Connecticut National Guard senior leaders visit Task Force Iron Gray in Djibouti
Maj. Gen. Francis Evon, The Adjutant General, Connecticut; Command Sgt. Maj. Roger Sicard, State Command Sergeant Major; and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Brian Erkson, Command Chief Warrant Officer, recognize Task Force Iron Gray Soldiers for their hard work and achievements during the task force’s mobilization to the Horn of Africa during a visit to Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Nov. 24-26, 2021.
During the visit, which occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Connecticut National Guard’s senior leaders awarded several Task Force Iron Gray Soldiers with impact coins for going above and beyond their duty to service. Select Task Force Iron Gray Soldiers also had the opportunity to enjoy Thanksgiving lunch and dinner with the senior leaders.
Although the majority of Task Force Iron Gray derives from the Connecticut Army National Guard, units from Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont are also represented. Maj. Gen. Evon visited each Task Force Iron Gray unit on both Camp Lemonnier and Chabelly Airfield, Djibouti, for a mission set brief and tour of each company’s command post, and to meet with Soldiers.
