On May 9, 2018, the 644th Regional Support Group (RSG) from Fort Snelling, Minn., furled its unit colors to signify the end of its mission within the Mobilization and Deployment (MaD) Division at Fort Bliss, Texas. During the transfer of authority ceremony, the 210th Regional Support Group (RSG) from Puerto Rico resumed the mission throughout the upcoming year.
The ceremony began with 644th RSG and 210th RSG Soldiers forming in the front of the room. Chaplain (Capt.) Bradley Wysomierski, 644th RSG Chaplain, opened the ceremony with an Invocation, which was followed by Sgt. First Class Joanne Makay singing the National Anthem.
At that time, Col. Dominic Wibe, 644th RSG commander, and Sgt. Maj. William Dullea, 644th RSG acting Command Sgt. Maj., cased the 644th RSG unit flag. Immediately after, Col. Javier Rivera, 210th RSG commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Mario Canizales, 210th Command Sgt. Maj., uncased the 210th RSG unit flag.
Col. Steven Murphy, Fort Bliss Garrison Command, was the first to share remarks with the group. To the Soldiers of the 644th RSG, Murphy expressed gratitude to each and everyone, including family members, for dedicating the time to be at Fort Bliss throughout the last year. “Thank you for the job you did in the last year. You set the standard as the RSG for the mobilization mission,” he said. “The role you played was critical and the way you did it was phenomenal.”
Col. Murphy referenced the number of Soldiers the 644th RSG processed through MaD in the last year, being more than 60,000. Regarding the 644th RSG’s leadership throughout and the role in Fort Bliss’ expansion as the Mobilization Support Force, he said, “I saw the breadth and depth of what you did was fantastic.”
Col. Murphy equally welcomed the 210th RSG for the upcoming year and stated confidence in their success as well. “Thank you for being a part of the mobilization and demobilization mission. I am honored to be a part of your team.”
Col. Wibe then provided remarks, explaining the 644th RSG’s mission throughout the past year was nothing short of “enterprise accomplishments” and that each and every Soldier has a significant role in the success of the mission, each and every one is important. “You took ownership of every task, to the lowest level. You did your piece and you did it well,” he said. “The 210th RSG will take this mission and move it forward.”
Final remarks from Col. Rivera, “The 644th RSG has set the standard.” He explained the 210th RSG is ready to take on the mission at MaD.
Chaplain (Maj.) Luis Cardoza, 210th RSG Chaplain, provided the Benediction and the ceremony was then complete with the singing of the Army song.
