10th Mountain Division commander reflects on Sept. 11 legacy
Maj. Gen. Scott Naumann says the 10th Mountain Division’s post-Sept. 11 deployments shaped his military career and remain part of the division’s history.
Maj. Gen. Scott Naumann, commander of the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, is reflecting on the division’s history as the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks approaches.
The division was among the first U.S. units to deploy to Afghanistan after the attacks and continued deploying during two decades of operations that included Iraq. The final drawdown from Afghanistan took place in August 2021. Naumann previously served with the 10th Mountain Division from 2015 to 2018 as commander of the first Brigade Combat Team and as division chief of staff.
