FORT LEE, Va. (June 24, 2019) -- Pvt. T'Shawn Dennis, Whiskey Company, 244th Quartermaster Battalion, 23rd QM Brigade, fires at opposing forces after his platoon was ambushed during the brigade's culmination field training exercise June 13 at Training Area 33. TA 33 adjoins TA 23 but is separated from it by A Avenue. It is one of several former greenspaces that was added to existing training areas in an effort to provide the brigade with additional spaces to conduct a more robust field training exercise.
