Command Sgt. Maj. Brian Briggs accepted responsibility as the senior enlisted leader of 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, during a change of responsibility ceremony held in Vicenza, Italy, July 21, 2025. Briggs replaces Command Sgt. Maj. Sean Clark, who relinquished responsibility after serving the battalion with distinction.
Clark, a native of Los Angeles, California, enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2002 and deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation European Assure, Deter and Reinforce. His extensive career includes assignments across the 25th Infantry Division, 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division, and Ranger Training Brigade. He is a graduate of Ranger School, Sapper Leaders Course, and the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy.
Briggs, a Scranton, Pennsylvania, native, enlisted in 2004 and brings over two decades of leadership experience across elite units including the Asymmetric Warfare Group, 10th Mountain Division, and 82nd Airborne Division. A combat veteran with nine deployments, he most recently served as the Brigade Operations Sergeant Major for the 173rd Airborne Brigade. He holds a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Scranton.
Briggs is joined in Italy by his son, Nicholas.
The change of responsibility ceremony reinforces the noncommissioned officer role in the U.S. Army and highlights their support to their respective command. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the U.S. Army's Contingency Response Force in Europe, providing rapidly deployable forces to the United States European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility. Forward stationed in Italy and Germany, the brigade routinely trains alongside NATO allies and partners to build readiness and strengthen the alliance.
