First woman takes command of ADA brigade
First woman takes command of ADA brigade
by Spc. Mark Miranda FORT BLISS, Texas (Army News Service, July 24, 2002) -- Col. Heidi V. Brown took command of the 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade July 12 at Fort Bliss, becoming the first woman to take the reins of an ADA brigade. Brown was also the first woman from El Paso, Texas, to graduate from West Point and the first woman to command a Patriot air defense battalion. Brown said she never set out to pioneer the way for women. In fact, she said she looks forward to the time when she can say that being a female combat-arms commander is no longer a novelty. http://www.dtic.mil/armylink/news/Ju...igadecofc.html
