Army South Bids Farewell to Senior Enlisted Leader, Welcomes New Leadership

U.S. Army South (USARSOUTH) marked a significant leadership transition during a change of responsibility ceremony as the command bid farewell to Command Sgt. Maj. Ronald J. Graves and welcomed Command Sgt. Maj. Eric B. Olsen as the new senior enlisted advisor, at the Fort Sam Houston Theater, here, Oct. 24. “As an organization, we routinely find ourselves in a state of transition. Although these ceremonies can be bittersweet, they are just a normal part of life that maintain the strength of our Army,” said Maj. Gen. Philip Ryan, the USARSOUTH commander. “Here at Army South, it is critical that we adapt to change as we work with partners in Central and South America and the Caribbean to address our numerous challenges in an increasingly important part of the world.”
