Lt. Col. Tobin Magsig (right), the commander of the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, stands with Command Sgt. Maj. Bernie Knight (center), retired, while he holds the ceremonial Tomahawk with Command Sgt. Maj. Mitchell Rucker (left), the senior enlisted advisor for Blue Geronimo, as Knight was charged as the honorary command sergeant major of the battalion during an Honorary Command Sergeant Major Induction Ceremony at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, July 14, 2014. The Tomahawk symbolizes the lethal force of the NCO Corps necessary to complete the mission, as well as resembles a primitive ice pick to reinforce the battalion’s additional requirement for arctic proficiency. The honorary command sergeant major serves as the link between all members in the battalion currently serving and those who have served before. (Photo by U.S. Army Sgt. Eric-James Estrada/Released)
