—Brigadier General Steven Traycer

Steven Traycer (February 2, 1965 - November 18, 2017) was a member of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. Traycer served with distinction in the Judge Advocate General Corps, being credited for founding the basic disciplinary process which developed into the current regimental disciplinary process. Traycer additionally served as commander of Bravo Company, Second Battalion.

7th Cavalry Career

Enlistment and 2nd Battalion Service

Traycer enlisted in the 7th Cavalry on the 28th of August in 2009 and graduated bootcamp on the 6th of September. Traycer spent the first month of his 7th Cavalry career in Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion before transferring to Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion where he would remain for the next 2 years.

Traycer distinguished himself for the month of February, 2010 in which he was awarded enlisted trooper of the month.

Traycer became the section leader of Bravo Section, Third Platoon, Bravo Company, Second Battalion on the 17th of June, 2010 at the rank of Corporal. Shortly thereafter in the month of August, then Sergeant Traycer received a battlefield commission to Second Lieutenant and was assigned the Platoon Leader of Third Platoon, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion.

Traycer initially joined the Judge Advocate General Corps as a clerk shortly before his battlefield commission to Second Lieutenant. Traycer's work as a clerk set the foundations for his future career in the 7th Cavalry.

Traycer was appointed as the commander of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion on the 2nd of January, 2011. Traycer would remain as company commander until his discharge on the 30th of July, 2011 at the rank of Captain.

Judge Advocate General Service

Traycer returned to the 7th Cavalry as an attorney for the Judge Advocate General corps on September 6th, 2011.

During his time as a Judge Advocate General clerk, Traycer observed the shortcomings of the then current disciplinary system. These shortcomings included an easily abused punishment system that lacked moderation, impartiality, and due process. With these observations, Traycer devised a disciplinary system that set the foundations in which the modern regimental disciplinary process would evolve from. Traycer's system included the implementation of discipline based on the severity of breach in rules, expressed in the Developmental Counseling Statement, Negative Counseling Statement, and Article 15/UCMJ procedures. Traycer pursued the implementation of this new system for the rest of his time in the Judge Advocate General corps.

Shortly after his assignment as an attorney, Traycer was assigned the Chief Judge Advocate General on October 10th, 2011 and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel shortly after his assignment.

Traycer distinguished himself on the 8th and 9th of October, 2011. Then Lieutenant Colonel Traycer prevented a mass transfer of 7th Cavalry members to a rival clan. Traycer's actions on these two days would earn him the bronze star.

Traycer retired with honors from the 7th Cavalry on the 29th of November, 2013 at the rank of Brigadier General.

7th Cavalry Leadership was alerted to Traycer's passing on the 18th of November, 2017. A memorial was held for Traycer shortly thereafter.

Traycer is primarily remembered for his contributions to the disciplinary process of the 7th Cavalry.

Traycer is additionally responsible for the implementation of due process and fair trial in severe cases, allowing all accused members a chance to defend their positions.

Traycer is additionally remembered by his clerks, attorneys, and close friends for his moral guidance and his kindhearted personality as well as his dedication to his duty.
