Gen. Kenneth S. Dowd (third from left), commanding general of the 1st Theater Sustainment Command, joins leaders with the 1st Sustainment Brigade and the 469th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion in a ribbon cutting, Dec. 17, to mark the opening of the Camp Buehring, Kuwait, Central Issue Facility.
