Today, SGT Heaton and SPC Conway were selected over 4,000 fellow Rakkasans to be recognized as Heroes of the Battle for their outstanding actions during JRTC 19-05. Two of the finest Soldiers I know! #RedKnights! ⛩️@TheRakkasans @Phoenix80829516

Not quite a before and after, but it shows the hard work of the Distro Platoon and the Red Knight Batteries as they work together to reset all the ammo following JRTC. @RealRedKnight6 @RealRedKnight6

What does it look like after you drop steel rain on OPFOR during a JRTC rotation? The rotation is over, but the work is not! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

Thank you, SPC Ordonez, for helping us display Phoenix pride in our work and fitness areas! Sustain the Fire! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

Whether slinging pancakes or pallets of MREs, the Phoenix Field Feeding Team ensures Soldiers are fed and morale is high. PV2 Baskerville became the latest Culinary Specialist from F FSC to earn his Air Assault Wings! Great job! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

Geronimo, we are not a soft target.

Every Phoenix Soldier knows they are a Soldier first.

Fight Tonight won’t wait for a service schedule. Phoenix Soldiers clean crew served weapons to make sure we are ready and lethal now. @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

PV2 Rodgers of the F FSC Field Feeding Team becomes the newest Phoenix Soldier to earn his Air Assault Wings. If his wings look good here, they will absolutely shine on his cook-whites!

Phoenix Soldiers use the Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 to practice marksmanship fundamentals. This vital step in training helps maximize resources during qualification ranges and allows us to be more lethal when sustaining Red Knights in the field. @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

Victory meal is in progress... Red Knight Rakkasan!

Everyday is a good day to be a Red Knight. French toast makes it even better. SPC Hasan creatively uses the available ingredients from the Army UGR-Heat & Serve to make a special breakfast for Distro Soldiers who have been supporting day and night for more than a week.

Be at the bursting doors of doom,
And in the dark deliver us,
Amen” - Irish Artillery Poem

Day or Night: the big guns never stop and Phoenix’s Distro Platoon won’t either. #WeOwnTheNight @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

It’s said an Army marches on its stomach. Phoenix FSC supports every step for the Red Knights with hot chow prepared in an expeditionary environment. @assurgam6 @RealRedKnight6

If we can’t survive, we can’t sustain. Phoenix is ready to sustain, defend, fight, and win! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

[Phoenix 6 @Phoenix80829516]

Red Knights start our day right! It’s the first thing we plan and the last thing we cancel. @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6

[Phoenix 6 @Phoenix80829516]

Sustainers must be ready to provide support under less than ideal conditions...LT Ippolito briefs Phoenix Soldiers our plan for tonight’s dismounted resupply mission! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6 #Rakkasans

[Phoenix 6 @Phoenix80829516]

It’s a beautiful morning to be sustaining Red Knights in the field! @RealRedKnight6 @assurgam6
