On this anniversary of Operation Enduring Freedom, we pause to remember the heroism of the 10th Mountain Division, the first task force-capable command with operational forces deployed in response to the atrocities of September 11.

🗓 Following those dark days, President George W. Bush inspired a nation with words of unity and resolve: “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.”

🏔 With these powerful words, the 10th Mountain Division rose to the occasion. They swiftly established Combined Joint Task Force Mountain in October 2001, demonstrating to the world the unwavering strength and resilience of the American people.

đź’Ş Their exceptional courage and dedication were foundational, setting the stage for the XVIII Airborne Corps to deploy forces and establish Combined Joint Task Force 180 in May of 2002.

Today, we honor and celebrate the undaunted bravery of the 10th Mountain Division and every soul who stood tall in Operation Enduring Freedom. Your resilience, your courage, and your unwavering commitment echo the enduring strength of America.

I will always believe that no matter what organization you currently serve with or have served with in the past, your first real interaction with the U.S. Army is the Drill Sergeant. Without our Drill Sergeants there would be no Soldiers taking the fight to our Nations advisories, whether that’s an Infantry, Airborne, Ranger or Special Operations unit.

Great time today with MAT 2231. Woke up early and headed out to walk up Mount Kenya, some of it. Started at about 10,000ft and finished at about 12,525ft. Amazing experience and phenomenal Team Building event.

What our Advisors assigned to the 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade do is important. I’m getting a chance to see first hand the relationships they are building with their Partners here in Morocco. SGT(P) Emily Dray is a perfect example. From Atlanta, TX, who would have thought she would be inspiring and teaching members of a foreign military. While using her experience and skills as a Mechanical Advisor, she is doing just that! Proud of her and the remaining members of TM 2211.
