The Secretary of the Army has announced the selection of Scott Stuckey, Junction City, as the Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army for Kansas-West. These representatives are business and community leaders appointed by the Secretary to advise and support Army leaders across the country.

“The selection of Mr. Scott Stuckey as a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army ensures the close bond between Fort Riley and the Flint Hills communities will continue,” said Maj. Gen. John S. Kolasheski.
“Scott’s years of dedication to military-community relations have advanced mutual understanding and cooperation between the region and the U.S. Army. I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Mark Edwards for his years of devoted service as a CASA. Mark is a true friend to the Soldiers, DA Civilians, and Families of Fort Riley.”
