The XCTC exercise, managed and coordinated by First Army and the National Guard Bureau, has over 4,000 Citizen-Soldiers from North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Minnesota, and 95 Soldiers from the Moldovan Army participating in multiple training scenarios (live fires and tactical lanes). All will hone their combat skills of ‘Shoot, Move, Communicate, and Sustain.’
