Blue Watch Soldiers actively participated in a commemorative event at our adopted school, Nolanville Elementary, in recognition of the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States. The annual Freedom Walk unites families, faculty, and Soldiers, serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering the events of that tragic day. We will never forget.

The 163D IEW BN recognized a few of its members who recently participated in the 500lbs, 750lbs, and 1000lbs weight lifting competition hosted by the 504th EMIB. Team Blue Watch lifted over 26000lbs which is equivalent to the load handling system of the M1120 HEMTT.
That’s what we call Army Strong!
