Serve Daily

The Utah Army National Guard officially opened its new Nephi Readiness Center located at 2378 West Airport Lane, Nephi, Utah, on June 2, 2026, returning a permanent National Guard presence to the community for the first time in more than 30 years.

The readiness center will be the home of the 1457th Engineer Battalion.

The open house will mark completion of the $27 million, 55,000-square-foot facility designed to support engineer units and enhance emergency response capabilities in central Utah. Additionally, a groundbreaking ceremony will take place to introduce a new maintenance facility to support the unit.

“This project represents years of planning and perseverance,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Thalman. “The new readiness center provides modern facilities capable of supporting today’s Soldiers and mission requirements.”

The readiness center includes geothermal systems, backup generators, a self-contained septic system and enhanced earthquake resistance to support continued operations during emergencies and disaster response missions.
