Lawrence Uchmanowicz - D Co, 165th Military Intelligence Battalion

Lawrence Uchmanowicz isn't a guy you're likely to know. He spent
his early career as an interrogator. As he seasoned into senior
leadership, he deployed as a sergeant major for the 165th MI Bn.
This deployment is unlike any other in modern history Though the
battalion had an infantry company, E Co, 51st, it was D Co, that
made the mark on history. Delta Company was strictly a
counterintelligence asset. Then the Army started changing post
cold-war to de-emphasize the tactical role for CI agents...and
drastically reduce the role of interrogators. This change was
happening rapidly in the summer of 1995. The company of
interrogators was reduced and not back-filling. The interrogator
company was shuttered and it's guidon furled. The remnants of the
company were housed with D Co. Then they deployed...in a way that
was never expected, and never repeated. Larry led the battalion and
is on the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. How cool is this
story. Go ahead and search for Larry Uchmanowicz? You'll find out
right away...ONLY on the Break It Down Show is this story possible.
