    FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa- Spc. Kristine Kennedy, a native of Lebanon, serves as a human resources specialist for the 213th Personnel Company, 728th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 213th Regional Support Group, Pennsylvania Army National Guard.

    Kennedy helps ensure Soldier readiness by processing Army promotions, transfers and deployment documents.

    “I love my job,” said Kennedy. “I make sure that Soldiers have peace of mind and focus on the mission by ensuring that their documentation and paperwork is correct.”

    In her spare time, she volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, an organization which empowers children to reach their highest potential through mentoring.

    “I enjoy helping children who have life struggles and difficulties reach their goals and become successful young people,” said Kennedy.
