Dozens of people attended the Fort McCoy Garrison change-of-command ceremony May 19, 2018, at Fort McCoy, Wis.
New Garrison Commander Col. Hui Chae Kim assumed command from Col. David J. Pinter Sr., who held the position since March 11, 2016.
Installation Management Command-Readiness Director Brenda Lee McCullough officiated the event. Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Reinert, commanding general of the 88th Readiness Division and senior Fort McCoy commander, also addressed the gathering.
The change-of-command ceremony is a military tradition dating to the 18th century. During the ceremony, an organizational flag is passed to the individual assuming the command with unit members present to witness their new leader assuming the dutiful position.
As garrison commander, Kim is responsible for day-to-day operation and management of the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin. A garrison commander also represents the Army and the installation in the surrounding community, approves and issues garrison policies in accordance with respective Army regulations, approves and issues policies for the civilian workforce, and supports mobilization station requirements.
