Marne 6 Sends
BG John Lubas
Honorary President
Happy Holidays to all Dogface Soldiers and friends of the Marne Division!
This past month, the final Raider Soldiers arrived home from deployment. The brigade will enjoy a well-earned reset and holiday block leave period, before they begin their next training cycle in the Spring. We are truly proud of Raider Brigade’s accomplishments as they represented our division well with our NATO partners and allies. Job well done!
Meanwhile, Spartan Brigade is ramping up their training cycle. Having refit and recovered from their October Training Density, they are now preparing for their division readiness exercise in January where they will train their weapons systems and new technology under difficult field conditions meant to test their Soldiers. We are confident they will be ready in January and will make us proud. They have already started fielding the newest technology and are eager to see how they can best use it in a realistic training environment.
Our Falcon Brigade is currently deployed to Europe with the Division headquarters, and we are glad to have them at our side as we continue to solidify alliances with our NATO friends. They have hit the ground running here in Europe, ensuring all their equipment is ready and Soldiers have done their initial deployment tasks. This month, their leaders will be meeting with our allies and partners preparing for major exercises in 2026.
Our Provider Brigade is about halfway through their 18-month nonstop deployment and redeployment operations to multiple countries all over the world. Despite their multiple operations, Provider is still coordinating with Spartan to support their training exercise next month. This past month, our Providers represented their industry well, with three spectacular Thanksgiving meals and our finest cooks preparing for the Army’s Best Chef competition next year.
This past November, we celebrated our Division’s 108th year anniversary, marking 108 years of serving this nation. Though the division is apart, we have never been more united in our purpose. We are the Hammer of the XVIII Airborne Corps, the most modern division in the Army and proud citizens of the Southeast Georgia community.
We are incredibly proud of the work our Dogface Soldiers have done and continue to do as we begin this deployment, and we stand ready to answer anytime our nation’s call.
Rock of the Marne!
