Squadron Commander’s Message: LTC
Ryan Harty
Greetings from
Fort Bliss, Texas!
We are all settled into our very luxurious
accommodations here at Dona Ana Range Complex in New Mexico.
Morale is high and we are all anxious to complete our training
and get into the fight. I have attached an update from myself
and the CSM and will continue to do this at least once a month.
Please feel free to publish on your respective social media
accounts or newsletters. Additionally, 1LT Scott Maraldo is our
Unit Public Affairs Representative and will run our Squadron
Facebook Page. You should see some updates and photos here in
the next week or so.
I hope all is well back home and please
reach out to myself and the CSM if there is anything we can do
for you. Thank you all for your unwavering support!

Bonds of Courage
and the NJ Cavalry and Armor Association will be supporting the
squadron in their new deployment , this time to Iraq and Syria.
They are deploying in 2024 in support of Operation Inherent
Resolve (OIR), which includes a campaign in both of those
countries. While Bonds of Courage’s mission has been to support
all Veterans and service members serving all branches of the
military, we now turn our hearts and our effort toward the 102nd
Cavalry Squadron. They are our hometown heroes.
