U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern welcomes senior enlisted leader
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – During a Sept. 30 change of responsibility ceremony at Kleber Kaserne, Command Sgt. Maj. Gene Canada assumed the role of senior enlisted leader at U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern.
Several senior leaders from Army and Air Force units in the Kaiserslautern Military Community attended the event, as did Col. Bryan DeCoster, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg.
The highlight of the ceremony, held at the post gymnasium, was the traditional passing of the noncommissioned officer sword. Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, thrust the blade toward Canada – pausing momentarily for serious, yet, softly spoken words.
“The NCO chain of responsibility and the role of the NCO is something that every military in the free world emulates,” Zetterstrom said, during his remarks. “It’s truly the backbone of the Army and what makes our Army great.”
Taking that responsibility in Kaiserslautern will be the most rewarding and challenging job in Canada’s career, he said during his remarks.
“This responsibility is not only to Soldiers, but to their families and this great community,” Canada said. “This job comes with the inherent responsibility to look past excuses and simply provide the best support…as well as form and sustain strong relationships between all organizations within the KMC.”
Canada, a native of Austin, Texas, began his career 24 years ago as an ammunition specialist. He’s since held every leadership position from squad leader to command sergeant major. In addition to completing all levels of the Noncommissioned Officers’ Education System, Canada also holds a degree of Business Administration from Columbia Southern University.
Canada arrived recently from the 4th Sustainment Brigade (Provisional), at Fort Hood, Texas, where he also served as command sergeant major.
Early in his career, Canada was assigned to the Kaiserslautern area, serving at Camp Dahn, not far from Pirmasens. He’s also served overseas in Italy, Kosovo and Korea. Canada deployed three times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Master Sgt. Kenneth Wilson has served as acting command sergeant major following the July departure of Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Jessup. Wilson will now serve in the garrison’s public works directorate.
“The firsthand knowledge and experiences I have gained from the position will stay in my tool bag throughout the rest of my career,” Wilson said.

FORT HOOD, Texas – More than 150 Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) set foot on American soil after more than nine months conducting sustainment operations throughout Southwest Asia in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Distinguished visitors such as Maj. Gen. Peter S. Lennon, commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, and local celebrities like Elizabeth Laird, Fort Hood's “Hug Lady,” welcomed the troops as they disembarked an Omni International Boeing 777-200ER commercial jetliner and entered the military passenger terminal at Killeen/Fort Hood Regional Airport on that unusually cool May 14 morning.
During his welcome brief Lennon complimented on the 143d ESC's ability to overcome numerous challenges and complete a complex operation that required the coordination of dozens of units conducting various missions in Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Romania and Kyrgyzstan. He also expressed his gratitude for the cooperation that solidified between the unit's cross level Soldiers and those troops organic to the 143d ESC. Lennon concluded his speech by presenting nearly a dozen Soldiers with his unit's signature coin.
Later that day Soldiers from the 143d ESC's rear detachment in Orlando, Fla., hosted a Welcome Home Warrior Citizen Ceremony at South Fort Hood. The group presented their deployed counterparts with a “Welcome Home Warrior Citizen” coin, flag, lapel pins as well as an encased American flag.
The 143d ESC rear detachment will continue supporting their redeployed comrades as they complete the demobilization process at Fort Hood and return home to their friends and loved ones later this month.
The 143d ESC stands as the last command of its kind to deploy to a combat zone. It currently has command and control of more than 10,000 Soldiers hailing from 92 units across seven Southeast states.

Me, on the Captain's Chair, located at the Bridge. The Captain was not using his chair at the time. At the USS Lexington (CV-16).
The USS Lexington (CV-16) is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. Launched and commissioned in 1943, she was designated as an aviator training carrier in 1962, first as CVT-16 and later as AVT-16. She was retired in 1991 and brought to Corpus Christi, Texas, to serve as a floating museum. Her surviving sister ships USS Yorktown (CV-10), USS Intrepid (CV-11) and USS Hornet (CV-12) carry lower pennant numbers, but USS Lexington was laid down and commissioned earlier, making her the oldest remaining fleet carrier in the world. I visited this ship on April 20, 2021.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hundreds of service members and veterans accompanied by their friends and loved ones gathered at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando Dec. 16, 2017 to celebrate the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)’s inaugural Maj. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat Victory Ball.
Previously dubbed the Lt. Gen. (Retired) Jack C. Stultz Military Ball, Stultz and the 143d ESC command team agreed to rename the ball in honor of Espaillat, a former 143d ESC commanding general who passed away April 8 while assigned as general officer support for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
“Espaillat was a friend, leader and inspiration to us all,” said Brig. Deborah L. Kotulich, commanding general, 143d ESC. “We are honored that his family accepted our invitation to join us as we dedicate this evening to a fine Soldier, model citizen and loving father who served his adopted nation with distinction for nearly 35 years.”
The Ball featured several distinguished guests to include Kotulich and Command Sgt. Maj. Carlos Lopes, command sergeant major, 143d ESC. Seated next to them was Maj. Gen. Steven W. Ainsworth, commanding general, 377th Theater Sustainment Command.
The evening presented a unique opportunity for Soldiers and civilian employees assigned throughout the Command’s vast area of operations don their suits, gowns or dress uniforms and surround themselves with new and familiar faces in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The guests upheld American military tradition by conducting classic ceremonial functions such as the presentation of the colors, singing the national anthem, and offering toasts dedicated to the Soldiers, families and fallen heroes of the United States Army.
Pride and patriotism gave way to somber reflection when a spotlight pierced the dim ballroom to illuminate a small candlelight dinner table that epitomized all American prisoners of war as well as the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Lopes concluded the melancholy affair when he silently marched to the table of Margaret Good Espaillat, widow of the late Francisco Espaillat. Lopes led the Gold Star Mother to the POW and Fallen Soldier Table where together they lit the lone candle that would flicker brightly for the remainder of the evening.
Ainsworth and Kotulich took their turns at the podium to express their gratitude to the people who planned, organized, sponsored and supported the event. The commanding generals also commended their guests for their service, support and sacrifice as the 143d ESC prepares for next year’s deployment.
“All of us look up to someone, and someone always looks up to us,” said Ainsworth. “Your words and actions can very well change the course of another’s life. Demonstrate the qualities that you expect from your mentors, and take the time to ‘take a knee’ by spending quality time with your friends and family. Without their love and support, the Army Reserve would simply cease to exist.”
The Ball officially concluded with a hardy rendition of the Army Song and a rhythmic performance of the “Atropia Rap,” an original ballad penned by the command’s support operations team during an intense, three-week training exercise at Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pa. The departure of the official party did not deter many guests from remaining in the ballroom to take photos, show off their favorite dance moves, or share fond memories with old friends while sipping their favorite beverage.
“This event personifies the 143d ESC,” said Kotulich. “This command is more than a premiere logistics unit. It’s a community of caring individuals dedicated to the success of its Soldiers and their families.”
