TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. -- Sgt. Maj. Paul A. Watson assumed the duties of depot sergeant major when he recently joined Team Tobyhanna.
As sergeant major, his responsibilities include overseeing mission requirements and quality of life issues here and in the local community. Watson advises the commander on all matters relating to Soldiers, the civilian workforce and their family members. In addition, he serves as the voice of the warfighters who use depot-repaired equipment once it arrives on the battlefield.
"I'm excited to join the depot workforce," Watson said, admitting that he has a lot to learn. "I've been told there's a lot of talented people in the offices and on the shop floor. I look forward to working with all of you."
Prior to his arrival, the senior noncommissioned officer was assigned to the Combined Arms Support Command, Fort Lee, Virginia. Early in his career, Watson trained in field artillery meteorology and later earned the title senior electronic maintenance chief.
This NCO has spent 27 years travelling the world, wherever the Army needed him: Panama, Korea, Germany, four deployments to Southwest Asia, and four stateside assignments.
Tobyhanna Army Depot is a recognized leader in providing world-class logistics support for communications-electronics systems across the Department of Defense. About 3,100 personnel are employed at Tobyhanna, which is located in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania.
