With the rapid movement and mobilization of DOD personnel in response to the pandemic, the requirement for human resources support for those involved is a critical mission for the unit.

“The platoon's actions will enable higher headquarters to maintain an accurate picture of where supporting military personnel are located throughout the area of operations," said. Furnari.

As the Nation continues to confront the challenges of safeguarding communities and preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Soldiers of 510th HR are motivated by both moral and personal factors at the onset of this mission.

“The Soldiers of the 510th Human Resource Company are deeply honored to have been called upon to serve the Nation during this difficult time,” said Furnari.

“Many Soldiers have friends and family in locations throughout the country that have been particularly hard-hit by COVID-19, and they are eager for the chance to actively participate in their relief efforts,” he concluded.
