The Montana Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 163rd Infantry Regiment (Combined Arms Battalion), 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, performs a Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise (CALFEX) at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California during its annual training. The exercise incorporated M1A2 Abrams tanks, AH-64D Apache Helicopters, M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) for breaching operations and M2A2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles with dismounted infantry for urban assault. These exercises were the build-up to force-on-force battlefield maneuvers that will conclude years of preparation and 12 days of field operations in the area known as “The Box”.
