CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait – Soldiers of the 3rd Human Resources Sustainment Center based out of Jackson, Mississippi, held a transfer of authority ceremony with the 14th HRSC based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Nov. 29, at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.
The ceremony marked the end of the 3rd HRSC’s nine-month deployment to Kuwait in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
During the ceremony, the 14th HRSC assumed responsibility from the 3rd HRSC for providing theater level human resources support.
Brig. Gen. Daniel Mitchell, deputy commanding general of the 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) and reviewing officer for the ceremony, said the ceremony was simple but special.
Mitchell highlighted some of the 3rd HRSC’s notable accomplishments including providing oversight of more than 7 million pounds of mail, tracking the movement of more than 200,000 Soldiers and processing more than 2,000 casualty reports.
“Thank you for your service and sacrifices,” said Mitchell. “Your unit has served our Army with honor and distinction,” he said.
The acting director of the 3rd HRSC, Lt. Col. Daphne Dixon-Reed thanked the 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) for their support and also recognized the accomplishments of the Soldiers of the 3rd HRSC.
“We are proud of your accomplishments and the sacrifices you have made,” said Dixon-Reed.
“You are representing the finest tradition of public service. What you have done here will continue to shape human resources operations in theater,” she said.
The director of the 3rd HRSC, Col. Emily Perry who could not attend the ceremony said she was proud of the 3rd HRSC’s accomplishments and also welcomed the 14th HRSC, noting that their collective actions would influence and shape human resources sustainment for years to come.
“Now we have our place in history and so will you,” said Perry.
The director of the 14th HRSC, Col. Ralph Williams thanked the 3rd HRSC for the phenomenal job they did and said the 14th HRSC was, “fully aware of the mission we are charged with and ready to execute.”
“We have little to say today but much to prove,” he said.
“We are eager to blaze new paths throughout the area of operations. We are trained and ready and look forward to the next nine months,” said Williams.
