Episode USARPAC Stories of the Pacific: Part 2
The Stories of the Pacific episodes bring together seven Soldiers whose experiences reflect the depth, diversity and purpose of the U.S. Army in the Indo-Pacific, where the Army operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment.
Our co-hosts sat down at AUSA’s LANPAC event in Hawaii back in May to meet incredible leaders in the U.S. Army Pacific Command, from junior enlisted to more senior levels. Their voices represent the Total Army and provide an authentic look at service in one of the most important regions in the world.
In the second of two episodes, they speak with SSG Haitham Resen, an Iraqi interpreter who later joined the U.S. Army, SSG Samuel Elston, a wrestler pursuing his MBA, 1LT Blake Mitchell, a champion handball player and recognized Army intel officer, and SGT Luis Mendez who showed heroic dedication during the Hawaii flooding.
