Are the Pre-Deployment Training preparing our men and women for combat? We go over each branch's pre-deployment training, that is public record, and our own experience from our time in the US Army.

During COVID, it greatly impeded on the training and readiness of our Armed Forces. As we can see, national and international events impact military readiness, positively or negatively. For the ones that are negative, how do we reduce its impact on our readiness?
