What year did the Global War on Terror deployment occur following activation in Fort Riley?

The Global War on Terror deployment that followed activation in Fort Riley occurred in 2006. This was a significant moment in U.S. military history, as units from Fort Riley were deployed in support of operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the broader Global War on Terror. The context around this period includes increased military engagements following the events of September 11, 2001, leading to intensified military operations throughout the early 2000s. The year 2006 marked a pivotal moment when several brigades were actively involved in ongoing operations, responding to the evolving situations in those regions. This deployment was part of the continuing efforts to stabilize the areas affected by conflict and support local governance and security initiatives.

The other years mentioned do not align with the specific timeline of the Fort Riley deployment, as significant movements and changes occurred around those times, but those particular years do not represent the direct activation and deployment linked to Fort Riley in the context of the Global War on Terror.
