CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait - New Jersey Army National Guardsmen of the 50th Financial Management Company, headquartered in Flemington, N.J., are preparing to return home after a transfer of authority ceremony held at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, Oct. 31.
Their replacements, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard’s 28th Financial Management Company, headquartered in Lebanon, Pa., raised their state flag at their new command post.
Their commander, Maj. Daneen Hutton, thanked the 50th for their support in the transition process and said she and her team is ready to get started.
“I’m ready to get this show on the road,” said Hutton, an Enola, Pa., resident.
The 50th commander Lt. Col. Robert McGehee, Bethlehem, N.J., told his soldiers of his pride for them and that this deployment may not have been a typical combat deployment, but it was no easier.
“I want to say just how proud I am for all the hard work you have done here,” said McGehee. “I’m sure this won’t be the last time you hear it from me.”
The 28th will continue the work the 50th started with the 38th Sustainment Brigade’s Special Troops Battalion at Camp Arifjan. The 38th Special Troops Battalion commander Lt. Col William Stroup said the 28th will have a legacy of success to live up to.
“You went above and beyond what was expected of you,” said Stroup to the 50th. “You’ve set the bar high and now it’s time to go home.”
