Abstract

This paper will cover my experiences during my tenure as a First Sergeant in B Company 2-6 Infantry, 1st Armored Division. I will discuss the Companys actions during my arrival, pre-deployment training and deployment of the unit. I will cover, in detail, the problems this Company was experiencing upon my arrival and how, as a team, we were able to overcome them and make the Company a success. I will provide a brief background of himself and my previous unit, as well as Joint Mission Rehearsal Center rotations and deployment. The issues discussed during the Companys extended delay in Kuwait will be covered as a means of illustrating the Companys accomplishment. I will discuss the Companys accomplishment of their mission in one of the most violent areas of Iraq and the professionalism of the NCOs and Soldiers during this time. I am proud to have served with this Company and I believe my term with B Company to be one of the highlights of my Army career.
