(ChurchLeaders) Seven soldiers with the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division were baptized Sunday, Aug. 29, at the National Training Center (NTC) in Fort Irwin, Calif.—despite there being no chapel or “proper” baptismal at hand.
“Chaplains from across our brigade made it happen yesterday when seven of our Soldiers wanted to be baptized,” said the division in a post on its Facebook page. “With no chapel or equipment to facilitate, our chaplains came together and created a makeshift tub at the National Training Center/Fort Irwin and got the job done. A fine example of Lancers being experts at their chosen field craft!”
