250115-N-FT324-2288. GUANTANAMO, Cuba (Jan. 15, 2025). Lt. Cmdr. Mikaela Pitcan, assigned to Joint Task Force Guantanamo, poses with her team on board Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, during her deployment in support of overseas contingency operations. The image highlights the strength of joint operations and partnership between the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. During her deployment Pitcan served as the sole psychologist and trusted mental health advisor to more than 1,500 Joint Task Force (JTF) warfighters across nine tenant commands. Mental resilience is key to deployability—strengthening a warfighter’s ability to perform, recover, and stay mission-ready in any environment. (U.S. Navy Photo Released by Lt. Cmdr. Alicia Sacks)
