FORT KNOX, Ky. – During a formal ceremony at V Corps’ headquarters, U.S. Army 1st
Sgt. Marcus Aaron transferred the responsibilities of the Signal Intelligence and
Sustainment Company, known as SISCO, to 1st Sgt. Tammy Aherns in a change of
responsibility ceremony, Nov. 7.
The change of responsibility ceremony, a time-honored military tradition, serves as an
important moment to acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices of both the outgoing
and incoming leaders. The ceremony was attended by senior leaders across V Corps,
as well as members of SISCO, marking the occasion with a sense of pride and
camaraderie.
Aaron assumed responsibility of SISCO in November 2022 and played a crucial role in
leading and developing the Soldiers in the unit. He ensured operational readiness while
supporting the corps’ mission, by refining the rear command post during command post
exercises that culminated with Warfighter 24 earlier this year. Under his leadership,
SISCO supported V Corps’ success across the European theater. Aaron’s tenure
focused on Soldier development, disciplined leadership and fostering teamwork, all of
which enabled the unit to thrive under challenging conditions.
Reflecting on his time in the corps, Aaron said, “To every Soldier and civilian that I have
the pleasure of working with, you have been an inspiration to me. I hope that you have
gained as much knowledge from me as I have from you during our time in the corps. I
strove to be a servant leader to every one of you, and I hope that my leadership inspired
you to continue to want to grow professionally and personally. I am truly grateful for all
of you.”
Aherns assumed her new role with a wealth of expertise. She has served in leadership
positions within V Corps for the last two years, most recently as the intelligence
operations non-commissioned officer in-charge. Her leadership and commitment to
excellence position her well to lead SISCO as it continues its critical task of supporting
V Corps’ mission. She plans to create a climate in the corps where Soldiers at all levels
can be proud of themselves and their work. She also wants them to have confidence in
themselves and each other.
“I want our Soldiers to know how important their day-to-day mission is. At times it’s
difficult to see our impact, but V Corps has an important role to play in the overall
security of our country and our NATO Allies. As our world constantly changes, our
threat posture continues to ebb and flow. We need to be ready for our worst day, both
as individuals and as a team,” Aherns said.
As Aaron transitions to new responsibilities as the brigade administration non-
commissioned officer in-charge for the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry
Division, and Aherns takes on her new role, SISCO will remain integral to the success
of V Corps. The unit will continue supporting both strategic and tactical operations
across the corps.
