In September 2022, Colonels Ralph and Susan Bukiewicz received farewell orders from the USA Southern Territory. Colonels Bukiewicz has been appointed as National Chief Secretary and National Secretary for Personnel respectively at USA National Headquarters as of January 1, 2023. On the same date, Lt.
