LEHI, Utah – The Utah National Guard is scheduled to host an open house and ribbon cutting event for the newly renovated Lehi Armory on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 4 p.m. The event is scheduled to take place inside the armory and will begin with a few remarks from UTNG and city leaders followed by a tour of the facility.
After several year’s absence from the city the Utah National Guard’s 23rd Army Band and the 128th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment will call Lehi home. “We are thrilled to have the band and the MPAD drilling in Lehi,” said Col. Jon Richardson, commander for the 97th Troop Command. “After many years, these units finally have a space specifically designed to accommodate their unique needs. We are grateful for the city’s support and look forward to being an active partner in the community again. We truly appreciate the support and patriotism of Lehi City.”
This newly renovated space provides these units with areas that greatly improve their ability to train in their specific tasks and missions, a capability that has been lacking for both these units for many years. Maj. Jeff Brenchley, commander for the 128th MPAD said “this space is tailored to our mission needs, which enhances our capabilities and helps us accomplish our public affairs mission. We are excited to be amongst the local community.”
For the 23rd Army Band this new space provides a variety of new areas that benefit the bands mission and gives them space to practice for the many community concerts and events they participate in each year. “This building will allow us to train more efficiently and effectively than ever before,” said Chief Warrant Officer two Spencer Frohm, commander, and band master. “We look forward to calling this place home, thank you to all who made this a reality.”
