946th Transportation Company fine-tunes their craft ahead of overseas mission
While their training encompasses a variety of topics to prepare them for their mission, much attention has focused on the craft that is part of their unit name: Transportation.
Soldiers of the 946th have been getting some much-needed wheel time in their trucks in a variety of scenarios on the many roadways and training areas the JBMDL has to offer.
“The Soldiers have performed exceptionally well,” said Capt. Jonathan Rhodes, 946th TC Company Commander. “They have remained motivated, flexible, and committed despite long days, changing requirements, and the demands of preparing for deployment,” said Rhodes.
Moving large pieces of equipment is nothing new for most within the 946th; however, when conducting operations overseas, host-nation laws and regulations matter. Preparing the group for the mission requires substantial training and repetition.
“One of our primary lessons is that readiness is not achieved during a single event—it is built and maintained every day,” Rhodes said. “Communication, rehearsals, preventive maintenance, disciplined execution, and engaged leadership remain essential at every level.”
Training has included challenging scenarios in which drivers had to navigate tight spaces in rugged, rural areas while maintaining the safety of their equipment, crew, and mission. The 946th continues to build the muscle memory that will help them move forward and execute their mission.
“The training also reinforced the importance of creating realistic conditions. When Soldiers are challenged with scenarios that closely resemble what they could face overseas, they become more confident, capable, and prepared to respond when conditions change,” said Rhodes.
Rhodes closed out the conversation with a final thought:
“No single Soldier, crew, or section accomplishes the mission alone. It takes an entire team working together as one machine to keep the logistical heartbeat moving. That is why our standard remains: One Team, One Machine.”
