AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

Military Technician Michael Esser conducts maintenance training on a generator with Army Reserve Soldiers Spc. John Channer and Sgt. Suman Lama of the 818th Maintenance Support Co. at the 88th Regional Support Command’s Equipment Concentration Site 67 on Fort McCoy Wis., May 18. These Soldiers represent the more than 300 service members who will be conducting real-world hands-on training with the 88th RSC this year as part of Operation Platinum Support. The goal of operation is to allow Army Reserve Soldiers in low-density supply and maintenance specialties to perform and gain proficiency in their technical skills while acting in direct support to the numerous exercises taking place on Fort McCoy. By the completion of Operation Platinum Support, these supply and maintenance Soldiers will have processed and inventoried thousands of pieces of equipment and are projected to complete more than 100 service and repair work orders.
