The Army recently put its first armor brigade through a combat training center rotation under its new Transformation in Contact<\/a> initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division launched Exercise Combined Resolve this past week in Hohenfels, Germany, at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brigade is the first armored unit to conduct the new Transformation in Contact modernization effort. The initiative seeks to deliver new equipment to operational units as they prepare for major training events and deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to gain feedback and make adjustments to deployment needs while continuing the regular readiness preparation that operational units undergo for standard deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
