The change of command ceremony held at 2ID¡¯s Robertson Field marked the end of Gilland¡¯s tenure where he balanced the task of maintaining unit readiness with diplomacy and community relations. His focus on ensuring the division was trained to respond to emergencies became apparent during the coronavirus outbreak. 2ID was responsible for the quarantine process for all U.S. Forces-Korea personnel coming in to the ROK, resourcing and processing thousands of military personnel and their families and ensuring safety and compliance with military and Korean requirements to decrease the spread of the virus.
