As the commanding general of ASC, Wilson will be responsible for providing soldiers with ammunition, equipment, food, uniforms, and anything else they need for the battlefield or to respond to natural disasters.

Mohan's next assignment has not been determined.

The ceremony begins Tuesday at 10 am, and presiding will be the commanding general of the Army Materiel Command, General Ed Daly.
