STRIKE came together earlier this week for a Thanksgiving luncheon filled with good vibes, shared laughter, and a whole lot of gratitude. Whether you’re a current Soldier in the STRIKE formation, a veteran of STRIKE, or someone who has never worn the uniform but proudly stands behind a loved one who does, every member of our STRIKE family plays a vital role in the sacrifices that make our missions possible, and today we honor that.

As we broke bread together, we were reminded of just how much we truly have to appreciate. Thank you for all you do, and Happy Thanksgiving! πŸ¦ƒ

STRIKE Brigade closed out the month of October with a brigade run that set the tone for a friendly but fierce PT competition and feat of strength. πŸ’ͺEvery formation brought the grit, but in the end, the CONQUEROR Battalion rose above the rest. πŸ†πŸ†Huge shoutout to the Conquerors for taking home the bragging rights! πŸ₯‡
The Iron Brigade remains lethal, competitive, family-oriented, and always ready for whatever this great nation calls us to do. 🫑
