Public Affairs
CPL XXXXX's efforts were integral to the overwhelming success of the public affairs mission as part of the larger XXXXX mission. He played a vital role in producing large amounts of high-quality, professional media content for the members of the public, distinguished guests, and internally to support the morale of the soldiers on this mission.
CPL XXXXX released a large number of high quality media products to assist in public affairs. He leveraged his experience, intellect, and education to execute all tasks requested of him, exemplifying core Army values and eagerly requested additional tasks.
CPL XXXXX produced more relevent media than all of the other individuals on the XXXXXX mission public affairs team combined, and all were of high quality and intelligently curated to showcase each aspect of the mission for display to the public in a positive manner.
Notably, CPL XXXXX's products were used by local news media as part of B-Roll footage, helping foster a positive image and impact between local media and Army Public Affairs team members, and the Army as a whole. Without XXXXX, the workload on the public affairs team would increase exponentially and the quality of the media products released would be significantly lower.
