Road Trip: Fort Bliss, Texas and New Mexico

Fort Bliss is a United States Army post in the U.S. states of New Mexico and Texas. With an area of approximately 1,700 square miles, it is the second largest such installation in the Army behind the adjacent White Sands Missile Range, and the largest TRADOC installation.

Fort Bliss is home to the 1st Armored Division, which returned to US soil in 2011, after 40 years in Germany. The division is supported by the 15th Sustainment Brigade. In addition to 1st AD, the installation is also home to the 32nd Army Air & Missile Defense Command, along with its subordinate 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade.

The headquarters for the El Paso Intelligence Center, a federal tactical operational intelligence center, is hosted at Fort Bliss, located at Biggs Army Airfield; its DoD counterpart, Joint Task Force North is also at Biggs Field. Biggs Field is designated a military power projection platform.

 Over its distinguished history, Fort Bliss has served as an infantry post, a cavalry post, and the premier Air Defense Center of Excellence. With 1.1 million acres, this post is bigger than the state of Rhode Island and can accommodate every weapon system in the Army.

 Excellent ranges and training area, coupled with the third longest runway in the nation, make Fort Bliss a premiere facility for training, mobilization and deploying combat forces. The Mission at Fort Bliss is to train, sustain, mobilize, and deploy members of the joint team to conduct global, full spectrum operations in support of the national military strategy, while providing for the well-being of the regional military community.

Hi Kathy!
Busy! Didn’t get in till 9:30PM tonight.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Teenie!

*HUGS*

Great to see you as well! Had a grueling PT session this evening - muscles are extremely tight. Had some traction applied to the neck - seems to be helping.

How are things with you this evening?

If you're feeling any better with the PT at least that's a plus!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
