IMCOM-Korea holds change of command
IMCOM-Korea Region Public Affairs Office
Installation Management Command- Korea Region welcomed its new Commander and said farewell to its outgoing Commanding General during a July 2 change of command ceremony.
Colonel John Uberti accepted command of IMCOM-Korea from Brig. Gen. Al Aycock during the ceremony held inside Yongsan’s Collier Field House. Uberti is replacing Aycock as the commander of IMCOM-Korea Region, which is headquartered here. The command oversees the installation management and support structure of Army garrisons throughout the Republic of Korea .
Uberti received a warm welcome from those in attendance. During his incoming remarks, the colonel stated he would continue to uphold IMCOM-Korea’s successful policies and programs that are making a difference in the quality of life Soldiers and their Families experience while living in the ROK.
“Our Families are in many ways the true selfless servants to our Army and our nation,” Uberti said. “It is with that in mind that I pledge to continuously improve your quality of life; building on the Army Family Covenant and the many great programs the garrison teams have put in place across the peninsula.”
Uberti addressed Servicemembers in Korea, saying “IMCOM-Korea will do all we can to support you, your units and your families so you can concentrate on remaining ready to fight and win as part of the ROK-U.S. Alliance.”
Lt. Gen. Robert Wilson, Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, presided over the ceremony. “This Region is well-led and consists of a very dedicated and talented work force that has successfully mapped out the Region transformation while vastly improving Readiness and Quality of Life,” Wilson said. “From the DA Community Relations award to EEO, Force Protection, Community of Excellence…IMCOM-Korea Region has certainly distinguished itself throughout IMCOM and the Army.”
IMCOM-Korea has been key to supporting USFK in normalizing tours, from the establishment of Pear Blossom Cottages (facilities that offer support for non-command sponsored families who live off post) to assisting in the expansion of schools, youth services and Child Development Centers, to meet the needs of a community rapidly changing from one that was non-command sponsored to one that is,” the general said.

The 2nd Battalion 222nd Field Artillery, commonly known as the Triple Deuce, is scheduled to conduct a battalion change of command Saturday, June 28, at 10 a.m. at the Cedar City Armory.
At the ceremony, Lt. Col. Brent F. Anderson, commander of the Triple Deuce, will relinquish command to Lt. Col. Christopher A. Caldwell.
Anderson, born and raised in Cedar City, has commanded the Triple Deuce since June 2012. He led the battalion through its reintegration period since the unit deployment to Iraq in 2011. Anderson has deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from 2006-2007 with I Corps Artillery where he earned the Bronze Star Medal. He will continue to serve as the operations officer for the Utah National Guard, which has been his full-time duty while commanding the battalion.
“The battalion achieved deployment readiness a full year ahead of schedule,” said Anderson. “Their achievement and professionalism are exemplary and my time in command will forever be a point of personal pride.”
Caldwell lived in Cedar City from 1988-2010 and now resides in Draper. He currently serves as the operations officer for the 65th Field Artillery Brigade at Camp Williams. His former assignments include fire direction officer, platoon leader, battery commander, battalion fire direction officer, battalion assistance operations officer, battalion operations officer, and assistant professor of Military Science at Southern Utah University ROTC.
Caldwell deployed to Iraq with the Triple Deuce in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2005-2006 where he served as assistant operations officer. Caldwell is a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal for his wartime service.
“I’m excited to be part of the battalion again,” said Caldwell. “There is no other battalion that has the level of community support as the Triple Deuce and I am honored to serve as its commander.”
Caldwell has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering Technology and a Master of Public Administration Degree, both from Southern Utah University.
