                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Major General 
Miyako Schanely on her assignment as the Commanding General of the 
416th Theater Engineer Command.
  MG Schanely will lead the 416th Theater Engineer Command in 
conducting theater-level engineer operations supporting a joint force, 
and execute unified land operations while providing a training and 
ready combat-capable force to support mission requirements.
  MG Schanely has had a long history of serving her country. Since she 
received her commission as a Second Lieutenant in 1986, she has served 
in both active and reserve units of the U.S. Army for over 31 years. MG 
Schanely is a graduate of the Army War College and holds several 
civilian master degrees. Previously assigned as the Commander of the 
102nd Training Division, MG Schanely has become the first female 
Japanese American to become commander of the Theater Engineer Command 
as a two-star and is ready to take on the challenges associated with 
this rapidly evolving role.
  On behalf of the 21st District of New York, I would like to 
congratulate MG Schanely on her well-deserved promotion, and wish her 
luck in her new role. I want to thank MG Schanely for her service to 
our country and for the sacrifices she will make in the years to come.
