MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Sheryl Gordon, a member of the Alabama National Guard for nearly 30 years, has been selected for promotion to become its first female general.

Gordon, who retired recently as an assistant principal at Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, took command Sunday of the 62nd Troop Command in Montgomery, where she started her Guard career.

The unit at Fort Taylor Hardin is the state’s largest with about 5,000 troops.

In taking command, the paperwork process began for her to officially rise to the rank of one-star general.
