FORT BLISS, Texas - The 22nd Human Resources Company from Joint Base Lewis-McChord deployed a small detachment to Europe, Feb. 13, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and to facilitate the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan.
One of their stops while in route to their destination was here.
“We are all excited, it’s a new mission that we are about to do,” said 2nd Lt. Holly Pappafotis, officer in charge of the platoon size detachment. Pappafotis expressed her gratitude to the leadership of JBLM and her chain of command, “They did great in getting us ready and sending us off.”
Spc. Joseph Anderson, a human resource specialist, has had a few tours to Korea and looks forward to the deployment.
“This is something new for me. It’s a whole new experience and it boosts my confidence,” said Anderson.
With four tours to Iraq under his belt, Human Resource Specialist Sgt. Bart Khan is eager to deploy and board the plane while waiting at the Arrival/Departure Air Control Group, here.
“This is a whole new mission for us,” said Khan. “I like taking care of soldiers, and I can’t wait to get started. I appreciate all the support and thank you for giving me the opportunity for sending me on this mission.”
