Armor School Cases Colors Ending the Armor Era at Ft. Knox
10 June 2011 Ft. Knox, KY. Two formations representing the 194th Armor Brigade and the 316th Cavalry Brigade marched onto the field for the last time. The Spirits of Armor and Cavalry also attended. Just at 0900 as the ceremony began, there was Thunder and Lightning and a brief rain that spoke to the sadness of many of the old hands who came together one final time to see the casing of the colors of each battalion/squadron and then saw the casing of the Armor School flag.
