I always wonder what it means for enlisted soldiers
In: Other
For everything except the combat arms fields, they’re doing the exact same thing they’d be doing during wartime. For a lot of the military, the job doesn’t change, just the location and relative chance of you being shot at. Mechanics are still working on vehicles, pilots are still flying their aircraft, intel weenies are still writing reports, etc. The combat arms fields do training. LOTs of training. They go “to the field” for a month at a time, or do a rotation through the National Training Center in the Mojave Desert or the Joint Readiness Training Center in Louisiana. Troops that otherwise would have been deployed get sent to leadership schools, or advanced schools for their jobs. Other troops take the opportunity to knock out a few college classes towards their degrees or certifications in their chosen fields.
