“I’d just like to thank the battalions, the battalion command teams that are here,” said Stehle. He also stated to the command team“ You know you’ve done some extremely heavy lifting over these last couple years and you’ve never skipped a beat and never missed an opportunity to take advantage of training or deployment opportunities and it’s been fantastic.” To the incoming coming commanding officer, Col. Ryan E. Scott, Stehle added, “Ryan, the CLR team is ready for you and I have no doubt they’re going to continue to exceed expectations and do extremely well.”
