JOINT BASE McGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. - Soldiers from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 246th Quartermaster Company, a mortuary affairs unit stationed in Puerto Rico, train at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey Aug. 24 to prepare for an upcoming deployment. The training focused on mission-essential tasks that included those common to all Soldiers, such as Military Operations on Urban Terrain, as well as those specific to mortuary affairs. In a theater of operation, their mission is to search, recover, tentatively identify, and coordinate evacuation of remains through a structured evacuation system.
