Major General Michelle Link shares a heartfelt message with the Soldiers and civilians of the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command.

In honor of Veterans Day, Maj. Gen. Michelle Link commanding general, 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command, expresses her gratitude for all who served in America's armed forces.

Soldiers from the 75th U.S. Army Reserve Innovation Command played a critical role in testing advanced aviation and autonomous systems at Experimental Demonstration Gateway Event 24, a high-profile Army exercise aimed at modernizing air capabilities for future battlefields. Through direct collaboration with industry experts at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, the Soldiers provided frontline insights to refine these cutting-edge technologies, bridging the gap between concept and real-world application.

Less than 1% of Americans serve – or have served – in the Armed Forces. Sustaining the future force means building awareness and strengthening trust among the other 99%: families, employers, community leaders, and the next generation of Soldiers willing to raise their hands and take the oath.

The U.S. Army Reserve has partnered with the Department of the Interior for centralized contract support to expand the Enterprise Building Control Systems (EBCS) program. WellBuilt Solutions was awarded an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract for $30 million over the next five years to integrate additional buildings into the central monitoring system. Additionally, through Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL), the Army Reserve is utilizing funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and the Army Installation Modernization Pilot Program (AIMp2) to pilot and apply innovative technologies to further enhance the program.

The 81st Readiness Division (RD), headquartered at Fort Jackson, SC, installed three new interpretive panels at Army Reserve Centers in Kentucky, Florida, and Georgia, respectively. The panels capture insights into the facilities, their locations, and fascinating historical events. These panels serve as an anchor to the past as they shine a light on the legacies that shaped America and the Army Reserve.
