Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic, most recently director of operations (J3) for U.S. Cyber Command at Fort Meade in Maryland, officially assumed command of the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and Fort Eisenhower in Georgia, DVIDS reported Friday.

Janovic started his career as a platoon leader in the 201st Military Intelligence Battalion, 513th Military Intelligence Brigade.
