Army Moves

Brig. Gen. Michael Lundy will take over command of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Ft. Rucker, AL, next month as Maj. Gen. Kevin Mangum is slated to become the next Army Training and Doctrine Command deputy commander, according to a Feb. 20 service statement.

Lundy is the deputy commanding general at the Army Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, KS.

Mangum is due for a third star with his promotion to TRADOC at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, VA. The change of command at Ft. Rucker is scheduled for March 20, according to the statement.

Mangum replaced Maj. Gen. Anthony Crutchfield, who left his post at Ft. Rucker to become chief of staff of U.S. Pacific Command at Camp H.M. Smith, HI, in the summer of 2012. Mangum previously served as the commanding general of the Army's Special Operations Aviation Command.

According to a Feb. 12 Defense Department announcement, Crutchfield will become the U.S. Pacific Command deputy commander and will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.
