18-21 US Army Ordnance Crucible Combat Repair Team Observations Bulletin

This bulletin provides the Army’s operating force with recommendations based on a deliberate collection of tactical and technical observations gained during the 2017 Combat Repair Team of the Year Competition as part of the U.S. Army Ordnance Crucible. The 2017 U.S. Army Ordnance Crucible consisted of three major competitions: Ammunition Transfer and Holding Point, Combat Repair Team, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. The competitions were designed to test Soldiers’ teamwork and critical thinking skills as they applied technical solutions to real-world problems. The U.S. Army Ordnance Crucible allowed divisions to validate institutional training and their respective units’ skills.
