The 3220th United States Army Garrison is a very important part of
Palm Beach County, and members of the unit undoubtedly live within your

During the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, the Garrison, which is a
major subordinate command of the Army Reserve, acted as command and
control for all Army Reserve efforts% in South Florida.

time of need. In the earliest days of Operation Desert Shield, a
"Raging Bull" (mobilization) message was received at 0350 hours on 25

executive order for the presidential call -up. This is why the unit's
motto: "First to Mobilize." During Operation Desert Shield, and the
subsequent Desert Storm, the 3220th served proudly at Fort Stewart,
Georgia acting as garrison, and also playing a pivotal role in the
deployment of units overseas, and arranging for their return after the
war.
Now, on Sunday, June 6, we are having our first change of command
ceremony since these tumultuous events. The outgoing commander, Col.
