Before his current assignment, he was deputy commanding officer of 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, at Fort Benning between July 2003 and July 2006.

Haskins has been re-assigned to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., where he will serve as the director of military instruction, the release said.
