Military Officer
West Virginia National Guard
1703 Coonskin Drive
Charleston, West Virginia 25311
Lieutenant Colonel Bob Luther enlisted in the West Virginia National Guard (WVNG) in 1994 during his senior year at Barboursville High School. After completing basic training and airborne schools in 1995 he returned to study at Marshall University and served part time in the WVNG.In 1997, Luther paused his studies at Marshall to attend the US Army Special Forces Qualification Course at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg, NC. After completing training in 1998, he returned to Marshall where he continued his studies between military assignments, graduating in 2003 with majors in international affairs and modern languages (German). After graduation, Luther accepted a management position at FedEx in Kentucky. Although he enjoyed the fast-paced environment, when Major General James Hoyer, USA, Retired, offered Luther a full-time position with the Guard in 2005, he jumped at the opportunity to move his family back to West Virginia. Luthers career took another turn when he commissioned as an officer in 2007. Since that time, he has held key leadership and staff positions throughout special operations while deploying to Afghanistan, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and Eastern Europe. Today, Luther serves as commander of the 2nd Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group, which is headquartered in Kenova, WV, and has more than 700 assigned soldiers, including companies in Rhode Island and Ohio. Luther also serves on the board of directors of the West Virginia Mountain Trail Runners and Friends of the Kanawha Trace and as vice president of Special Forces Association Chapter 68. Luther holds a bachelors degree from Marshall University (2003), Master of Business Administration from the University of Charleston (2015) and is a graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College (2021).
