📣 Battalion Leadership Hosts Town Hall 📣
Last weekend, LTC Tressler and CSM Botkin brought the Soldiers of the battalion together for a productive and engaging Battalion Town Hall.
During the session, they shared command priorities, upcoming training guidance, and key updates to ensure every Soldier and Family member stays informed and empowered. The town hall also provided space for open discussion—giving Soldiers the chance to ask questions, raise concerns, and voice ideas that strengthen our formation.
Their leadership and commitment to transparent communication continue to drive readiness and build trust across the battalion.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation!
