Freedom is not inherited! It is earned, defended and secured every day by the brave men and women who are willing to give everything in the fight for liberty.

For two and a half centuries, the flame of liberty has been guarded by those willing to step into the dark.

Today, as we celebrate the birth of our Nation, we honor the quiet professionals who step into the unknown and operate in the shadows to ensure our independence endures.

Happy Independence Day.

Lethality is a deliberate result of relentless training and dedication.

When pressure strikes and the stakes are on the line, we don’t rise to the occasion; we rely on the standards of our preparation.

Every rep. Every drill build on the precision required for mission success. When the mission demands surgical precision deep in contested territory, the Commander's Interdiction Force answers the call.

Detect. Assess. Exploit.

During Exercise Venom Shield, Soldiers from the 14th Chemical Reconnaissance Company and 192nd Ordnance Battalion put their skills to the test, conducting sensitive site exploitation and validating their ability to identify hazards, assess threats and operate in complex environments.

Readiness isn't built on game day, it's built in training.

Operating deep inside contested territory, from 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) and allied SOF paved the way for victory during Exercise RED FLAG-Alaska at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson - JBER. By conducting critical reconnaissance in the deep to identify and neutralize enemy threats, our elite operators set conditions that enabled 11th Airborne Division to converge on the battlefield and allowed United States Air Force aircraft from U.S. Pacific Air Forces to dominate the skies.

Success didn't start in the air, it began on the ground with 3rd SFG.

While their work may have been unseen, their impact was essential to mission success.

“And the Army goes rolling along”

251 years ago, on June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army, America’s senior service, was established by the Continental Congress.

Yesterday, during our annual Army birthday meal, we celebrated 251 years of honor, courage and commitment of the generations of Soldiers who have answered the call to defend freedom at home and abroad. From the first patriots who fought for independence to the Soldiers serving around the world today, their dedication, sacrifice and commitment have shaped the Army's enduring legacy.

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Army!

This We'll Defend.
