The 20th CBRNE Command, which houses the bulk of the Army’s specialized EOD and CBRN units, plays a critical role in countering global threats. From this base in northeastern Maryland, teams are dispatched to operations worldwide. Richmond served both in the command’s future operations unit and as the head of Weapons of Mass Destruction Coordination Team 1, a role that involved regular deployments to Europe for planning and coordinating counter-WMD strategies with U.S. Army Europe-Africa.
His responsibilities included participating in high-level military exercises such as Freedom Shield, Austere Challenge, and Global Defender. He was also instrumental in organizing EOD Day on Capitol Hill, allowing technicians to connect with lawmakers about their mission. Richmond’s earlier service included leadership at the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal School in Florida, where he trained future joint-service EOD technicians.
