CONCORD, N.C. – Capt. Lucas Brown, Concord, N.C. native and commander of the Maneuver Center of Excellence Band, was assigned to Joint Task Force – National Capitol Region in support of the state funeral for President James Earl Carter Jr., from Jan. 1, 2025, to Jan. 9, 2025.
The joint task force led coordination of all military ceremonial support for the state funeral in the National Capitol Region and throughout the state of Georgia. Nearly 400 Fort Moore-based personnel supported the nine-day funeral operation – which officially began New Year’s Day – and worked as part of Task Force-Georgia.
“It has been an unbelievable experience supporting the proceedings for President Carter's final honors,” said Brown, reflecting on his time with TF-Georgia. “I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life.”
Brown was among the approximately 4,000 service members from all branches of the Department of Defense supporting the state funeral through a variety of ceremonial, security, and logistical roles. He is the son of Eric and Blair Brown of Trout Dale, Va.
