Mulholland takes command of 7th Special Forces Group a staff report
Col. Sean Mulholland took command of the 7th Special Forces Group on Friday replacing Col. Edward Reeder.
Before taking over the 7th Special Operations Group, Mulholland was the Special Operations Command South Forward commander in Colombia.
The ceremony took place under a slate gray sky on Meadows Memorial Field next to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
Reeder said commanding 7th Group was the highlight of his career.
“To say that you’ve done well is a monumental understatement,” Reeder said. “You are the greatest fighting force on Earth.”
Reeder’s new assignment takes him to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla. where he will become executive officer to Adm. Eric Olson, commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command.
