ARMY RESERVE COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS

Spec. Erroldo Thompson, a U.S. Army Reserve Soldier from the 195th ETO in Tampa, Fl., currently assigned to the 842nd Trans. Bn., “Warhorse,” in Beaumont, Texas, poses holding the 597th Transportation Brigade, ARTRANS, Soldier of the Quarter award he was presented December 16, 2025, at the Army Transportation Museum, at Fort Eustis, Va. Thompson, who is originally from St. Catherine, Jamaica, earned his citizenship through joining the Army and has demonstrated his dedication to truly becoming a “citizen Soldier.” Not only did Thompson show his fitness skills during the AFT, lifting over 300 pounds and burning up the turf on the sprint-drag-carry event according to witnesses, but he is also academic-minded and dedicated to lifelong education; Thompson is going to school to be a radiology technician- when he isn't busy supporting back-to-back port operations with our 842nd “Warhorse” Bn. as they project the force in support of large scale combat operations across the globe. Thompson displayed the bearing, trustworthiness and commitment to ongoing development our board of dedicated senior NCOs demanded… we can’t wait to see what he–and all our future leaders will do!
