164th Theater Airfield Operations Group / Air Traffic Service Command

A huge mile stone was celebrate today when CPT Snell, the 164th Theater Airfield Operations Group / Air Traffic Service Command S1 OIC got promoted to MAJ.

COL Polen pointed out the the key differences that lie within the two ranks, experience, and scope of responsibility: company grade officers focus on direct, tactical leadership of small units, whereas field grade officers handle larger formations, strategic planning, and broader systems-level thinking.

Following the promotion, COL Polen adminstered MAJ Snell the Oath of Office, renewing his personal commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the nation.

Sir, congratulations!

Weapons PMCS Monday and a little PMI. Building confidence in our weapons systems by implementing some basic M17 knowledge. Thank you to 1LT Knight for taking lead this morning and demonstrating our Junior Soldiers what proficiency looks like.

Talking about starting the week MOTIVATED!

COL Polen recognized CPT Karst on her stellar performance during the CDP Inspection 💪🏼

Also, Soldiers all across TAOG are conducting Driver’s Training this week to add to our overall readiness and ensure our military vehicles are well taken care of and safely operated.

A big shout out to my Motorpool NCOs that coordinated, planned and executed a PMCS class for 110th Aviation Brigade Soldiers. As NCOs, our main role is to train our future generation of War Fighters and ensure they are ready to cary the torch forward!

One way the U. S. Army instills confidence in its Soldiers it’s through hard, realistic training. With this effort in mind and to keep molding our fighting force, HHC 164th Theater Airfield Operations Group / Air Traffic Service Command has initiated the Air Assault Assessment Program led by 1LT Knight and SGT Velez. This morning Soldiers of 164th TAOG went through the packing list, smoke session and a few obstacles to get accustomed with.

Our Soldiers’ dedication is obvious, their strength is growing every day and 1LT Knight and SGT Velez demonstrate the dedication needed to impower these Soldiers with the right knowledge, and confidence to graduate AASLT School.

Also, huge thank you to MAJ Scully for stopping by and bestowing some knowledge!
