FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch and five representatives of the Soldiers, Civilians and Family members served by the U.S. Army Installation Management Command officially opened the command's new headquarters campus Aug.19. Story By Tim Hipps
The ceremony officially completed IMCOM's Base Realignment and Closure-mandated move from Arlington and Crystal City, Va., and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., to historic Fort Sam Houston, an Army stronghold since 1876.
Lynch, IMCOM commanding general and Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management, cut the ribbon alongside IMCOM Command Sgt. Maj. Neil Ciotola, IMCOM headquarters 2011 Stalwart Award winner Wanda Stover, IMCOM Noncommissioned Officer of the Year Sgt. Jeremy Blake, Fort Sam Houston Army Community Services Volunteer of the Year Nikki Longoria and Fort Sam Houston Youth Volunteer of the Year Imani Trice-Gayden.
"I'd like to thank the magnificent workforce here at IMCOM," Lynch told the crowd of about 700 gathered beneath blue skies on an 84-degree morning as a Texas breeze blew through the six-building complex. "We're going to dedicate a building, but the building is nothing without the people. For the remarkable Soldiers and Civilians who work at IMCOM headquarters, thank you for what you do every day because you're making a difference.
