Army 251. Flag Day. Desert Forge.

This week was a powerful reminder of what service means.

From celebrating the Army’s 251st Birthday and Flag Day in Hawthorne, to recognizing outstanding leaders, to visiting Soldiers training across Nevada during Desert Forge 26, one thing stood out above all else- our Soldiers continue to answer the call with professionalism, discipline, and pride.

Whether operating communications systems in austere environments, building readiness in the field, or preparing to respond whenever Nevada and our nation need them, these men and women are carrying forward a legacy that stretches back 251 years.

Thank you to the Soldiers, leaders, civilians, veterans, and community partners who make readiness possible every day.

What we do matters.

Battle Born. Battle Tested. Battle Ready.

Desert Forge 26 | 609th CEC-I

Spent the day in the field with the Soldiers of the 609th CEC-I during Desert Forge 26. From rehearsals and tactical movement through challenging terrain to leader engagement and shared meals in the field, these Soldiers demonstrated the professionalism, adaptability, and teamwork required to operate in complex environments.

Readiness is built one repetition at a time. Training like this strengthens our ability to communicate, move, sustain, and accomplish the mission when Nevada and the Nation call.

What We Do Matters.

Army cooks don’t just serve meals- they generate combat power. Every mission, every movement, every live-fire event depends on Soldiers being fed, fueled, and ready to fight.

Proud to spend time with these outstanding culinary specialists during Desert Forge 26. Their work may happen behind the scenes, but their impact is felt across the battlefield. Readiness starts with sustainment, and sustainment starts with Soldiers like these.

Warfighting in Action-

Soldiers from 1-221 CAV successfully completed daytime squad live-fire operations. Through disciplined communication, detailed rehearsals, and aggressive ex*****on, these Soldiers demonstrated the fundamentals of infantry warfighting.

Success on the battlefield is built long before first contact. Repetitive training, clear communication, and violence of action create confident teams capable of closing with and defeating any adversary.
