Post officials and the community will welcome Col. Jeremy D. Bell on Thursday, July 11 at 9:30 a.m. during a change of command ceremony at Wilson Theater.
Col. Bell was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. A news release says he was commissioned as an Armor officer in 1997 from the United States Military Academy. His initial assignment was at Fort Stewart, Ga. where he served as an Armor and Mortar Platoon Leader in 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment.
Outgoing commander Col. Kuchan’s next assignment will take him to the United States European Command in Germany.
