For the unit history section of the blog, I am working on a comprehensive list of all the people that have served as Company Commander at the 170th over the years. Use this thread to list who was commanding the unit while you were there. I will start the list off by saying that CPT Franck Trainor was the Commander while I was there (1991-1992). I also know that CPT Trainor had replaced CPT John Leggett and he was followed in 1992 by CPT Kyle Nickerson. Please add your CO to the list.

CPT Nickerson was followed by CPT Saul Bracero, July 93 - May 95. CPT Wilson took command next.

Will you be putting up a 1SG list as well?

Angela,
A 1SG list is a good idea too. I will start another thread for that list.

I got a letter yesterday from Thomas Banasik. He was the first Commander of the 170th after the move from the Presidio to Fort Lewis in 1984 (7/84-9/85). He is now a Colonel, getting ready to retire in a few months.

I arrived in 88 and Capt. Brown was there followed by Capt. Leggett.

CPT Volkman took command during my time there. I liked him. He left us alone and had sense.

I am putting the Company Commanders page up on the website tonight. It is still not very complete but it is a fair start. Keep posting them here if you know of any others not mentioned yet.

CPT Boutelle was the CC from at least DEC 01 to the spring of 02... Sorry, I don't have more specific dates.

I think Tessman came after him.
