Army Secretary Driscoll Installs His Old Iraq Comrade At Fort Belvoir
Lt. Col. Jeffrey Killian now commands the unit guarding inaugurations, state funerals and Army leaders, alongside Sgt. Maj. Ernesto Urzua.
- Driscoll and Killian deployed together in Iraq eighteen years before this July 10 ceremony.
- Command Sgt. Maj. Ernesto Urzua enlisted at seventeen and now carries nineteen years in uniform.
- The battalion guards presidential inaugurations, state funerals and the State of the Union address.
Why it matters: Eighteen years of friendship, not a promotion board, placed the secretary's old comrade in command of his guard.
