The Prisoners of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Table sets the awards dinner during the 2025 Combined Best Squad Competition at Fort Knox, Ky., on May 11, 2025. Each item symbolizes their sacrifice: the white cloth for purity, the red rose for waiting families, the empty chair for their absence, and the candle for hope and remembrance. The Army Reserve Careers Group (ARCG), headquartered at Fort Knox, Kentucky, supports U.S. Army Reserve end strength by retaining Soldier talent and assisting transitions from other Army components. With more than 1,750 Soldiers across 13 battalions worldwide, ARCG manages career progression, reenlistments, officer accessions, and career counseling. The command provides resilient, disciplined leaders of character and delivers skill-rich operational forces to Combatant Commanders through targeted retention and transition programs.
