Brig. Gen. Daniel Hibner is now the new leader of the U.S. Army Joint Modernization Command, taking over from Brig. Gen. Zachary Miller, who is now the commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
A change-of-command ceremony was held on June 17 at Noel Field on Fort Bliss, the Army said Monday.
Who Is Daniel Hibner?
Hibner most recently was the commander of the USACE South Atlantic Division. His other command assignments include commandant of the U.S. Army Engineer School and USACE Savannah District commander. The new JMC lead also held various leadership positions from platoon to brigade and has deployed once in support of Operation Joint Guardian in Kosovo, four combat tours to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and one deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
As the newly installed JMC commander, Hibner will oversee the execution of Joint Warfighting Assessment 25 in July in the Indo-Pacific Command area. He attended parts of Project Convergence Capstone 5 in preparation for his role.
“It’s truly an honor to stand before you as the Commander of the Joint Modernization Command,” Hibner said during the ceremony. “JMC is the bridge between today’s formations and tomorrow’s battles. That bridge is built with creativity, innovation, and relentless drive to improve and reinvent.”
