\"TennesseeNashville, TN<\/strong> – Before embarking on a year-long deployment, 36 Tennessee National Guard men and women from the 30th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 230th Sustainment Brigade, participated in a casing of the colors ceremony October 21st, 2017 in Humboldt, TN.<\/p>\n

The term \u201cColors\u201d refers to a command, brigade or regiment\u2019s distinct flag that uniquely represents the command. The Casing of the Colors ceremony is a U.S. Army tradition that commemorates a unit being deactivated from a parent unit. In the case of the 30th CSSB, the ceremony represents them leaving for their deployment.<\/p>\n

\"(L<\/a>

(L to R): Command Sergeant Major Michael Warren, Battalion CSM, and Lieutenant Colonel Brooke Grubb, Battalion Commander, prepare the 30th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion colors for casing prior to their deployment to Afghanistan during a ceremony on October 21, 2017 in Humboldt, Tenn. More than 30 personnel will provide logistical combat support to U.S. Forces in support of Operation Freedom\u2019s Sentinel.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

While deployed, the 30th CSSB\u2019s mission is to provide logistical combat support in Afghanistan as part of Operation Freedom\u2019s Sentinel, said Maj. David Evans, the executive officer-in-charge of the unit.<\/p>\n

The unit last deployed in August 2008, and with each new deployment, the personnel assigned to the unit gain notable skills and experience, said Sgt. 1st Class David Winstead, the noncommissioned officer-in-charge (NCOIC) of the unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I am looking forward to operating in a new position with a new unit and operating under a different mission in a new area of operation I have not deployed to before,\u201d Winstead said. \u201cAs the NCOIC, it\u2019s my goal to ensure my Soldiers all learn something through mentorship by the leaders within the unit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
