Lt. Col. Tommy H. Baker and Command Sgt. Maj. Larry L. Tidwell, command sergeant major, 30th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, Tennessee Army National Guard, case their battalion colors during a transfer of authority ceremony at Contingency Operating Base Q-West, Iraq, July 11, and formally relinquish authority to Lt. Col. Dennis Dockery, commander, 395th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, Army Reserve, and Command Sgt. Maj. Gerry-Jay James, command sergeant major, 395th CSSB. "Providing command and control for the largest battalion within the 16th Sust. Bde., and the 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, has been both tough and challenging," Baker said. "We have conducted over 1,000 convoys spanning more than 2.9 million miles and stretching from Habur Gate [on the Turkish border in northern Iraq] all the way to Camp Buehring, Kuwait. We have sustained the entire Multi-National Division - North with vital logistics for the past ten months. We could not have done this without the dedication of all the Soldiers standing here today."
