Soldiers of the 498th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 501st Sustainment Brigade, bound forward from their firing position during training with South Korea’s 4th Battalion, 126th Infantry Regiment near Busan on Aug. 19, 2011. The units trained together during Combined Joint Chiefs of Staff exercise Ulchi Free- dom Guardian (UFG) 2011, in which the U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM) Forward Element Command (RFEC) Pacific’s Field Assistance in Science and Technology representatives also participated, a first for RDECOM. Participation in UFG extends RDECOM’s S&T community into oper- ational centers of the warfighting commanders, to benefit those training for engagement on the battlefield.
