Chaney’s promotion ceremony March 6 included the oath after his wife and children pinned his new insignia on his uniform. He has served as the CENTCOM Regional Operations director at USASAC for two years. The foreign area officer will receive a new assignment soon. [photo by Terri Stover, USASAC Public Affairs]
