OCONUS, March 24, 2025 - Hello, I am [ ]. I received your care package today (March 24, 2025) and I am so very thankful. There wasn’t one thing in there that won’t be useful and there is so much that I can share with my fellow coworkers. I’d probably say that my favorite thing on there were the Burt’s Bee chapsticks. That’s all I will use and I literally just finished my last tube yesterday so it was ironic timing that I received this package from y'all with 3 tubes in it. I also really enjoyed reading the handwritten notes, especially one from a high school sophomore.

Each SBCT is a mechanized infantry force of approximately 4,400 soldiers, and the Army's nine SBCTs — seven active-duty and two National Guard — are known for their rapid deployment and versatility. Built around the Stryker vehicle — an eight-wheeled armored platform — the brigade balances mobility, protection and firepower. Capable of transport via C-130 Hercules aircraft within 96 hours, the Stryker excels in operations requiring swift response.
