Douglas A. Sims II

Thirteen years of partnership between K-State and the and Fort Riley have produced multiple long-lasting accomplishments in what President Richard Myers called “our two communities, really just one community.” The two have blurred the lines within the Fort Riley and Manhattan communities through community events and a strong working partnership, here’s to even more future collaborations! .

The strength of a soldier isn't just in the battlefield, it's in the heart. Years of service have taught me that leadership means sacrifice and resilience comes from standing tall in the face of adversity. Every mission was more than a duty it was a calling to serve something greater than myself. Grateful for the journey and the people who made it unforgettable. The mission may change, but the heart of service never will.

I am General Douglas Sims. Throughout my service, I have forged and upheld an unshakable integrity, the foundation of every soldier and every leader. I stand with unwavering dignity and pride in this great nation, honoring the flag and all it represents. For as long as I draw breath, I will remain steadfast in my duty to America and the values that define our strength.

Another day serving with courage and pride here in Syria. Every handshake reminds me of the strength, dedication, and unity of our soldiers on the front lines. We face challenges together and stand as one team, one mission, one purpose to protect and defend. General Douglas A. Sims II 🇺🇸

Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Raymond Harris and I visited the Soldiers of 1st Infantry Division Forward in Poznan, Poland. During our visit, we shared meals with junior Soldiers and Non-Commissioned Officers, conducted a leader professional development session, and received tours and briefings from staff. Yesterday, the 1st Infantry Division Forward officially took on the mission from the 1st Cavalry Division in a Transfer of Authority ceremony. The Soldiers of 1ID Forward are enthusiastic about enhancing readiness, interoperability, and trust with our NATO Allies and partners through realistic training environments. .

I Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Sims presided over the ceremony by offering opening remarks to introduce Chief DeLong and later administering the oath of office to him. Lt. Gen. Sims, who had come directly from the Pentagon and was visiting Aberdeen Proving Ground for the first time, touched on the focal points of service and sacrifice during his remarks. He indicated that the four overseas service bars on Chief DeLong’s arm not only signify two years spent deployed (six months per bar), but how those bars also mark the passage of time away from his family who made a sacrifice so that he was able to accomplish his mission. It is a sacrifice that has been rewarded, and Chief DeLong’s family deserves full credit for their commitment to our country.
