War Eagles visited by Polish CSM

Oct- 2-2009 » Filed Under: 2nd SCR

Vilseck, Germany – The War Eagles of 1st Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment received a visit recently from the Command Sergeant Major of the Polish Land Forces, Command Sergeant Major Jaroslaw Kolacz.

While in Germany to speak at the Warrior Leaders Course graduation at the NCO Academy in Grafenwoehr, Kolacz took the time out to meet with 1st Squadron’s Command Sergeant Major Jeremiah Inmann. Kolacz spent two days touring the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment . During his visit, Kolacz and Inmann discussed NCO development.

“This was a chance for me to get to know the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment,” Kolacz said. “I wanted to see how they train, develop NCOs and organize training.”

The Sergeant Major was very impressed with what he saw.

“All your training is based on experience and years of service in theater,” he said. “It’s not only theoretical, it’s practical.”

Kolacz said he would like to see many of the techniques and procedures used by 2SCR incorporated into the changing face of his own army.

Kolacz went on to explain that the Polish Land Forces are in a transitional state, transforming from an Army of conscript Soldiers into an all volunteer force earlier this year.

“We are in the process of improving our system,” he said. “If we can solve some problems early by learning from an Army with professional Privates, that makes it all the better.”

Kolacz said he enjoyed his visit to 2SCR and looks forward to Polish Land Forces training alongside the Dragoons in the future.
