Wisconsin Guard’s ‘Iron Brigade’ installs new leader
Col. Paul Gapinski receives the colors of the 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade from 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. Gapinski follows Col. Eric Leckel, who most recently led the brigade headquarters on a deployment to the Horn of Africa. Wisconsin National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Katie Theusch
