I know they will continue to excel under Kane and will provide him the same world class support from which I benefited,” said Jemmott.
“It is truly an honor to be a part of this group of Warfighters. The importance of this mission does not escape me, but the professionals of the JTF are ready for the challenge. I am also excited to be a part of a Naval Station Community with such a long history of excellence,” said Kane.
