Kudos to U.S. Army Capt. Rebecca Taft, a dedicated critical care nurse from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, for her professionalism during the 2024 MEDREX exercise in Ghana, Africa recently. Her efforts were instrumental in exchanging medical practices, procedures, and techniques with African partners. This collaboration strengthens treatment capabilities and builds lasting relationships. Her hard work is truly making a global impact!

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their courage and patriotism have not only protected our nation but have also significantly contributed to advancing clinical research and medical breakthroughs. Throughout history, the military has been instrumental in developing life-saving treatments, preventive measures, and medical technologies that have had a profound impact on countless lives. From antimalarial drugs to trauma care innovations, their sacrifices have paved the way for groundbreaking progress in healthcare. An exemplary instance is the establishment of the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1893, known for its pioneering work in preventative medicine, including the development of the first successful yellow fever vaccine. Military clinicians and researchers have tirelessly strived to enhance health outcomes for both military personnel and civilians, even in challenging conditions. On this Memorial Day, we express our deep gratitude to the fallen heroes and the dedicated individuals who have advanced scientific knowledge through their service. Their commitment to protecting and improving human life through medical innovation is truly inspiring and a testament to the noblest of causes. Let us honor their legacy by reaffirming our support for clinical research that continues their impactful work. Their sacrifices remind us of the importance of striving for medical progress to enhance and save lives. We will always remember and appreciate their service. #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #studystartup #clinicaltrials #healthcare #clinicalresearch #patientrecruitment #sitemanagement #clinicaldevelopment #clinicaltrial #clinicaloperations #clinicalstudy #clinicalsupply

Officer Spotlight! 🌟 Officer Nguyen immigrated to the United States from Vietnam when he was a young boy. He followed in his father's footsteps by joining the military, and eventually went on to serve the public as a peace officer. Officer Nguyen joined APD in 2020 and is part of our Recruiting Unit. His story involves much more than these few words, so we wanted to highlight his background and career here at APD during our last day of Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month. Check out the video below! #RelationalPolicing #CommunityCommitment

CEO @Leavers to Leaders Academy | Author of three Career Strategy Books | Scholar | Founder @Op: Belonging | Veteran @HM Forces | Youth Development and more
Since World War I, Foreign & Commonwealth military personnel have played a crucial role in the British Army Forces, with over 2.5 million foreign and Commonwealth soldiers fighting alongside allied forces. However, career transition for this community is never straightforward, and we understand the unique challenges that this community faces. Today, according to the latest census, 48,000 non-UK-born veterans and their families and children live in the UK. We know that the transition to civilian life can be difficult, and we are here to offer our support. As a community, we at Leavers to Leaders International Network (LTLIN) have achieved a lot this year, including commemorating the sacrifices of previous generations of Black and Foreign and Commonwealth soldiers in the world wars, partnering with key organizations across the UK and internationally to support our diverse network, celebrating key events as a community, and finally launching OP: BELONGING to help military units & civilian organisations better understand who we are and what we bring to them. I have had the utmost honour to serve alongside these amazing people from around the world, and together we contribute to the diversity of culture in the British Armed Forces and the marketplace. This is our message of empathy and support to the world, and we hope you find comfort and inspiration in our shared experiences. #Commonwealth #strongertogether #leaverstoleaders #leaverstoleaders #military #militarytransition #militaryfamilies #britisharmy #royalnavy #royalairforce

Lieutenant General Simon Stuart AO DSC: It is one thing to sit at the Royal Commission table expressing apologies and assurances, and stating a commitment “…to doing something about it”. What exactly does this commitment look like? Are you committed to meeting with former serving Veterans and their families whose lives have been scarred by these failures? Will you take concrete steps to provide positive and tangible outcomes for those who have been impacted by the mistreatment within Defence?
The Chief of the Australian Army, Lieutenant General Simon Stuart AO DSC, has appeared at the Royal Commission’s final hearing in Sydney today, giving an assurance that he “owns” the problem of military suicide and is “committed to doing something about it”. General Stuart has acknowledged the significance of the inquiry and thanked those with lived experience of suicide and suicidality for their courage in coming forward and sharing their stories. He’s told the Royal Commission that the Army’s prioritisation of its people is “axiomatic” – and offered an unreserved and sincere apology to those in its ranks who it’s failed. #DVSRC

Trauma & Wellness Coach | Transforming Trauma into Purpose-Driven Service | Founder @ Amistar | Transition Mentor | Retreat Facilitator | USAF Veteran (25 yrs)
Honor. Remember. Breathe. Check in with yourself, check in with your brothers and sisters. It's OK to not be OK sometimes. Please try to be OK most of the time. And if you need help, please find a therapist, a coach, a retreat, a movement practice, a meditation practice, or whatever helps you come back to center. 🙏🏽✨ #Extortion17 #NeverForget #NeverForgotten #VeteransHelpingVeterans #WellnessCoach #TraumaCoach #Veteran
On August 6, 2011, a CH-47 Chinook helicopter—call sign Extortion 17—was shot down in the Wardak province of Afghanistan, resulting in the largest single-day loss in Special Operations history. 38 lives were lost that day including 25 U.S. Special Operations Personnel, five U.S. Army Crewmen and eight Afghan Commandos—as well as one U.S. Military Working Dog. Sadly, 34 children lost their father that day. SOWF remains resolute in our commitment to be there for each of these children, every step of the way, during their respective educational journeys. Today, please pause to pay tribute to the fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, and friends who were lost 12 years ago. Feel free to share, comment, and add your own memories as we remember the sacrifices these heroes made for our country and our freedom! #NeverForgotten #Extortion17 #LLTB
