Maj. Gen. Patricia McQuistion will relinquish command of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command to Brig. Gen. Aundre F. Piggee during a change of command ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Thursday on the NCO Field on Daenner Kaserne.

Two years after taking command of the 21st TSC, McQuistion will depart the KMC and Germany to become the commanding general of the U.S. Army Sustainment Command in Rock Island, Ill.
