FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — The U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear School held a change-of-responsibility ceremony Tuesday in Lincoln Hall Auditorium, where Regimental Chief Warrant Officer 4 Humphrey Hills relinquished responsibility to Regimental Chief Warrant Officer 4 Matthew Chrisman.

Chrisman is the regiment’s fifth regimental chief warrant officer since the position’s inception in 2013, when he was also named the first regimental chief warrant officer — back then, he was a chief warrant officer 2.

Col. W. Bochat, USACBRNS commandant, said warrant officers are technical experts in their field and are, “responsible for the maintenance of equipment, technical training and professional development of enlisted Soldiers and other warrants. They also provide technical guidance to officers and other leaders in their field.”

Bochat also welcomed Chrisman back into the regimental chief warrant officer position.

“He comes to us with experience and fresh eyes to write his own story and the story of warrant officers going forward,” Bochat said.

Chrisman said he is excited to serve in this position again.

“I will be focused on what you need to be successful in the future, while being attentive to closing gaps, which keep you from success right now,” Chrisman said.

Before coming back to the regimental chief warrant officer position, Chrisman was the senior training developer for warrant officer professional military education here.
