Fort Riley officials rolled out the update Campaign 2020 plan on post Friday.

The plan was first developed in 2010, but there have been updates in succeeding versions. The latest updates aim toward a larger focus on readiness.

1st Infantry Division Commanding General, Major General Wayne Grigsby Jr. explained that they will continue to balance their training between the Mission Command Training Center and live training in the field.

Grigby noted the Mission Command Training Center allows Fort Riley to do fundamental training up front. “So we go into the collective live event that builds confidence. In live we go in at a higher level. That means we’ll come out at a higher level. ”

Grigsby stressed the Mission Command Training Center does not replace live training.  “I still need to conduct live operations.”

Grigsby called the land that Fort Riley has for live training a major strength, combined with the buffer zone between the post and its’ surrounding communities. It allows Fort Riley to do more than other military installations across the country.
