The countdown to the 250th birthday to the United States Army is on! 🎉🎂 As we celebrate this milestone, we're taking a look back at the arsenal that's helped our Soldiers defend freedom for centuries. 🕰️

Check out this exclusive video with Patrick Allie, director of the Rock Island Arsenal Museum, as he explains the production of the M386 truck mounted launcher system for the M31 Honest John Rocket 🚀 at Rock Island Arsenal, now RIA-JMTC. This powerful rocket system was a game-changer on the battlefield, and its development is a testament to the Army's commitment to maintaining our strategic advantage 💪.

From the Revolutionary War to present-day missions, our Soldiers have consistently demonstrated their bravery and resolve to defend our nation 🏛️. We will deter war, and if necessary, we will win the Nation's wars. It's this unwavering dedication that has earned the trust and respect of the American people 🙏.

As we honor the rich history and legacy of service, sacrifice and dedication of our U.S. Army Soldiers, families and Army Civilians, we're reminded that our nation's freedom is built on the foundation of their selfless service 🙌. They have borne true faith and allegiance to our country, the U.S. Constitution, the Army, their units and fellow team members since 1775 📜.

Join us in celebrating 250 years of Army Strong! 💪
