Wisconsin Guard’s ‘Iron Brigade’ installs new leader
In his last act as commander, Col. Eric Leckel passes the colors of the 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade to Brig. Gen. Matthew Strub, Wisconsin’s deputy adjutant general for Army, during a formal change of command ceremony Nov. 4 at the Richards Street Armory, Milwaukee. The passing of the colors is symbolic of the responsibility of the unit passing from one commander to the next. Col. Paul Gapinski assumed command of the brigade.
