She has been in the army since 2002 and has expertise in organizational leadership, manpower, training, human resources, finance, and safety. In a statement, Col. Gore expressed excitement about the new role and its challenges.

She will oversee the fort’s 64,000 staffers at the Army’s second-largest installation, which is a key center for intelligence and cyber operations, including the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command.
