FORT HUACHUCA Maj. Gen. Barbara Fast will be turning over the command of the Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca on June 29 to Brig. Gen. John Custer.
Fast will become the deputy for the Army Capabilities Integration Center at the Training and Doctrine Command headquarters at Fort Monroe, Va. Custer, who is on the promotion list to major general, will be returning to Fort Huachuca from his current assignment as director of intelligence for the U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. During his previous stint on the fort, Custer served as the Intelligence Center's deputy commander.
For more on this story, see Saturday's Herald/Review.
As ABC News, Jul 23, reported, regarding the violence in Iraq, the director
of intelligence for Central Command, Brig. Gen. John Custer, explained, “The
big myth is that the foreign fighters are everywhere, that there are
thousands,” Custer said. “My feeling is that that’s largely that Arab street
[spreading the myth]. That’s the story everybody wants to hear, and Iraqis
don’t want to admit that some of [the bombers] might be Iraqis.”

Sure looks like it with a statement like that,,,
Hey Sarge,,,I saw your posts,,,had to go looky,,,
“soldier’s gut”...(gets worse the older ya’ get)...;0)
I remember Custer. This isn’t good news.
>>Soon to be a story as some tried to tie her to Abu-Gharib.<<
Wasn’t a colonel who reported to her the highest ranking officer punished over Abu-Gharib? I think he was found to be physically present when a terrorist was tortured to death so its expected the press will bring up again what she knew or should have known about what went on in her command.
(BTW, General Fast was exonerated on the dereliction of duty charges after Colonel Pappas claimed she encouraged the abuse)
So why is this breaking news? people change command posts all the time.
I was in MI from 1978 to 1993 and don’t remember anyone calling the ACSI or DSCINT “Uncle”. I was an SSG in the intel watch (DAMI-FIO) portion of the Army Operations Center in 1980-82 and use to deliver the morning briefing book to COL S. Weinstein when he was the ACSI XO, and later I gave the briefings after we ran short of Captains as team chiefs and I was made a team chief with another SSG working for me. I ended up applying for and recieving a direct commission to Captain and shipped out to MIOAC in May of 82.
I can’t remember the name of the Ft. Huachuca Commander then, but a couple of months after my class graduated, he retired from the Army, was caught sleeping with his female aid.
That was Gen. E. Paige I do believe.
I was considering pinging you re possible recruitment.
Already have two new members from this thread. Sent you and Jack those updates already.
General Barbara? Wha?
ping
Oh great.
OK, you guys have been pretty rough on Custer this whole thread. I worked for him at Red Clould when he was the 2ID duce. I was a specalist at the time and he was a LTC. While I was there no one in the entire G2 had anything bad to say about the guy and I still have a very favorable opinion of him.
A lot of these posts are mention knowing Custer as an LT. Keep in mind that much can change from butter bar to two stars. I would only ask that everyone keep an open mind and a wait and see attitude and give the guy half a chance.
Add me, if you will.
