The United States Army Network Enterprise Technology Command held a retirement ceremony in the Greely Hall auditorium to honor Mr. Charles W. Godwin Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Brian Lenzmeier after decades of distinguished service to military intelligence and cyberspace operations.

Godwin concluded a 32 year career that began as an Armor Battalion S2 in Mannheim, Germany and progressed through a series of intelligence and counterintelligence assignments across Europe, the Balkans and the United States. After transitioning from active duty he continued to serve as a Department of Defense Intelligence Personnel System civilian, standing watch during the immediate post 9/11 period and later serving as NETCOM Deputy G2. During his last decade he led efforts to transform NETCOM intelligence capacity into an actionable cyberthreat analysis capability and helped expand five Regional Cyber Centers, adding personnel and enduring capability that will support network defense for years.

Lenzmeier retired after a career that began in the Army Reserve as an intelligence analyst and included commissioning as an armor officer. His service included leadership and advisory roles in South Korea and Iraq, company command and staff positions at the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, instructor duties at MIBOLC, international student affairs at Fort Huachuca, and an academic post at Arizona State University. Most recently he served as the ACE Chief at NETCOM with a focus on intelligence support to cyberspace operations.

Both men were recognized for mentorship, technical expertise and institutional impact. Family members attended the ceremony including Lenzmeier’s wife Dr. Shannon Lenzmeier and their children and a mother in law. Colleagues said the pair will be missed for their leadership and steady contributions to the Military Intelligence Corps and NETCOM mission.

In a Change of Leadership ceremony at NETCOM headquarters’ Greely Hall auditorium Friday, Lieutenant Colonel Samer Elakkad passed leadership of the Global Cyber Center Operations Division to Lieutenant Colonel Lucas Brown, marking a transfer aimed at sustaining and expanding the Army’s cyber posture.

Commanding General Jacqueline “Denise” McPhail and Command Sergeant Major Michael Runk attended the ceremony, which recognized Elakkad’s tenure for consolidating disparate theater operations into the Army’s first unified Global Cyber Center and for maintaining continuous network operations across a vast user base.

“Elakkad didn’t just run a division; he evolved it,” McPhail said, highlighting the integration of five separate theater operations into a single, automated global picture for commanders. Under his leadership, officials said, the center provided 24/7 Defense Wide Information Network (DOWIN) support for more than 800,000 Total Force users and served as a steady command element during major surges.

Officials praised Elakkad for translating complex cyber threats into clear, strategic guidance for senior leaders and for ensuring mission command remained intact during crises.

Brown, who assumes duties as operations lead, was charged with continuing the center’s globalization and resilience efforts. “The torch is yours to carry forward,” McPhail said, urging Brown to preserve the center’s role as a force-multiplier for NETCOM, the Army and National Security.

The ceremony underscored the increasingly central role of cyber operations in military readiness, with leaders emphasizing continuity, resilience and the quiet, persistent work that undergirds command decisions across the force.
