94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Fort Knox Garrison is under new leadership.
Colonel David Holstead replaced Colonel Christopher Ricci as the Fort Knox Garrison commander during a change of command ceremony at the Waybur Theater Friday.
According to a release from Fort Knox, Holstead was commissioned as an armor officer and most recently served as the chief of current operations for V Corps Forward in Poznań, Poland. Holstead “will be charged with providing quality on-post services for soldiers and their families, as well as overseeing infrastructure projects, maintaining environmental stewardship, and ensuring the safety and security of those who live and work on Fort Knox.”
Holstead told the Quicksie Morning Show he is no stranger to the area.
“I’ve been here four times to Fort Knox,” Holstead said. “As recently as two years ago, I was at HRC. We love bourbon. We love horses. We love Louisville. We love this area, so I’m excited to be back here and be the Garrison commander of the place where I started my journey 25 years ago as an armor officer.”
Colonel Ricci will be moving from Fort Knox to Fort Benning, where he will serve as the director of the U.S. Army Futures Command’s Maneuver Requisitions Division.
