Col. Anthony Haager took command of U.S. Army Garrison Schweinfurt during a ceremony Thursday at Andrus Gardens on Ledward Barracks in Germany.

Haager takes the place of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Feldman, who will return to the States to take a position at the Pentagon after two years of running the garrison.

Haager comes to Schweinfurt from a stint as professor of military science at the Georgia Military College.
