1st Infantry Division Forward from Fort Riley has assumed authority of Atlantic Resolve Mission Command Element.
The Atlantic Resolve Forward Division Headquarters serves as the intermediate headquarters between U.S. Army Europe and Africa, and U.S. regionally allocated forces deployed throughout the eight eastern European Atlantic Resolve countries of Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
In February 2018, the 1st Infantry Division deployed to Poznań, Poland for the first time as the Mission Command Element of Atlantic Resolve and continues that tradition today as the Forward Division Headquarters.
“The 1st Infantry Division is proud to return to Poland,” said incoming 1st Infantry Division Forward Commander, Brig. Gen. Andrew Gainey. “To once again demonstrate our continuous commitment in Europe and deterring any nation that threatens the NATO allies and our partners.”
