FORT BELVOIR, Va. – On Friday, June 5, 2026, Maj. Gen. Rhett R. Cox took command of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), relieving Maj. Gen. Timothy D. Brown. The ceremony, presided over by Lt. Gen. Michelle A. Schmidt, U.S. Army deputy chief of staff, G-2, brought together senior Army leaders and previous INSCOM commanding generals. Brown served as INSCOM’s commanding general from Dec. 10, 2023, to June 5, 2026. He retired from the U.S. Army after more than 35 years of service. “Brown led operations that ensured that INSCOM delivered intelligence to drive decision advantage,” Schmidt said. “He optimized the force, strengthened the workforce, and delivered intelligence that protected the force and enabled targeting. You made INSCOM a more agile and responsive command.” Brown led INSCOM’s 18,000 personnel across 40 countries and 180 locations and orchestrated a historical organizational transformation by consolidating 17 major subordinate commands into 15, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and agility across the global enterprise. During his tenure, INSCOM and its units stationed around the globe made advancements in critical intelligence capabilities, such as the retirement of legacy aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (AISR) aircraft while transitioning to modern air frames, such as the High…
