The first 602d ASOG Commander was Colonel Charles A. Larson. Subsequent Commanders were Col Stephen Sheehan, Col Stanley Czech, and Col Frederick Zehr. The units of the 602d ASOG deployed to the Operation Desert Storm AOR in 1990/91 and were deactivated shortly afterwards when the VII Corps drew down at the end of the Cold War.
