WHITEHALL, Ohio – Regional Support Commands are unique elements to the Army Reserve. The 88th RSC is, perhaps, the most unique in terms of geography.
With Soldiers, civilians and facilities spread across 19 states from Ohio to Washington, commanders must take every opportunity to visit and meet face-to-face whenever they can. Major Gen. Patrick Reinert, commanding general of 88th RSC, led an awards ceremony at Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) 56 at Whitehall, Ohio, Aug. 29 and used that ceremony as an opportunity to visit with other Soldiers and civilians at the AMSA and Reserve enter there.
“It’s really important to see the folks as they’re working and to see the team at the pointy end of the spear to provide the best support that we can,” Reinert said.
While visiting AMSA 56, Reinert toured the maintenance bays and supply cages while talking with the civilians that work there.
“It’s good to have people from up higher recognize what we do here at the lower level. That helps out with our mechanics on the floor and our electronics and weapons guys and all the people that do the work,” said David Graham, a heavy mobile equipment repair supervisor for Area Maintenance Support Activity (AMSA) 56.
Reinert continued his visit with a tour of the Reserve center along with meeting the Buckeye Regional Personnel Action Center staff and a tour of the new 338th Army Band practice facilities.
