🧭 Future Leaders in Motion | OCS Preparation Underway 🪖

Officer Candidates from Region B — DEARNG, MDARNG, and DCARNG — recently converged at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in Elkton, Maryland, for a demanding and purpose-driven training weekend.

Over two days, these future leaders:
✔️ Sharpened their tactical proficiency through intensive land navigation
✔️ Pushed their endurance during a challenging 6-mile ruck march

This joint training event plays a vital role in building confidence, resilience, and readiness as they prepare to take on the next milestone — OCS Phase 1 kicking off next month.

The foundation is being set. The standard is high. The journey is just beginning.
