FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. — The Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) held a change of responsibility ceremony Aug. 6, 2026, on Brown Parade Field, formally transferring duties from Command Sgt. Maj. Michael J. Runk to incoming Command Sgt. Maj. Adam B. Schuessler.
Maj. Gen. Jacqueline D. McPhail, NETCOM commanding general, presided over the event, which featured a presentation of gifts, a salute of honors and remarks from senior leaders. Special guests included Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, commanding general of Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), and Command Sgt. Maj. Jebin Heyse, ARCYBER command sergeant major, who attended to witness the change and offer their support to the NETCOM team.
Runk, a native of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, enlisted in 1997 and has a distinguished record of service that includes multiple special operations and signal assignments and deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
