Team It seems like just yesterday we were promoting MSG Hunter Black, and now we’re saying goodbye as he departs for his next duty assignment. MSG Black has served #USAMMDA with distinction as our Senior Enlisted Advisor. As a combat medic, he was essential in providing operational guidance and critical expertise to advanced developers throughout the acquisition lifecycle. His experience has been in great demand as he worked with multiple stakeholders across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Army Futures Command, Defense Health Agency, and Army Medicine. We appreciate everything MSG Black has done for #Warfighters, #TeamUSAMMDA, and the U.S. Army Medical Research & Development Command, and we wish him good luck and Godspeed on his next chapter! #Develop #Deliver
