Champions,

As the cycle officially comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the Soldiers hard work, growth, and perseverance. They arrived as civilians, they trained as a team, and now they move forward as confident, disciplined Soldiers of the United States Army.

To the families and loved ones who stood behind them every step of the way — thank you for your unwavering support, patience, and encouragement. Your strength made a difference, and your Soldiers carried that support with them through every challenge and every milestone.

To the Cadre, Special Staff, and Drill Sergeants of the 2nd Battalion 13th Infantry Regiment- thank you for your tireless commitment, long hours, and professional excellence. Your sacrifices, mentorship, and relentless dedication to standards ensured the success of this cycle and shaped these Soldiers into the Champions they are today. The impact you make is immeasurable, and this battalion’s success is a direct reflection of your hard work.

The lessons learned here will guide them through every formation, every field problem, and every new responsibility ahead. AIT is the next chapter — a chance to continue building their skills, deepen their professionalism, and grow in their Army careers.

We are incredibly proud of the Soldiers who trained under this battalion. Their dedication made this cycle a success, and we know they will continue to represent the Champion Battalion with honor wherever they go.

Wishing all our Soldiers and their families a safe, joyful, and Happy holiday.

Congratulations Champion!

Today marks the end of an unforgettable journey and the beginning of a new chapter. The Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment — the Champion Battalion — have officially GRADUATED Basic Combat Training!

Champions, you earned this moment. Through every early morning, every challenge, every moment of doubt, and every test of discipline, grit, and resilience — you rose to the standard and exceeded it. You proved to yourselves and to the United States Army what you’re capable of.

As you head off to AIT and your next assignments, remember the foundation you built here at Fort Jackson. Carry the same drive, professionalism, and Champion mindset into everything you do. Whether you go on to lead, to serve in specialized fields, or to push yourself even further, know that this battalion is proud of you.

Once a Champion, always a Champion.
Victory Starts Here — and your future starts now.

Best of luck in all you do. Go make us proud.

Champions and Champion Families,

This is the ONLY official and authorized page for the 2nd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment.

As we get closer to Family Day and Graduation, please be aware that unofficial pages and scam accounts will start to appear. These pages may comment under our posts, send links, or claim to offer “exclusive access” to live streams. They are not real.

Any page that asks you to pay to view Family Day or Graduation is a scam. Fort Jackson does not sanction these pages; they do not represent the 2-13th Infantry Regiment, and they are not credible sources of information.

For accurate updates, schedules, and official communication, trust this page and this page only.
Your security and peace of mind matter to us, and we want to ensure you have the correct information as we prepare to celebrate your Soldiers.

Champions,

We have a surprise for you!

Yesterday, our Soldiers had the incredible opportunity to represent the best of the best at the USC Military Appreciation Game. They stood tall in front of thousands, showcasing the pride, discipline, and professionalism built right here on Fort Jackson — because Victory Starts Here.

This event wasn’t just a game; it was a moment for them to breathe, enjoy time away from the training environment, and feel the support of the South Carolina community. From the cheers in the stands to the recognition of service members on the field, our Soldiers were honored, celebrated, and reminded of the impact they’re already making.

We are proud of the way they carried themselves and represented their company, battalion, and the United States Army.
Well done, Champions — you showed everyone exactly what Fort Jackson produces: disciplined, motivated, and resilient Soldiers.
