The Fort Campbell Warrior Transition Battalion command team, Col. William Howard and Command Sgt. Maj. James Smith, pin the Department of the Army Safety Excellence Streamer to the WTB colors during a ceremony June 5. The Fort Campbell WTB is the first of the Army’s 17 warrior transition units to earn this recognition. Howard explained that it took a lot of work by leaders at all levels, including squad leaders, to maintain the culture of safety that helped the Fort Campbell WTB meet the Army Safety Excellence Streamer requirements. According to the Army Safety Program, eligibility criteria require every WTB Soldier to complete Composite Risk Management training and the Army Readiness Assessment Program within the last 24 months while remaining free of Class A and B accidents for 12 or more months.
