Thursday was memorable for four members of Team Redstone. It started with a morning rehearsal and culminated with Redstone’s first postwide retirement ceremony that afternoon in Bob Jones Auditorium.
Brig. Gen. Douglas Lowrey, commander of the Security Assistance Command, and six staff members, traveled to Colombia to engage in one of the most wide-sweeping key leader engagements for the USASAC team since the pandemic hit in early 2020.
Understanding the high priority of Colombian military capabilities to Central and South American regional stability, Lowrey brought along foreign military sales experts from USASACâs Southern Command division and the central case manager from USASAC-New Cumberland.
Lowrey was invited to Colombia by Colombian Vice Minister of Defense for Strategy and Planning Jairo Garcia Guerrero during a November 2020 meeting at Sierra Army Depot. Guerrero was in the U.S. inspecting excess M1117 Armored Security Vehicles, which were no longer needed by the U.S. Army and being stored in the dry desert of southern California.
