Fort Irwin, California - Soldiers with the Mississippi Army National Guard's 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team run for cover while engaging opposing forces during a rotation at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California, May 30, 2017. The brigade's NTC rotation was one element of Army National Guard 4.0,, an initiative that marks a major evolution in the way Army Guard units train. Under the new training plan, a multi-year training cycle is used that builds on collective unit tasks to maintain high readiness and prepare units to deploy quickly in response to contingency operations. Members of Army Guard brigade combat teams can expect to see additional training days and requirements as part of the new model, which calls for a large-scale training rotation to Fort Irwin or the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, in the fourth year of the training cycle.
