SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. (April 13, 2013) – Personnel from U.S. Army Central came together here April 12 to bid farewell to the command’s senior enlisted advisor during a change of responsibility ceremony.
Command Sgt. Maj. Eric Dostie, who will next serve as the senior NCO at the Army’s Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., relinquished responsibility of the unit’s welfare and enforcement of standards to Command Sgt. Maj. Joseph C. Cornelison.
Cornelison, who joined the Army in 1990 as an infantryman, last served as the 1st Infantry Division command sergeant major at Fort Riley, Kansas. In the time since his initial enlistment, Cornelison has served in a variety of assignments that helped prepare him for his new role. Most notably, he’s previously served as the Combined Joint Force Land Component Command senior enlisted advisor in Baghdad, Iraq. He’s also deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Cornelison, who is already preparing for his first trip to visit the 20-nation area of responsibility USARCENT comprises, is embracing the legacy and lineage of his new command, which is quickly approaching its 100th birthday.
"I'm proud to say I'm a Third Army Soldier and that it's truly honor to stand before you as Lucky 7, the senior non-commissioned officer of an outfit with such a rich history and great reputation," said Cornelison.
