The First Armored Division and Fort Bliss Museum is ready for TORCH WEEK.
After 3 years of cancelations due to COVID-19, we are happy to announce that this year's TORCH WEEK is a GO...
Museum staff have been busy preparing for the past several months for the TORCH WEEK events that will be held at Fort Bliss, Texas from 1-4 November 2022. The museum has set up several tables with artifacts, uniforms, and equipment ranging from pre-World War Two when the Division was activated through present-day operations. We encourage everyone to stop by the museum and see some of the artifacts as well as many other armored vehicles and equipment used by the 1st Armored Division during Operation Torch in WW2 as well as other eras throughout history.
On October 31, 2022, the 377th Transportation Company once again showed outstanding professionalism and support as they relocated the WW2 era M3 Stuart Tank that was at the corner of Buffalo Soldier and Bradley Roads to the Division Headquarters and Parade Field where many of the TORCH events will occur. This artifact will be on display for photo opportunities. Upon completion of the TORCH WEEK events the M3 Stuart will be returned to the pad at the intersection of Buffalo Soldier and Bradley Roads.
We look forward to seeing many of you at the 1AD Division HQs Parade Field and the 1AD/FT BLISS/NCO Museum Complex.
