Minutes after the sound of reveille echoed throughout Camp Arijan, Kuwait, Command Sgt. Maj. Clark Kinder, command sergeant major of the 135th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), presents an American flag to Brig. Gen. Donald Tatum, commanding general of the 135th ESC. The flag 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 on that Oct. 24 evening, 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.
