SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Chief Warrant Officer 2 Saamon Legoski, 807th Theater Medical Command Legal Administrator, received the State of Utah 2024 Service Member of the Year in the Warrant Officer category on May 12 at the Utah State Capitol building.
Legoski enlisted into the Army Reserve as a behavioral health specialist in October 2008, shortly after graduating high school.
"I joined because I wanted something more," Legoski said.
The mentors and leadership position experiences from the Army Reserve propelled him to graduate from Stanford University with his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2017. Legoski then received his master’s in public health from Harvard University in 2020.
After 14 years as a Behavioral Health Specialist, Legoski assessed into the warrant officer cohort as a legal administrator.
Lt. Col. Jennifer Cave, 807th TMC Staff Judge Advocate and Legoski's supervising officer, received an email from the 807th TMC operations team about the State of Utah’s 2024 Service Member of the Year Award and immediately nominated Legoski for the award in April 2025.
"Chief Legoski has demonstrated exceptional leadership and initiative by establishing a command Investigating Officer training and executing critical annual legal training for the 807th TMC. His operational acumen and dedication to process improvement proved mission-critical, enabling the command to significantly reduce pending legal actions and maintain efficiency during a manpower shortage through proactive problem-solving, talent recruitment, and mentorship," Cave stated.
Legoski's reaction to winning the warrant officer category was one of surprise and honor.
"I had the absolute pleasure of living in a state that I love and being recognized too. That is amazing. It was also a validation that what the Army has molded me into since I joined as an 18-year-old in 2008 is paying off and continues to pay off," said Legoski.
