Battle-Tested, Future-Ready: Celebrating 250 Years of Service

As our nation approaches 250 years of independence, we're reminded that freedom is never guaranteed, it is preserved by generations of Americans who answer the call to serve.
 
This Independence Day, we recognize the warfighters whose courage and commitment help keep our nation secure. We are proud to stand beside them, delivering the advanced technologies and capabilities they need to deter threats, protect our allies and defend the freedoms we celebrate today.

Battle-Tested, Future-Ready: Celebrating 250 Years of Service. 

As the United States Army marks its 250th birthday, Lockheed Martin proudly joins in celebration — honoring a legacy of strength, courage and innovation that has shaped the nation and defended freedom since 1775.

From legendary aircraft to next-generation missile systems, our commitment remains unwavering: to advance the Army’s readiness, protect those who serve, and shape the future of defense.
 

Proud Past. Powerful Future.

As we honor 250 years of the U.S. Army, Lockheed Martin remains focused on what comes next. We are advancing innovation across all domains—air, land, sea, space, and cyber—to support the Army of 2030 and beyond.

Because defending freedom demands more than just technology—it takes partnership, purpose, and the shared resolve to always stay ahead of what’s next.
