Being America’s Contingency Corps only works if we can get where we’re going and get there quickly. The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) works to get our forces (@3rd_Infantry, @101stAASLTDIV, @10MTNDIV) where we’re needed. Image

This type of operation is known as a JLOTS - Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore. The 7th Transportation Brigade can move LOTS of stuff in a JLOTS op.

Our Soldiers are speaking to us about the conditions at the Smoke Bomb Hill Barracks. It’s authentic and real feedback we need. We are listening and taking action!

Communication flow is every changing, and we are working to improve it. Our Soldiers deserve it. 🧵
We want all of our Soldiers to know we are working hard to make their quality of life better!

We have leaders across Fort Bragg already working to make their lives better, and we have resources committed to make this happen.
Moving 1,110 Soldiers won’t be quick, it will take time, but it will be done right. Our goal is to have everyone out of the SBH barracks by the end of September.
