12/11/2014 - NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. -- Col. Victor D. Brown assumed command of the 914th Aeromedical Staging Squadron here on Dec. 6.

Brown served as the chief of Dental Services for the 914th ASTS. He entered the Air Force Reserve by direct commission in 2001 and has participated in several international missions.

"I'm very excited to take command of a wonderful, supportive unit and honored to serve the 914th Airlift Wing," said Brown, who has a civilian dental practice in Coudersport, Pennsylvania.

Brown is a member of the Academy of General Dentistry which is dedicated to life-long learning for the dental profession. He has been married to Linda, his wife of 39 years, and he credits his father-in law's distinguished military career as a primary factor for his enlistment into the Air Force Reserve.

"There will be challenges for me as I move into an administrative role and away from direct patient care," said Brown. "However, I am most excited to watch the young Airmen, who I now command, progress in their careers while serving their country."
