Rank: Chief Warrant Officer
From December 2006 to February 2007, Chief Warrant Officer Miller rose to the challenge of replacing the battle group’s Regimental Sergeant-Major, who had been killed in combat. Arriving in Afghanistan on short notice and without the benefit of full deployment training, he immediately found himself involved in intense combat. Throughout this battle and during all subsequent operations, his frontline leadership maintained the battle group’s fighting spirit. Chief Warrant Officer Miller’s ability to quickly and tactfully assume his responsibilities and establish his presence ensured the unit’s continued operational effectiveness.
