LTG Luckey checks on Soldiers of the 432nd Transportation Company in Ceiba, Puerto Rico
Sgt. 1st Class Kendall Messina, a U.S. Army Reserve Soldier assigned to the 432nd Transportation Company in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, explains the different ongoing missions assigned to the 432nd Transportation Company to Lt. Gen. Charles D. Luckey, Chief of the Army Reserve, and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, during his visit to the 166th Regional Support Group at Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, October 22, 2017. The 432nd Transportation Company has been providing transportation of food, water and power generators supporting Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Army Reserve is part of a synchronized Federal emergency response system for immediate assistance. Providing timely and appropriate response to an incident remains one of the Army’s key operational concepts. The Army Reserve’s enabling capabilities remain a key component of this system by maintaining a variety of readily available capabilities including aviation, civil affairs, engineering, medical, supply and logistics that can be committed to Defense Support of Civil Authorities missions. These capabilities help the Army and Army Reserve’s community-based force save lives, prevent human suffering and extensive property damage when domestic disaster threaten the homeland. America’s Army Reserve is the most capable, combat-ready, and lethal Federal Reserve force in the history of the Nation. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Spc. Anthony Martinez)
