SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, HAWAII -- The Tropic Lightning Division welcomed Brig. Gen. Gary M. Brito and his family during a "Flying V" Ceremony held on Weyand Field on Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, April 2.

"This ceremony is significant within the division when we change out leaders in the command group," said 25th Infantry Division Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Charles Flynn.

"This is a time to honor a great officer. He has a remarkable reputation as a professional Soldier," Flynn said. "He's a dynamic senior leader of character and we are honored to have him and Michelle in our ranks today."

Brito's most recent assignment was the Director, Force 2025 and Beyond, U.S. Army Capabilities and Integration Center, which is used to shape the future of the Army.

Brito assumes command as the Deputy Commanding General-Support for the 25th Infantry Division and is eager for the road ahead.

"I am both honored and privileged to serve in the ranks of a well trained, seasoned and deployment-ready division," Brito said.

"Michelle and I look forward to be part of the team supporting many of the missions that the division has and will continue to execute as the premier unit in the Pacific and U.S. Army," Brito said.
