3647th providing key support to NJ National Guard

The Virginia National Guard is supporting more than 2,500 Soldiers assigned to the New Jersey Army National Guard’s 44th Infantry Brigade Combat Team during their three-week long eXportable Combat Training Capability exercise.

Since arriving at Fort Drum July 10, 2022, the Blackstone-based 3647th Maintenance Company, 529th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 329th Regional Support Group has been providing wheeled-vehicle recovery and maintenance support as well as more specialized trade support such as generator, armament and HVAC maintenance to the 44th IBCT.

Working with the NJNG is mutually beneficial, according to Capt. Alec Hulbert, the 3647th company commander.

“So far, the experience working with the New Jersey National Guard has been good,” said Hulbert. “They’ve been coordinating and planning for this exercise for a long time, and they’ve kept us well-informed throughout the process. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with other National Guard units from other states. Any chance for our Soldiers to learn from their peers and put their skills to work is a win for us.”
