U.S. Navy Capt. Anthony Saxon assumed duties as the new commander of the Joint Interoperability Test Command during a change of command ceremony held Aug. 17 at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
Saxon replaced Navy Capt. Robert Matthias, who took the helm at JITC in July 2021, and will lead the Department of Defense component that tests and certifies information technology and national security systems for the joint force, the Defense Information Systems Agency said Friday.
“Building upon past achievements and eagerly facing future challenges encapsulate our organizational essence,” Saxon said.
Saxon most recently served as assistant chief of staff for command, control, communications, computers and intelligence for the 3rd Fleet. In this role, he oversaw the Navy’s strategic communications centers.
U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, director of DISA and a 2023 Wash100 Award recipient, presided over the ceremony and commended Matthias’ leadership.
