So today we found out for our upcoming deployments where we will be heading and what our takings should be. My name is under ECP-Tower. Which I know is entry control point/guard tower but can anyone tell me what that entails? Anyone been a 68W and deployed with this tasking?

Guarding the gate (Entry Control Point) and/or sitting in a tower watching for the Mongolian horde trying to breach the wire.

Damn Atropians will probably be around too

Not to be too negative, but don’t get too married to the idea you’re exclusively Assigned - the roster often says one thing but you get assigned to do something else.

You as a medic will generally not be manning the ECP - you’re a medical resource they can’t easily replace. However, medics often can be assigned to the QRF element in case there is an incident that requires a medic.

As a company commander I had guys sitting in towers who had over a year long AIT to repair electronics. Huge waste of their talents.
