Major Cole, who’s been selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel, comes to Keesler from Air Force headquarters, where he was the executive officer for the Directorate of Force Development for the deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services. He took command June 5 from Lt. Col. Paul Valenzuela, who’ll be deployed to Southwest Asia for the next year. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
