FORT EUSTIS, Va. --- A third star was not the only thing added to newly promoted Lt. Gen. Maria Gervais’ shoulders during her promotion ceremony June 20, 2021.
Gervais was also welcomed to the U.S Army Training and Doctrine Command as the first woman to lead as the deputy commanding general and chief of staff.
Gen. Paul E. Funk II, TRADOC commanding general, hosted the ceremony welcoming newly promoted Gervais to the team as the 25th deputy commanding general.
“We are making history here today,” Funk stated. “Maria Gervais did not get here by accident; she is what we talk about when we talk about who is managing our great Army!”
This is not her first time serving at TRADOC. Gervais is what Funk described as a “four-time repeat offender at TRADOC.”
“Although I have previously served with the TRADOC family, this is my first time as a member of the Joint Base Langley Eustis and the Hampton Roads community. I will soon start exploring this beautiful and historic region; continuing to foster the strong relationships that have been built before me,” She said.
Gervais’ was surrounded by family at her promotion ceremony with some able to attend in person while others joined virtually.
