This construct will be replaced by the Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM), which is meant to increase predictability, enable modernization, and help the Army win in global conflicts.

The most involved evolution for Boatswain’s Mates is sea and anchor. Like other littoral combat and legacy ships, Boatswain’s Mates run the sea and anchor “show” on the forecastle and fantail.

It is the first museum to tell the entire story of the Army, which has existed since June 14, 1775 ... even before the existence of the United States itself.

Fifty years later, he shared his combat experience with Minnesota National Guard members of the Sniper Platoon, 2nd Combined Arms Battalion – 136th Infantry Regiment on Camp Ripley.

By deploying these sensors, Marines were able to capture critical information about features that increase battlespace awareness.
