ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Alaska Army National Guard has a new commander.
Anchorage television station KTUU reports Col. Joseph Streff took the helm from Brig. Gen. Mike Bridges at a ceremony Sunday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.
Streff is the first new commander under the administration of Alaska Gov. Bill Walker.
The Guard is emerging from an investigation of alleged sexual misconduct among its ranks. The issue played a high-profile role in the 2014 gubernatorial race, which was under way during the release of a scathing federal report of sexual misconduct and fraud within the Guard.
