PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. (Dec. 4, 2014) -- Lt. Col. Juan Crockett, command chaplain for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, visited Nov 13-14 to assess the spiritual welfare of the workforce, the availability of counseling venues and the primary concerns of the leadership.
On Nov. 13, Crockett hosted a Resiliency and Moral Leadership forum with senior leaders of the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center or ARDEC.
Crockett gave an overview of resilience, its benefits and discussed the Army family, Army values and how the health and wellness of the workforce begins with senior leaders.
Throughout his two-day visit, Crockett toured a number of ARDEC laboratories, receiving an overview of the center's capabilities and how the lab functions are interconnected to enhance the greater ARDEC mission and ultimately support the warfighter.
Matthew Stracco of the ARDEC Human Capital Management Office briefed Crockett on ARDECs Wellness and Resiliency Initiatives. These initiatives directly support Crockett's visit and are part of Objective Four of the ARDEC Strategic Plan.
Crockett also visited other installation operations, including the garrison's Army Community Service. This portion of the tour was intended to demonstrate how ARDEC, the garrison and other tenant organizations at Picatinny Arsenal are working together to cultivate a climate of synergy, which supports the wellness of the Picatinny community as a whole.
