The 3rd Brigade of The Texas State Guard (State Defense Force) spent their October Training weekend focusing on a multitude of training. From refresher courses in CPR, Land Navigation, ETN Awareness to an exercise in Search & Rescue, the troops had a fully packed weekend.
The 3rd Battalion spent their time re-certifying in CPR, ETN Awareness (Emergency Tracking Network) which is used during citizen evacuations during natural disasters, as well as going over the fundamentals of Search & Rescue tactics. While the 3rd Battalion was going over these skill sets, the 2nd Battalion put those fundamentals into use,  spending their weekend out in the field focusing on a variety of Land Navigation & Search & Rescue exercises.
During the month of October 3rd BN of the Laredo area had their monthly drill where they trained in ETN Awareness, CPR training , land navigation, search and rescue and had awards given.
