CSM Savusa will leave his post as the Command Sergeant Major of NATOs International Security Assistance Force and United States Forces in Kabul, Afghanistan.
CSM Savusa will be under the command of Admiral Timothy J. Keating, USN, Commander of USPACOM. He will replace Chief Master Sergeant James A. Roy of the U.S. Air Force.
USPACOM monitors five of the worlds largest armies including: Peoples Republic of China, Russia, India, North Korea, and South Korea. USPACOM is formed by the U.S. Army Pacific, Marine Forces Pacific, U.S. Pacific Fleet, and Pacific Air Forces and is estimated at approximately 250,000 military personnel.
Announcing his appointment, American Congressman Faleomavaega said: I want to congratulate a great American hero and Toa o Samoa, CSM Iuni Savusa, for his new assignment as the Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Pacific Command.
Given that USPACOM is the largest of our unified commands, Iunis assignment as the most senior enlisted soldier at USPACOM speaks volumes of his leadership and trust by our military leaders.
Iuni continues to be an amazing inspiration for many of our troops that serve in all branches of the military today. He has continued to further his military career by taking assignments that require the highest responsibility and the strongest leadership. Iunis experience will prepare him for his new assignment but, more importantly, he will have the opportunity to contribute and to serve our Pacific community. I know that Iuni will serve us well as the U.S. continues to advocate for more U.S. presence and direct dialogue for mutual diplomacy in the Asia and Pacific region.
