CAMP SHELBY, Miss. (WDAM) - An Army Reserve unit that assists, advises and conducts training at Camp Shelby has a new commander.
Lt. Col. James M. Bishop is the new commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion of the 346th Regiment.
That unit works with Army National Guard and Army Reserve forces that train at Camp Shelby.
Bishop assumed command in a ceremony at Camp Shelby Saturday afternoon.
He takes over for Lt. Col. L. Alan Roper, who led the battalion for more than two years.
“I’m looking forward to the missions that are coming before us and all the opportunities for us to strive for success,” said Bishop. “Bottom line, the better we are at doing our job, the better the Army will be at its readiness.”
