The Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center has welcomed back a familiar face to lead its workforce of more than 11,000 engineers, scientists, researchers and support staff in delivering advanced technologies as required by the Armyâs strategic priorities and support to its Cross-Functional Teams.
Jeffrey Langhout assumed the duties of Aviation & Missile Center director Jan. 17. No stranger to the organization, Langout served in a variety of leadership roles at AvMC from April 2013 to October 2018, when he became the director of the Ground Vehicle Systems Center in Warren, Michigan.
Juanita Christensen, who precedes Langhout as AvMC director, has been selected as the new deputy chief of staff for logistics, facilities and environmental, G-4, at the Army Materiel Command, also effective Jan. 17.
This has been a year like many have never seen and the likes of one we hope to never see again. Itâll be remembered as the year COVID-19, face coverings, social distancing, videoconferencing and teleworking became the norm while frequent traveling and in-person events seemed a thing of the past.
As the Aviation and Missile Command readies for 2021, it looks back on a small fraction of the milestones and accomplishments achieved in 2020.
The Aviation and Missile Command bid farewell to one deputy commander and welcomed another when Don Nitti assumed the role in March after Bill Marriottâs retirement in January after 44 years of federal service. Nitti was formerly the executive director of AMCOM Logistics Center.
