RIVERDALE PARK, Md. - The 450th Civil Affairs Battalion gathered for a change of command ceremony Nov. 7 at the Prince George’s County Memorial U.S Army Reserve Center.
Lt. Col . John E. Stefula took command from Lt. Col. John P. Lawlor. Stefula previously served as the assistant chief of staff for human resources for the 352nd Civil Affairs Command from October 2008 to October 2010. He said the impact of his new position dawned on him during the ceremony.

“It was a pleasure to work among the outstanding soldiers of this unit and see be a part of all that’s been accomplished ,” Lawlor said.
