CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq - Soldiers of the 319th Transportation Company, from Augusta, Ga., were awarded the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) shoulder sleeve insignia patch, Aug. 16, to recognize their wartime service in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
Lt. Col. David Scheideler, commander of the 110th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 224th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary),, and Command Sgt. Maj. Edward Andrews, command sergeant major with the 110th CSSB, first presented Capt. Nancy Sison, commander of the 319th Trans. Company, and 1st Sgt. Christopher Herrick, company first sergeant, with their combat patches. The 319th Trans. Company’s unit and combat patches originate from the 143rd ESC.
Each platoon’s command team then patched their squad leaders and Soldiers with the combat patch.
“We have outstanding Soldiers. They’ve worked hard and deserve to wear the 143rd ESC combat patch,” said Sison.
“The combat patch symbolizes you have the experience needed to accomplish great things and handle tougher missions,” said Staff Sgt. Albert Banks, a safety officer with, 319th Trans. Co., and an Orangeburg, S.C., native.
