NY Army National Guard announces soldier reenlistments and promotions

LATHAM — Major General Anthony P. German, the Adjutant General, announces the recent reenlistment of members of the State National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve community, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard.

Staff Sergeant Brian Lucas from South Dayton has reenlisted to continue service with the Company A, 642nd Support Battalion.

Staff Sergeant Matthew Goodwin from Dunkirk has reenlisted to continue service with the Company A, 642nd Support Battalion.

“New Yorkers count on our Citizen Soldiers to be ready and be there when disaster strikes,” German said. “And our nation counts on our Soldiers when duty calls for overseas service. I congratulate our members for choosing to stay in service and striking that balance between military duties, education or employment commitments and family obligations.”

“Every one of the men and women serving in our 16,000 strong Army and Air National Guard plays an important role and these Soldiers who continue to reenlist provide experience and continuity for whatever challenges lay ahead for our New York National Guard family.”

Major General Ray Shields, the Adjutant General for the State of New York, announces the promotion of members of the New York Army National Guard in recognition of their capability for additional responsibility and leadership.

Kyle Heitzenrater from Gowanda and assigned to the Company A, 642nd Support Battalion received a promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Johnathan Pritt from Fredonia and assigned to the 152nd Engineer Support Company received a promotion to the rank of Private.

Army National Guard promotions are based on overall performance, attitude, leadership ability, and development potential.

These promotions additionally recognize the best qualified Soldiers and attract and retain the highest caliber Citizen Soldiers for a career in the New York Army National Guard.
