A change of command ceremony is slated for July 7.
Miller has been confirmed for promotion to brigadier general. He was among a group of colonels confirmed by an April 28 U.S. Senate voice vote for appointment as one-star generals.
He is leaving for Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, where he will become the director of Logistics, Engineering and Force Protection for Pacific Air Forces.
“Beth and I are very grateful to Team Wright-Patt and the surrounding communities for welcoming us with open arms and making this assignment truly extraordinary. We are saddened to leave but excited to continue our Air Force journey in Hawaii,” Miller said in a statement on the base web site.

It’s at Wright-Patterson that the Air Force Materiel Command manages more than a third of the total Air Force budget.
