    CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq – In a brief, outdoor ceremony, the 565th Quartermaster Company, 749th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, transferred authority to the 305th Quartermaster Company Sept. 14.

    “Every mission we’ve asked you to do, you’ve done,” said Lt. Col. Robert Villalobos, the deputy commanding officer for the 4th Sust. Bde. and a Palm Coast, Fla., native. “You’ve shown yourselves to be professional, effective and efficient.”

    Villalobos reminded the soldiers of the 565th QM Company that he spoke at their deployment ceremony last fall, and he congratulated them on their accomplishments over the last year.

    “You’ve been making it happen since the day you got here,” he said. “You’ve done an outstanding job.”

    The 305th QM Company accepted the mission of running various facilities on COB Adder, including the Class 1 yard, the supply support activity center, and the central receiving and shipping point.

    “Long-term, our intention is to leave the country as clean as when we came here,” said Capt. Ervin Williams, the commander of the 305th QM Company and a Blountstown, Fla., native.
