Greetings!
The
last Armor Conference, now called the Armor Warfighting Conference,
is slated for the period Saturday, 15 May 2010 to Thursday 20 May
2010. Future conferences will be in the form of the Mechanized Center
of Excellence Warfighting Conference at Fort Benning.
The
plan is for this conference period to be a "Super Reunion" for
Armor and Cavalry units. The opening period of Saturday, Sunday and
Monday will be mainly reserved for reunion type activities such as
tours of the post, Patton Museum, vehicle static displays, golf
scramble, skeet shooting, Stable Call with grog ceremonies and meet
active duty soldiers. An added feature this year will be to ask
attendees to participate in oral history interviews. Sunday is
reserved for unit reunion activities.
Several
units have planned their association reunions in concert with this
last Armor Conference. Our association was well into our 2010 Houston
Blackhorse Family Reunion planning and had significant resources
committed when we learned of this "Super Reunion" initiative.
I
will attend as a representative our association.
In
an effort to help the Ft. Knox planners I would ask that those of you
who plan to attend the Armor Conference email me at
jsc11krh@bellsouth.net.
Please
specify those pre-conference reunion type activities you wish to be a
part-----remember, these activities are slated for Saturday through
Monday in advance of the actual Warfighting/Armor Conference.
My
next conference call with the Ft. Knox planners is slated for 8 Feb
'10. Would appreciate a speedy response----it will help the Knox
planners a great deal.
Thanks.
John
Sherman Crow President The Blackhorse Association
