The 1st Armored Division kicked off Torch week with a 3.2-mile division run, basketball, dodgeball and many other sports. The main events were the combatives tournament, boxing 'fight night' event and a Commander's Cup challenge. Torch Week is an annual event commemorating the division's role in the World War II invasion of North Africa in 1942, known as OPERATION TORCH. Iron Soldiers celebrate the division's history and honor the everlasting legacy of the Iron Soldiers that came before them through week-long competitions and morale-boosting events that demonstrate physical fitness, promote camaraderie, and foster a climate of winning throughout the organization.
