef. Also, highlighted are the members of the Feed Feeding Team (SGT Harris, SPC Tolentino, SSG Aine, PV2 Rayburn, and SGT Sanchez) and the Troop CDR (CPT Ibe).

Hatchet Troop's Medical Platoon conducted Combat Life Saver (CLS) training.
This training program provided PV2 Casuso the abilities he needed to give urgent medical care in combat scenarios. It entailed training in critical medical procedures, techniques, and equipment to ensure he is well-prepared for the battlefield's obstacles.
