529th CSSB ends mission in Poland
The Virginia National Guard’s Virginia Beach-based 529th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion conducts a transfer of authority ceremony with the Georgia National Guard’s 110th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion Nov. 6, 2024, in Zagan Palace in Zagan, Poland.
“Task Force Cavalier, the day has finally arrived for us to hand over this mission,” said Lt. Col. Carlos Maldonado, commander of TF Cavalier. “While January 28, the day we left Virginia, seems like a lifetime ago, it also feels like time flew by. I cannot express how grateful I am to you for making this an absolute success for the 529th as we continue to add to the history of our unit and the Virginia National Guard on NATO’s Eastern Flank.”
The 529th took responsibility for logistics, maintenance, and supply missions based at Forward Operating Site Karliki, Poland, in March 2024 and acts as the headquarters element for Task Force Cavalier. They oversee operations and training for more than 550 Soldiers from four different subordinate units from active-duty Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard.
Conducting the TOA at Zagan Palace symbolized the TF Cavalier commitment to community involvement during their deployment.
“I am especially proud of our community engagements, conducting visits to schools, orphanages and participating in local events and festivals, Maldonado said. “TF Cavalier took our role as a part of the Zagan community seriously and enjoyed interacting with the Polish people and Polish Army, who were always respectful, kind and helpful. I am especially proud of TF Cavalier supporting flood response operations in September, further cementing the trust and friendship that we have built with the town of Zagan.”
