    Military Sealift Command in March charted American Roll-on Roll-Off Carrier (ARC) ship MV Endurance to load 1,333 pieces of critical U.S. Army cargo that included Army tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored personnel carriers, and support vehicles used to take part in Operation Atlantic Resolve in support of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division’s deployment to Europe. Leading the way throughout MV Endurance’s 18-day voyage to Europe were two female Reserve Tactical Advisors (TACADS), LCDR Fionna Boyle and ENS Rosvelly Medina. “TACADs embark Navy vessels under operational control of Military Sealift Command as advisors to the ship’s master and act as a liaison between MSC ashore personnel, Maritime Administration (MARAD), and Navy contingency operations, Boyle said. Pictured above is ENS Medina (left) and IT1(SW) Alvin Braithwaite who are working together to ensure the handheld mobile device, used as part of the TACAD communications gear aboard the vessel, is operational. Braithwaite is a part of the Army's N646 Department Mobile Team and played an instrumental role aboard Endurance, instructing and training TACADs in the Mobile Expeditionary Communication Kit.
