Mission

 
MRC mission is to plan, coordinate and execute programming and activities that will strengthen the relationship between Manhattan and Fort Riley, and bring about a heightened awareness of community's mutual importance. 

MRC commitment is to support soldiers and families, and showcase a military-inclusive community where we encourage military service members to call Manhattan home. We hope to show active and retired military the Greater Fort Riley Community is not just another duty station, but the place you never knew you couldn't live without!
