Sidewinder Mission:

The Sidewinder team is the National Training Center's training team for Brigade Special Troops Battalions (BSTBs) in the HBCT and IBCT. The Sidewinder team provides expert Observer Coach/Trainers (OC/Ts) to coach, mentor, train, and provide feedback to BSTBs in order to prepare them for full spectrum of combat operations. The team also trains the echelon above brigade enablers such as additional engineer and military police units as well as military working dog teams. On order, the Sidewinder team task organizes to provide OC/Ts to support Stryker Infantry Battalions and Engineer Battalions. The Sidewinder team also serves as the National Training Center's lead integrator for collective C-IED training.
