    Fort Indiantown Gap Hosts Warfighter Exercise

    From Jan. 27 to Feb. 6, 2025, and despite several bouts of nasty winter weather, Fort Indiantown Gap (FTIG) hosted its first Warfighter Exercise (WFX-23-5), since 2023.

    The WFX’s provide realistic training to division level units utilizing state-of the-art computer simulations to prepare them for future mobilizations. Fort Indiantown Gap has been selected as the site for several WFX’s since the first one was held on the installation in the fall of 2016.

    During the exercise, FTIG saw a large influx of soldiers coming on to the post from New York’s 42nd Infantry Division (42ID), as well as from other states who performed various roles as members of the training audience. All told, more than 2,400 soldiers received training during the exercise.

    While the Mission Command Training Center (MCTC) at FTIG provided the facilities, support personnel and computer systems for the WFX training itself, several other organizations at FTIG ensured that the soldiers basic life support requirements (food, housing, fuel, etc.), were met through detailed planning, coordination, and execution.

    Organizations including the FTIG Training Center, 213th Regional Support Group (RSG), the Pennsylvania G4, USPFO for PA, the FTIG Community Club, as well as others, all worked in together to provide the training audience with the logistical support they required. This included the 1,500-1,800 daily breakfast and dinner meals served by the FTIG Community Club, as well as the 50 barracks buildings, and 275 Chargeable Transient Quarters (CTQ’s), which provided for the soldiers housing needs and was supplied by FTIG Billeting.
