CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq — Soldiers of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Special Troops Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, gathered to welcome a new commander and to bid farewell to its outgoing commander Sept. 2 at Memorial Hall on Contingency Operating Base Adder, Iraq.
Capt. Tracet T. Bradley, the outgoing commander for HHC, STB relinquished command of the HHC to Capt. Monte L. Tartt, a Flint, Mich., native.
Lt. Col. John Hickey, commander of STB and an Alexandria, Va., native, officiated the ceremony. In his remarks, Hickey thanked the outgoing commander for her service and welcomed the incoming commander to his new position.

“I feel we have helped and watched each other develop and grow,” Bradley said. “This deployment has been an enriching challenge for all of us. Capt. Tartt, best wishes to you in your command. You are exactly what the team needs, carrying on the Michigan legacy for three commands.”
Standing proudly in front of the soldiers of the HHC, Tartt thanked his wife, 1st Lt. Lucia Tartt, for her unwavering support and extended his thanks to the soldiers that he is now charged to lead.
“Thank you for your disciplined participation in today’s ceremony,” Tartt said. “I am both proud and humbled to serve as your commander.”
