               87TH COMBAT SUSTAINMENT SUPPORT BATTALION

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two 
units from the 87th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion for their 
participation in Operation Atlantic Resolve in Poland, Romania, and 
Lithuania; and I want to welcome them back home to the First 
Congressional District of Georgia.
  Stationed at Fort Stewart, these battalions are integral to our 
Nation's ability to be successful overseas. Throughout different 
periods of its history, 87th Combat Sustainment Support Battalions have 
provided maintenance, convoy security, supply transportation, and more 
for branches of the U.S. Army fighting to restore democracy abroad.
  As a part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, these battalions worked hard 
to increase their readiness and build cooperation between our own 
forces and our allies in Europe. At any one time there are 6,000 
American soldiers participating in Operation Atlantic Resolve 
conducting exercises across 17 countries.
  To Lieutenant Colonel David Alvarez, Command Sergeant Major Ryan 
Stamos, and everyone involved with the 87th Combat Sustainment Support 
Battalions, I thank you for your service, and welcome home.
