Ninety-five Iowa National Guard troops from the 3654th
Maintenance Co. in Knoxville are undergoing training as
part of an annual exercise in South Dakota. That's
according to Lieutenant Colonel Greg Hapgood with the Iowa
National Guard. He says the yearly Golden Coyote training
program will test the Knoxville troops on basic and
advanced solider skills, including land navigation and
combat operations, among others. Hapgood says the troops
are expected to complete their training in late June.
