WELCOME WEDNESDAY: This week the spotlight is on SPC Courtney Ireland from the S1 section. This AT was SPC Ireland's first time working with the Battalion S1 since she is normally attached to Alpha Company for drill.
Originally from Connecticut, Ireland completed an interstate transfer to the Vermont National Guard in December of 2016. She currently lives in NH and works at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She almost done with her Bachelor's Degree.
During AT 2017, she took opportunities to train on tasks outside of her MOS of 42A, the highlight being the M320 range where she qualified on her first attempt. She was presented a coin from the Battalion Commander and Command Sergeant Major for her outstanding performance of duties. HHC is fortunate to have SPC Ireland on the team!

Today we had some very special visitors from the Northeast Primary School in Rutland, VT. They were so kind to deliver a care package for our Soldiers in HHC. Lots of candy and homemade gift bags. We are so fortunate to have a great community here and the Soldiers in this photo now have to do extra PT to work off all of that chocolate! The kids all walked away with an 86th IBCT patch!

Had the pleasure of joining our Rutland National Guard retirees. It was great to exchange stories on the past, present and future of HHC. This is a monthly breakfast, which is proof of the strong bonds we build in HHC.

Great drill weekend for Hydra Company! Soldiers of HHC established an assembly area, conducted chemical recons, refreshed their MEDEVAC skills, practiced close quarter combat tactics, exercised their cold weather survival skills and set up a retransmission site. All while coordinating operations and sustainment for the battalion.
