This June, Ridgewood native Kimberly Daub was selected to serve as commander of the 101st Sustainment Brigade “Lifeliners” 101st Airborne Division, becoming the first female brigade commander in the history of the division.

In accepting the position, Daub also became the first female brigade commander at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

“It’s a true honor and a pleasure to be a commander,” said Daub on a phone call from Fort Campbell. “It’s an extremely tough cut to be selected for a brigade command and not many people get this honor. It’s a privilege to lead soldiers.”

Daub graduated from Ridgewood High School in 1985 and began her career in the Army with a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship to Bucknell University.

Daub’s mother, Jaye Parsons, said her decision to do ROTC fit with her daughter like “a piece in a puzzle.”
