U.S. Army 1st Lt. Madison Jones, an engineer officer assigned to the 92nd Engineer Battalion, 526th Engineer Construction Company, at Fort Stewart, Georgia, was raised mainly overseas, but considers herself a native of Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated from Riverside High School in Greer, South Carolina, in 2014. She earned a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from The United States Military Academy in Westpoint, New York, in 2018. “I saw my father serve in the Marine Corps for over 20 years and the desire to help others felt deeply rooted within me. As a competitive swimmer, Westpoint and the Army sought me and it felt like a natural fit. As a woman in the military, the job is hard. It’s full of opportunities to stand in the gap of gender-related issues. It’s hard, but the good and the hard tend to go hand-in-hand. The good is seeing the moments of victory, like when a plan comes together and the systems in place work like they’re intended.” (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Daniel Thompson)
