403rd Maintenance Group gains new commander

Colonel Kerry Kohler took command of the 403rd Maintenance Group at an Assumption of Command ceremony held during the June Unit Training Assembly.

Colonel Kohler emphasized his dedication to serving the people of the Maintenance Group - stressing the importance of morale, retention and recruitment, and readiness - as well as his service to the 403rd Wing as a whole.
