    In a traditional ceremony, Maddox received the colors from Maj. Gen. Darrell K. Williams, commanding general, 1st TSC, signifying he accepted responsibility and authority of the battalion.

    Williams presided over the ceremony and thanked Lt. Col. David W. Seed, outgoing battalion commander, for his commitment and service to the 1st TSC. He also recognized Seed’s wife, Julie, for her continued support and dedication to the Soldiers and Families.

    “Dave, you can be justifiably proud of the legacy of support that you are leaving behind, confident that you have left the unit better than you found it, and that you have created a launching pad for this unit to reach even greater heights,” said Williams.

    In welcoming Maddox, Williams recognized his knowledge, leadership characteristics, and experiences. He challenged Maddox to carry on the battalion’s success.

    “Landis, you have my full faith and confidence as you take this unit forward and build the next chapter of our illustrious history. I welcome you and your family to the First Team. I wish you the best of luck and I know that you will be a great commander for the Gladiator battalion,” said Williams.

    Maddox expressed his gratitude and said he looks forward to leading the battalion, and serving as a member of the First Team and its proud heritage.

    “To the Soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and officers in the formation - you look great and I look forward to the days ahead … Sir, Gladiator Six signs on,” he said.
