It was announced Nov. 6, 2013, that Lt. Gen. Robert Brown, who assumed command of I Corps in July 2012, would be moving on to the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., which educates and develops Army leaders. Stepping into the I Corps command role would be Maj. Gen. Stephen Lanza, who would take command of I Corps. Lanza, a 33-year Army veteran, has been the commander of 7th Infantry Division since October 2012, when he worked with the Army to stand up the 7th ID, which is now in charge of seven of the 10 brigades stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and includes close to 23,000 soldiers.

In December, Maj. Gen. Terry Ferrell, whose decorations include the Silver and Bronze Star medals, was named as the new commander of the 7th ID at JBLM.

This afternoon, the 7th ID hosted the change of command ceremony where Ferrell assumed command of the 7th from the current commanding general, Lanza. Below is video of the ceremony, which was held inside due to snow.
