SEOUL (March 10, 2011) -- A combined arms task force continues live-fire exercises all week as a part of the Foal Eagle '11 joint exercise between U.S. and Republic of Korea forces.

Equipment used by the 192 task force Soldiers was issued by Army Field Support Battalion-Northeast Asia, a subordinate unit of the Army Sustainment Command's 403rd Army Field Support Brigade. The exercise provided AFSBn-NEA the opportunity to rehearse issuing equipment and validating the readiness of Army Prepositioned Stocks-4 inventory.

All equipment was issued last week and transported by rail to Camp Casey and Rodriguez Range for the live-fire exercise. AFSBn-NEA issued more than 90 track and wheeled vehicles, 80 weapons, 62 radio sets and more than 500 pieces of general supplies including generators, light sets, heaters, tents and cots.

Units participating in the exercise include 2nd Battalion, 146th Field Artillery Regiment and the 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment.

The units are scheduled to redeploy south from Camp Casey to Camp Carroll beginning March 14, culminating with equipment turn-in back to AFSBn-NEA on March 15-16.
