Dear DMOR/HMOR Ladies and Gentlemen of the 16th Infantry Regiment:
Please accept our apologies for this late notice but we have just received notification of the timing of the DMOR/HMOR induction ceremony, and are just now finalizing and coordinating details with the active duty units in order for us to give you some useful information for your planning purposes pertaining to this year's Regimental Week and DMOR Investiture.
The 16th Infantry regiment would like to thank the 1-16 IN for hosting a dinner at 1800 hours (6:00 PM) on the evening of Monday, June 11, 2012 at the Courtyard by Marriot, Junction City. Due to the Monday dinner time, it is encouraged that your travel plans be arranged for you and your party to arrive well in advance of the dinner, possibly arrive on the day before, which is Sunday, June 10, 2012.
The 16th Infantry Regimental DMOR/HMOR Investiture ceremony will be held at 10:00 - 11:00 AM, Tuesday, June 12, 2012 in the 1-16IN Headquarters Conference Room.
The l-16 IN Commanding Officer, LTC and Mrs. Roger Crombie will hold a social/dinner at their quarters. The time and date of this event is yet to be determined.
In keeping with the Commanding General's intent, all of the regiments in the lst Infantry Division will be celebrating alongside the entire lst ID during Victory Week at Ft Riley, 11-14 June, 2012. That means that events and activities will focus not just upon the veterans of the regiments, but upon the Soldiers and Families of the active duty component as well. We hope to be able to spend some quality time with our Soldiers from the 1-16 who will conduct our DMOR Investitures, visit displays, etc., but as of now there are no actual planned visits or tours during our visit to Ft Riley.
Planning continues with LTC Roger Crombie, 1-16INF and the S1, 1LT James Fiala. They are doing a great job staying ahead of the curve. When final details of each event is received, the information will be disseminated to all DMOR/HMOR and previous DMOR/HMOR in email newsletters and when necessary, by separate notification either email or telephone.
There are limited rooms reserved at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Junction City, Kansas. It is suggested that attendees make reservations at the hotel as soon as possible. The reservation desk telephone number is: 785-210-1500. Please let the reservation clerk know you are with the 16ft Infantry DMOR program for discount price of $81.00 per night. Due to the late notification and arrangements of reservations, the number of reserved rooms are as follows: Sunday, June 10 — 40 rooms, Monday, June 11 — 34 rooms, Tuesday, June 12 — 40 rooms, Wednesday, June 13 — 40 rooms, and Thursday, June 14 — 29 rooms available. It is suggested that you make reservations promptly. Reservation arrangements may be made at the hotel beginning, Monday, April 23, 2012. Please note that if needed, there is a Best Western nearby.
Equally critical is that we know who is arriving and departing by air from Kansas City International Airport and/or the Manhattan, Kansas airport. It is anticipated that the Iron Rangers will schedule shuttle service between airports, based on your arrival and departure locations times. Please let us know, as soon as possible, the date, time, airline flight number, arrival and departure times, and finally, the number in your party. Please either email or contact us by phone as soon as you have your travel information. Contact numbers are listed below to facilitate your travel to Junction City.
Much has already been done and much more is left to do before we meet. We will continue to work on the details but with the information provided to you in this notice, you will be able to make and lock down travel plans and room reservations for DMOR and Victory Week.
