Spc. Tyler Beck, right, applies a bandage to the “shrapnel wound” of a local man at a mock village on Aug. 23 during the Brigade’s week-long field training exercise. Soldiers assigned to C Company, 2nd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82d Airborne Division, and members of the Brigade’s assessment team traveled to the fictional city to gather information from the locals concerning the security of the area and the essential services the town needed to function. Although the scenario was fictional, the training was real. With the Brigade’s history of conducting short-notice deployments to both combat and humanitarian aid missions, it is important that these Paratroopers prepare for all possible scenarios. Beck is a medic assigned to C Company, 407th Brigade Support Battalion, 2/82, and a native of Puyallup, Wash.
