U.S. Army

Fort Riley's First Infantry Division, also known as the Big Red One, has released a five-year campaign plan that outlines the future of the northeast Kansas army post.

A group of retired generals has been touring the country, talking about health, fitness and nutrition. They're also drawing attention to the problem of obesity in America. The former officers cite a report which suggests about a third of young Americans are too fat, maing them unfit to serve in the military. And, they say, that's putting the nation's security at risk.

Like other officials from the state, Kansas Senator Jerry Moran says the U.S. Army's troop reductions at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth could have been worse.

The U.S. Army has ordered troop reductions at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth, but all told, the reductions amount to less than 700 active duty soldiers.
