Combat medic supports gun line readiness during annual training

Spc. Gavyn Edwards, a combat medic assigned to 1st Battalion, 206th Field Artillery Regiment, 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, checks on Soldiers along a field artillery gun line during annual training at Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center, Arkansas, June 5, 2026. Edwards checked on Soldiers’ hydration, nutrition and overall condition, and taught quick stretches to help prevent back injuries before crews continued fire missions.

The 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Arkansas Army National Guard, conducted annual training from May 30, 2026, to June 13, 2026, at Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center to build readiness, strengthen individual and collective proficiency, and prepare Soldiers for future state and federal missions. Annual training provides units the opportunity to validate combat skills, refine leader development and increase lethality across the brigade.
