Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel R. Gibson, a senior noncommissioned officer assigned to the 224th Military Intelligence Battalion at Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia, has been suspended from his duties following his arrest for allegedly driving under the influence.

According to a spokesperson for the U.S. Army, Gibson was taken into custody by the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office on May 22.

The arrest was confirmed by MyRon Young, a representative for the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), who noted that Gibson’s suspension is pending the results of legal proceedings related to the incident.

“Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel R. Gibson… was arrested by the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office on May 22,” said Young in a statement.

“Gibson has been suspended pending the outcome of his court case.”

Young declined to provide additional information and referred further inquiries to the Army Criminal Investigation Division and the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office.

Attempts to contact Gibson directly have so far been unsuccessful.

Gibson’s arrest has circulated widely on social media over recent days, drawing attention due to his position as a senior enlisted advisor in a critical intelligence unit.

While the Army has acknowledged the arrest and administrative action, it has not disclosed whether Gibson will face any internal disciplinary procedures or how long the suspension may last.

Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Gibson has served in the U.S. Army for over two decades. He began his military career in January 2003 as a human resources specialist.

In 2006, he transitioned to a role as a geospatial intelligence imagery analyst—a field integral to military intelligence operations involving the collection and analysis of imagery data.

Throughout his career, Gibson has distinguished himself through numerous qualifications and commendations.

According to his official biography, he has deployed to Iraq and earned the Combat Action Badge, though the specific timeframe of his deployments has not been made public.

His educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in applied management from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona.

His resume reflects a seasoned and accomplished military leader.

He is a graduate of the Basic Airborne Course and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Language Program Manager Course. His professional accolades include a host of awards and honors typically associated with a senior noncommissioned officer.

These include the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, three Meritorious Service Medals, four Army Commendation Medals, and five Army Achievement Medals.

In addition to those awards, Gibson’s operational decorations include the Iraqi Campaign Medal with three campaign stars, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal.

He has also earned several prestigious badges, such as the Basic Parachutist Badge, the Combat Action Badge, and the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge in Gold.

His leadership and service have also been recognized by his induction as an honorary member of the Sergeant Morales Club—an honor bestowed on noncommissioned officers who exemplify the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and leadership.

He is also a recipient of the Military Intelligence Corps Association’s Knowlton Award, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to military intelligence.

The incident marks a serious setback for a soldier whose career has otherwise been marked by distinction.

As the Army continues to investigate and the legal process unfolds, it remains to be seen what long-term impact this arrest may have on Gibson’s military career and standing within the Army’s senior enlisted ranks.

While the Army has not stated whether Gibson’s suspension could lead to formal punishment or separation from the service, such cases are typically handled with a combination of legal, administrative, and command-level considerations.

For now, Gibson awaits his day in court, and the Army awaits the resolution of a case that underscores the challenges and scrutiny that come with senior leadership roles in uniform.
