The Mission Training Complex-Fort Leavenworth welcomed a new commander and bade farewell to another in a ceremony at the complex July 1.
Lt. Col. Kelly Brown, a 1995 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., assumed command of MTC-Fort Leavenworth as the outgoing commander, Lt. Col. Gregory Glenn, prepared to attend the U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. Passing the MTC guidon from Glenn to Brown was Col. Thomas Perison, Chief of Training Division, National Guard Bureau.
MTC-Fort Leavenworth was established in 1991 to support leadership development and to give units in the Army National Guard the same battle command training given to active-duty units. In 2003, the facility was named the Battle Command Training Center and assumed greater training responsibilities. In 2011, all battle command training centers were redesignated as mission training complexes.
