Change of Command at USAMMCE

Col. Mitchell Brew handed over the U.S. Army Medical Material Center Europe colors and mission to his successor, Col. William “Mark” Stubbs during a July 23 change of command ceremony at Husterhoe Kaserne in Pirmasens.

“Colonel Brew was an outstanding commander who took USAMMCE to the next level, but no one is better qualified to replace him than Colonel Stubbs”, said Maj. Gen. James K. Gilman, commanding general of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command.

Numerous guests and USAMMCE personnel came out to say farewell to Colonel Brew, who has been assigned as the chief of staff with the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, Kaiserslautern.

The new commander, Colonel Stubbs was welcomed with open arms as he is no stranger to USAMMCE and has served in different positions here from 1999 to 2001 and again as the deputy commander for operations since July 2009. 

“This is a dream come true for us,” said Colonel Stubbs in his speech.
The Soldiers of the Bundeswehr’s Lazarettregiment 21 from the state of Rheinland-Pfalz joined the USAMMCE Soldiers on the field.
