Army Lt. Col. Caleb Conant assumed command of Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Red River, Texas, from Army Lt. Col. Joseph Lee during a change of command ceremony at Red River Army Depot on April 16. Navy Rear Adm. Michael York, commander, DLA Distribution, officiated the event.
The ceremony also marked the culmination of Lee’s 20year career in the U.S. Army, during which he served in various logistics and leadership roles. His tenure at DLA Distribution Red River was highlighted by the site’s successful transition to the Warehouse Management System, all while ensuring the seamless and agile distribution of crucial repair part supplies to warfighters around the world.
Conant, who previously served as an observer, coach and trainer at the Army’s Mission Command Training Program based out of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, takes the helm at a pivotal time for the organization.
