Matthew Gunther November 20, 2023 at 11:23AM COLONIE FIRE TRAINING CENTER, Latham, NY – Ten Soldiers from the 10th Mountain Divisions Dismounted Chemical Reconnaissance Team refined their skills alongside 16 Airmen and Soldiers from the New York National Guard’s 2nd Civil Support Team during an exercise held in the Albany, New York suburb of Colonie from Nov. 14 to 16. The event, held at the Colonie Fire Training Center, presented the Active Army Soldiers with the challenges involving a real world chemical, biological, radioactive, or nuclear (CBRN) situation. The climax of the training involved locating and sampling a stockpile of materials in the basement of a house located at the training center, typically used by local firefighters to hone their skills.
