The commander of 434th Field Artillery Brigade felt it was necessary to bring pugil training back to Basic Combat. Col. Daniel Blackmon challenged his battalions with figuring out the safest way to do so and the Proud American Battalion, (1st Battalion, 31st Field Artillery) was the first to return it to the program of instruction. It is now in Week 8 of BCT, when the threat of COVID-19 is very low in the ranks. The trainees wear a mask until it is time to bout, use sanitized equipment, and wear proper safety gear during the event.
