Col. Christopher Roscoe and Command Sgt. Maj. Bryan D. Kroontje were handed the 405th Army Field Support Brigade command team reigns from Col. Ronald L. Green and Command Sgt. Maj. Jesse L. Sharpe during a change of command and change of responsibility ceremony held July 12 at Armstrong’s Club on Vogelweh.
Maj. Gen. Patricia E. McQuistion, commanding general of the U.S. Army Sustainment Command, returned to her previous duty station to officiate the ceremony.
“It’s great to be back in Kaiserslautern, Germany,” McQuistion said. “Colonel Chris Roscoe and Command Sergeant Major Bryan Kroontje are no strangers to U.S. Army Europe and the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, but commanding the 405th AFSB will definitely be a different perspective for you and a great opportunity for all your experience as you assume the command team mantel together again.”
As the outgoing command team, Green and Sharpe both attributed the success of the 405th AFSB to the people who worked under their leadership.
“As Gen. (Creighton) Abrams taught us, people are not in the Army, they are the Army. These last two years as the brigade commander, have only affirmed that not only our Soldiers, but also our Department of the Army and local national civilians remain our greatest strength. Men and women who are willing to put their heart and soul into accomplishing a mission are absolutely essential,” Green said.
Roscoe, the incoming commander, has served more than 25 years in the U.S. Army. He previously served as the 21st TSC distribution management chief and the support operations officer in charge of the Current Operations Integration Cell.
“I am proud to be joining the Army Materiel Command team. I hope to make the organization proud. I look forward to working with the 21st TSC, USAREUR and the U.S. Army Africa Command, and I think it’s going to be a great term,” Roscoe said.
“Command Sgt. Maj. James E. Spencer and I know that you are the absolute right team to take this command to the future, to build on its past successes and take it to new heights,” McQuistion said.
