FORT CARSON, Colo - About 250 Soldiers re-upped to stay with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and deploy to Iraq in a mass re-enlistment ceremony at Fort Carson Dec. 1.

"I've never experienced anything like it before," said Sgt. Michelle Calder, a truck driver with the regiment's supply and transport troop and a recent a re-enlistee who participated. "It was a really nice event for the Soldiers."

A team of 3rd ACR career counselors and retention noncommissioned officers spent several months planning the massive re-enlistment ceremony. Sponsors donated flowers for spouses and a large flag, the 3rd Cavalry Museum provided historical items, and Fort Carson's Harmony in Motion sang the national anthem and the Army Song.
