U.S. Army Maj. Carla Thorn's promotion to the rank of major was marked by a special moment as her husband, U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Matt Thorn, pinned on her new rank during a ceremony at Camp Rapid, S.D., Dec. 5, 2025. This act symbolized the powerful bond of a military family and a unique partnership that crosses the officer and senior enlisted corps.
Maj. Thorn's promotion is the latest milestone in a career that began in 2007 when she enlisted as a combat medic. Her path to senior leadership highlights a culture of professional development within the South Dakota National Guard, with her assignments including platoon leader, ammunition officer, battalion S-1, operations officer, and culminating in a successful company command. This diverse experience has prepared her to take on future missions with greater responsibility.
