CCMR Associate Honored Through Building Int'l Partnerships

By Javier Chagoya

NPS Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) Educational Associate Blaire Harms is presented the U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) Commander's Award for Civilian Service by Army Col. Lawrence Madkins, March 10. The award was presented on behalf of USARPAC Commander Gen. Vincent Brooks in recognition of Harms' service as CCMR liaison to his command from 2012-2014.

"It was flattering to realize that my work at U.S. Army Pacific Exercises was recognized and appreciated. I miss the work I did there and the people I worked with who supported me and helped me be so successful," said Harms.

In her capacity as liaison, she assisted the USARPAC G7 Exercises branch with the design, delivery and assessment of regional security cooperation exercises. Her contributions to developing strategic partnerships with key Asia-Pacific nations, including India, Indonesia and Japan, were noted in her certificate.

Harms now serves as a Program Coordinator for CCMR's Collaborative and Adaptive Security Initiative (CASI) and Prevention, Relief and Recovery (PR&R) programs where she supports education and training activities aimed at bringing together the diverse activities that collectively contribute to field operations in complex mission environments.

"I'm moving from one group of great people in Hawaii to another great group at CCMR," said Harms. "I am excited to be part of the PR&R team and I think that I bring some good organizational skills from my exercise development and execution time at USARPAC. I am also going to be able to reach back to my dissertation research on the role of religion and religious leaders in democratizing states, and that is exciting too."
