Today, we proudly bid farewell to a group of outstanding Soldiers from the 493rd Petroleum Support Company as they deploy to Greece in support of DEFENDER 25.💪🏼

These warriors will be providing critical bulk fuel storage support through July, playing a vital role in sustaining operations and strengthening our partnerships abroad. Their expertise and professionalism reflect the best of what the 493rd has to offer, and we know they will represent our company and the U.S. Army with pride.🇺🇸

To our deploying Soldiers — stay sharp, stay safe, and stay motivated. Your team back home is proud of you, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.💪🏼🙏🏼🥳

Fuel the Fight — all the way to Greece! ⛽️💚🇬🇷

Our very talented and versatile NCO, SGT Ariadne Gomez graduated last week with her associate’s in General Studies.

She’s a true example of never giving up and persevering to achieve goals. SGT Gomez is a mother of one, about to be two (7 months this week) while dual military but nothing could stop her from getting her degree. 🎓✏️📚

We couldn’t be more proud of her hardwork and the example she sets in the CO to pursue education. 💚⛽️
