In a relinquishment of responsibility and retirement ceremony on Friday, Davis Tindoll, director of Installation Management Command’s Directorate of Sustainment, was recognized for his half a century of service to the nation.
Lt. Gen. Omar Jones, commander of the Installation Management Command, noted that Tindoll served for 20 years in Senior Executive Service after 30 years as a regular Army officer with assignments in Europe, Korea and the United States.
“We’re all products of our experience and your experience is one of service, service and leadership to others,” Jones said. With each change that happened in the Army and Installation Management from 2004 through 2025, Tindoll was “a critical part in that across the board.”
The event was held at Bob Jones Auditorium, with Command Sgt. Maj. Tamisha Love assisting in the relinquishment of responsibility ceremony.
Jones described Tindoll as “an expert in managing programs to make sure they’re performance based, synchronized and evaluated for continuous improvement.”
Several of Tindoll’s products include a senior commander handbook which is widely distributed across the Army and his garrison commander handbook that’s part of the inventory of the library at the U.S. Army War College.
“In his eight years as director of IMCOM Sustainment, he has excelled” in all of his missions, Jones said. “And his legacy is going to have a long, long impact after today’s ceremony.”
Jones said he is most grateful to Tindoll for sharing “the infectious nature of installation management, how exciting it is to be part of this team. … It’s about what this group of people can do to support the Army.”
“Fifty years of service to my country seems like a long time, but time flies, it goes fast,” Tindoll said. His career as a Soldier “allowed me to grow, learn, be all that I can be as the slogan describes.”
Some of Tindoll’s notable military assignments include deputy director of the Installation Management Agency’s Southeast region, chief of staff for the Army Aviation Center and Garrison commander at Fort Rucker, which was renamed Fort Novosel.
Tindoll said he treasures his three years as a garrison commander, an assignment that allowed him to continue to serve the Army for the next 20 years, managing Army installations as a senior executive.
“Being a region ID director allowed me the opportunity to build and lead a team that could truly make a difference every day,” Tindoll said. “As the CG pointed out, I had the opportunity to be a director of three different regions and one directorate.”
As the director of the IMCOM Sustainment Directorate, he was responsible for the management of 32 Army garrisons, providing base operation services like infrastructure, emergency services, support to training, Soldier and family programs, Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs for all Army Materiel Command and Military District-Washington installations.
“I’m fully aware that these assignments and accomplishments did not happen without a lot of help and loving support,” Tindoll said. “I’ve truly been blessed.”
Tindoll thanked Jones for his trust and support, saying, “I’ve been blessed serving my country with you.” Among others Tindoll recognized were his mentors, executive officers, chiefs of staff, senior and garrison commanders, command sergeants major, IMCOM teams and his wife of more than 52 years, Dayle, and their son and three daughters. Jones thanked IMCOM professionals, past and present, around the country, and in particular IMCOM Sustainment and Redstone Garrison for supporting Soldiers, civilians and families and contributing to the readiness of the Army.
Tindoll closed with a quote from Robert E. Lee: “Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.” He then turned to Jones and said: “Sir, I’ve done my duty.”
