Campbell was most recently the deputy director for regional operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Campbell replaces Major General Jeffrey Schloesser (SLOW-sher) as the fort's commanding general. Schloesser has run Fort Campbell since May 2006 but will now command U.S. forces in Eastern Afghanistan.
