An Army Reserve Soldier from the 203rd Transportation Detachment, 359th Transportation Battalion, aboard the Army Logistics Support Vessel 8, the Maj. Gen. Robert Smalls, tosses a line to awaiting Coast Guard members to anchor the ship to the dock at Port Ponce, Puerto Rico, Aug. 22. The ship, one of only a handful in the Army’s arsenal was delivering ammunition and supplies to the Puerto Rican Army National Guard. The historic one-day mission was the first time Army transportation assets had been used to deliver the crucial ammunition to the island and its use saved more than $1 million and provided valuable training in transportation and coordination between all three components of the U.S. Army as well as the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security and a host of civilian law enforcement agencies and civilian contractors. The mission was a part of exercise Nationwide Move 15. NWM is an annual Army Reserve approved functional training exercise designed to provide Reserve Component transportation units with valuable, realistic training, by conducting real-world operations in support of Continental United States (CONUS) activities.
