πŸŽ“ Welcome Our Newest Instructors! πŸŽ“

Please join us in congratulating the newest members of the 193rd Regiment (RTI) instructional team on successfully graduating from the Common Faculty Development - Instructor Course (CFD-IC)!

CFD-IC is a rigorous 80-hour, 10-day U.S. Army TRADOC certification course designed to develop skilled instructors, trainers, and facilitators.

We are proud to welcome these newly certified instructors to the 193rd RTI team and look forward to the knowledge, experience, and leadership they will bring to our classrooms.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and thank you for your dedication to Army education and training!

🧭 Future Leaders in Motion | OCS Preparation Underway πŸͺ–

Officer Candidates from Region B β€” DEARNG, MDARNG, and DCARNG β€” recently converged at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in Elkton, Maryland, for a demanding and purpose-driven training weekend.

Over two days, these future leaders:

This joint training event plays a vital role in building confidence, resilience, and readiness as they prepare to take on the next milestone β€” OCS Phase 1 kicking off next month.

The foundation is being set. The standard is high. The journey is just beginning.
