The 185th ESC has wrapped up another successful Annual Training. The Brewer Range and Shoot House Projects are both 100% complete, and look great! Soldiers from the 185th Engineer Support Company and the New Hampshire Detachment went over and above in completing the project, and we are very proud of the finished product. A special thanks to Mr. Jason Moffitt and his team for their incredible partnership. We are honored to have contributed to a project that will support the town of Brewer, ME and all of the law enforcement officers who will be able to use the range. County Thunder!
The 185th ESC has completed the earthwork portion of the Brewer Range. The vertical build of the shoot house interior walls have been completely constructed with a strong push from the New Hampshire detachment and support from the main body to finish up the last of the block laying. The NH detachment will pour the grout on the 12th for the interior walls bringing the project to 100% completion. We are extremely proud of the hard work and long hours that were put in by our Soldiers to accomplish the mission. We are excited and honored to be able to provide these range improvements to our local, state, and federal Law Enforcement Officers.
The dirt has been moving and the block has been climbing! The 185 ESC has made vast improvements and progress on the Brewer Police Department Range. The New Hampshire detachment has completed exterior walls on the vertical build of the tactical entry training building and is beginning work on the interior walls.
185 ESC Maintenance Section along with NH Detachment maintenance Soldiers have been very busy this AT completing 10 work orders totaling over 175 man hours, multiple recovery missions, while also finding the time to conduct roll over training in Auburn utilizing the M984A4 Wrecker.
The “County Thunder'' is off to a great start for this year’s Annual Training! The 185th Engineer Support Company, out of Presque Isle, ME, has joined up with their Detachment from New Hampshire to work on expanding and adding to the Brewer Police Department Range. This project is the first time the company has conducted consolidated training together since the divestiture of the Houlton Armory in 2021. From first formation, to the job site, Soldiers have displayed exceptional Unit cohesion and motivation. Soldiers from the New Hampshire Detachment have gotten significant time training on Engineer equipment, while the vertical platoon of New Hampshire also constructs a 20x30’ tactical entry training building. County Thunder!
