The handover ceremony was attended by chief sergeants of brigades subordinated to the corps, the Chief Sergeant of the Air Assault Forces Command, and Colonel Yevhen Lasiichuk, commander of the 7th Rapid Response Air Assault Corps.
“A sergeant is the link between a soldier and a commander, a leader on the battlefield, a professional who implements new experience. The sergeant corps is the foundation of combat capability for the Air Assault Forces and the Armed Forces as a whole. A sergeant is the right hand of the commander, whether a platoon leader or a corps commander. We are all part of one system, and this system must only be improved,” emphasized Colonel Yevhen Lasiichuk.
