AH-64 ● Apache Helicopter Cavalry Charge ● Horse Detachment, 1st Cav Division ● July 2023
Change of Command Ceremony for the outgoing commander Major General John B. Richardson at Cooper Field on July 14, 2023.
Richardson, a 1991 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, leaves the "First Team" after a period of meritorious and selfless service, being a strong proponent of the history and traditions of the 1st Cavalry Division. His unwavering commitment to the Division's mission has guided numerous triumphs and the forging of unbreakable bonds among the Troopers. He leaves the team with his high school sweetheart, Deanie Poitevent, and their two children, Mary Alex and Johnny.
"Two years ago, we laid out a shared vision to build a cohesive team founded on trust that was fit, disciplined, well trained, and viewed with unit pride," said Richardson. "Esprit de corps, along with just a little cavalry panache. Ready to fight anywhere, anytime."
The ceremony included a cavalry charge led by Richardson accompanied by helicopters, presentation of flowers to the spouses, a pass in review, and the singing of "Spirit of the Cav" and the Army Song. The outgoing commanding general also personally sang one of his favorite songs, "I Want to be in the Cavalry," by country and western musician Corb Lund.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I attribute much of the Division's success to the engaged and empathetic leadership of Johnny Richardson," Lt. Gen. Sean C. Bernabe, commanding general of the III Armored Corps and Fort Cavazos. "We've all watched Johnny in action; he is the ultimate team builder. John and Deanie, thank you for your selfless service for the past few years. Well done."
