Capt. Jeremy D. Myles assumed command of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, during a change of command ceremony held Oct. 14 at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

Col. Aaron M. Martin, AMCOM’s chief of staff, recognized the outgoing commander, Capt. Hunter L. Wilson, for being a good leader, a good commander and taking care of Soldiers.

“Hunter, your leadership and presence for our Soldiers has been nothing short of impressive. Thank you for being an integral part of this Redstone team for the past two years,” said Martin.

Wilson expressed his appreciation to a wide variety of AMCOM staff and leaders, as well as those in attendance at the ceremony.

“The knowledge that I had this incredible support structure behind me made this job so much easier than you could ever know,” said Wilson. “To the HHC team: you guys are incredible and truly a bedrock of Redstone Arsenal. This day should be used to recognize your greatness and your contributions to the Redstone team.”

Martin welcomed Myles, who spent the last year working in the G-3 of Army Contracting Command, by saying [AMCOM] is honored and excited to have him lead this team of professionals.

Myles is a native of Montgomery, Alabama, and enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve in March 2009 as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Specialist. In August 2011, he attended Tuskegee University and participated in the Simultaneous Membership Program in conjunction with the Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Myles was assessed active duty and commissioned as a second lieutenant Military Intelligence Branch Detail Chemical Officer through the Tuskegee University Army ROTC Program.

“To my new command team, Maj. Gen. O’Connor and Command Sgt. Maj. Smith, I want to say thank you for this opportunity,” said Myles. “To my AMCOM team, my new family, I appreciate the confidence in my ability to serve as your new HHC AMCOM commander. I am honored. I will lead by example, and listen and make the appropriate decisions when necessary and lay the structure that is committed to the Army standards. Taking care of our force is my top priority.”

The HHC provides unit-level military training management, essential personnel services and command interest program support to Soldiers assigned and attached to Redstone Arsenal units. HHC ensures more than 550 Soldiers, including 13 general officers, receive timely, efficient and reliable personnel services and support.

The HHC team supports units at 27 different locations, to include Army Materiel Command and its subordinate units located on Redstone Arsenal; Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology subordinate units, such as Program Executive Office for Aviation and PEO for Missiles and Space; and joint organizations including the Missile Defense Agency, the Missile and Space Intelligence Center, and the 167th Theater Support Command at Fort McClellan, Alabama.
