Dover receives new base commander Published May 24, 2007 By Tech. Sgt. Kevin Wallace 436th AW Public Affairs DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- With a brisk salute and four words, "Sir, I assume command," Col. Steven Harrison took command of the 436th Airlift Wing from Col. Sam Cox in a change-of-command ceremony here May 8. Colonel Harrison joins Team Dover after serving as the vice commander of the 437th Airlift Wing, Charleston Air Force Base, S.C. "To command here at the Eagle Wing, at this Super Port, with this team is a particular honor," said Colonel Harrison, who then turned to face his family. He extended words of gratitude toward his wife for her support and thanked the Cox family for their extraordinary leadership skills. He then addressed Team Dover members standing in formation and local community leaders. "The word on the street is that the finest, warmest and most genuine community in Air Mobility Command, if not the Nation, resides right here around Dover Air Force Base," he said, which resulted in a thundering round of applause and cheers. "Jill and I don't know you yet, but we know a little bit about community and the value of community. We are pleased to have the opportunity to share this mission with you. There is no place in the world we'd rather be than right here."
