FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. – Command Sergeant Major Ronald Krause relinquished his authority as the senior enlisted leader and “Keeper of the Colors” for the 780th Military Intelligence (MI) Brigade (Cyber) to Command Sgt. Maj. Jesse Potter in a Change of Responsibility ceremony hosted by Colonel Benjamin Sangster, the brigade commander, at the Post Theater, October 3.
To farewell Command Sgt. Maj. Krause and welcome Command Sgt. Maj. Potter, and their Families, were their fellow Soldiers, Civilians, Family and friends, representing the brigade and its subordinate battalions – the 781st MI Battalion (Vanguard), 782d MI Battalion (Cyber Legion), 11th Cyber Battalion (Leviathans), and the 127th Cyber Protection Battalion, Task Force Echo VI, Army National Guard – as well as representatives from U.S. Army Cyber Command, the Cyber National Mission Force, and Fort George G. Meade.
In his remarks, Col. Sangster mentioned this was the second time he and Command Sgt. Maj. Krause have served as a command team.
“Ron and I had the honor and privilege of standing up the Cyber Training Battalion back in 2016,” said Sangster. “You are the right command sergeant major for the Cyber School and Cyber Corps. We wish you all the best and look forward to all the progress our corps will make with you helping lead the way. Thank you for taking care of the 780th.”
Command Sgt. Maj. Krause took time in his farewell comments to thank each Soldier and Civilian across the 780th MI Brigade for their “professionalism and dedication,” and then went on to recognize each unit for their key contributions.
“Over the last two and a half years I had the honor of representing this amazing organization’s people,” said Krause. “Though there has been no shortage of personal and professional challenges across our formations, I am proud of the leaders and teams clearly demonstrating their care, their commitment, and working through coachable moments. It is the ownership and engagements taken by all that enabled us to make it through each challenge together.”
Sangster also welcomed back Command Sgt. Maj. Potter, who previously served as the Brigade S3 (Operations) Sergeant Major, and the senior enlisted leader for the 781st MI Battalion.
“To Command Sgt. Maj. Potter and Family…welcome back! We are truly blessed to have you rejoining the 780th,” said Sangster. “In the short time that I’ve known him, I can already tell he is the right command sergeant major for the job.”
Command Sgt. Maj. Potter comes to the brigade after serving as the senior enlisted leader for the Cyber Protection Brigade, The Hunters.
“It’s still hard for me to imagine that I have been chosen to return to serve in this one-of-a-kind organization,” said Potter. “As many of you know, I have been given the unique and extremely rare opportunity to serve as the brigade command sergeant major of both the Army’s only defensive cyber operations brigade, and now the premier offensive cyber operations brigade.”
Praetorian seven, signing onto the net. Everywhere and Always…In the Fight! Strength and Honor.”
