Good evening 1-7 FA friends and family!

Last week we had the opportunity to say farewell to our very own Fox 6, CPT Daniel Rigdon, as he relinquished command to Fox Battery's new Commander, CPT Ryan Kane.

We will surely miss CPT Rigdon, but we wish him well on the rest of his army career and we cannot thank him enough for his dedication and service to 1-7 FA.

Congratulations to CPT Kane on his new position! We are eager to watch as he builds upon Fox Battery's reputation of excellence and hard work within this Battalion!

Good evening 1-7 FA friends and family!

This morning we had the opportunity to promote Michael Vitt to the rank of 1st Lieutenant. 1LT Vitt has been with us for approximately a year and has served 1-7 FA well as both a Battery XO and Company FSO.

We are extremely proud of the work he has done for our Battalion and hope he wears his new rank well as he continues to represent 1-7 FA in the Army.

Congratulations 1LT Vitt!

Good afternoon 1-7 FA friends and family!

Last Friday we had the opportunity to say farewell to two of our soldiers, 1LT Ryan Moore and 1LT Randall Ross.

Both of these officers will be leaving Fort Riley to attend the Captain's Career Course at Fort Sill.

While we are sad to see them go, we are grateful for their service during their time with 1-7 FA and wish them the best of luck as the continue on in their Army careers!

Good evening 1-7 FA Friends and Family!

This morning we had the distinct privilege to conduct a change of command ceremony for our outgoing Havoc 6, CPT Robert Koryus, and our new HHB Commander CPT Ryan Burr.

We cannot thank CPT Koryus enough for his leadership and dedication to his "people first" mentality. We wish him the best as he transitions back to Fort Sill to be a Captain's Career Course Instructor.

We are also very excited for the opportunity to have CPT Burr as our new HHB Commander and know that he will carry on the legacy of selfless service and professionalism within Havoc Battery.

Join us in thanking CPT Koryus and welcoming our new Havoc Battery Commander, CPT Burr!
