FORT CAVAZOS, Texas - Serving as the Deputy Commanding General of Maneuver, Brig. Gen. Robert Born was bid farewell by the 1st Cavalry Division with a retreat ceremony on June 3, 2025, at Cooper Field, Fort Cavazos, Texas.
A long-standing military tradition that honors the flag and the country, a retreat ceremony marks the end of the official duty day and serves as a formal way to lower the nation’s flag.
When conducting the retreat ceremony, a member of the 1st Cavalry Division Band plays the bugle call, known as ‘Retreat’, promptly at the end of the duty day. Troopers of the Honor Guard slowly lower the nation’s flag while all others in attendance pay their respects, rendering a salute.
Born served with the First Team for two years, starting back in June, 2023. His service will continue in Fort Meade, Maryland.
“I want to thank the Troopers and Leaders of the 1st Cavalry Division and 3rd Cavalry Regiment for letting me ride with you for the last two years,” said Born. “You have a grit and toughness not surpassed anywhere in this great Army. I am truly better for my time in this great division.”
