First Battle Group Outstanding Unit at Ft Bragg Camp
The First Battle Group of the 1st Infantry is judged the most outstanding unit at this year’s Ft Bragg camp by 29th Infantry Division evaluators. Company A leads overall ratings with peak weapon and rifle squad efficiency, superior kitchens and supply, and around the clock training. The 105 Recoilless Rifle Squads under Sgt Bridges and Sgt Lockard and the 11301 Mortar Section under Sfc Shankle fired live ammunition for Army Qualification tests. A Company smallbore Rifle Team again won the Governor of Maryland Trophy at the Division Review.
