Fort Drum recently deployed a significant portion of its HR units over the past few months and witnessed the change of leadership within several of its key Army HR billets.

In addition to the 10^th Mountain Division Combat Aviation Brigade deploying to the CENTCOM AOR in the past month, the 510^th Human Resources Company recently deployed two of its Platoons to the CENTCOM AOR as well. The 510^th "Regulators" deployed its Postal Platoon to support theater-level postal operations at the CENTCOM Military Mail Terminal (MMT) this past April, and also deployed one of its Human Resources Platoons to support theater-level personnel accountability operations at the CENTCOM Theater Gateway Personnel Accountability Team (TG PAT) in May. The deployment served as the culminating event of the rigorous training regimen the 510^th executed prior to its Platoons’ deployments.
