Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current reference profile supplies Lieutenant Colonel as the action rank, Colonel as the later rank, and the historical Peach Tree Creek location. Its citation uses “reformed” rather than the inherited “re-formed”; both complete texts remain preserved.
