    gt. Maj. of the Army Michael R. Weimer visited the Puerto Rico National Guard’s headquarters Aug. 4, 2025, where he met with the Adjutant General of Puerto Rico, Maj. Gen. Carlos J. Rivera Román and his staff. The day's schedule included a National Leadership Council Teams call at the Recruiting and Retention Battalion, a filmed engagement with Recruiting and Retention Battalion Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Ortiz, and a town hall with full-time support enlisted leaders. In the open forum, Weimer addressed topics such as readiness, modernization, recruiting and retention, gender representation, and improvements to training sites like Camp Santiago.

    "The visit of Sergeant Major Weimer has been a clear demonstration of the Army leadership's interest in our troops and local programs. It has been a valuable experience for our Soldiers and our community," Rivera Román said.

    The visit underscored the importance of mentorship and professional growth, while reaffirming the Army’s commitment to caring for every Soldier and preparing them to meet tomorrow’s challenges with confidence and skill.
