Over 4,200 Soldiers made final preparations today before Operation Hickory Sting goes live tomorrow! The over 4,000 Soldiers are comprised not only from the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) but also from the @ohionationalguard, @official_scguard, and @wv_nationalguard, along with the Moldovan Army. . . The operation focuses on combined arms maneuvers and collective gunnery at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, providing the best and most current combat training available in the U.S. Army preparing the ABCT for deployment overseas later this fall. #HickorySting, #NCNG, #30thABCT, #CitizenSoldier, #AmericanSoldier #NationalGuard (at National Training Center/Fort Irwin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzW4ISVhTqT/?igshid=kbcaom8s525f
