Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Portsmouth-based 2nd Squadron, 183rd Cavalry Regiment, 116th Infantry Combat Team conduct driver training Nov. 2, 2019, at the Ault Wheeled Vehicle Obstacle Course at Fort Pickett, Virginia. The course consists of nine obstacles over a two-mile course through the woods of Fort Pickett, and it is one of only three in the entire Army. Noncommissioned officers provided instruction for how to best navigate each obstacle before Soldiers got behind the wheel. The course is named for Staff Sgt. Jesse A. Ault, a Virginia National Guard Soldier killed in action April 9, 2008, in Baghdad, Iraq, from wounds suffered when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device while assigned to the 429th Brigade Support Battalion.
