Multi-National Division – Baghdad PAO
CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq – Army slogans have come and gone. They have adapted to the generations. You all remember “Be all that you can be” and the most recent “Army of One,” but the Army has now changed the slogan to “Army Strong” to embody the spirit and guts of the new age Army, an Army at war.
Using pictures taken from the most recent deployment to Iraq, the Multi-National Division- Baghdad now has a new retention poster.
“The poster represents all of us in MND-B. All of the division patches are shown on the poster,” said Sgt. Maj. Derek Dahlke, the division command career counselor.
The new poster is about to hit the streets of Baghdad and some of the troops are inspired by it.
“I love all of the pictures on the poster,” said Staff Sgt. Nick Strong, with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Cavalry Division. “I am trying to get the poster as the background on my computer.”
The poster has more than just pictures. There are a few inspiring words as well. “The most important part of the poster is the phrase ‘You can’t be replaced.’ It is true. Every Solider, no matter what your job or rank is in the Army, you can’t be replaced,” Dahlke said.
Others have a different take on what the phrase “You can’t be replaced” means.
“Cav can’t be replaced. We are the best unit in the Army,” said Sgt. Hal Spiller, HHC, 1st Cav. Div. “The poster just makes me want to stay Cav.”
The First Team has taken a new approach on the Army Strong theme and added their own Cav touch with the phrase “Cav Tough” tagged on to the end of the Army slogan.
If Spiller’s reaction to the new poster and the new slogan are any indication, the division retention office has hit the mark as their latest product hits the streets of Baghdad.
