Summary: DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Simeon G. Trombitas, commanding general, Joint Task Force-Haiti. As JTF-Haiti service members continue to redeploy to their home stations, the time is nearing for JTF-Haiti to stand down and transition its mission to a more traditional U.S. Southern Command Theatre Security Cooperation.
