The Army commander from 16th Engineer Brigade, Army National Guard, transfers authority as Task Force Spartan’s Theater Engineer Brigade to the commander from 111th Engineer Brigade, Army National Guard, at a Transfer of Authority Ceremony, April 22, 2021, at the Morale Welfare and Recreation Theater on Camp Buehring, Kuwait. The ceremony was attended by the command team from Task Force Spartan; Maj. Gen. Patrick Hamilton, commanding general of TF Spartan, and Command Sgt. Maj. Jim Horn, division command sergeant major for TF Spartan. The 16th TEB out of Ohio was a subordinate unit of Task Force Spartan, whose mission is to promote stability in the region through building security and partnerships throughout Southwest Asia. The 111th TEB out of West Virginia recently arrived in Kuwait to take over Army engineer responsibilities in the TF Spartan AOR. Before their deployment, the 111th TEB was visited their state’s National Guard Assistant Adjutant General, Brig. Gen. Murray E. “Gene” Holt. “For the past couple of years, the 111th has been training and building readiness for this mission,” said Holt. “Knowing how hard the Soldiers and leaders have trained, planned and worked in preparation for this opportunity, I am confident that as soon as they arrive overseas, they will immediately begin to make a difference.”
