History in 60 Seconds: What do you know about Roman Legions? The Roman legion was the backbone of the powerful Roman army for centuries. Here's a breakdown of some key points: 1) Elite Infantry: For most of the Roman Empire's history, legions were the elite heavy infantry of the Roman army. 2) Citizen Soldiers: Early legions were composed entirely of Roman citizens. After reforms by Marius in 107 BC, citizenship wasn't a requirement, but it remained a prestigious role. 3) Size and Organization: The size of legions varied over time, but typically consisted of around 5,200 men during the height of the Empire. They were structured into smaller units called cohorts, centuries, and contubernia. For comparison, a US Army brigade consists of a few battalions and anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers. A colonel is generally in command. Video: Historic Vids

I’m very pleased to share with you that Kairos Logistics Group is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business as certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration By law, the Federal Government mandates that 3% of all Federal contracts are awarded to SDVOSB. In 2020 4.28% of all Federal contracts were awarded to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses. If you're a company working with Federal or State Governments, many contracts stipulate meeting a small business participation goal- particularly with a protected class such as Service Disabled veterans. There are tons of other tangible benefits of partnering with Veteran Owned Businesses, but one is just to engage the brave men and women who volunteered to put their lives on the line for our country. #veterans #veteranownedbusiness #logisticssolutions #supplychainmanagement #supplychainsolutions 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) - US Army 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne) - US Army USSOCOM US Army U.S. Small Business Administration National Small Business Association

Today we honor and celebrate the 249th United States Army Birthday. We extended our deepest thanks and gratitude to every Soldier serving on Active duty, Reserves, National Guard, Veteran, Retirees, and their families for your service to our nation. We honor and remember those Soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation, our allies, and the values of the US Constitution. #DeptofDefense #ThePentagon #MilitaryCommunityandFamilyPolicy #USArmy #ThisWeWillDefend History The United States Army (USA) is the land service branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services, and is designated as the Army of the United States in the U.S. Constitution. The oldest and most senior branch of the U.S. military in order of precedence, the modern U.S. Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775 to fight the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783)—before the United States was established as a country. After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The United States Army considers itself to be a continuation of the Continental Army, and thus considers its institutional inception to be the origin of that armed force in 1775.

The Green Beret Foundation (GBF) launched the Pineland Initiative on November 10, 2021. This new campaign focuses on expanding the Foundation’s scope of services to include pre-9/11 U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers and their families. The Pineland Initiative, which launched in 2022, reflects a 3-year phased approach to growth and expansion of existing programs and services to accommodate the needs of the pre-9/11 Green Beret population. One key aspect of this expansion is the welcoming of additional Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) onboard GBF staff to meet the anticipated greater need for assistance with the preparation and prosecution of Veterans Affairs benefits and disability claims. These new VSOs will bring with them the added benefit of providing a Foundation presence geographically located at each of the five Active Duty Special Forces Groups, and two National Guard Special Forces Groups, located around the country. The name “Pineland” pays tribute to the shared legacy of Green Berets, past and present. This initiative is well-timed, as the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Army Special Forces will be commemorated this coming June 19th. With Pineland being the first initiative in GBF’s history to support Green Berets of all generations, there’s an opportunity to honor those that laid the groundwork to make the Green Berets the world’s premier, elite special operations force. The GBF is asking that those wishing to support the Pineland Initiative campaign consider making a commitment of support to the Foundation at the amount of just a $12 monthly recurring contribution. #greenberet #specialforces #militaryfamilies #veteransupport #Pineland #greenberetfoundation
