Sen. Jerry Moran noted on Saturday it's the goal of his office in 2022 to continue the effort, as it has been the past two years, to ensure that Fort Riley could be a location for any future 1st Infantry Division third brigade, "a place that the Department of Defense, the Department of the Army decides that if there is going to be a third brigade that it would be at Fort Riley. That means our continued efforts to improve infrastructure at on Fort Riley."
Moran pointed to successes that have been accomplished with housing, medical care and education on the installation, including grant funding to help pay for a new elementary school at Fort Riley.
"Those are the kinds of things that we are certainly paying attention to, to get and maintain Fort Riley to be a place that more units, and ultimately a third brigade could be maintained."
