Building soldiering skills: How a veterinary detachment trains for large-scale combat
Staff Sgt. Marie Bunch discusses the Unitized Group Rations (UGR) with Spc. Christal Ramirez in July’s WAREX 25 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. While WAREX, a two-week field exercise, focuses on sharpening basic soldiering skills in austere conditions, the 445th MDVS also trained on their mission set of safeguarding food supplies, supporting military working dogs, and ensuring animal health and assisting at the base vet treatment facility.
