Binford takes command of 1st SF Group.(UPDATE)
Hundreds of Green Berets and support Soldiers from the 1st Special Forces Group assembled in formation at Watkins Field, Fort Lewis, Wash., July 16 as two veteran Special Forces officers conducted the group's change-of-command ceremony.
Colonel Randolph R. Binford accepted command of the group from Colonel Eric P. Wendt during the ceremony.
Binford, a native of Texas, comes to the 1st SF Group after serving at the Pentagon in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence since July 2007. Binford was previously a battalion commander in 3rd SF Group.
Wendt has served multiple previous tours in the 1st SF Group, and commanded the group since 2006 as 1st SF Group troops deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines and numerous other countries throughout the Pacific.
In keeping with Army tradition, Wendt handed the group colors and their symbolic responsibility for the unit's Soldiers to Brigadier General Michael S. Repass, commanding general of the U.S. Army Special Forces Command. With a few private words of encouragement, the general then passed the colors to Binford, who ceremonially passed them back to the group Command Sergeant Major Jeffrey Stigall.
During his remarks at the ceremony, Wendt thanked the group's Soldiers for their accomplishments during his command.
