The patrols that were created by First Army OC/T’s were designed to mirror real life situations that the 2nd Bn., 162nd Inf Regt. will come across during their time in Kosovo as part of the Kosovo Force mission. First Army has been partnered with the 2nd Bn., 162nd Inf. Regt. since for more than a year. This partnership is put in place to ensure these National Guard Soldiers are prepared for any challenges they may face during a deployment. (Sgt.
