BAGHDAD — The 25th Infantry Division Band, United States Division-Center, welcomed a new commander in a ceremony at Camp Liberty, Iraq, Feb. 23.
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Lisa M. Guynn took command of the unit from outgoing commander, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Joseph W. Parenteau, who, after three years in command, moves on to the United States Armed Forces School of Music at Fort Story, Va., as the chief of doctrine development for unit capabilities and integration.
Guynn comes to the unit from the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career College at Fort Rucker, Ala., where she served as an instructor, after commanding the 399th Army Band, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., from 2007 to 2009.
Guynn holds a bachelor’s in music education from Oklahoma State University and a master’s in clarinet performance from the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver in Colorado.
During the ceremony, the new commander expressed how she felt taking command of the unit during Operation New Dawn.
“It is a special honor, due to the historical significance that is about to take place here in Iraq,” said Guynn. “I look forward to making history with everyone here, supporting you, the great music performers, the best band soldiers in the United States Army.”
She said she looks forward to conducting her duties as commander of the unit, one of the most highly decorated bands in the Army and the fifth that she has commanded.
“I promise you soldiers that I will provide the best leadership, care and concern that you deserve,” said Guynn. “I am very excited to take command of the great 25th Infantry Division Band.”
