00:00.840 --> 00:04.350
Eagle Brigade . My name is RJ Hughes

00:05.040 --> 00:07.096
For those that weren't able to be at

00:07.096 --> 00:09.318
the ceremony . I'm your new commander .

00:09.540 --> 00:12.960
As I said in my change of command , I

00:12.960 --> 00:15.500
am both honored and humbled to serve as

00:15.500 --> 00:19.270
your new commander . I've had a very

00:19.280 --> 00:22.480
unique career . 22 years in the service .

00:22.560 --> 00:25.150
I've served as a light combat engineer ,

00:25.160 --> 00:27.790
a mechanized combat engineer , several

00:27.790 --> 00:30.560
years in special forces community Corps

00:30.560 --> 00:32.710
of Engineers and all of that has

00:32.710 --> 00:35.130
brought me to where I'm at now . The

00:35.130 --> 00:37.990
biggest thing that I want to reinforce

00:38.290 --> 00:41.940
to the organization is I believe in

00:41.940 --> 00:44.270
discipline , initiative . I want to

00:44.270 --> 00:47.830
empower down . There is no way we can

00:47.830 --> 00:50.052
accomplish our mission with the massive

00:50.052 --> 00:52.610
amounts of partnerships , mobilization ,

00:52.620 --> 00:55.260
pre mobilization training unless we all

00:55.260 --> 00:57.880
work together and we trust one another

00:58.010 --> 01:00.010
and I know that I have to earn your

01:00.010 --> 01:02.570
trust and today since starting on

01:02.570 --> 01:05.220
