Cyber attacks can disrupt military operations long before the first shot is fired.

During #SWORD26 in Estonia, Allied cyber defenders trained to protect critical infrastructure, communications and transportation networks that underpin NATO’s collective defence.

“Deterrence today extends far beyond the physical battlefield.” – General Ingo Gerhartz

“This training matters because we don’t get a second chance during an emergency. Whether that’s saving somebody’s life or transportation to a medical facility, you don’t get a second chance to do that correctly.” @MDNG

Memorial Day is a sacred pause, a moment for our nation, and for each of us in uniform, to remember those who gave their lives in service to something greater than
themselves.

Say their names. Share their stories. Carry their legacy forward.
We will remember them. Always.

The hat may be gone, but the influence remains.

Last week, the Recruiting and Retention Battalion hosted Drill Sergeant Donita Adams' de-hatting ceremony who is moving on to the next stage of her career as Sgt. 1st Class Adams.

RRB will miss you!
