During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Landis Maddox, commander, STB, praised Paulson and all of the first-time accomplishments made during his tenure.
“It has been my distinct privilege to serve beside Command Sgt. Maj. Paulson and call him my ‘Ride or Die’,” said Maddox.
Paulson will be retiring after more than 29 years of service. Paulson thanked the command for the leadership and mentorship provided during his time as the STB command sergeant major.
“Sir thank you for allowing me to lead your Soldiers, it has been an honor,” said the native of Lacrosse, Wisconsin, as he thanked the 1st TSC commander, Maj. Gen. Paul C. Hurley.
