The Big Picture: Missouri Guardsmen go on virtual patrol

National Guard troops from the 35th Engineer Brigade take a breather during simulated patrol and building clearance at Fort Leonard Wood in the Missouri Ozarks. Part of the Dismounted Soldier Training System, VR practice is employed to integrate new squad members into their units more quickly and as well as maintain combat readiness for the squad as a whole.
