Very surprised to see a woman being elevated under this administration. She must have absolutely exceptional credentials for that to happen.
Given she seems to have been around SOF for a while, is there anything public about units that CSM Naumann served in prior to these senior roles?
I’m not surprised. She earned it. Nothing DEI about her at all. Shame on you for thinking the only way a woman can achieve is by it being handed to her.
Enlisted in the Army in 1996 after earning a dual-major degree in American Studies and Government from the College of William and Mary….As a sergeant at age 25, Naumann was NCO of the Year in the 101st Division….After SOC training, Naumann had assignments to special mission units and completed 14 deployments throughout Central Command and Africa Command.
Jack, look at her bio on any of the public facing DOD websites… It takes about 2 seconds to track down.
