Formation/Deployment of a New Infantry Company in the 4th UA of the 3ID

Abstract

The time had finally come and I was getting the job that every senior Noncommissioned Officer desires the most, First Sergeant. I was leaving the fine world of Observer/Controller and heading to the 3rd Infantry Division. After talking to all the Brigade Sergeants Major of the Division, I was finally going to the 4th Brigade Combat Team, a newly formed Unit of Action in the division. Alpha company was a brand new infantry company in an armor battalion but it was going to work out. The chain of command is established and Soldiers are coming in. Time will fly by; we will only have 9 months to go from no personnel to boots on the ground in Iraq. The first fully manned and equipped Unit of Action infantry company in the 3rd Infantry Division, Alpha Company 4-64 Armor Task Force. APACHES
