FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Big Red One transition program announces partnership

with Koch Industries
Fort Riley, Kansas; April 28, 2015 Fort Riley today announced a partnership
with Koch Industries to establish several internships as part of the BRO-SFL
program. The internships, scheduled to last from 6-8 weeks will allow selected
soldiers to learn a variety of civil workplace duties and potentially transition into
full-time employment at the various departments within the Koch conglomerate.
With the kind of discipline and work ethic promoted by the army, we were glad
they reached out to us, John Doe, head of the military liaison department, said.
Koch prides itself on having a dedicated work force with diverse experiences and
capabilities. We hope this partnership with the army proves to be beneficial for both
parties.
The partnership between the BRO-SFL program and Koch industries will aim to
provide transitioning military personnel relevant work experience while still on
active duty. It will allow soldiers benefit from the resources currently available to
them to invest in the next phase of their lives and ensure a smooth transition to
civilian life.
