The Directorate of Emergency Services recently hosted a memorial service for four year old Military Working Dog Don who passed away in April 2026.

In recognition of Bike to Work Day, the Transformation Data Analysis Center with the Garrison hosted an APG Bike to Work Day on the installation last week.

Participating in outdoor physical activities like biking is more than just a great way to commute—it directly builds our physical resilience and enhances our overall mission readiness. Staying fit, healthy, and resilient is a critical component of our operational success.
