#WinningMatters

It is our sacred duty to ensure each of our Soldiers have the training, confidence, and tools necessary to fight and win our nation’s wars if we are called upon.

OPERATION STEEL CRUCIBLE is a comprehensive, complex 2-week BN exercise comprised of key day and night live fires and other joint training events. @3_7_fieldartillery is conducting this operation with numerous partners to further enhance our preparedness to execute a range of missions in various joint, multi-domain battlefield conditions.

In today’s complex global operating environment, the need for our Army to maintain a mission-ready force remains of the utmost importance. We stand ready to apply tremendous force at any time to deter potential adversaries or rapidly defeat them if called upon.
