If you ain’t first, you’re last.

One armored brigade at Fort Stewart, Georgia, is giving all new meaning to Ricky Bobby’s wise musing of “If you ain’t first, you’re last.”
The Army’s “Spartan Brigade,” 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, is the first Army brigade to finish modernizing by upgrading its fleet of vehicles — a process that has been more than a year in the making and was apparently completed for the 2nd ABCT at precisely 10:10pm on Sept. 27.
“The Spartan Brigade is grateful for the opportunity to be the first modernized brigade in the Army,” the brigade’s commander, Col. Ethan Diven, said in a press release. “We have been blessed with the people, equipment, and resources to modernize, and we are now focused on demonstrating our capabilities at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, in late winter next year. We will be disciplined, aggressive, and lethal.”
