Maj. Gen. Scott Jansson will assume command of the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center in a 9 a.m. ceremony Oct. 1 at Hardin Field.

Before coming to the AFNWC, Jansson was the Air Force Program Executive Officer for Weapons and director of the Armament Directorate at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

Jansson replaces Maj. Gen. Sandra Finan, who is going to the Pentagon to be the deputy chief information officer for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers. Gen. Ellen Pawlikowski, Air Force Materiel Command commander, will preside at the ceremony.

During the ceremony, Kirtland's 377th Air Base Wing will officially transfer from Air Force Material Command to  Air Force Global Strike Command. Maj. Gen. Jack Weinstein, 20th Air Force commander, will preside over the realignment.

The weapons center will remain under AFMC, but will be restructured.
