FORT GREELY, Alaska — The 100th Missile Defense Brigade and the 49th Missile Defense Battalion conducted their most comprehensive and thorough external evaluation to date at Fort Greely Aug. 20-24.
Guardian Watch 18, a variation of a biannual event, was an 84-hour exercise that tested the battalion on 28 tasks and many performance measures within its two missions: defending the United States and designated areas from intercontinental ballistic missile attack and critical site security of the Missile Defense Complex at Fort Greely.
“It makes me proud to see their success,” said 1st Lt. Jarrod Cuthbertson, missile defense operations research and development, 100th Missile Defense Brigade. “I was honored to be a part of the planning and execution of this evaluation so I could see the amount of training and dedication all the Soldiers have put into accomplishing this mission.”
