Soldiers with the 39th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team “Strike,” 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), tested equipment designed and created at EagleWerx during Operation Lethal Eagle III (OLE III), a three-week, division-wide training exercise at Fort Campbell, Ky., Aug. 14, 2023. Inventions from EagleWerx, such as the explosive excavation device, can save Soldiers vital time on the battlefield. These devices have the potential to decrease the time needed to dig fighting positions by hours.
Operation Lethal Eagle III is a pre-planned training exercise to build Soldier and unit lethality within the world's premier air assault division. The exercise is a 21-day training event in dispersed locations across Tennessee and Kentucky designed to build and sustain readiness across multiple warfighting functions.
