Military Police Conduct Close Combat Exercise In California - Scanning a nearby building for enemy activity,
First Sergeant David Brockett, an eighth-grade history teacher and 22-year Army veteran from Delaware, Ohio,
provides cover for other squads moving through the mock village of Cedal. Brockett's primary role during the cordon
and search exercise was casualty collection and enemy prisoner of war detainment. The cordon and search was part of
Combat Training Exercise 91 13-01, which is planned and coordinated by the 91st Training Division (Operations) at Fort
Hunter-Liggett, California. The exercise gives participating units an opportunity to rehearse military maneuvers and
tactics such as base security, convoy operations and battle reaction drills during simulated enemy attacks as well as
apply their military occupational specialty skills in a theater of operations. The exercise provides realistic training to
units to successfully meet the challenges of an extended and integrated battlefield.
