Command Sergeant Major, USA *Retweet Does Not Equal Endorsement*


The MCoE has been lucky enough to have CSM @DerrickGarner20 as a leader in our command for the past 2+ years. While we are sad to see him go, we know he is the right Soldier for his next assignment with Security Assistance Group - Ukraine (SAG-U). @TRADOC @curtisbuzzard @USArmy













What a night 💥 Thank you to all who came out to celebrate our nation's independence with us! @PatDonahoeArmy @DerrickGarner20 @USArmy @TRADOC @316CAVBDE @194thARBDE @198thOSUT @197SLEDGEHAMMER @199thLeaderBDE @ArmorSchool




Competition breeds excellence! The #BestSquad Competition kicks off tomorrow morning. Eight five-Soldier squads will put their teamwork skills to the test, but only one squad will move on to compete at the @TRADOC level. #BSC @USArmy @USACIMT @DerrickGarner20 @PatDonahoeArmy

THIS IS MY SQUAD. From June 22-24, Fort Benning is hosting a Best Squad Competition, designed to determine the best team on the installation. The winners will move on to the @TRADOC level later this year. #ThisIsMySquad @16thSMA @ArmyChiefStaff @PatDonahoeArmy @DerrickGarner20

Opening remarks by @DerrickGarner20 for the Drill Sergeant of the Year 2022 competitors before the board yesterday. The pressure is on as their knowledge of procedure, composure, and judgement are tested and the leaders do NOT make it easy.

Up, down, jump, climb. Drill Sergeants conduct confidence courses for #OSUT trainees their first week on the ground. These teach future Soldiers how to overcome physical and mental obstacles. #DSOY22 @USArmy @TRADOC @DerrickGarner20 @usacac @USACIMT @PatDonahoeArmy


There’s more to training than just PT and marksmanship! Soldiers must know the doctrine of the @USArmy they’re serving. During #OSUT, Drill Sergeants brief trainees on the ins and outs of the Army. For their #DSOY22 boards this afternoon, competitors must recite their knowledge.

Drill Sergeants are the first people trainees see and learn from as they begin their transition from civilian to Soldier. Take a look at what #DSOY22 competitors were up to in the first day of the competition. @USArmy @TRADOC @198thOSUT @197SLEDGEHAMMER @194thARBDE

Holistic health and fitness is a key aspect of training. Successful Soldiers are physically and mentally fit, which is why most training days start with PT and why the firsts event of #DSOY22 is an #ACFT! @USArmy @TRADOC @DerrickGarner20 @PatDonahoeArmy @198thOSUT
