Lt. Gen. Laura J. Richardson, deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army Forces Command, passes the 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives Command (CBRNE) colors to Brig. Gen. James E. Bonner, incoming commander, during a change of command and retirement ceremony on July 19 at McBride Parade Field in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
The first half of the ceremony was the change of command where Brig. Gen. William E. King IV, former commander of the 20th CBRNE Command, relinquished his role as commander.
The 20th CBRNE Command is a highly-technical, special purpose, expeditionary formation of approximately 4,000 Soldiers and 225 Civilians posted across 16 States and 19 installations. The 20th CBRNE Command is comprised of 85 percent of the Army’s active component CBRN and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) forces and was organized specifically to consolidate mission command of these special purpose CBRNE assets under one operational headquarters within U.S. Army Forces Command.
