As part of the traditional ceremony, Col. Scott Horrigan, USAG Italy\u2019s commander, passed the unit colors to Moreno, who\u2019s wife and son were watching via livestream from South Carolina.<\/p>\n

During his remarks, Horrigan spoke of uncertainty a leader has when taking a garrison position. He stressed that Moreno was chosen by his ability to lead and how pivotal that is for a garrison.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe infrastructure that Installation Management Command delivers is why the Army has a home in Italy, the services are why it feels like a home, and the people who work in the garrison are why we are a community,\u201d said Horrigan said.<\/p>\n

Prior to assuming responsibility Moreno visited garrison directorates with the help of Command Sgt. Maj. Jonathan Dyon, the former senior enlisted leader who went on to serve in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Moreno, a Puerto Rico-native who has served in the infantry since joining the Army in 1995, thanked his family for all their support, and looks forward to them joining him in Vicenza soon.\u00a0Moreno expressed gratitude to those that helped him achieve this milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your trust and confidence in me to lead this fine garrison,\u201d Moreno said. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to working with you and these two years are going to be amazing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
