NEWS FROM OUR DEPLOYED BATTALION:

2-77th FA Afghanistan


77th ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION
 TROOPER SUPPORT PROGRAM 

     The second battalion of the 77th Field Artillery is serving downrange in Afghanistan.  While deployed, these 77th FA redlegs face the stresses and fatigue of combat, experience family separations and disruption of their normal lives. To at least partially compensate for this, the 77th Artillery Association has adopted these battalions to promote a ‘TROOPER SUPPORT PROGRAM.’

By your participation not only will the 2-77th FA Redlegs in Afghanistan continue to be made directly aware of your individual support as they perform their assigned mission, but each time you leave your post office you will feel the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done something to help the 77th Artillery Association carry out a part of the reason for its existence.
