Repass, a West Virginia native and a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, was serving as the deputy commander of Special Operations Command-Europe, in Stuttgart, Germany, prior to being tapped to lead the SF command.
"I am humbled to be in command of the new legends of our regiment," said Repass, who counts among his awards one Legion of Merit and two Bronze Star Medals.
"I look into the crowd and see a handful of great Special Forces officers, warrants and NCOs with whom I have served," said Repass.
"Many are easily my equal or better, but I happen to be the lucky one standing here."
"I've worked with (Major General) Csrnko twice, and it's an honor to follow in his footsteps," said Repass. "It's great to see your faces, and I'm honored to be your commander. I will always endeavor to remember that much is expected of me in this command."
