The leaders of 42nd ClearÂance Company cased the unitâs colors Tuesday during a brief ceremony in Fort Knoxâs Sadowski Center, signaling an end to their time on post.
The eventual move, expected to be complete when the unit reforms by Oct. 1, is the latest change in the unitâs nearly 77-year history, which began as a petroleum distribution company. Company Commander Capt. Michael Churchill said their mission also will change.
âIt will be a lot less route clearance-focused and more supporting a (brigade combat team) in a direct action conflict,â Churchill said. âIt will be more mobility as far as Sapper tasks go â lighter equipment.â
7 FORT LEE, Va. (May 18, 2021) . – Multiple military teams from three training battalions competed in the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade Soldier Stakes Competition here May 14 at Williams Stadium.
It marked the return of a Sustainment Center of Excellence event that has not been conducted since 2019, with last year’s competition scrubbed due to the threat of COVID-19. Dragon Brigade organizers restructured it – carrying out the activities within the confines of the stadium instead of several training ranges across post.
Soldier Stakes was comprised of 12 competitive lanes that included sprints, a weighted ammo can carry, a chain of command knowledge test, a tractor tire lift race and other contests. With challenges that were both physically and mentally demanding, often requiring a unified team effort, the warrior skills showcase was intended to foster competitiveness, boost esprit de corps and instill a fight-as-a-team mentality.
