Were you confused about yesterday's post? Or maybe you just wanted to learn a little more about who was changing command and why?
You can find the structure of our larger organization here.
We fall under the 20th Support Command CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear & high-yield Explosives) - sounds a little scary, right? Well, it is. But someone's gotta do it...and you can see from the organizational structure that there are LOTS of people who engage with this stuff daily.
As you scroll down the page, you'll notice the different "Brigades" or "Groups" - do you see 71st (headquartered in Fort Carson, CO)? That's our Brigade (we call them "Group"). Do you see us? The 84th? That's our Battalion. And all the smaller companies (not sure why the HHD company is not listed...) that are contained within the 84th.
The Change of Command Ceremony we attended was for our Group Commander at the 71st. The reason my husband participated was because the Ceremony is designed to render honors to the outgoing 71st Commander...while providing the incoming 71st Commander a good look at all the Battalions which he will now oversee & control.
Make more sense now?
So now this photo will make a little more sense:) :
