SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Lt. Gen. Lee K. Levy II, Air Force Sustainment Center Commander, served as the presiding official over a change of command ceremony for the 635th Supply Chain Operations Wing (SCOW) last month.

During the ceremony, Brig. Gen. Linda Hurry relinquished command of the 635th SCOW to Col. David Sanford.

In that role, she will be responsible for delivering worldwide expeditionary installation and mission support (I&MS) capabilities to customers at the headquarters, major command and installation levels.
