Training a Combat Sustainment Support Battalion

摘要

In July 2008, the 529th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB), Virginia Army National Guard, began its journey toward mobilization by attending the 1st Army Joint Assessment Conference (JAC). At that time, the unit was under the assumption that it would deploy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). This was confirmed shortly thereafter when the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Rose, was informed that in early 2010 the 529th would replace the 515th CSSB, an Army National Guard unit from New Mexico, at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Marez.
