Sometimes Army Reserve soldiers are in the right place at the right time to make a difference on the national strategic level. One soldier, Maj. Chip Autry, who previously worked in Ice Cream and currently works at a Pharmaceutical company, was just the sort of person needed by the recently completed Operation Warp Speed to help speed along the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
