  Mr. ANDREWS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary

Army Reserves and served as Battery Commander, Battalion S1, and

  In 1993, Colonel Wolf was recruited by the 308th Military 
Intelligence, MI, Detachment based in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he 
supported the Africa Branch and Executive Support Office at the Defense 
Intelligence Agency, DIA. While assigned, Colonel Wolf served as S3, 
Executive Officer, and Commander. During his command, the unit was 
credited for creating the Iraqi ``55 Most-Wanted'' deck of cards at the 
beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. In 2008, Colonel Wolf 
assumed duties as the Commander of the 3300th Strategic Intelligence 
Group in support of the Defense Counterintelligence & HUMINT Center and 
the National Media Exploitation Center at the Defense Intelligence

  Madam Speaker, Colonel Joal E. Wolf's commitment to the United States 
must be recognized. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and 
thank him for his continued service and dedication to our country.
