U.S. Army Col. Michael Marciniak, the outgoing 60th Troop Command brigade commander relinquished his command responsibility to U.S. Army Col. Jamie Godwin, the incoming 60th TC brigade commander, symbolized by the passing of colors.
Col. Marciniak enlisted in the North Carolina National Guard in 1989 where he served four years as an enlisted Soldier before attending Officer Candidate School, class 37. He earned his commission as an Armored Officer. Col Marciniak has command at all levels of the brigade. He served two combat tours in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and one combat tour in support of Operating Enduring Freedom.
“Maj. Gen. Robert Boyette and the entire command wing, thank you for establishing clear left and right limits that empowered me to lead this brigade with confidence and effectiveness.” Marciniak said, “I truly value your exceptional leadership and resources you’ve provided and the consistent mentorship you offered whenever I sought guidance.”
The successes of the outgoing commander, Col. Marciniak, were also recognized to commemorate the excellent leadership he displayed while commanding Soldiers of the 60th TC through conducting various federal and state missions,reaching record breaking retention numbers within the Recruiting and Retention Battalion and integration of the special forces units within North Carolina.
“Thank you Maj. Gen. Todd Hunt for selecting and entrusting the privilege of commanding 60th Troop Command,” Col. Jamie Godwin said. “I gladly accepted that responsibility and would like to thank the many officers and noncommissioned officers who have made me the leader I am today.”
