JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. -- A Stryker Brigade Combat Team from Joint Base Lewis-McChord will conduct company-level, combined arms live-fire training exercises here from July 13 through July 28.

The live-fire exercises, taking place in training areas south of the JBLM Main cantonment area, will occur daily, during day and nighttime hours.

During the live-fire exercises, companies or troops of about 120 Soldiers, will engage a simulated enemy with combined weapons -- to include rifles, machine guns, mortars, artillery, helicopter-fired weapons, demolitions and more.

There are more than 10 infantry companies or cavalry troops in a Stryker brigade, and each unit must complete this training prior to the Stryker brigade's upcoming deployment to the National Training Center in California.
