Doherty is stationed at northern Vermont’s Camp Ethan Allen Training Site, where 11,000 acres are home to the Army Mountain Warfare School, the 86th Mountain Infantry brigade combat team and a dedicated biathlon training course and rifle range, said Micah Nevard, director of the U.S. Army’s National Guard Biathlon program.
Doherty said he has trained there since he started the sport.
“As my career in the sport progressed, I realized the support and benefits of the National Guard would extend my career and provide resources and support independent of the national team, as well as support and opportunities after my athletic career ended,” he told The Associated Press.
