Command Sergeant Major Earl Rocca, Jr., marches Soldiers during down time at the weapons qualification range at Camp Atterbury, Indiana.
"Never pass up an opportunity to lead troops," said Rocca. Rocca is the Command sergeant major of the 352nd Civil Affairs Command, based at Fort Meade, Maryland.
Two of his battalions, 412th Civil Affairs Battalion (Airborne) out of Columbus, Ohio, and the 489th Civil Affairs Battalion, based in Knoxville, Tennesse, participated in Vibrant Response 14 at Camp Atterbury in August, 2014.
Rocca stressed the leadership emphasis to all non-commissioned officers and Soldiers preparing to attend the Warrior Leadership Course to get out front and lead troops at every opportunity. Down time between weapons qualification at ranges is ideal.
