Historically , the role of the command
sergeant major is traced back to 15 th
century Europe . The sergeant major in
the early French and English armies had
duties . Mirroring those of the
sergeant major of today , specifically
the supervision of the regiment's non
commissioned officers . Today ,
enlisted soldiers who are selected by
the Department of the Army for
participation in the command Sergeants
major program are the epitome of
success within the profession of arms .
The command sergeant major enforces
standards for the performance training
appearance and conduct of the enlisted
personnel in their charge . The command
sergeant major also provides expert
advice to the commander and staff on
all matters pertaining to the welfare
of soldiers within their unit . Like
the sage of times past , the Command
Sergeant Major's Council is expected to
be calm , settled and unequivocally
accurate , but with an energy and
enthusiasm that never wanes even in the
worst of times .
Ladies and gentlemen , you will now
witness the passing of the battalion
colors from command Sergeant Major
Ingram to command Sergeant Major
Thompson . Since the earliest
chronicles of military history ,
military leaders have used a banner or
some visible symbol to identify
themselves and serve as a rallying
point for their soldiers . The very
soul of the military unit is symbolized
in the colors for which it fights . It
records the glories of the past stands
guard over the present destiny and
ensures inspiration for its future
sacrifices . The custodian of battalion
colors is the battalion command
sergeant major . As you view this
change of responsibility . Remember
that these colors represent not only
the 2 32nd medical battalion but its
soldiers , equipment , materials and a
spirit of corps . It also represents
its history of service , the regiment ,
the army and this great nation , all
others within the organization might
perish but the colors live on as the
colors are transferred . So is the
responsibility for the accomplishment
of the mission and the welfare of the
soldiers of the battalion . The non
commissioned officer in charge holds
the battalion colors symbolizing the
authority of the NCO senior drill
sergeant Helgeson passes the colors to
command Sergeant Major Ingraham
signifying the close working
relationship between the non
commissioned officers of the battalion
and the command sergeant major command
Sergeant Major Ingram passes the cars
to Lieutenant Colonel Gammons
signifying the relinquishment of
command Sergeant Major Ingram's
responsibilities . Lieutenant Colonel
Gammons passes the colors to command
Sergeant Major Thompson charging him
with the responsibility for the good
order and discipline of the unit . Let
it be known on this day , the 25 of
April 2024 the commander of the 232
medical battalion has placed special
trust and confidence in the patriotism ,
dedication , integrity and leadership
ability of command Sergeant Major
Tyrone W Thompson , he is hereby
appointed as the command sergeant major
of the 232 medical battalion . Finally ,
command Sergeant Major Thompson passes
the colors to the non commissioned
officer in charge , completing the
circle and signifying his trust and
confidence in the non commissioned
officer corps .
Ladies and gentlemen , the commander of
the 2 32nd medical Battalion ,
Lieutenant Colonel Jordan P . Gammons .
Good morning command . Our major ,
Leone Colonel Williams Commander Major
Churchill , distinguished guest ,
fellow commanders and command sergeants ,
majors , teammates , family and friends ,
and in particular , the soldiers of the
2 32nd medical battalion . Welcome .
Thank you for joining us today for this
significant event where we pass
responsibility of the battalion from
commend sergeant Major Ingraham to
commence our major Thompson . Please
join me in a round of applause for the
families of commence our major Ingraham
and commence our Major Thompson as the
ceremony and their service would not be
possible without their unwavering
support .
Please also join me in an applause for
the three third , 3 23rd band and
their rendition of the National Anthem
chaplain . Thank you for such a
beautiful blessing over these two
leaders , their families , our
formation and our nation . Please
finally join me in a hearty round of
applause for the finest soldiers in the
United States army . Our combat medics
mighty 232 . You all look amazing .
I'm continually humbled to lead such an
awesome formation . I'm so incredibly
proud of the voluntary commitment that
each of you have made to sustain the
fighting force and to take care of
those who execute the war fighting
mission . You are the center of gravity .
You are the most important aspect of
the war fighter . You are compassionate
but lethal care providers . There is no
greater calling . Each of you represent
the investment that our command art
major has poured into the future of
army medicine . There is no better
display of her success than to see each
of you standing before us command our
major . Ingraham . Take a look at our
formation . I hope you're as proud of
what you've accomplished as I am .
Ladies and gentlemen , the non
commissioned officer is the backbone ,
the heartbeat and the soul of our force .
They're the guardians of tradition ,
the stewards of discipline , the
custodians of excellence with
unwavering dedication and unyielding
integrity . They lead by example ,
instilling in their soldiers , the
values of loyalty , duty , respect ,
selfless service , honor , integrity
and personal courage . They are the
ones who bridged the gap between
officers and enlisted , providing
mentorship guidance and advice to all
who serve under their command . They
are the steady hand that maintains
readiness and the warriors who lead
from the front , fearlessly facing
adversity with courage and
determination . Star major is not just
a rank , it's a sacred trust , a solemn
responsibility and a testament to the
timeless ideals upon which our army
stands . Although I believe it's
important today to talk about the
position of command , art major . I'd
also like to focus on the person in
that position . I often say behind
every uniform is a person and behind
every successful officer is an even
better non commissioned officer . It's
with great pride and admiration that we
honor not only a remarkable leader
today but also a devoted mother , wife
and daughter throughout her tenure ,
commencement major , Laurie Ingraham
has exemplified the very essence of
dedication and passion . Her unwavering
commitment to excellence has not only
elevated our unit but has also inspired
each and every one of us to strive for
greatness in our own endeavors . As a
leader commences our major . Ingraham
has led with compassion , wisdom and an
unyielding sense of duty . She's
instilled in us the importance of
teamwork , resilience and selflessness
traits that are essential in our noble
profession of saving lives and
providing care on the battlefield . But
beyond her exemplary leadership ,
Laurie embodies the true essence of
family values . As a
mother . She has shown us the important
balance of nurturing both her family at
home . Uh and her family within our
ranks with equal care and devotion , a
leader by day and rowdy sports mom by
evening , I've watched Laurie strive to
balance her calling as both a leader of
soldiers with her commitment to loving
and supporting Hayley and Heidi girls .
I don't think you'll ever truly know
how proud , how proud your mom is of
both of you . Commence our major .
Ingram's hats don't just stop at
commence art major and supermom she is
also the doting wife to her battle Boo
Dwight . If you wanna see Laurie's eyes
light up , ask her about her husband
Dwight . Laurie is so grateful for your
tireless support to her , for your
encouragement and for your willingness
to complete home repairs , cook amazing
meals and simply be there to advise her
as she leads formations such as the one
before us right now , Ingraham family ,
you represent the true secret that many
of us know is crucial for our success .
As a military , we cannot do what we do
without the love and support of our
families . So today , as we f uh bid
farewell to commence our major ,
Ingraham , we do so with deep gratitude
for her invaluable contributions to our
unit and to the lives that she's
touched along the way through her
spunky presence and engaged leadership .
You . She will be greatly missed . Her
impact will continue to inspire us as
we carry forward with our mission to
train the finest combat medics in the
military . As we welcome comm Commander
Major Thompson and his family . We'll
strive to emulate the unwavering
dedication , boundless passion and
resent pursuit of excellence that LA is
instilled in . This battalion commands
our Major Ingraham . Thank you for your
self with service for your inspiring
leadership and for the indelible mark
you've left on each of us . May your

sharing your dad with us . I hope that
you understand the magnitude of the
mission that he's been entrusted with .
