Change of Command Ceremony 22 October 2010
On 22 October 2010, in a magnificent ceremony conducted at the Home of the Finance Corps at Fort Jackson, SC and presided over by the Commanding General of the Soldier Support Institute, BG Mark A. MCALISTER; I accepted the reins as the 39th Commandant of the Financial Management School and Chief of the Finance Corps. As I accept these responsibilities, I want to take the opportunity to thank COL Milt SAWYERS for his leadership of the Corps over the last 15 months and for his over 36 years of selfless service to our great nation. Allow me also to extend on all of our behalf our very best wishes to him and his lovely wife Judith for continued good health and success as they move on to a new chapter in their lives.
It is with eager anticipation that I look forward to working with each of you, the Officers, Noncommissioned Officers, Soldiers and Civilians who comprise our financial management community in meeting the challenges that lay ahead. As our Army continues to transform even during this era of persistent conflict, we must continue to examine our operations and change so that we remain relevant and add value to the support we provide to war fighting commanders and the Army as a whole. To this end, I look forward to continuing the great strides we have made in ensuring our capstone manual, FM 1-06: Financial Management Operations, provides current and relevant doctrine; that we train the load to the highest standards with the most up to date, critical tasks needed to train and educate our community; develop and disseminate Training Support Packages that enable the Soldiers in our formations to train and sustain their wartime tasks; to continue the school's development of GFEBS sustainment training and cost management courses; and to orchestrate the implementation of our Financial Management Campaign Plan (FMCP) with its five Lines of Operations that lay out the strategic way ahead for the Corps. Working together, I am confident we will be a tremendous force multiplier for our Army.
