FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- Just four months after the last Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (2/101 Air As-sault) returned home from an advise and assist mission in Iraq, the 2/101 “Strike” Brigade is gearing up for a new mission as they bring a light infantry perspective to integrating and evolving communications systems during the Army’s sig-nature operational network exercise.
Known as the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) and taking place at Fort Bliss, Texas, in July, the exercise is designed to help the Army keep pace with rapid advances in communications technologies and deliver integrated network and
mission command capabilities to support readi-ness.
This is the first time since the 2011 inception of the NIE series that a light infantry force will serve as lead test unit at the NIE.
During the almost two-week evaluation taking place across the harsh, mountainous desert ter-rain of Fort Bliss, the 2/101’s 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment (1-26) will employ a full range of military operations, including a platoon live-fire exercise and artillery air assault, as it pushes its network and communications equipment across vast distances and austere locations. At the same time it will face a free-thinking opposing force, or OPFOR, that will receive intelligence to help them disrupt operations through both tradi-tional and non-traditional means.
