Change at the helm for USTRANSCOM Navy Reservists
SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- The Navy Reserve Element of U. S. Transportation Command’s Joint Transportation Reserve Unit has a new commander, Capt. Earl K. Hamilton.
In a ceremony here on Oct. 6, attended by his wife, Tia, his five children, and his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Lawrence Hamilton of Fulton, Mo., Hamilton relieved Capt. Paula Bozdech-Veater as commander of the Navy Reserve personnel assigned to the JTRU, the first Department of Defense-authorized "joint" reserve unit.
Also in attendance was Dr. Richard Wallace, Chancellor of the University of Missouri.
USTRANSCOM provides air, land, and sea transportation for the Department of Defense, both in time of peace and time of war. The JTRU provides USTRANSCOM with the highly skilled personnel it needs from the reserve components of all the services.
Hamilton, a native of Fulton, Mo., currently lives in Round Hill, Va., and is a 1979 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.
His military career includes service as a surface warfare officer and command of a Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit. He was the executive officer for a Military Sealift Command Office in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm.
In his civilian career, Hamilton worked with the Navy SEALs for 16 years designing, building and fielding numerous new systems. He also was senior civilian technical advisor to the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, for maritime special operations.
Currently he develops intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting, and command and control technologies for future naval weapons systems for the Office of Naval Research in Washington, DC.
Bozdech-Veater’s new assignment will keep her within the USTRANSCOM community, as she will be the USTRANSCOM Liaison Officer to the newly established U.S. Northern Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.
