The round-up consisted of officers and senior noncommissioned officers of the Thunder Horse Battalion and members of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians).
This was the second of two round-ups conducted for the Canadian Soldiers who trained in Fort Hood's Close Combat Tactical Trainer. It was the third multinational training experience Thunder Horse Soldiers have shared with NATO allies in the past 10 months.
"We quickly integrated ourselves and task organized Canadian tankers under the command of our mechanized infantry company while also sending platoons of mechanized infantry to be under the command of a Canadian tank company," said 1st Lt. Daniel Weitzel, the executive officer of Co. A. of the Thunder Horse Bn..
Having the opportunity to train with NATO allies is an experience for Thunder Horse Soldiers because it allows them to gain firsthand experience of their assets and capabilities.
"Working with the Canadians has been a great experience," said Pfc. Keoni Taum, with Co. B. "The complexity of working with foreign units is challenging, but interesting."
