Fort Riley officials announced Tuesday that, following a directive from the U.S. Army, it is concluding operations of the Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard to align more resources with warfighting capability and readiness.
Officials confirmed they will work diligently to find suitable homes for the horses and will keep the community informed throughout the transition.
The change does not impact the 1st Infantry Division’s Big Red One core priorities, which include building warfighting readiness; caring for soldiers, civilians, and families; adapting formations to win and developing inspirational leaders.
