The command responsible for both Army basic training, and its efforts to field a new fitness test, changed hands Friday.

Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost, who is set to retire later this year, handed over leadership of the Center for Initial Military Training to Brig. Gen. Lonnie Hibbard in a ceremony at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, livestreamed via the command’s Facebook page.

“He helped me and then other Army senior leaders understand the imbalances and the cumulative risks that had crept into the Army’s training mission over almost two decades of continuous combat overseas,” Gen. Stephen Townsend, the head of Training and Doctrine Command, said of Frost. “And then he helped us find ways to fix them.”
