A new command sergeant major has been selected for the Kansas National Guard – Land Component.

Command Sgt. Maj. Scott W. Haworth, of Pratt, was named to the position, said Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state’s adjutant general. Haworth replaces Command Sgt. Maj. David Wright, who retired in December. The Land Component is the headquarters of all Kansas Army National Guard units.

Haworth previously was command sergeant major for the 1st Battalion, 161st Field Artillery, and most recently as command sergeant major of 69th Troop Command.

Bunting also said Command Sgt. Maj. James J. Moberly, of Salina, will replace Haworth at 69th Troop Command, which is the brigade headquarters for the Army Guard’s infantry, armor, artillery and aviation battalions.
