Colonel Gus Benton II took the reins of the 3rd Special Forces Group from Colonel Christopher K. Haas during a change-of-command ceremony July 10 on Fort Bragg's Meadows Field.

After having served with the 3rd SF Group for two years and two combat tours to Afghanistan, Haas passed command of the group to Benton in front of the group, its families and several distinguished guests.

Benton, who received his degree from Fort Valley State University as an ROTC distinguished military graduate, comes to the group from being the chief of staff for the U.S. Army Special Forces Command. Prior to that, he was the commander of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd SF Group which he led through two combat tours in Afghanistan.

"It is a great pleasure to pass the group colors to Colonel Gus Benton," said Brigadier General Michael S. Repass, commanding general, U.S. Army Special Forces Command, who spoke at the ceremony.

Benton said it was good to be back in the 3rd SF Group, and that he plans to lead by example.
