FORT CARSON, Colo. — The new commander of Fort Carson will be Maj. Gen. David G. Perkins, currently a deputy chief of staff with the Multinational Force in Iraq.
Perkins replaces Maj. Gen. Mark A. Graham, who will become a deputy chief of staff for the Army Forces Command at Fort McPherson, Ga.
The Army said Tuesday a change of command ceremony will take place in August. The day hasn’t been set.
Perkins will also be commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division, which is moving from Fort Hood, Texas, to Fort Carson.
Perkins also served at Fort Carson in 1992-95, when he held the rank of major. He commanded a brigade from Fort Stewart, Ga., in Iraq from July 2001 until June 2003.
He’s been awarded the Silver Star and other medals.
