Regiments and Battalions of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, present arms during a change of command ceremony May 25 at Fort Riley.
The U.S. Army announced Friday that Fort Riley soldiers will deploy to Europe this fall.
The 1st Infantry Division’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team will replace the 3rd ABCT, 4th Infantry Division, as part of a regular rotation of forces to support the United States’ commitment to NATO allies and partners and deter fut. The deployment is part of Atlantic Resolve. The purpose is to build readiness, increase interoperability and enhance relationships with partner militaries throughout Europe, according to the Army.
“I’m incredibly proud of the Dagger Brigade, and our soldiers are excited to train and build interoperability with our NATO allies and partners,” said Col. Bryan Harris, commander of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. “The 1st Infantry Division has a tremendous history in Europe, and the Dagger Brigade is ready to continue that legacy,” he said.
The unit deploying includes about 4,000 soldiers, in a series of flights in the next 90 days. Army officials said they can’t give exact dates for security reasons.
