Last Thursday through Sunday, Bay State Battalion conducted a Combined Field Training Exercise (CFTX), a crucial training event preparing the MS3s for CST26.

Last weekend, all MS4s participated in a battlefield staff ride at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, where they learned about the Battle of Gettysburg and leadership lessons as future officers. Walking the ground where history was made, it was indeed a great experience for the entire group.
