The USAISR Command Team and Events Committee hosted a “Welcome Back” gathering to welcome our civilian workforce returning from the government furlough. Staff enjoyed pastries, refreshments, and time to reconnect across the organization. The event also gave COL Brown an opportunity to personally greet returning team members and reaffirm the Institute’s commitment to supporting its people.

It also happened to be Jersey Day, bringing plenty of color, team spirit, and camaraderie throughout the halls of the ISR.

Welcome back and thank you for everything you do to advance combat casualty care.
