MILLINGTON, Tn. – As Americans reflect on the service of military men and women this Veterans Day, some may not realize that they are fellow residents with those who serve in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
Petty Officer 1st Class Mohammed Kamran Hasan, a resident of Fitchburg, Wisconsin supports and defends freedom around the world, as a Navy information systems technician.
Hasan is a 1987 Comprehensive High School, Karachi, Pakistan, graduate and native of Madison, Wisconsin, Hasan also earned a degree from Winona State University in 1996 majoring in business.
Reservists seamlessly support and actively aid military missions while continuing to lead their own independent lives in the civilian world, according to Navy officials.
“The Navy Reserve is a 100,000-strong team of sailors embedded across the fabric of society, loyal and dedicated patriots, serving both in uniform and civilian jobs, ready to defend the homeland and deploy across the world in a moment’s notice,” said Vice Adm. Luke McCollum, Chief of Navy Reserve.
The Navy Reserve provides strategic depth to America’s Navy as it protects the American homeland and advances economic prosperity by preserving freedom of the seas.
“Balancing the civilian life and military life is very hard, it requires a lot of discipline and planning ahead of time,” said Hasan.
As a Navy reservist Hasan serves with Naval Operational Support Center Madison, responsible for taking care of the area of responsibility in the Middle East.
Hasan is playing an important part in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.
A key element of the Navy the Nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water; 80 percent of the world’s population lives close to a coast; and 90 percent of all global trade by volume travels by sea.
“Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.”
Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Hasan is most proud of finishing a challenging deployment with his command.
As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Hasan and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs.
“Serving in the Navy allows me to pay my dues to my adopted homeland as a naturalized citizen,” said Hasan.
