The 1st Infantry Division from Fort Riley has returned to the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California, for a division-level training rotation.

It’s the third time an entire division has undergone training at the NTC and the 1st Infantry Division’s first time back since 2021.

Traditionally, NTC rotations have been the domain of individual brigades, but divisions now are rotating through the NTC in what officials called “a significant shift aimed at enhancing war-fighting capabilities.” The 1st Infantry Division will deploy its division headquarters and elements of its combat aviation brigade, division artillery brigade and division sustainment brigade to the NTC.
