CPT Taccarra Linson was born in Detroit, Michigan but raised all over due to her mother being in the military. Upon graduating with her Bachelor’s of Art degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, CPT Linson enlisted in the Army in May 2005. Her first assignment was as a medic with 55th Military Police in Camp Casey, Korea. In August 2010 she was accepted to participate in the AMEDD Enlisted Commissioning Program (AECP) to go back to school to become a registered nurse. She attended the University of Maryland-Baltimore and commissioned in March 2013. After graduating from Basic Officer Leader Course, CPT Linson worked as a medical-surgical nurse at Dwight D.

She wrote and established protocols for clinics, quarantine procedures, and worked closely with Air Force counterparts and German public health authorities.
