CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo—A Transfer of Authority Ceremony for the Liaison Monitoring Team Company of Multinational Battle Group East was held at the movie theater, July 10.
The ceremony featured the casing of the outgoing LMT’s colors and the uncasing of the incoming LMT’s colors. Also, KFOR 12 Soldiers removed the LMT patches from their uniforms and KFOR 13 Soldiers put LMT patches on their uniforms.
Maj. Robert M. Fugere, outgoing commander for the 957th LMT of KFOR 12, had one last piece of advice for the 192d LMT of KFOR 13.
"Be engaging in manner and congenial in disposition," said Fugere, as he passed the mission over to the Soldiers of KFOR 13.
"The training they received in Camp Atterbury, Indiana, and Hohenfels, Germany, has familiarized them with their job and their mission. They are fully prepared for their mission," Col. Francisco J. Neuman, the incoming commander for MNBG E KFOR 13, said.
The LMT mission is to sense the populace to get information on problems and issues that have risen within the municipalities in Kosovo. Teams will go to one of the eight municipalities with an interpreter to speak with the locals on any issues they may have or feel that need to be addressed.
The purpose of their mission is to pass all information gathered from the public and report it back to KFOR in order to provide and maintain a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all the people living in Kosovo, said 1st Sgt. Cesar Rivera, first sergeant for the 192nd LMT.
Within the next few months the members of KFOR 13 LMTs will continue with the professional relationships already formed by their KFOR 12 counterparts as they also form new relationships with people living within the local communities.
