IO FST MRX Description The 1st IO Command’s IO Field Support Team (FST) Mission Readiness Exercise (MRX) is a Culminating Training Event (CTE) for deploying IO FSTs of four or more personnel. The IO FST MRXs are 19 days in duration and include a variety of HQDA-mandated training for the team, in addition to the actual training exercise. The IO FST MRXs are conducted at the 1st IO CMD facilities in vicinity of Fort Belvoir, Virginia in conjunction with an IO FST’s Mobilization Station training or just prior to the IO FST’s Continental United States Replacement Center (CRC) training. Each IO FST MRX replicates the IO FST’s upcoming mission and supported unit(s) to provide realistic collective training that prepares the IO FST for its mission. An IO FST MRX also serves as an IO FST external evaluation that provides key leaders with objective feedback on the IO FST’s level of task proficiency and mission readiness. For 1st IO CMD IO FST MRX support, contact the 1st IO BN’s Training Support Detachment Chief at: scott.b.hillmer.civ@army.mil. via NIPR email. |
