FORT CARSON, Co. –Soldiers with 32nd Composite Truck Company, 68th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, departed 21 Apr. from the Arrival Departure Airfield Control Group, (ADACG), in Colorado Springs to Kuwait for a nine month deployment.
The 32nd will be supporting 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team “Iron Brigade”, 4th Infantry Division, by moving supplies from the ports throughout the area of operations, said 1st Sgt. James Wagoner, first sergeant, 32nd CTC.
“Our Soldiers are well prepared for this deployment,” Wagoner said. “We’ve completed three gunneries, conducted Combat Life Saver training, lots of driver’s training, and multiple field exercise.”
During this deployment, the 32nd CTC will also provide vehicle maintenance and transportation mission command assistance besides transporting ammunition and supplies.
This will be the second deployment to Kuwait for the 32nd CTC in since 2014, with a nine month deployment to Europe that happened in 2017.
“These Soldiers are ready to go,” said Capt. Jennifer Weaver, commander, 32nd CTC. “This is what we trained for. We made sure that everything we did set us up to have a successful deployment.”
Due to a left wrist injury 1st Sgt. Wagoner will be deploying later this year. Sgt. 1st Class Nicholas Krause will be filling the role of company first sergeant until Wagoner joins them.
“We have a great group of senior leaders that are good at making sure the mission gets taken care of,” Krause said. “They have equipped our Soldiers with the knowledge necessary to be successful and that helps make my job easier.”
