The uncasing ceremony highlighted the brigade's unrivaled firepower and emphasized the vital alliance between our NATO allies, especially our Polish partners.
The uncasing ceremony marked the end of strategic planning, preparation, and deployment and heralded the commencement of a new phase of operations and partnership for the 2ABCT.

The brigade's lethality is on full display with advanced weaponry, cutting-edge technology, and a highly trained and motivated team of combat-ready soldiers. It highlights an unmatched armored capability to deter potential adversaries swiftly.
Presiding over the ceremony, Maj. Gen. David S. Doyle, the commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division, said in his opening remarks, "2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, welcome back to Europe," highlighting the unit's return to theater after relocating to Fort Bliss, Texas, in 2011.
The uncasing ceremonial significance reverberates through the U.S. military and within the heart of the NATO alliance. The synergy between NATO allies is a powerful force that acts as a steadfast deterrent against any potential aggressors.
The partnership between the United States and Poland is a cornerstone of NATO's commitment to the region. The Polish government's inclusion and unwavering support for the brigade's deployment underscores the deep-rooted ties between the two nations. Polish officials have consistently affirmed their commitment to working alongside their American counterparts to ensure the security and prosperity of the region.
“This ceremony focus' on unrivaled firepower, the crucial presence in Europe, and the synergy between NATO allies underscore the commitment to a secure and peaceful region. With the steadfast support of the Polish government and the dedication of military leaders like Col. Domengeaux, the uncasing ceremony stands as a testament to the enduring power of collaboration and deterrence on the global stage,” stated Doyle.
Col. Dwight D. Domengeaux, the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team commander, said, "Today's uncasing ceremony marks yet another historic chapter for this remarkable brigade."
"Strike soldiers are ready to accomplish our mission in Europe," emphasized Domengeaux. "And eager to further strengthen what is already the world's most powerful alliance."
The ceremony displayed the tangible firepower at the brigade's disposal and the intangible resolve that defines the NATO alliance. The ceremony encapsulates the essence of deterrence – the unspoken promise that any hostile action will be met with swift and resolute response, ultimately safeguarding the region's peace and security.
