Friends & Families of Easy Company.

As stated in the previous post, this is the follow up post for the graduation ceremony that will be held on 11 DEC 25 (the day after turning blue). Graduation is meant to recognize your soldiers for having completed the OSUT course in its entirety and is considered the final day of their training before moving on to their follow on unit of assignment. That all said, up front I want to ensure their is no confusion, please be aware that the LOCATION of the graduation ceremony will be held at the NIM (National Infantry Museum) parade field known as Inouye Field. The NIM is open to the public and does not require base access (i.e. you don't have to go through a gate with a pass) to get to the parade field. The address will be provided below, but if you type "National Infantry Museum" into maps/google it will take you directly to the parking lot where you will need to park.

The 3-54 Cadre has absolutely dominated this week with their successes.

We began the week with the 197th Battle of the Battalions. Our team participated in multiple physical fitness events consisting of 250-pound sled drag, 3 mile litter carry, farmers-carry, sprints, burpees, and chin-ups. They also were required to complete three weapon stations that covered various rifleman skills. The team ran a route that stretched across the 197th Brigade territory and ultimately led us to a victory.

A re-enlistment ceremony was conducted for SSG Morgan who resides with our Atlas Company. We thank him for his continued dedication and service to himself, his family, and the Battalion.

We wrapped up the week with some Battalion fun by hosting a Turkey Bowl where all companies participated in ultimate football. Companies competed in teams of 7, where the winner was HQ! We had some friendly competition that was concluded with coffee and doughnuts.

This week our companies have been hard at work mastering various soldier tasks.

Atlas Company, 3-54 Infantry Battalion, 197th IN BDE completed their Forge this week that led to their Turning Green. The Forge is a four-day event that finishes with a 10-mile foot march. The Turning Green is an important milestone in this journey that marks the transition from a Trainee to a Soldier. We thank all family and friends that traveled to help celebrate their new Soldiers.

Dog Company, 3-54 IN spent their week at the M4 range, honing the marksmanship skills required to graduate. These skills lay the foundation for basic soldering skills that they will continue to use in their careers.

Easy Company, 3-54 IN completed land navigation and practiced basic infantryman skills. They were tested on both topics and can be seen practicing their infantry skills prior to testing.
