CNY patrollers participated as guest observers for the third year in a row at the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division

"D-Series" field exercise at Ft. Drum, Watertown, NY.

 

D-Series recalls a large scale training and evaluation exercise conducted at Camp Hale in Colorado to prepare troops for deployment in WWII, specifically the European theater in late 1944.
