Last week, the 2-1 ADA BN had a successful event known as Guardian Day. This day commenced with a group run that fostered camaraderie, followed by engaging activities designed to enhance teamwork among the soldiers, from Uniform Inspections to ensure readiness to PAI checks for accountability. The event wrapped up with a light-hearted pie-in-the-face fundraiser, providing an excellent opportunity for soldiers to have fun while also building connections with their leaders and help raise money for the Battalion Ball.

Team Daegu, Carroll, Busan and all of Area IV! What is the word for this weekend? COLD! While we do not anticipate more snow, low temps and high winds will make for severely hazardous wind chill, or "feels like" temperatures. Minimize exposure, stay inside if you can and dress appropriately if you must go out! (Archive photo)
