Montana National Guard

I imagine there's a lot of folks who were camping or stranded by floodwaters in the Red Lodge, Montana area the past few days who will never forget the sound of a Chinook helicopter.

Major General Pete Hronek is the Adjutant General of the Montana National Guard. He recently visited troops from several Montana units currently deployed in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

From additional armor capability in Syria, to live fire training exercises in Kuwait. Here's what Montana Guard soldiers are up to on their current deployment.

In case you didn't know, today is "the day of the deployed." It's a day in honor of all of the troops who are currently deployed all over the world. Yes, despite the withdrawal from Afghanistan, we still have thousands of troops deployed all over the world who are serving in a variety of capacities.

Those who answered the call to serve obviously felt a calling to serve our country. But I also think those same veterans want to make sure that those patriotic values are instilled in the next generation.

Montana is for badasses. You've seen the memes (they're accurate). Well, this guy beat the other badasses in Montana to win the Best Warrior competition in the Montana Army National Guard, and now he's crushing it in the national Best Warrior competition taking on the best of the best from elsewhere in the country.
