    FORT DEVENS, Mass. — Col. Donald E. Howell, director of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command's Human Resources Command — Europe based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and Sgt. Maj. Richard Miller, also with HRSC. Europe, visited Silver Scimitar 2010 today.
    Silver Scimitar is the U.S. Army Reserve Command level multi-component human resources training exercise designed to prepare units to conduct HR missions within every theater of operations.

    "It's a confidence building exercise for our personnel who are going to be deployed and the HR community as a whole," said Howell.

    Silver Scimitar is an opportunity to get HR Soldiers from all over the Army together and challenge them to learn from each other how to employ their competence and proficiencies, said Howell.

    "We brought three postal subject matter experts and 13 trainees to stay abreast of changes in doctrine," said Miller, a native of Kankakee, Ill.

    These 16 Soldiers join approximately 800 personnel from more than 30 other units from the Reserves, National Guard and Active Duty in the Army's premiere HR exercise.

    This is the second Silver Scimitar exercise for Howell, who has held the position of director of HRSC Europe since its inception Oct. 16, 2008.
