WIESBADEN, Germany – Lt. Gen. Omar Jones IV, commanding general of
Installation Management Command, visited garrisons across Europe this week, recognizing and thanking the entire Installation Directorate-Europe
workforce, while also reminding them of the importance of the work they do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens in Europe is important to our Nation, to NATO, and to our partners across the theater.\u00a0Your work here makes a difference every day for Army People and the readiness of our mission partners.\u00a0And I want to personally thank you for your service,\u201d Jones said to the staff of ID-Europe on the first day of his five-day visit.<\/p>\n

After sharing time with garrison employees at U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, Headquarters of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, Jones and Copeland headed east to visit the newest garrison in the Army in Poznan, Poland.<\/p>\n

While in Poland, Jones laid out a vision for the garrison to mature into an organization that provides quality services and infrastructure to the Soldiers and civilians it supports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming years, I see USAG Poland continuing to evolve to provide the same exceptional support for Soldiers and civilians serving in Poland and to the formations training here as we do on 79 other installations around the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

From Poland, the leaders moved on to spend time with the Area Support Activity Black Sea team at at Mihail Kog\u0103lniceanu (MK) Air Base, Romania, which has been critical to successes on NATO\u2019s eastern flank for several years, but most especially since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past 18 months reinforced what we have known for the past two decades, MK Air Base is important to our national interests, to our Romanian partners, and to all of NATO,\u201d Jones said while at MK Air Base.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there is a tremendous amount of work being done by IMCOM professionals here every day.\u00a0The impact of that effort on quality of life and readiness is clear.\u00a0I thank each and every one of you for your efforts.\u00a0And I thank our Romanian hosts for their strong partnership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The pair finished their visit in the German state of Bavaria, where both served earlier in their careers, visiting and thanking the teams at USAG Ansbach and the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort, one of the four Armed Forces Recreation Centers around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were honored to have Lt. Gen. Jones and Command Sgt. Maj. Copeland come not only to see all the outstanding work that our garrisons do supporting our Soldiers, families, civilians and retirees, but also to remind us of the importance of the work they do every day,\u201d said Tommy Mize, ID-Europe Director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
