During the ceremony, LTC Christopher Romero relinquished PdM responsibilities to Mr. Robert Zoppa, the former deputy, who will serve as the Acting PdM until board-selected replacement LTC Preston Hayward arrives this Summer.

The event, which took place at the GCSS-Army Headquarters building in Petersburg, Virginia, was attended by guests from the PM AESIP team, the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command, and the Lead System Integrator, as well as more than 80 employees of the GCSS-Army team. COL Culclasure and Mr. Zoppa both presented farewell gifts to LTC Romero in appreciation of his leadership during the past three years. The GCSS-Army team also held a luncheon to honor LTC Romero following the ceremony.
