Right Arm Night, sponsored by the AGCRA Iron Mike Chapter, continues to grow and deliver vital resources, education, networking, team building, and camaraderie for Soldiers, Civilians, Families, and the Fort Bragg community.
On 29 January 2026, the AGCRA Iron Mike Chapter—alongside supporting chapter partners and sponsors—hosted Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 525th Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade (EMIB) at Two Two Six The Warehouse, the home of the AGCRA Iron Mike Chapter. Community partners, sponsors, and fellow Soldier Support Agencies were on hand to provide information, resources, and opportunities tailored to the needs of the focus unit.
Event Highlights
Awards and Recognition
MAJ Tanisha Smith, 525th EMIB S1 Officer in Charge, was awarded the COL Robert L. Manning Achievement Medal for her extraordinary achievements and service in support of the objectives and purposes of both the Adjutant General’s Corps and AGCRA. MAJ Smith was instrumental in the planning and execution of the Right Arm Night and has consistently demonstrated excellence in supporting Soldiers and Families in her current and previous assignments. The Iron Mike Chapter looks forward to continued partnership with MAJ Smith and the 525th EMIB team.
SSG Jamese Redrick was also awarded the COL Robert L. Manning Achievement Medal for her outstanding support to the AG Corps and AGCRA, as well as her exemplary leadership as a Noncommissioned Officer. SSG Redrick currently serves as the Iron Mike Chapter Secretary/Adjutant and is the primary lead for the Iron Mike Defenders Fitness Club. Her enthusiasm, work ethic, and commitment to the AG Corps—both through her chapter service and her role within the USARC G-1—have made her an invaluable, people- and mission-focused leader.
Support Agency Resources and Education
The Iron Mike Chapter was proud to once again partner with representatives from the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), Sergeant Audie Murphy Club, First Command, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6018. These organizations provided briefings on their missions, assisted with memberships, distributed educational materials, and engaged Soldiers one-on-one to share available resources and opportunities. The chapter looks forward to continuing this collaborative effort to support, educate, and resource Soldiers, Civilians, Families, Veterans, and the broader community.
Chapter Sponsor Support
Several chapter sponsors joined the event to provide additional education and resources for the focus unit. A special thank you goes to Orangetheory Fitness, Ideal-Functional Integrative Training (I-F.I.T.), Tier One Real Estate, and Well Done Good and Faithful Bakery. To our sponsors and prospective partners, thank you for your continued support of Fort Bragg Soldiers and the Greater Fayetteville community. Your commitment makes a meaningful impact, and we are proud to work alongside you.
Food, Fellowship, and Fun
Attendees enjoyed outstanding cuisine from two of Fayetteville’s premier food trucks—El Toro Alebrije Food Truck and A+ Comfort Foods—providing convenient, affordable, and delicious options for all.
In true Iron Mike Chapter fashion, the evening also included raffles and the distribution of chapter swag. Congratulations to the raffle basket winners, and sincere thanks to Mission BBQ, Mrs. Ebony Warfield Graham, AUSA, and the 525th EMIB Retention and Command Team for sponsoring the raffle prizes.
Looking Ahead
In February, the Iron Mike Chapter plans to host Team AG from USASOC and JSOC as its next focus units. The chapter strongly believes this initiative will continue to grow and provide Soldiers, Families, and community members with consolidated resources they may not otherwise be aware of.
