On a bright but cold day in Virginia, a ceremony was held to hand over command of the Army of the Shenandoah. After nearly 2 years on the job, General Ken Miller was relieved by his Chief of Staff, General John Corbin. General Jeff Bangma, Eastern Theater commander, was the guest of honor for the ceremony.
During the speeches, General Miller was lauded with praises for the efficiency and effectiveness of his Army and for his excellent leadership abilities.
General Miller was also presented with the Medal of Honor for his outstanding leadership of his Army on the battlefield.
General Corbin was also singled out for his willingness to continue the fine traditions of commanders at the AoS. I have every confidence in John and his abilities, and look forward to him rejoining the ranks of the Army Commanders.
Let me close by thanking Ken for all he has done for me and our fine Army - he is a first class commander and leader who has devoted a great deal of his extraordinary talents to this Club. Thank you, Ken!
Warmest Regards,
General Jeff Laub
