Parsippany, NJ– Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) released the following statement after last week's change of command at Picatinny Arsenal, where Brigadier General William M. Boruff relinquished command to Brigadier General John T. Reim, Jr.:
"Over the past year, it's been a pleasure working alongside General Boruff in our continuous and collaborative efforts to support Picatinny Arsenal. He has been a strong advocate for the base and demonstrated a firm commitment to the Army's Modernization Enterprise. I want to thank him and his family for their 39 years of service to the Army and our country. I wish the General and his wife Linda well in their retirement. During his career, General Boruff rose through both the enlisted and officer ranks, entering service as an E-1 and rising to the rank of O-7 –– a Brigadier General. This is an impressive accomplishment, which contributed to his strong and effective leadership style, as he truly understood the experience of Soldiers of all ranks all under his command.
"I'd also like to extend my warmest welcome to General Reim as he takes over as Joint Program Executive Officer for Armaments and Ammunition and Commanding General of Picatinny Arsenal, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience in both conventional and special operations to the installation. I look forward to growing our partnership and continuing to support the important work Picatinny does to develop and field next generation systems for the warfighter and support our local economy."
