In a ceremony held July 12 at the U.S. Army's Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Miss., Brig. Gen. Kimberly Peeples, already a member of the Mississippi River Commission and the previous commander of the Corps' Great Lakes and Ohio River Engineer Division, assumed command of the Mississippi Valley Division (MVD) from Maj. Gen. Diana Holland, who had served in that role since June 2020. After relinquishing command, Holland will retire from the Army following 33 years of service. Maj. Gen. Butch Graham, deputy chief of engineers and deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, opened the ceremony by asking the commanders of the districts and directors within the Mississippi Valley Divi- sion to give a one-word description of Holland. These were the words shared: selfless, compassionate, calm, genuine, gracious, resolute, kind and wise. |
