Engineers Train As They Fight.

The article discusses the training received by the U.S. Army Reserve soldiers at the National Training Center (NTC) during the Operation Sand Castle 2007 event in Fort Irwin, California. Soldiers primarily traveled to NTC to upgrade the existing facilities in the area. However, they wore full tactical gears and operated safety vehicles as if they were in hostile environment. This was intended to make them proficient in military occupational specialties and to become better soldiers.
