Normally training at Fort Polk is a month long with prep soldiers heading out a week in advance to get equipment off of trains and then there will be soldiers that will be left behind for a week to put equipment and vehicles back on trains.
Fort Polk is for east coast pre-deployment training
Fort Irwin is for West coast pre-deployment training
Normally you at least have a brigade (multiple battalions) deploy to train at one time.
all i know is that some guys are going down to prepare the exercise on this Wednesday and are staying there for the rest of the month. im assuming that troops go down for the actual event around the weekend.
Yes they are the advance or torch party that goes down first. Same with deployments. They handle logistics. Fort Polk is a training center called JRTC all of this is typical training rotations. Do a little digging and you can probably pull up the rotational unit calendar with the units that are scheduled to rotate through training during FY21.
Sorry, bro, the language here doesn't communicate solidity.
"i think"? "last about a week"?
I'm new here, but everyone seems to be asking for solid, not conjecture.
Any confirmation on this info?
