    Col. William Benson (left), outgoing commander of the 4th Brigade “Long Knife” Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, and Command Sgt. Maj. Christopher Menton, former senior enlisted adviser of the brigade, case the unit’s colors during an inactivation ceremony at Cooper Field at Fort Hood, Texas, Oct. 17. Activated in 2005, the brigade completed four deployments, three to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. “The need for the brigade is no longer, so this should not be a cause for disappointment. The brigade accomplished its assigned mission,” Benson said. “The efforts of the brigade helped provide the people of Iraq and Afghanistan with an opportunity for a different future. A better future.” (Photo by Sgt. Angel Turner, 1st Cavalry Division, Public Affairs)
