Twelve soldiers enrolled in Fort Riley’s Career Skills Program will receive Class-A commercial driver’s licenses during a graduation ceremony on post at 11:30 a.m. Friday.

Fort Riley officials said the CDL certification program enables soldiers to operate tractor-trailer semi-trucks for commercial use. The training program is sponsored by ABF Freight and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach will be in attendance and the guest speaker is Brig. Gen. John Kolasheski, 1st Infantry Division deputy commanding general.

The CDL program is part of Fort Riley’s continuing commitment to the Army’s Soldier for Life program.
