What would daily duties be like for an 88M at Ft. Irwin? Does Ft. Irwin have any small units with which you can volunteer to deploy?

I am originally from San Bernardino County, so I am aware of the surrounding. But, i wanted to know what daily duties would be for 88m in FT. Irwin.
Also, FT. Irwin is not a rapid deployment unit but do they have small units that you can volunteer to deploy with?

You’ll be assigned to either the 11th ACR, 916th Support Brigade or the Operations Group. You’ll be busy every month when units go out in “the Box” for rotations.

The only deployment would be if 11th ACR hits the patch chart or there is WIAS tasker for an 88M2 or an Mos immaterial NCO

I actually loved it when i was there. If you go to 11th ACR you will have your schedule planned out 3 years in advance.

Fort Irwin national training center is in the middle of nowhere for the most part. All around a terrible place to be stationed. I was out there for 3 weeks for annual training and the entire time was miserable. As far as duties out there as an 88m most of the time those stationed out there really didn’t have a whole lot to do unless it was during times when other units/ battalions were not out there to train
