Today’s Soldier in Focus is Capt. Adam Cecil, commander of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, from Chesapeake, Ohio.
A sports fanatic growing up, he played football and ran track at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va.
He is also the son of National Guard retired Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Ceciland. His fellow Soldiers say he always takes charge and wants to make a difference.
Cecil is currently serving his third OIF deployment, and says he feels privileged to work alongside Iraqi Security Forces making great strides in professionalism, tactics and capabilities.
“They are great Iraqi heroes trying to make a difference.”
During this deployment, Cecil is most proud of having initiated governance and security meetings to bring ISF and community leaders together in Beladiyat.
