“The Army has a lot of good
things to offer. I haven’t made
up my mind whether I’ll make a
career out of the Army yet I’ll
have to wait until I get a little
closer to my ETS in 1978 before
I decide.”
The 6th Cav. Bde. (Air Combat) expanded
their area of operations to Colorado recently.
Elements of A Trp. 7th Sqdn. 17th Cav. 6th
Cav. Bde. departed on a Saturday morning and
returned the following Thursday night.
Their mission was to participate in field
training exercises at Ft. Carson with
mechanized infantry units of the 4th Inf. Div.
The Operations Officer of A Trp. CPT William
H. Barnhorst described the trip as “a mutual
training mission.”
With five OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopters
eight AH-1G Cobra gunships and two UH-1H
Iroquois helicopters the brigade represen-
tatives demonstrated in a tactical environ-
ment their ability to seek find and attack
mechanized forces.
The Ft. Carson soldiers were continually sur-
prised at the ability of the helicopters to get
within effective range of their track vehicles
undetected.

“The opportunities are un-
believeable in the Army. My
wife and daughter now have a
secure future. I can’t see why a
lot of enlisted men are so down
on the Army. I have a brother-
in-law who’s making a career of
the Army and I think I will
too.”

For the Ft. Hood troopers it was a challenge
in many ways. It was a totally new environment
with the high mountains deep valleys and
dense wooded areas. Captain Barnhorst ex-
plained “We were out there in unfamiliar ter-
rain working with an unfamiliar unit and hunt-
ing for an unfamiliar mythical enemy that’s
training at its best.” He continued “It was also
an excellent training mission for the soldiers in
the 4th Div. They got to learn first hand about
our tactics how we operate and what part we
play in the combined arms team.”

“I’ve only been in a year and
don’t think that’s long enough to
decide yet. I’ll maybe know
sometime during my second
year in. I like my work here if I
could keep on doing what I’m
doing now maybe I would
make a career out of the
Army.”
Immediately upon arrival at Ft. Carson a
liaison officer was attached to the exercise con-
trol group. He advised the commanders on the
employment of the cav unit and coordinated
the missions.
The scenario called for the 6th Cav. to work
with one unit against another the first day the
following day they switched sides giving each
the opportunity of operating with and against a
