## Notes
- The "Acting" prefix in Ball's title indicates a temporary command — likely covering the Headquarters Division during a transitional period in 2025. By the September Flock-renewal memo cycle, [[Jonathan Prater]] is the substantive Major Headquarters Division Commander.
- See [[Courtney Bewley]] for the Tech & Equipment Unit Commander; the M500 procurement originated with Lt. Bewley's recommendation memo to Lt. Ball, which Ball then forwarded up the chain to Asst Chief Miller.
