INSCOM HHC welcomes new commander By Sgt. Jeff Storrier U.S. Army INSCOM Public Affairs U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, INSCOM, Headquarters and Headquarters Company welcomed a new commander, Capt. Michael E. Buzzell, in a change of command ceremony at the Nolan Building on Fort Belvoir, Dec. 14. Col. Nichoel E. Brooks, INSCOM deputy commander, officiated the ceremony and reminded those who attended the event the important role the HHC commander plays on a daily basis. “It’s a huge headquarters with a lot of responsibility,” Brooks said. “It’s not just about the ones in uniform. This is an entire INSCOM team that HHC takes care of.” When speaking of the outgoing HHC commander, Capt. Geoff M. Terman, Brooks reminded Buzzell that, “The bar has been set high.” Terman, who is retiring after more than 20 years of service, both enlisted and commissioned, was gracious in his closing remarks. “I owe this team a great
deal of thanks,” Terman said. “Without the INSCOM team’s support, we could not have achieved the success we’ve had over the last 18 months.” Before he ‘signed off the net,’ ending his time in command, Terman thanked his platoon sergeants, first sergeant and executive officer for serving as a sounding board for him and for always putting Soldiers first. Buzzell, incoming commander, is no stranger to INSCOM, arriving at his new position from the 308th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Meade, Md. Buzzell thanked those who prepared him to take command, including Terman. “You’ve really shown me that this is an outstanding company I’m taking charge of,” he said in reference to his predecessor. “I’m extremely excited to be a member of this team.” Headquartered at Belvoir, INSCOM has 19 major subordinate commands with more than 17,500 Soldiers, Department of the Army civilians and contractors located at 180 locations in 45 countries.
