"Headquarters Air Force is working with U.S. Central Command for my report date," Touhill said. "I expect the change of command will be soon, yet I intend to run hard through the finish line here at Keesler."

Touhill came to Keesler in October 2007 and pinned on the rank of brigadier general in September. He commands 12,000 Airmen and civilians, providing technical training for officers, enlisted and civilians of the Air Force, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and other Defense Department agencies.
