FORT DRUM â A familiar face has returned to command the 10th Mountain Division.
On Monday, Brig. Gen. Milford H. Beagle Jr. assumed command of the division, and of Fort Drum, marking his second assignment to the Army post. In an interview Thursday, he said returning to the north country comes with a sense of familiarity, which has made the command transition comparatively comfortable.
âIf feels like Iâm coming back someplace familiar,â he said. âThereâs a sense of comfort.â
Since 2018, Brig. Gen. Beagle was the senior commander at Fort Jackson, a post about an hour away from his hometown in South Carolina. He was also the commanding general of the U.S. Army Training Center at Fort Jackson, which provides basic combat training for roughly half of all Army soldiers.
