JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (Nov. 3, 2017) -- Officials from the Army General Officer Management Office announced Nov. 1 the selection of the commander of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command for promotion.

The U.S. Senate confirmed the nomination of Col. Bill Boruff for promotion to the rank of brigadier general Oct. 31, which became effective Nov. 2, 2017.

Boruff was commissioned as a second lieutenant in Field Artillery from the ROTC program at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, North Carolina. He joined the Army Acquisition Corps in 1995 and in July 2017 took command of the MICC.

In addition to numerous command and staff positions, Boruff has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Freedom's Sentinel.

The MICC, which is responsible for contracting goods and services in support of Soldiers and their families, consists of about 1,500 uniformed and civilian members located at two contracting support brigades, two field directorate offices, nine contracting battalions and 29 offices throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. MICC contracts are vital in feeding more than 200,000 Soldiers every day, providing many daily base operations support services at installations, preparing more than 100,000 conventional force members annually, training more than 500,000 students each year, and maintaining more than 14.4 million acres of land and 170,000 structures.
