Lightning Dragon Family,
We want to proudly recognize a Change of Command for the 25th Chemical Company, bidding farewell to CPT Christopher Weber and welcoming CPT Michael Duncan as Company Commander.

We extend our sincere appreciation to CPT Weber for his 16 months of meritorious service and dedicated leadership of the 25th CM Co. His commitment to Soldiers, readiness, and mission accomplishment strengthened the company and contributed to the success of the battalion.

We are equally excited to welcome CPT Michael Duncan, joining the 25th CM Co. We look forward to his leadership and are excited to see all that he will accomplish with the company as part of the Lightning Dragon team.

Congratulations to both commanders on this important milestone. The 83d Chemical Battalion stands ready to support the 25th CM Co as they continue to Confront Any Mission! ⚡🐉🇺🇸

1st place - HHC

2nd place - 51st CM CO

3rd - 59th CM

The DEC 2025 Best Squad Competition has begun! At the end of day 1, we have a 4-way tie for second place and is closer than ever. With day 1 in the books, day 2 is on the horizon with double the number of events which makes it anyone’s opportunity to come out on top!

Day 2 complete and the results are in! Lightning Dragons executed several events today consisting of tactical movements, drill and ceremony, team building and several others while showcasing their skills and representing their companies. It might be cold here at FSGA, but things are heating up as squads prepare for the last two events tomorrow morning!
