Congrats to Alumnus Terrence P. Wright ‘15 on his Change of Command Ceremony Congratulations to Captain Terrence P. Wright (US Army, Military Intelligence) ‘15. On August 10, 2023, he was celebrated with a Change of Command Ceremony after serving as the Detachment Commander for Bravo Detachment, 125th Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Battalion, 25th Infantry Division for 15 months at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. A change of command ceremony is a long-held military tradition. The ceremony is a symbolic passing of responsibility, authority, and accountability from one commanding officer to another. It is often the last time the unit sees the outgoing commander. Captain Wright led the unit through a year long training cycle including a two month rotation to the Philippines. During his farewell speech, Terrence attributed his ambitions to a “Standard of Excellence” that was instilled in him as a Cadet during his time at Hampton University. Terrence will continue his military service at Fort Dix, New Jersey serving as an Intelligence Observer Coach Trainer for the next two years.
