The change of command ceremony is scheduled at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Owen is to receive a third star and will succeed Lt. Gen. John “Jack” Hudson, who is retiring. The Air Force announced the plan in May.
Owen is director of logistics and sustainment for the Air Force Materiel Command headquarters at the base. He joined the Air Force in 1978.
Hudson became commander of the Aeronautical Systems Center in 2005. A pilot and flight instructor, he graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1973.
Maj. Gen. Kathleen D. Close, commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, arrived at Wright-Patterson to prepare to succeed Owen in his current position.
