4th ID, yuck.

But I guess it is an upward movement for him.

Does this mean Miller will now run ISAF SOCOM ?

4ID is a long way from the Ranger Regiment, which is what he was commanding when I first met him.

His third star is more or less guaranteed now, though I'd retire if given the command. I'm sure someone has had a positive experience with 4th ID....I just haven't met them.

Good, hopefully he can make some positive changes over at Fort Carson. For the most part having to dealing with someone wearing the Ivy patch is another day of one's patience being tested, especially when I was working over at NORTHCOM and the 4th ID augmentees would show up 2 hours late for mission.
