Our Soldiers continue to treat the Afghan people with the greatest compassion, humanity, and dignity while supporting the Non-combatant Evacuation mission in Afghanistan

change of responsibility was today, I retired jump boots and maroon beret. 6 no-notice deployments in 40 months with some of the most talented Paratroopers and Soldiers in the Army. Time for some leave!

Off the net the last 48 hours building our highly trained, disciplined and fit PLATOON - 40Km later through swamps and using pack mules, watercraft and air - ready to FIGHT & WIN tonight!

Excellent news for Soldiers receiving CNAs for off-post housing impacted by barracks moves. They will receive a partial dislocation living allowance and up to 3 months of advanced BAH to cover their deposit and first month’s rent!

In awe of our Sky Dragon Soldiers.
This was an incredibly tough, pressurized mission filled with multiple complexities, with active threats the entire time. Our troops displayed grit, discipline and empathy.
Below is a picture of the last Soldier to leave Afghanistan.
In a ceremony at Fort Liberty, N.C., Command Sgt. Todd Sims relinquished his responsibilities as the command sergeant major for U.S. Army Forces Command to Command Sgt. Maj. TJ Holland, Sept. 8, 2023.

Ranger School is the Army's premiere course for small unit tactics and leadership. Students push themselves for 62 grueling days and return to their units stronger, tougher, and better. Help us congratulate these Screaming Eagles, who returned with this honor last night!
Selfless service, sacrifice, honor and love of country. I proudly served in Afghanistan along with so many heroes, thank you to all of our Veterans and Soldiers for Life!
Lots of speculation...time for answers.
It's about a month until implementation, but you owe it to your Soldiers to tune in and get the rundown the changes in a FB Live event. All of these will be universally accepted and not controversial at all...
Callahan Physical Fitness Center is looking good

Hey

Today every Soldier will move to a new facility. It’s our responsibility to CARE for our Soldiers and our facilities. DPW will fix the issue and our Soldiers will return to a safe environment. In the meantime, take care of your new barrack!

Congrats PFC Curtis Jacobe
@18th_FA_BDE
for earning the Expert Soldier Badge (ESB) during our E3B event. All three EXPERT badges on one site, reducing resources and time, and the responsibility to train and prepare on the Squad Leader!
@16thSMA
@FORSCOM
@18airbornecorps
The E3B has made it less resource-intensive to test the EIB, ESB, and EFMB. This gives Soldiers more opportunities to train and prove themselves as experts.
One of the biggest wins of the last 3 years for our Army.
Had a flashback during Sustained Airborne Training with 1/508 this afternoon. Spent 8 years in this battalion as a young NCO and now I get to jump with them again!
UPDATE: Corporal Harris has been found deceased, and the investigation is on-going.
"We are grateful to everyone who shared his picture or said a prayer for his safe return... keep his Family in your thoughts and prayers, as we will," said Brig. Gen. Brett Funck
@18airbornecorps
is combining all three Expert Badges (E3B) on the same training site while increase the frequency of testing to provide more opportunities for Candidates to earn their respective EXPERT Badge.
What if there was an installation fitness trail that linked East Bragg, Smoke Bomb Hill, 82nd ABN, Pope AAF and 18ABC? What if I told you the plan was in the works?
