FORT BRAGG, N.C. - This week's 'Lightning' Brigade Soldier of the week is Sgt. Luis Rios, a culinary specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 525th Military Intelligence Brigade.
Rios is being recognized for his hard work and effective ability to partner with other organizations and develop creative problem solving skills enabling the 319th Military Intelligence Battalion to successfully deploy its Mobile Kitchen Trailer for the first time in efforts to support the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion.
