FORT BUCHANAN, Puerto Rico—Col. Carlos Caceres assumes command of the largest federal U.S. Army command in the Caribbean during a change of command ceremony at Plaza Primeros on post, Oct 16.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Jurasek, 1st Mission Support Command outgoing commander, relinquished his command after serving since August 2019.
“This change of command holds a very special meaning because I am from Puerto Rico,” said proud Caceres. “I am assuming this command fully aware of the dire consequences to our Nation and our freedom if we fail to sustain a high level of readiness in a world in which security challenges are becoming more complex.”
Since 1922, the soldiers of the U.S. Army Reserve-Virgins Islands and Puerto Rico have been serving the island and the Nation. The command has become an essential part of the total force, with streamlined, deployable forces and citizen soldiers who embody the warrior mindset and spirit.
