Senior leaders with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st

Senior leaders with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) on Fort Campbell, Ky., conduct combat water survival training during a three-day training event called Bushido starting at Fort Campbell to Camp Rudder, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., 26-29 August.
Leaders carry out the incoming brigade commander’s intent to build unit cohesion, esprit de corps, and improve overall unit readiness in support of contingency operations.
Multiple teams execute a patrol-based, team building, tactical leader course designed to increase tactical proficiency, and increase unit lethality and readiness.
“This event, for me, was extremely professionally rewarding,” said Capt. Zachary Peterson, commander of A. Battery, 3rd Battalion – 320th Field Artillery Regiment. “It was rewarding because it was physically and mentally challenging, it also allowed us [leaders] to do what we’re supposed to do as Soldiers, which is master the basic Soldier fundamentals and we got to do that at the tactical level.” (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
