<p>TOBYHANNA TWP. &#8212; Northeastern Pennsylvania&#8217;s largest employer has a new leader &#8212; Col. Gregory Peterson.</p><p>Col. Gerhard P.R. Schr&#246;ter Wednesday relinquished command during a ceremony at the depot&#8217;s Headquarters Building.</p><p>Maj. Gen. Bruce T. Crawford, commanding general of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command, headquartered in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, presided over the ceremony. It culminated with the passing of the depot flag to Peterson, making him the depot&#8217;s 31st commander.</p><p>Peterson thanked the crowd for attending the ceremony, saying it was a special time for him and his family.</p><p>Peterson said he was proud to be commander of the depot and its 3,800 employees.</p><p>The depot employs 1,003 people from Luzerne County and 1,406 from Lackawanna County.</p><p>Crawford said Wednesday was a time to witness &#8220;the time-honored tradition of the transfer of leadership, the transfer of authority, and most importantly, the transfer of responsibility.&#8221; He said he considers the depot to be &#8220;one of the absolute crown jewels of the U.S and this great nation.&#8221;</p><p>Crawford reflected on Schr&#246;ter&#8217;s three years as commander, noting the many changes.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important that we remember the changes to (what we call) the strategic environment,&#8221; Crawford said. &#8220;Through all of this you and the team at Tobyhanna have survived in this environment, but you in many cases lead the way for Army and our nation in delivering readiness to our most valuable asset, and that&#8217;s our soldiers and civilians who are out on point for this nation every day in deployed locations.&#8221;</p><p>Crawford also offered Peterson some advice as he begins his new assignment.</p><p>&#8220;The first thing is to find a way each day to thank someone in this organization for what they do for you, this organization and what they do for the nation,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Leave your office and search out someone you don&#8217;t see every day and thank them. Enjoy the honor of leading the nation&#8217;s finest.&#8221;</p><p>Schr&#246;ter directed his remarks to Peterson and the team at Tobyhanna. He said: &#8220;We are a $900-million, high-technology business composed of over 3,800 professionals who accomplish excellence in electronics ranging from small circuit cars to large strategic ground satellite terminals.&#8221;</p><p>Peterson comes to Tobyhanna as a graduate of the Eisenhower School at Ft. McNair, Washington, D.C. Prior to that he was deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, as the Chief of Logistics for Combined Joint Task Force 3 from 2012-13.</p><p>Tobyhanna is part of the Army command responsible for providing soldiers with communications/electronics equipment. Tobyhanna&#8217;s capabilities include overhaul and repair, fabrication, engineering design and development, systems integration, technology insertion, modification, and global field support.</p><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta><p>Reach Bill O&#8217;Boyle at 570-991-6118 or on Twitter @TLBillOBoyle.</p></shirttailMeta></div>
