The Idaho National Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team participated in this year’s Warfighter exercise in Camp Atterbury, Ind., this month alongside Texas Army National Guard members from the 36th Infantry Division. 
Warfighter is an annual division-level computer simulated exercise designed to refine and hone command and control of division assets against a realistic training scenario using the Army’s Command Post Computing Environment. The CPCE is a sophisticated digital system that allows commanders to direct simulated troops, track battlefield movements, and coordinate complex maneuvers, casualty evacuations and even unit ammunition deliveries in real time.
116th CBCT’s executive officer Maj. Jared McKie said the exercise facilitates integration of staff sections toward a common mission under the demands of sustained combat operations.
“When you bring everybody together for a big exercise like Warfighter, you get to run through those (Military Decision Making Process) reps that you’ve done throughout the year, but on an accelerated timeline, and that higher headquarters element is there with you,” said McKie. “It really enhances the MDMP process.” 
McKie said the 116th CBCT staff’s performance was the result of a building block approach to training and that their dedication to the mission was evident during the exercise.
“They are a great staff,” he said. “They put in over a year of planning and preparation, participated in command post exercises and staff exercises getting ready for this, and it paid off. I was really impressed.”
