Operation Victory Wellness is a comprehensive and enduring 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley initiative. Its goal is to make every Soldier, Civilian, and Family Member on Fort Riley more resilient and stronger across the five dimensions of strength: Physical, Emotional, Social, Family, and Spiritual. The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (Family and MWR) supports this operation by providing classes, events and activities directly related to the five dimensions of strength. Our mission is to serve the needs, interests and responsibilities of all people in the Army Community (Soldiers, their Families, civilian employees, military retirees, and other eligible participants.)

The Guide is an authorized, official quarterly magazine for Family and MWR activities within Fort Riley. Contents are not necessarily the official views of or endorsed by the U.S. Government, the Department of Defense, or the Fort Riley Command. The appearance of advertising in this publication does not constitute endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Fort Riley Family and MWR Fund. Everything advertised shall be made available for purchase, use or patronage without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, physical handicap, political affiliation, or any other non-merit factor on the purchaser, user or patron.
