Our Mission:
Task Force Diamondback (in accordance with Innovative Readiness Training program directives) plans, coordinates and facilitates real-world mobility, counter-mobility and general engineering training deployments in a simulated host nation environment for Active and Reserve Component units to aid in support of United States Border Patrol located in the Tucson and Yuma sectors of Arizona.

Arizona’s Innovative Readiness Training is designed to:

    - Technically challenge engineer company leadership and operations section

    - Enhance individual soldier technical and tactical skills

    - Increase the security and safety of the United States by contributing to the US/Mexico Border Mission.


Project Objectives & Goals:
The objective is quality training over production quantity. The goal is to provide a premiere hands-on real-world training environment while providing service to the nation. The scope of our training includes:

    -     Mobility
     -    Counter-mobility
     -    General Engineering
     -    Maintenance
     -    Mission Support (safety, environment, etc.)

Selected units deploy to Arizona for training. TFD offers the opportunity to train in mess operations, field medical operations, and other unit level activities while constructing roads, barriers, lighting and drainage structures along the United States/Mexico border. Units may also exercise their mobilization plans including deployment and redeployment and will be exposed to joint service and simulated host-nation environments.  This operation not only enhances combat readiness, but it develops leaders at all levels of risk management, safety, and the overall supervision and management of a unit’s mission while deployed.  Deployment dates are based upon project construction sequence. Missions are based upon deploying unit commander’s training requirements and unit METL. All requirements are coordinated through Arizona Innovative Readiness Training Task Force Diamondback (AZIRT TFD).
