    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are cutting a ceremonial cake labeled 'Task Force Steel' at what appears to be a military dining facility. A large formation of soldiers in uniform is seated at tables in the background, observing the ceremony. The cake features red and yellow frosting with military insignia and unit designations.

    Recently promoted Sgt. Timothy Ramon, an ammunition team chief, and 1st Sgt. John Johnson, first sergeant, both of Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, cut a cake together using an authentic 1840's era non-commissioned officer's sword during a ceremony Jan. 16 when 44 sergeants of Task Force Steel were inducted into the non-commissioned officer corps at Contingency Operating Base Speicher, Iraq.
