    21st Theater Sustainment Command

    KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Maj. Gen. Ronald Ragin, commanding general, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, is formally promoted from the rank of Brigadier General, here at Daenner Chapel by United States Army Europe and Africa commanding general, Gen. Darryl A. Williams.

    Ragin was pinned by his wife, Brandie, and his two daughters, Meagan and Courtney following remarks by Gen. Darryl A. Williams, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa.

    “This unit is the backbone of this theater,” said Williams, “You enable this theater. You are vital to this command. The glue, the baseplate, for this theater is this command. We couldn’t do anything in this theater without this command.”

    Ragin was formally promoted by U.S. Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Randy George on Dec. 7, 2023 with seven other general officers in Washington, D.C. after months of a Senate Hold on military promotions. Today's ceremony was formal for U.S. Army Europe and Africa, 21st TSC, host nation, friends and families.

    “I don’t like a lot of attention on me,” said Ragin. “Never have. That’s why I fit into the SOF [Special Operations Forces] community so well. So, I’m going to shift focus on why I’m here and that’s three reasons: my family, my mentors, and the other people around me."

    If you have any questions, please contact 21st Theater Sustainment Command by email: usarmy.rheinland-pfalz.21-tsc.list.pao@army.mil.

    The 21st Theater Sustainment Command executes mission command of operational sustainment across the European theater; conducts reception, staging, onward movement and integration; executes theater opening, theater distribution, and theater sustainment in support of U.S. European Command and NATO operations; and, as directed, executes joint security and support to U.S. Africa Command operations.
