Great weekend for the Roughnecks!

A special shout out to former 486th Commander, LTC(P) Casey Campbell for his recent graduation from the U.S. Army War College!

LTC Campbell was recently selected for promotion to the rank of Colonel and accepted a need position in Italy.

We are proud of his continued excellence and look forward to seeing where his new ventures take him!

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.” –John F. Kennedy

We hope your Memorial Day has been full of remembrance and rest.

There is a vast difference between active leadership and passively filling a leadership position.

At September BA, COL Humphries spoke to 486th soldiers during our weekend of weapons training. He spoke to groups of soldiers and individuals about their purpose and their role in this battalion’s success. We pride ourselves on this type of active leadership. From individual squads and teams, all the way to the top of the chain, soldiers at the 486th have leaders who actively care about their careers and wellbeing and make an effort to be present and mentor at every opportunity.

➡️ Who has been your most memorable leader and why?

It’s about that time!

The 486th Civil Affairs Battalion held the Battalion Change of Command ceremony this past weekend. LTC Casey Campbell relinquished command of the 486th CA BN to LTC Michael Cochenour.

LTC Campbell, we thank you for your leadership, guidance, and selfless service during your tenure as Battalion Commander. Good luck on your next mission!

Welcome to LTC Cochenour! The Soldiers of the 486th are thrilled to have you!

Congratulations!
Mingos!
