250315-N-FT324-7470. GUANTANAMO, Cuba (Mar. 15, 2025). Lt. Cmdr. Mikaela Pitcan, assigned to Joint Task Force Guantanamo, poses with her team after receiving her promotion during her deployment to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Her promotion serves as a testament to the strength and professionalism of joint forces operating in support of overseas contingency operations. During her deployment Pitcan served as the sole psychologist and trusted mental health advisor to more than 1,500 Joint Task Force (JTF) warfighters across nine tenant commands. Mental resilience is key to deployability—strengthening a warfighter’s ability to perform, recover, and stay mission-ready in any environment. (U.S. Navy Photo Released by Lt. Cmdr. Alicia Sacks)
