The intense and challenging footmarch covers a marathon’s length of sandy, mountainous terrain in honor of the World War II heroes who defended the Philippine Islands of Luzon and Corregidor. Tens of thousands of these brave Soldiers, Sailors and Marines were forced on a 61-mile march by their Japanese captors, with more than 11,000 men dying. It was in remembrance of these fallen comrades and their sacrifice that the Soldiers from the 95th CA Bde. (A), participated in the march. |

(USASOC News Service, March 25, 2010) – The change of command for the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment took place beneath the moss-draped trees of Forsyth Park at 4 p.m. on Mar. 18.
Dignitaries, guests and those passing by watched as outgoing commander, Col. Brian Mennes, turned over his command to Lt. Col. Michael Foster during the colorful ceremony. Col. Mennes has deployed twice since taking command of the battalion on July 1, 2008. He said that leaving his family of Rangers was a bittersweet transition for he and his wife and children. “This is the best job in the world in one of the best towns in the world,” he said. He also acknowledged great things ahead in his new job as a brigade commander at Fort Bragg. “It’s a great day to move forward,” he said. But it’s been a joy to serve with these men. They define what selfless service looks like. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time to spend with them.” Now the opportunity to spend time with the Rangers belongs to the battalion’s current commander, Lt. Col. Michael Foster. |  |
