🚨 ARMY POLICY UPDATE! 🚨 New Army Directive: Clarifying Grooming Standards

Army Directive 2025-18 introduces updated standards for grooming, appearance, uniform wear and body composition. The directive emphasizes military appearance as a reflection of discipline, professionalism, and a shared commitment to the Army’s values.

Please join me in welcoming CSM Clint T. Hale as the new Command Sergeant Major for the 420th Engineer Brigade. CSM Hale joins us from 1st Brigade, 98th Division, and we are excited for the leadership, guidance, and mentorship he will bring to our formation.

A note from CSM Hale:

“Right place, right time, right uniform, be accountable.”

Let’s extend our full support as he steps into this role and continues to uphold the standards that make our brigade strong.

This week, we pause to reflect on a truth that often goes unspoken: behind the uniform, behind the mission, behind the strength there are hearts that carry burdens. Su***de Prevention Week is not just a campaign. It’s a call to action, a reminder that no one walks alone.

As your Chaplain, I, and the UMT want you to know: you are seen. You are valued. And you are never beyond reach.

If you are struggling, please reach out. If you see someone hurting, lean in. A simple conversation can be life-saving. A moment of compassion can be the light someone needs to find their way back.

Let us be the ones who listen without judgment, who speak hope into despair, and who remind each other that healing is possible.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we protect.

The 420th Engineer Brigade bids farewell to COL John Cobbs and extends a warm welcome to COL Adam Rasmussen during our Change of Command ceremony.

Thank you, COL Cobbs, for your incredible leadership and dedication your impact will not be forgotten.

Welcome to the team, COL Rasmussen! We’re excited for what lies ahead under your command.

Congratulations to our current Command Sergeant Major for being selected for Command Sergeant Major of the 100th Training Division!

Congratulations to CSM Christian Davis on being selected as the next Command Sergeant Major of the 100th Training Division.

Welcome Home, 420th Engineer Brigade!

After nine months in Kuwait supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, our Soldiers have returned to Fort Bliss, Texas. Their dedication and selfless service are a true testament to their resilience, commitment, and sacrifice.

Welcome home — job well done!
