As Civil Affairs soldiers, we are often known as the warrior diplomats of the Army. Over 95% of Civil Affairs serve in the Army Reserve, where our soldiers bring not only their military training but also their civilian expertise to the mission: diplomats, experts in governance, public infrastructure, law, criminal justice, medicine, first responders, cybersecurity, and more. I'm grateful to lead the 440th Civil Affairs Battalion as we begin two-weeks of duty in Hawaii and across the Pacific.
