Fort Riley is entering a busy period as soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division’s 2nd Brigade begin deploying, while the post prepares for leadership changes, Veterans Day activities and the Army’s 250th anniversary.
Christian Bishop, director of military relations for the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, provided an update to Riley County commissioners on Thursday, saying deployment is underway.
The deployment is expected to continue through the coming months, with the first redeployments anticipated to begin in December.
