THIS DAY IN ARMY HISTORY โ 1933
93 years ago today, First Army was reactivated at Fort Jay, New York.
Its early mission focused on training and readiness for the Army National Guard and Reserve helping prepare Soldiers before they were called upon for something bigger.
A decade later, First Army would help prepare and train forces that went on to play a major role in Operation Overlord and the D-Day invasion. ๐ช๐
That history is a reminder that readiness doesn't happen overnight. Itโs built through preparation, training, teamwork, and the people who help you get ready for the next mission.
๐ That idea carries over to today.
For our Veterans and military-affiliated students at UVU, the next mission may look very different earning a degree, starting a career, supporting a family, or finding your next purpose.
MASH is here to help you prepare for that mission.
