Brunswick County offices to host military exercise
BOLIVIA, NC (StarNewsOnline.com) — Lessons from Brunswick County’s emergency management plan could soon be used in foreign countries.
Beginning Monday, Brunswick County’s offices will be the setting for a military exercise involving soldiers from the Fort Bragg-based 83rd Civil Affairs Battalion’s C Company. Since September 2012, soldiers from the Army battalion have deployed to Afghanistan, Jordan, Iran and Bahrain, according to a statement.
In a letter to county leadership, Maj. Shaun A. Reynolds, the company’s commander, wrote, “The unit requires realistic urban and rural areas where we can practice tactics, techniques and procedures that our soldiers will employ during overseas contingency operations within foreign countries. Brunswick County … offers an ideal setting for this training.”
