SAN DIEGO – Cmdr. Daniel R. Flemming relieved Cmdr. J. Greg Gabriel as commanding officer of Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) San Diego during a change of command and retirement ceremony.
“I want to personally thank the entire IWTC San Diego team for their hard work, dedication to the mission, and service to our great Nation,” said Gabriel. “Serving as CO of the best schoolhouse in the fleet has been the proudest professional accomplishment in my 21 years of Navy service. As I retire from active duty, I am fully confident in the command’s continued success under the exceptional leadership of Commander Danny Flemming.”
Gabriel assumed command of IWTC San Diego in June 2022. He led 240 military, civilian and contracted personnel in delivering more than 60,000 hours of instruction at training sites in California, Washington, Hawaii and Japan.
His people-first attitude, proactive management, meticulous ownership, and tireless work ethic led to significant advances across the domain in areas such as curriculum maintenance, instructor professionalism, and process improvement.
“I am extremely grateful for Greg’s mentorship and exceptional leadership,” said Flemming. “IWTC San Diego is renowned for taking care of its people, delivering world-class training, and helping to shape the future of the Information Warfare Community across the Fleet. I appreciate everyone who contributed to the successful turnover process and look forward to working with this remarkable team.”
Flemming, a native of Loganville, Ga, previously served as the Maritime Intelligence Operations Center at Pacific Fleet, and most recently served as the director of intelligence at Naval Special Warfare Group ONE.
