EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A Fort Bliss organization that helps to spearhead Army modernization efforts is getting a new commander.
Brig. Gen. Zachary Miller, who has led the U.S. Army Joint Modernization Command (JMC) for the past two years, will relinquish command to Brig. Gen. Daniel Hibner.
A change-of-command ceremony is scheduled for 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17, at Noel Field at Fort Bliss.
The ceremony will be hosted by Lt. Gen. David Hodne, the director of the Futures and Concepts Center.
As part of Army Futures Command and Futures and Concepts Center, JMC “executes the Army’s largest modernization experiments, conducting persistent experimentation at locations around the world,” JMC said in a news release.
“These in-the-dirt, multi-echelon, joint, and multinational experiments support the Army’s modernization strategy utilizing a campaign of continuous learning to deliver the Army of the future, capable of deterring and defeating our adversaries,” JMC added.
Prior to assuming command of JMC, Hibner served as the commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division. Hibner’s other command assignments include commandant of the U.S. Army Engineer School and commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District.
Hibner has held various leadership positions from platoon to brigade and has deployed once in support of Operation Joint Guardian in Kosovo, four combat tours to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and one deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
After serving as the JMC commander from 2023-2025, Miller will assume command of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division.
