YEAR OF THE WARRIOR



    

The Big Red One Year of the Warrior is the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley’s program to recognize and honor the Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division, their relentless pursuit of excellence, and their commitment to warfighting mastery. The Big Red One has always led from the front—on the battlefield, in training, and in developing the next generation of warriors. First to the Fight! Milestones for the Year of the Warrior include the 81st D-Day Anniversary Ceremony, the 1st Division Monument commemoration in Washington D.C. and a guest speaker/leader professional development series. The Division will also focus on the Army’s 250th Birthday by competing in Army-wide competitions, because our fit, inspired, disciplined, trained and ready Soldiers strive for excellence in all that they do.
