Good morning everyone, today the 979 Combat Engineer Company - Armored brings exciting news! Soldiers of the unit earlier this week traveled to Fort Knox to participate in the German Armed Forces Badge (GAFB) event.

With that being said, let us congratulate three Soldiers who have pushed themselves and obtained the right to wear the GAFB!

SSG Harvey, in achieving the second level of the Badge, Silver!

SSG Mason, in achieving the second level of the Badge' Silver!

And lastely, in achieveing the highest level of the GAFB in Gold, a major congratulations to SPC Hollaway!

These three Soldiers have represented the 979 and are an example of determination and motivation. Congratulations again to the three of them!
