FORT POLK, La. - Kentucky Army National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Staunton-based 116th Mobile Brigade Combat Team conduct air movement operations with the New Jersey National Guard’s 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 150th Aviation Regiment, and the Georgia National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment June 10, 2026, at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The 116th is the first Army National Guard brigade to participate in a JRTC rotation as a mobile brigade combat team after formally making the transformation from an infantry brigade combat team in 2025. JRTC provides U.S. military units and personnel with complex and realistic combat training, including joint and combined-arms operations, force-on-force scenarios and live-fire exercises.
