Change of Command - 1st AD Field Artillery Battery 
CPT Martha Lane Kinnett
Fort Bliss, TX
14 March 2023

The 1st Armored Division, nicknamed "Old Ironsides", is a combined arms division of the United States Army. The division is part of III Armored Corps and operates out of Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. It was the first armored division of the United States Army to see battle in World War II.

A VERY symbolic 'Changing of the Guard' from 'old' to 'new' warfighter as COL Puckett's granddaughter assumes command of a field artillery battery within the 1st Armored Division.
