Battalion LPD Focuses on Officer-Rater Relationships

Last training Tuesday, Battalion Commander LTC Huggins hosted a Leadership Professional Development (LPD) session with our EOD future officers. The breakfast meeting focused on the crucial relationship between junior officers and their senior raters, particularly addressing the unique challenges faced by geographically co-located and separated officers.

This timely topic provides valuable insights for our young officers, helping them navigate the complexities of career progression and mentorship.

Next month's LPD breakfast will focus on a leaders and Soldiers mindset as a warfighter.

Huge shoutout to 2LT Jack Frus and 2LT David Miller for their exceptional achievement. They earned the Gold Iron Soldier award after graduating EOD School, a testament to their dedication, physical prowess, and back-to-back 600 ACFT scores.

2LT Frus is headed to Fort Carson as a Platoon Leader, while 2LT Miller is bound for Yakima Training Center. , you're gaining two outstanding leaders.
