As reenactors get ready to close out the 2017 season, Birney’s Division will be seeing some staff rotations. Colonel Neil Shivelle was selected and appointed to the role of Division Chief of Staff just before the conclusion of the 2016 season and has served in that position honorably for 2017 full-time. Col Shivelle will be undergoing some required surgery in early 2018 before the new season starts. Although no complications are expected and a full recovery anticipated, Division leadership would like to ensure Col Shivelle has enough time to fully recuperate without the worries of the administrative and field requirements of this position. All members of Birney’s Division wish Colonel Shivelle best wishes in his upcoming procedure and hope he makes a quick and full recovery and thank him for his countless hours of service to Birney’s Division as Chief of Staff.
On behalf of Birney’s Division Commanding General Michael Maffei, we are pleased to announce that General Baltzer has made his recommendation to General Maffei with regard to the new Chief of Staff appointment transitioning to the post effective immediately. Major Trent Boham has been selected and assigned to serve as the new Birney’s Division Chief of Staff with a promotion to the rank of Colonel. Trent has been active in Birney’s Division for many years and in a variety of capacities. As the dynamic and active organization of the Division as a whole has changed considerably over the past year, Trent is the right choice at this time to serve in this capacity in the best interests of the organization.
Congratulations to both Colonel Boham on his new position!
