Soldiers, Civilians, friends, and Family bade farewell to Command Sgt. Maj. (CSM) Keyne A. Smith, the outgoing command sergeant major of the 11th Cyber Battalion, Leviathans, and welcomed CSM David Herrera Jr., their new senior enlisted leader and ‘keeper of the colors’, in a ceremony hosted by Lt. Col. (LTC) Charles E. Suslowicz, commander of the 11th Cyber Bn., in Darling Hall, October 3.
LTC Suslowicz told the gathering that the Change of Responsibility ceremony was an important day in the history of the 11th Cyber Bn. as it commemorated the extraordinary service of CSM Smith, “who has guided this battalion with an uncompromising commitment to our Soldiers,” and welcomed a new senior enlisted leader, CSM Herrera, who would now take on that “solemn” responsibility.
