New commander takes reins at Del. Army Guard

WILMINGTON, Del. — An Iraq veteran is in command of Delaware's Army National Guard after an emotional ceremony marking the formal retirement of his predecessor.

Brig. Gen. Terry Wiley formally turned over his command Sunday to Brig. Gen. Scott Chambers after four years in charge.

Gov. Jack Markell presented Wiley with an honorary promotion to major general during the ceremony.

Wiley served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. He was wounded in a rocket attack, but stayed in the country and returned to his unit. He had been in the Delaware National Guard since 1975.

Chambers served in Iraq from December 2008 to September 2009 as commander of a signal brigade running communications in the war theater. He took over last month but a snow storm delayed the ceremony.
