FORT KNOX, Ky. -- Maj. Gen. Jason T. Evans relinquished command of U.S. Army Human Resources Command to Maj. Gen. Joseph R. Calloway during a change of ceremony July 1, 2019.
As the 25th commanding general of HRC, Calloway will continue to support the Army with strategic talent management; modernization of information technology platforms; and total Army programs and services, which take care of soldiers, veterans and families.
"I'm deeply humbled to have the privilege of taking the colors from a great leader (Jason Evans) and to lead a great group of professionals … who make up the HRC team," Calloway said. "I look forward to serving with everybody here … and taking care of our Army."
Calloway previously served at HRC from December 2015 to March 2017 as the command's Director of Officer Personnel Management. He returns to HRC from the Pentagon where he served as the Director of Military Personnel Management, Office of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1.
