WmWard-9.jpg1/19th FA Training AreaAll of our redleg red-shirts drove convoy-style to the Training. We got a first-hand look at modern-day Trainee barracks and living conditions as well as some rifle training and mingling with the Trainee themselves. All commented on how sharp these young men and women are in today's Army. We are justly proud of them.
