Team Round Rock Supporting Fort Hood

The City of Round Rock and Round Rock Chamber of Commerce have teamed up with Williamson County and its cities to support Fort Hood’s 4ID Combat Aviation Brigade.  “Team Round Rock” is committed to supporting the 4ID’s Aviation Maintenance Support Battalion, which includes 782 soldiers and their families.  Leading the charge for Team Round Rock is Mayor Nyle Maxwell, who was inspired after visits to Fort Hood and a trip to the National Training Center, where he spoke one-on-one with many soldiers.

“I thought our soldiers were out there learning how to shoot guns. But they’re learning so much more than that. They’re learning how to negotiate with mayors and chiefs of police. It’s truly amazing,” Mayor Maxwell said. “Our soldiers want to be there fighting for us and support from their hometown can help lift their spirits and encourage their families, who also face challenges here at home.”

Team Round Rock is part of a broader Williamson County effort, spearheaded by U.S. Congressman John Carter in conjunction with the Central Texas-Fort Hood Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA). Team Round Rock is currently signing up businesses, neighborhood groups, civic clubs, schools, church groups and individuals to join the effort. They’ll assign your group a smaller unit of soldiers (depending on the size of your group) to support in whatever ways you wish (care packages, correspondence, deployment/welcome home events, supportive calls to family members, etc.). There are no requirements and you’ll only be limited by your group’s creativity!  The motto is: “Adopt-A-Unit is what you decide it is -- Nothing more, nothing less!”
