CAMP HUMPHREYS, Republic of Korea – Warriors of 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division welcomed a new deputy commanding officer-maneuver during a patch ceremony, May 23, at Helipad H-221, Camp Casey.
The ceremony signifies a change of responsibility between outgoing and incoming maneuver deputy command leaders at a critical location within the Division footprint.
“Changes of command and transfers of responsibility are a routine part of what we do, here in Korea, particularly here at Camp Casey,” said Brig. Gen. Stephen J. Maranian, outgoing deputy commanding general-maneuver, 2ID/RUCD. “But the point is while the faces, patches and units may change, the missions, friendships and the alliance remain ever constant.”
Maranian’s successor, Col. Gene Meredith, deputy commanding officer-maneuver, 2IDRUCD, is no stranger to Korea and says he stands ready to the fulfill the responsibilities in the unique environment.
“The army has brought us back to Korea once again,” said Meredith. “To our Republic of Korea partners, our Soldiers, NCOs and officers of 2ID/RUCD, I pledge my undying loyalty and dedication.”
As he departs the Warrior Division to lead Army University as its provost, he challenged 2ID/RUCD Soldiers to continually sharpen their focus in betterment of the team.
“I challenge you both individually and collectively to invest in all the teams of which you are a part,” said Maranian. “While you may strive to be the best, because winning matters, don’t worry about being the best one on the team, focus on being the best you for the team.”
