USA's 250th Birthday at Fort Bliss, and The 1st Armored Division

For this episode of El Paso Prime Time, Richard Dayoub from Thunderbird Management welcomes the Commanding Generals for the 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Major General Curtis Taylor, and Commander Sergeant Major James Light. They will be talking about the duties their division has, how they are improving the quality of life for recruits and soldiers on post with the new programs and initiatives, and mobility services such as Zipcars. They will also be talking about what the plans are for the nation's 250th birthday on post and the amenities offered this upcoming 4th of July.

The 1st Armored Division is the oldest, most recognizable armor division in the United States Army. When directed, the 1st Armored Division deploys and defeats our nation's enemies to support national objectives, fully prepared to exercise mission command of Army, Joint, and Multi-National forces as a U.S. division or as a Joint Task Force (JTF).
