Col. Pat Kaune relinquished command of Fort Knox Garrison to Col. CJ King during a ceremony held at Fort Knox's Waybur Theater July 26.
Vincent Grewatz, director of U.S. Army Installation Management Command -- Training, presided over the ceremony and began his remarks by reminding the crowd of the importance of quality leadership to the Army's mission.
"Leaders are key to the success of building that readiness and projecting power," Grewatz said. "The Army does not train its officers to be garrison commanders, but it does develop leaders who are caring, innovative and motivated to win. Col. Kaune is proof."
Grewatz praised Kaune and the Fort Knox Garrison team for their role in providing quality base operations services during a time of transition and reduced resources. He went on to say that further success will be built on that foundation.
"The greatest legacy of this amazing command team are the people and partnerships they've built and bequeath to their successors."Grewatz said.
Over the last two years, Kaune oversaw and led a multitude of installation efforts, to include housing improvements, the post's yearlong centennial activities and a successful demonstration of powering the post exclusively with internally-generated energy -- a first for a military installation.
Under his watch, Fort Knox was also one of just five military communities to be named a Great American Defense Community by the Association of Defense Communities. The post was one of two installations to earn an honorable mention in the 2018 Army Communities of Excellence competition as well.
Kaune thanked his team and lauded them for the Garrison's successes.
"This has been an extraordinary team and staff -- the best team I've played on," Kaune said. "Your professionalism and willingness to go to any length to take care of Soldiers' Families, [Department of the Army] civilians and retirees inspired me.
Kaune added that with the installation's capacity and capability, along with the people that comprise the greater Fort Knox community, "We are able to do anything the Army decides us to be, needs us to be or wants us to be. We are just that good."
Grewatz said solid leadership is key to getting the most out of a good team and that King was selected to do just that.
"Col. King brings extensive experience to his new position, but let me be clear, nothing he has ever done will be anything like the mission on which he is about to embark," Grewatz told the crowd, before directing a message specifically to King.
"Hold fast to your branch and technical training, CJ They will again be valuable to you … one day, … but they are not why you are here," Grewatz said. "No, you have distinguished yourself by your leadership, your integrity, your organizational and managerial skills, your flexibility and creativity. Above all, your care and compassion for our Soldiers and Families are why you are here, … [and] these are all branch immaterial."
Kaune reinforced Grewatz's sentiment during his own remarks.
"I knew that CJ was the right leader at the right time for this installation, and that the Army couldn't have selected a better officer," said Kaune. "Even after the team shared everything about the position -- he still wanted the job."
King, who comes to Fort Knox from the Pentagon where he served as manager of the Army's Colonel Officers Management Office, thanked those in attendance and conveyed his anticipation of starting his new command.
"After I was selected to command at the company level, a senior Infantry captain who I had come to respect told me, 'Remember, command at any level in this Army is a privilege, and it should be treated that way … every single day is an absolute privilege.' Thank you for the privilege to lead this extraordinary team of elite professionals.
"I look forward to both leading and working alongside members of this team in the months to come."
Kaune will be reporting for a joint assignment in the intelligence community.

I figured we'd only make it as far as Burlington, Colorado anyway, so I might as well squeeze in what little diversion I could manage. I'd diverted to take a picture of the Colorado state capitol building in 2013 and had been greeted with a capitol dome topped with a giant toilet paper roll. (Here's that picture .) I thought I'd give it another shot.
This is the Colorado's first and only capitol, finished in 1890 using white granite quarried in the state. The dome is cast iron painted a really weird shade of blue and topped in 1909 by a section of copper coated in gold leaf. The story of the state capitol building is fairly mundane. There are no tales of repeated fire or politicized financial shenanigans with this one. Nobody ever tried hiding the state seal or anything. There was some confusion over just which of the steps leading to the front door is exactly one mile above sea level, and there are three separate markers indicating three different elevations. But that's as much controversy as the building ever managed.

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.--July, 22, 2011 – The two largest civilian employers in the Department of Defense, the U.S Army Materiel Command and the Naval Sea System Command, joined forces Friday with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to provide more employment opportunities to service members by expanding their veteran hiring programs.
The agreement between U.S Army Materiel Command and the Naval Sea System Command expanded the veteran hiring programs for both organizations by combining two existing programs.

Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch., Commander, Installation Management Command, will host a flag uncasing ceremony for the U.S. Army Installation Management Command Oct. 5, 2010 at 10 a.m. in San Antonio, Texas.
Dr. Joseph W. Westphal, Under Secretary of the United States Army, will be the guest speaker.
The ceremony represents the presence of the installation management community and the assumption of the command's authority in San Antonio. The installation management community includes the U.S. Army Installation Management Command Headquarters and two major subordinate commands: U.S. Army Environmental Command and the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.
IMCOM temporarily occupies leased space in northeastern San Antonio until the new IMCOM Headquarters Building on Fort Sam Houston is completed in October 2011.
Uncasing the flag exemplifies how IMCOM, headquartered in "Military City USA," is transforming to make Army installations the Army's Home.

Hand-held, macro test. High ISO setting, to minimize my "shake". Testing the 55mm f/2.8 MF Micro, with the M2 Extension "Ring" (as opposed to Extension "Tube") on the D300. The M2 was originally designed for the 55mm f/3.5 Micro, but is a nice member of my collection, especially all the "pre-digital" stuff.
The RAW was processed through Capture NX2, saved as a TIFF and cropped with minor manipulation in CS3. One of these days, I need to figure out a work flow between NX2 (which captures *all* the camera info), PS CS3, and Aperture.
