PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Soldiers of U.S. Army Reserve 350th Civil Affairs Command welcomed a new commander during an assumption-of-command ceremony held at Naval Air Station Pensacola March 12.
With a traditional passing of the colors, newly promoted Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Coggin assumed command of the Pensacola-based unit.
“It is with great pride that I assume this command,” said Coggin. “Being chosen to command American Soldiers is the highest honor one can granted. I look to provide the leadership that the Soldiers of the 350th demand so that they can succeed in their roles.”
Maj. Gen. Daniel Ammerman, U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations commander served as the reviewing officer for the ceremony.
“This is a truly great command [350th CACOM] with great Soldiers and leaders,” said Ammerman. “The Soldiers are the advantage we, as a military, have over any opposing force. We as leaders are blessed with Soldiers that are more talented than any force …”
Coggin's most recent assignment was serving as the commander for the 321st Civil Affairs Brigade. He is a graduate of the Army Medical Department Officer Basic Course, Army Medical Department Officer Advanced Course, Civil Affairs Officer Advanced Course, the Army Command and General Staff College. He was awarded a Master’s Degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College.
