LEESBURG - A Leesburg native has been named the first female commander of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.
Maj. Gen. Polly A. Peyer, who graduated from Leesburg High School in 1967, took command during a recent ceremony at the base.
The center is one of three Air Force air-logistics centers and the largest single-site industrial complex in Georgia, with more than 25,000 people.
"It is an honor to be the commander, regardless of gender," Peyer said.
Peyer, 59, is responsible for worldwide logistics support for C-130 and C-5 transport aircraft, F-15 fighter aircraft, U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, remotely piloted vehicles, Air Force helicopters, air-to-air missiles, surface motor vehicles, high-technology airborne electronics, avionics and electronic warfare requirements.
