In his farewell speech, he first gave gratitude to Lt. Gen. Charles D. Costanza, and then concluded with a heartfelt message to the Division as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cLieutenant General Costanza, thank you for hosting and creating an environment that allows commanders to do what they\u2019re expected: lead, train, and fight,\u201d says Admiral. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to serve with the leaders and troopers of America\u2019s First Team, and I can\u2019t thank you enough for the tremendous effort put forth on a daily basis to be Cav Ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incoming Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Thomas M. Feltey, commissioned as an Armor Officer in 1993. He previously served as an Armor School Commandant in 2021 and more recently as Deputy Commanding General of Operations of III Armored Corps on Fort Cavazos, Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand here this morning excited and humbled to lead the legendary First Team, especially as it continues its mission in assuring our allies and deterring our enemies,\u201d says Feltey during his opening speech. \u201cTo the leaders and troopers of the mighty 1st Cavalry Division, I am honored to be your commander, and I will do my very best to serve you, our families, and our mission. I look forward to getting to know everyone over the months ahead and seeing our Troopers in action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the ceremony, Maj. Gen. Thomas M. Feltey will assume the role of Commanding General of the 1st Cavalry Division and lead the First Team during its European Rotation and participation in several important European exercises in the coming months.<\/p>\n
