Col. Jason Cole handed over command of U.S. Army Garrison Alaska to Col. John Campbell during a change of command ceremony Wednesday at Fort Wainwright.

Brenda Lee McCullough, director of U.S. Army Installation Management Command-Pacific, congratulated Cole on his successful command and welcomed the Campbell family.

“I never have to worry about Alaska, and that’s because we have solid leadership here,” McCullough said.

During Cole’s command, Army Community Services obtained accreditation and the installation opened a new child care center, aquatics center and community activity center.

“His accomplishments are united by one common theme: an unrelenting focus on providing the best quality of life and care for our soldiers, civilians and families here in Alaska,” she said.
