The 4th Combat Aviation Brigade began its nine-month deployment to Europe in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve in June. The 4th CAB’s mission is part of an ongoing U.S. commitment to support the collective security of NATO Allies and U.S. Armed Forces in Europe. With helicopters buzzing in the background Col. W. Scott Gallaway, commander, 4th CAB, shared his impression of their first 45 days in Europe during a phone interview Aug. 17. “The 4th CAB has been here for about six weeks now,” said Gallaway. “We hit the ground running, and we’ve conducted multiple exercises across five different countries.” The 4th CAB replaced the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, from Fort Hood, Texas. The transition went smoothly, thanks to great planning and the 1st Cav. Div.’s ability to integrate the 4th CAB quickly into the ongoing mis- sion in Europe, according to Gallaway. “I was really proud of the team for Photo by Sgt.

Budd is a wounded warrior, who lost his left leg and his right leg was severely injured while serving on active duty. He began weight training after his injuries as part of his physical training regimen. He began lifting with a work friend and before long, he was in the gym more and more each day. “I am absolutely addicted to this type of training now,” Budd said. “Right now, I’m on a program where I work out four days a week, take a day off and then work out four days again.” One thing Budd realized early on is that he learned a lot about himself through his weight training journey. Budd really enjoys the one-on-one interaction between himself and the weights. “One thing I really like about lifting is the weights really don’t care about your ability or your disability,” Budd said. “It expects you to perform at a certain level, and I really like the fact that when I’m here it’s me and the weights.
