Reserve Engineers Lead the Way for Urban Operation Construction at NTC

Abstract

Reserve engineer units are helping make changes to the training facilities at the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. Operation Sand Castle, a coordinated effort between the NTC G-3 office and the United States Army Reserve Command (USARC), completed its second year of construction efforts, and Reserve participation is expected for another eight years. The mission is to provide upgrades to NTC training facilities and existing urban operation cities and to complete a new urban operation city known as Tiefort City consisting of 300 to 500 buildings. The new city will create a premiere training area for an entire brigade combat team (BCT).
