☀️ BEAT THE HEAT. STAY MISSION READY. 💪🇺🇸

Summer is here, and higher temperatures can quickly become a serious safety risk. Whether you’re training, working outdoors, or enjoying time with family and friends, taking a few simple precautions can make all the difference.
💧 Hydrate before you’re thirsty.
🕶️ Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
🤝 Check on your battle buddy, coworkers, friends, and family.
⏰ Plan strenuous activities during the cooler parts of the day.

Heat injuries are preventable. Know the signs, look out for one another, and don’t let the heat stop you from accomplishing the mission safely.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay ready.

🇺🇸🎉 The celebration is underway! 🎉🇺🇸

We’re having an incredible time at the 251st Army Birthday Open House at Natick Soldier Systems Center!

From meeting current and former Soldiers, enjoying live music, exploring military history displays, checking out military vehicles, connecting with community partners, and celebrating alongside our friends from the New England Patriots, there’s something for everyone. Guests are also enjoying food, family activities, the ski expedition display, interactive exhibits, and so much more!

Today is a chance to celebrate 251 years of service, honor those who have worn the uniform, and strengthen the bond between the Army and the communities we proudly serve.

There’s still time to join the fun - come out, bring the family, and help us celebrate the Army’s birthday!

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Army! 🇺🇸🎂
