CECOM LCMC commanding general visits Germany

Maj. Gen. Randolph Strong, commander of the CECOM Life Cycle Management Command, visited Germany May 3 to 7 to meet with CECOM LCMC European team members.

“Major General Strong was very interested in seeing firsthand the work that we are doing in support of U.S. Army Europe,” said Barron Williams, the senior command representative for CECOM LCMC in theater. “He also met with key customers to establish a direct dialogue with them and get feedback on our operations.”

Part of Major General Strong’s itinerary included a visit to the headquarters of the 405th Army Field Support Brigade. During his visit to the brigade, Major General Strong met with primary staff members and received a briefing on the brigade’s operations.

“Major General Strong seemed very impressed by the broad scope of our mission,” said Col. John Haley, the commander of the 405th Army Field Support Brigade. “We talked at length about how in addition to logistics, we also handle the synchronization of acquisition and technology across the European and African theaters.”

Major General Strong also attended a luncheon with CECOM LCMC employees, including logistics assistance representatives who came to CECOM LCMC headquarters on Kleber Kaserne from various field locations. Major General Strong took advantage of the large crowd to express his sentiments to the CECOM LCMC personnel.

“I am extremely proud of everything that you do for our Soldiers,” Major General Strong said. “Everywhere I go in theater, I’m hearing about the great things you’re doing and that the units are very happy with your support, and that speaks volumes to me about the quality of service that you provide.”

Major General Strong’s visit also included attendance at the USAREUR distinguished visitor summit in conjunction with Austere Challenge 10 and visits to the 75th Fire Brigades and the 170th Brigade Combat Team.
