We would like to thank the Rail Gunner Soldiers, staff and family members for everything that you continue to do while serving this great country, the Army and, the 41st Fires Brigade.  Thank you all for all that you do. It is our pleasure to be a part of this Rail Gunner family!

On May 11th, 240 Rail Gunners deployed in support of the United States Military Academy Cadet Summer Training Program in West Point, New York. We'd like to congratulate all the Soldiers and officers who returned from this mission on July 25 and August 13 on a job well done. Their professionalism and commitment to excellence reflect the brigade‘s dedication to mission accomplishment. Thank you for your tireless efforts!  You have definitely played an integral role in molding young cadets into the Army‘s future leaders.

For the first time in the Fort Hood‘s history, the All-Army Combatives Tournament was hosted at Fort Hood. We would like to take a moment to recognize the Soldiers who diligently trained to represent the Rail Gunners in this tournament. These warriors are winners who displayed expertise, bravery, and talent during the competition. The brigade was represented by SFC Hunt, SGT Reyes, SPC Minor, and PFC Chavez. Their great efforts contributed to the III Corps/Fort Hood Combatives Team's second consecutive victory.

The end of summer is near, which signifies the start of a new year for the Rail Gunner children. The Killeen Independent School District's  classes begin August 22. The first day of school is always an important milestone in our children‘s lives. Accordingly, all Rail Gunner parents are excised from work in order to escort their youngsters to school. We encourage all parents to support their children in all they do.

We will continue to strive for excellence in our upcoming missions. There is nothing the Rail Gunner Family cannot accomplish together. Continue to work hard and uphold the standard!

Rail Gunner Strong!
