U. S. Army Pacific Command

It was humbling to visit the battlefield of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, the most costly battle in American military history. America and its Allies paid an incredible price between September 26-November 11, 1918, to help bring World War I to an end. Our visit to Suresnes American Cemetery on Veterans Day provided another opportunity to honor the immense sacrifice of so many Americans a century ago.

Stay up to date with U.S. Army Recruiting Command. US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) is responsible for maintaining the world’s most lethal and professional Army.

1st SFAB Families and Friends, we are terribly saddened to announce that Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Bolyard was killed in action in Afghanistan, Sept. 3.

"Command Sgt. Maj. Bolyard was an outstanding and beloved leader whose service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We are heartbroken for his Family and will do everything in our power to help them through this tragedy. He will live on in our memories and in the hundreds of Soldiers he led and cared for throughout his exceptional career." -- Brig. Gen. Scott Jackson, 1st SFAB Commander.

Command Sgt. Maj. Bolyard was the Command Sergeant Major of 3rd Squadron, 1st SFAB. In that role, he was charged with the wellbeing of every Soldier in the Squadron, a responsibility he cherished.

It’s ! Congratulations to all our Joint Staff teammates who participated in the Marine Corps Marathon, 10k and kids fun run yesterday!

This month, we celebrate those Native Americans that served or are serving in the U.S. Army. Native Americans have a proud history of military service. They are well known as the “code talkers” who helped American forces communicate securely during both World Wars, playing a key role in the American military victories at the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in and several major battles in the Pacific theater during WWII.

I had a great visit to Picatinny Arsenal alongside U.S. Congressman and Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee Rodney Frelinghuysen and Program Executive Officer (PEO) Ammunition and the Commanding General, Brig. Gen. Abramson, yesterday to view Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC)'s U.S. Army modernization and soldier lethality efforts.

Their commitment to producing the best technology and equipment helps ensure we continue to deploy the most lethal force ever seen on the battlefield.

Happy birthday to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)! Highly trained and battle tested, the have forged an extraordinary history on the drop zones of France, the jungles of Vietnam, and the deserts of the Middle East.
