Division Colors were passed from Major General John V. Meyer to Major General Monte Rone at a ceremony on June 28, marking the official transfer of command. This ceremony symbolized the beginning of a new chapter for Fort Riley, as Maj. Gen. Rone, with a distinguished career spanning over 34 years, assumed leadership. His extensive experience includes serving in all four infantry divisions within the III Corps, though this is his first assignment at Fort Riley.
In his inaugural speech, MG Rone expressed his enthusiasm for his new post, highlighting the positive reputation of Fort Riley and the Flint Hills region. He repeatedly emphasized, "Fort Riley and the Flint Hills is the best hometown in America."
