Capt. Randal Hartnett acknowledged the major events that occurred during his tour as commanding officer of the Aviation Logistics Center. There were historic hurricanes, including Harvey and Maria, and the partial federal government shutdown and currently the COVID-19 pandemic. Hartnett, who was speaking to an audience seated apart because of social distancing rules, said he couldn’t believe it had been three years since he assumed command of ALC. Hartnett was speaking Tuesday, June 23, at a change of command ceremony where he was relieved by Capt. Torrence Wilson. The ALC’s ranks include both Coast Guard members and civilian workers who perform extensive, service-life extended maintenance on all Coast Guard rotor and fixed wing aircraft. Hartnett has transferred to the U.S. Secretary of Defense Executive Fellowship Program, while Wilson takes command of ALC after his previous assignment as executive assistant to Rear Adm. Nathan Moore, the assistant commandant for engineering and logistics. Moore, who also presided over the day’s ceremony, said the Coast Guard is always faced and overcomes milestone events, such as the BP Horizon oil spill, Hurricane Katrina and other such disasters. He spoke in detail of the accomplishments and challenges Hartnett faced while leading ALC. “In the last couple of years here during Randy’s tour he’s had three such milestone events,” Moore said. “The hurricane season of 2017 was obviously the biggest one of record for all of us. “The government shutdown in 2019 and of course the current COVID-19 crisis that’s created the unusual times we live in today.” Name of Advertiser:_________________________________________________________ Moore also presented Hartnett a Legion of Merit award for meritorious service. The admiral thanked Hartnett for a job well done and reminded the audience, both those in attendance Authorized Signature:______________________________________________Date:______________ DARDEN PUBLISHING 1640 Emerald Dunes Drive • Sun City Center, Florida 33573-4433 (757) 389-5473 • Fax: (757) 389-5477 Email: ceo.publisher@verizon.net and those watching via Facebook For placement in the 2015-2016 edition of video, that if for not Hartnett’s COASTAL VIRGINIA LIVING in HAMPTON ROADS leadership the Coast Guard’s hurricane relief efforts could not have been as successful.
