Brig. Gen. Donald Tatum (center) commanding general of the 135th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), watches the flag detail as they wait for reveille to commence Oct. 24 at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. Tatum received the flag that flew over Army Support Group - Kuwait's headquarters for 211 days, a period that coincidentally coincided with the time Tatum and his troops had commanded many of the logistical missions conducted under Central Command's area of operations. Earlier that day, the Alabama National Guard unit conducted a transfer of authority ceremony with the 143d ESC, an Army Reserve sustainment command headquartered in Orlando, Fla. The 135th ESC spent two months training their 143d ESC counterparts while simultaneously overseeing missions and operations throughout the Middle East.
