This is Part 2 of my interview with Army Brigadier General (Ret) Chris Petty.  After leaving the Active Duty Army in 1991, Gen Petty joined the Colorado Army National Guard and took command of C Company, 1/131st Aviation Regiment in Eagle, CO.  That unit ran the High Altitude Aviation Training Site or HAATS.  In 1994, he moved to Buckley Air National Guard Base and assumed command of A Company, 2/135th Aviation Battalion.  After getting promoted to Major in 1996, he became the Battalion Assistant S3.  After 18 months, he was reassigned to become the Deputy Commander of the Colorado Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Response Team, which was later renamed to the Civil Support Team (CST).  After two years, he left to go back to the Guard and took over as the 2/135th Battalion S3.  His next assignment was as the Headquarters Commandant of the Joint Force Headquarters of Colorado.  Later, he assumed command of 2nd Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment and in 2006, he led the Battalion’s deployment to Balad, Iraq, supporting Joint Special Operations Command.
