The outgoing 3 Infantry Brigade Commander on Friday 2nd August 2022 handed over office to his successor; Brigadier General AS Bockarie at a ceremony held at the 3 Infantry Brigade Headquarters in Murry Town.
The outgoing Commander, Major General D Alpha received a Quarter Guard Parade after which he officially handed over the 3Brigade flag of office to his successor.
The outgoing Commander also took his successor round to key places in the Brigade Headquarters such as the Brigade multi-purpose complex – which is undergoing construction – and Triple Canopy - an American private security company that provides integrated security, mission support, and risk management services to corporate, government and nonprofit clients – which is located at Murray Town Barracks.
In his statement at the ceremony, Major General D Alpha expressed appreciation to all his officers and men for their enormous support and asked that they support the new Commander and give him their commitment and loyalty. He advised the officers and men of the 3 Infantry Brigade to continue being apolitical and to “bring our ideas and talents to bear in order to create a synergy”.
The incoming 3 Infantry Brigade Commander, Brigadier General AS Bockarie, expressed gratitude to his predecessor for the warm reception and promised to continue his good works. He also urged officers and men of the Brigade to “be part of the solution and not the problem”, saying that his leadership philosophy is humility and iron discipline.
The program ended with a joyful and solemn traditional military procession out of the barracks led by the Military Police vehicle and the outgoing Commander in the back of a pick-up van bidding farewell to his officers and men on either side of the street as his vehicle slowly drives out of the Brigade Headquarters.
The three infantry brigade covers Freetown, Lungi, and Kambia in the North Western region of Sierra Leone.
