Last week was a busy and rewarding one for the 20th CBRNE Command as we hosted both our FY26 Retention Excellence Award in Leadership (REAL) competition and our 1st Quarter Retention Training Event here at APG, MD!

First, a massive congratulations to our FY26 REAL winner, MSG Darnel Muniz with the 71st Ordnance Group (EOD) from Fort Carson, CO! After a grueling competition that included an Army Fitness Test, a 50-question written exam, a demanding mystery event, and a formal board, MSG Muniz proved he is the best of the best. We're excited to see him go on to represent the 20th CBRNE Command at the WHC level. Let's all wish him luck!

We also had the honor of hosting our Career Counselors for our 1st Quarter Training. This event was a fantastic opportunity for our geographically dispersed team to come together for valuable training on iPPSA, NCOER tips and tricks, and an insightful branch brief. The week was capped off with a successful team-building event that brought everyone closer together.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made these events a resounding success. A special shout-out to our trainers, including our 79S Senior Career Management NCO, MSG Kress, for sharing their expertise and making this a premier training event. Your dedication is what keeps our Command strong!
