1st Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment "The Fighting Sixth"

Earlier this week we said goodbye to CPT Lewis, who has been with the squadron for over 3 three years. He served as a Platoon Leader in A TRP and as an S3 LNO for German and Polish forces while deployed. His leadership and hard work will be greatly missed by everyone here at 1-6.

We are sad to see CPT Lewis go, but wish him the best in the future!

Today we promoted CPL King to SGT! From the very start of his tone with us, SGT King has been one of the hardest workers within the unit. Doing everything from facilitating effective maintenance operations, to teach and mentoring young Soldiers within his Troop, SGT King has embodied the ideals and principals which make for a strong NCO. As he continues to serve in the Unit, we look forward to the future results he is known for!

Earlier this week we promoted one of our Officers from 1LT to CPT! CPT Phillips has been with the squadron for several years, and has filled positions ranging from Platoon leader to Staff. He chose to conduct his promotion on the airfield, where the ceremony was graced with an F-16 flyby, and Polish aircraft maintenance testing. He currently serves as one of the members on Squadron Staff, and has been an instrumental player in our day to day operations.

As he continues his service to the Unit, we look forward to the leadership he will continue to bring.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of holding a re-enlistment ceremony for our retention NCO, SSG Valle! This outstanding NCO has assisted several of our Troopers in their careers, by helping re-enlisting them to remain with the Squadron, or helping individuals refocus their pathways into other duties outside of the Squadron if they deem they are called elsewhere.

We thank SSG Valle for all his work and effort, and wish him the best as he continues to serve within the Squadron.

14 May we held an award ceremony for select Troopers within our formation who performed admirably during our tenure at Allied Spirit 24. Achievements include everything from facilitating movement of equipment accross Europe, crossing multiple international borders, to defending the base from constand OPFOR probing and attacks. All in all, each one of these Troopers is highly deserving of the awards they were presented.

Earlier this week we conducted a re-enlistment ceremony for yet another one of our fine Troopers! SPC Rodriguez opted to continue serving for an additional 6 years, working as a parachute rigger. During his time in the Squadron, he has not only helped countless personnel within the Unit, but he has also volunteered his time after hours teaching self defense classes. Further, each person he meets he encorages to push themselves, irrespective of rank or position, to become the best person possible each day.

As this outstanding Trooper goes on to his next assignment, we wish him all the best!

Also on Friday, D Troop 1-6 CAV was able to conduct a re-enlistment for one of their NCO's, SGT Munoz. He chose to re-enlist to work in military communications, repairing radios.

As he moves on to his next duty assignment, we wish him all the best!

We would like to also extend a huge thank you to CPT Lynch and SSG Pierce for coordinating with the Air Force for the opportunity to conduct this re-enlistment in front of a re-fueler. It's not every day that we get to be around these aircraft!

Friday Task Force Saber conducted a Change of Command for Echo Troop. The outgoing Commander, CPT Adams, served the Soldiers and NCO's of Echo Troop for the past 2 years. With successful maintenance and supporting operations ranging from training centers to his current duty location, his leadership ensured the aviators of the Task Force were always ready to fly.

The incoming Commander, CPT Bugg, has been an active member within the Brigade since his arrival a year ago, and has made positive impressions at all echelons. His leadership and influence is sure to carry Echo Troop to new levels.
