Lanza and Padgett spend at day at Yakima Training Center, Wash., observing the performance of platoons in IED lane training, April 15. "It's outstanding, if you go out and watch their training, you've got a brand new second lieutenant out here, this is his first field problem, he's executing mission command, he's building his team, and he's learning critical tasks that you have to use in Afghanistan. This is a perfect opportunity to not only train teams and platoons, but to get them ready for some of the arduous things they will do when they go to Afghanistan. I'm very excited and I'm very proud of what they are doing. It's great to see them training in this environment," said Lanza. 7ID CG observes 'Rugged' engineer training 130415-A-NE853-691
