Air Force Center Gets New Leader Today

In today's paper.

El Segundo base welcomes a new leader By Muhammed El-Hasan, Staff Writer

The Air Force's El Segundo-based procurement arm for satellites, rockets and other space systems will welcome a new commander today.

Lt. Gen. Michael A. Hamel will relinquish command of the Los Angeles Air Force Base's Space and Missile Systems Center to Lt. Gen. John T. "Tom" Sheridan.

The change of command will occur at a ceremony this morning at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, ending Hamel's three-year tenure at the center's helm.

In the afternoon, a retirement ceremony for Hamel will feature a battery of 15 firing howitzer cannons and an F-16 fighter jet flyover to salute the outgoing commander.
