RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany - Soldiers and human resources professionals stationed across Europe came together to celebrate the U.S. Army's Adjutant General's Corps' 240th birthday at the 2015 European Chapter AG Corps Regimental ball at the Ramstein Officers' Club here, May 9.
Col. Karolyn Hooper, the United States Army NATO Brigade commander, served as guest speaker of the event which was hosted by the European chapter of the Adjutant General's Corps Regimental Association.
Hooper's remarks focused on the work human resources professionals do daily to maintain the Army and the important work they do to support organizations here in Europe as they face new challenges, operate in new environments and deliver the same strategic effects once required of hundreds-of-thousands more Soldiers.
During the event, the European chapter's president, Sgt. Maj. Ronald Walker and Hooper also presented awards to Soldiers for achievements over the last year as well as scholarship-award checks for Department of Defense Schools students for academic achievement with funds raised by chapter members.
