Lt. Col. John W. Simma, Jr. assumed command of the 9th Battalion (QM) from Lt. Col. Kenneth Kirk in a change of command ceremony at the United States Army Reserve Center in Decatur, Ga. in September. Col. James Higginbotham, commander, 1st Brigade 80th Training Division presided over the event.
Simma previously served with the 108th Training Command (IET), as the military occupational specialty branch chief in G3 (Operations) section and as assistant G2 (Security). He was promoted to Lt. Col. in December 2007 and was board selected to command the 9th Battalion (QM).

“Simma and his selection for battalion command is a clear signal to other 108th Training Command (IET) officers that there are opportunities and assignments outside of the command where their expertise and leadership can be recognized and used for the benefit of the United States Army Reserve,” said Moore.
