COMMENTARY
Command Publishes New Policy Letters Three new Fort Lee Policy Letters were published this week. They outline the installation requirements for registering and reporting privately owned weapons, use of crosswalks and not walking or jogging with headphones. Policy 08-12 is directed to all military and Family members residing on Fort Lee as well as any individual coming onto the installation with a privately owned weapon. Concealed firearms are prohibited, the policy VWDWHV *XQ RZQHUV PRYLQJ LQWR JRYHUQPHQW TXDUWHUV RQ post must register their weapons with the Vehicle and Weapons Registration Office within 96 hours of their arrival. Service members may store weapons at their home, if authorized, or in the arms room of their assigned unit. Troops living in the barracks or residing in transient quarters will register their weapon and store it in the arms room, in accordance with the policy. Those residing off-post – including military, government civilians, contractors and visitors – who bring a weapon onto Fort Lee for authorized activities like hunting, target ranges or marksmanship events must
register their weapons as well. Furthermore, when entering the installation, they must pass through the access control point, declare they are bringing a weapon onto post and state the purpose for doing so to ACP personnel. When transporting weapons on post, gun-owners must have their registration documentation on hand, and they may only travel in a direct route to or from the authorized activity at which the firearm is to be used or stored. Questions about the new policy should be directed to the Provost Marshal Office, the policy states. The subject of Policy Letter 09-12 is Walking/Jogging with Headphones, and it applies to all military and civilian personnel on Fort Lee to include Family members and contractors. “The use of headphones or earphones while walking, jogging, skating, bicycling and skateboarding on installation sidewalks and roads is prohibited,� the policy reads. Headphones or earphones may be worn when using any of the Fort Lee running tracks. (PSKDVL]LQJ WKH VDIHW\ FRQFHUQV DVVRFLDWHG ZLWK walking/jogging with headphones – foremost among

Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, the policy states. Those crossing the street at points where no crosswalk is present must yield the right of way to vehicles (does not apply to troop formations with road guards). The policy letter encourages the use of crosswalks when available and requires pedestrians to obey the “walkâ€? and “don’t walkâ€? signals if they are in operation at any intersection.

Best Warrior To Get Minor Makeover by T. Anthony Bell Senior Writer/Special Projects
Expect this year’s Best Warrior Competition to be a pulse-quickening, gut-wrenching affair. That’s the vision Command Sgt. Maj. James E. Riddick has in mind for the Department of the Army Noncommissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year contest that will play out over a four-day period, Oct. 15-18 at Fort Lee. “I’m looking forward to a great event,” said the Combined Arms Support Command’s top enlisted Soldier and event coordinator during a Best Warrior walk-thru for the event Monday. “It will be really competitive.” Best Warrior is a Sergeant Major of the Armydirected training and showcase event in which Soldiers and NCOs from the Army’s major commands test their skills against one another in subject areas that include field tactics and tasks, written exams, board interviews and the Army Physical Fitness Test. The winner is scheduled to be announced at the Association of the U.S. Army awards ceremony in Washington the following week. Sgt. 1st Class Randall Reed, the Best Warrior planning cell NCO in charge, reiterated what Riddick said about the competitiveness of the event but added it will be unlike any of the past 10 Best Warrior editions. “It will be a high-paced competition that will challenge and surprise the competitors with events we haven’t seen in previous years,” he said, noting he isn’t at liberty to disclose specifics about events or scenarios. Reed said the new face of the event is largely the vision of SMA Raymond F. Chandler III, presiding over his second Best Warrior. Last year’s competition featured a format that had been used the previous three years, but Reed said Chandler has had a heavier hand in shaping this year’s contest, using recent changes in Army training and doctrine as a guide. “The SMA’s guidance has been that the events should be changed and that they reflect the training and tactics of the new Army,” he said. Best Warrior underwent major changes in 2006 when several Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills were added to what was essentially a board competition. Less significant changes have occurred each year since. This year’s changes include a reduction of the competition days from five to four, said Reed. “The competition will be shortened in duration but feature the same type of events,” he said, “so from wake up to bedtime, they’re going to be challenged.” Most of the time savings during the course of the event
blamed on logistics. Fort Lee’s small arms ranges are undergoing renovation and won’t be completed until after the event. As a result, the weapons qualifications and other range events will take place using the Engagement Skills Trainer and Reconfigurable Vehicle Tactical Trainer simulation facilities, said Reed. Other changes include rearranging the order of events. Moving the board competition from the first day to the last day is the most noteworthy adjustment in that respect, said Reed. All in all, Reed said the competition will more than retain its reputation for being an event that is suited to the total Soldier. “The competition is set up to determine the best, wellrounded Soldiers,” he said, “not the smartest, fastest or quickest person and not the best at doing the Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills. The best, well-rounded Soldiers will win the competition.”

They’re supposed to have all the required training prior to their arrival here.” Another change for this year’s competition can be

Squadron Shows Face of Air Force Here by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor
When Lt. Col. Debbie Kent arrived here two years ago to command a newly established squadron on Fort Lee – one responsible for training Airmen in Services and Transportation specialties – her office wasn’t even complete. “When I got here, we didn’t even have an address,” said Kent, who changed command Wednesday and will retire from the Air Force soon. “We didn’t have a piece of equipment – not a telephone, not a fax machine, not a photocopier – the day I got here. None of the facilities were complete.” In 24 months, the 345th Training Squadron has transitioned from plans on paper to six facilities teaching the next generation of Airmen, said Kent. The squadron falls under the 37th Training Group, 37th Training Wing, out of Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Since their arrival, the installation has been nothing but helpful, Kent also not-
ed. Any issue that came up was handled and the Airmen got what they needed. One of Kent’s early concerns was the transportation training facility that would require students to cross Sisisky Avenue up to four times a day for classes. “I took my concerns to the CASCOM commanding general and he completely supported us by helping me get that crosswalk done quickly,” said Kent. “We got the installation support and that crosswalk was there when the first student went to school. We needed the assistance to help the safety of our Airmen and our mission and the post got behind us.” Another thing Kent was worried about was the clothing items the students would need. “They lose items all the time – hats, belts, ties, neckties and physical training pieces,” she said. “I needed them to be able to get access to those items quickly and clothing sales made that happen. The Airmen can’t drive because they are in school, and needed to be able to walk
over and get them.” Although the installation primarily serves the needs of students, Kent said the Family programs at Fort Lee are topnotch and better than what can be found on many Air Force installations. “In my experience, the Army spends more time and money on the Families (than the Air Force),” she said. “So we’ve been able to get the best of both worlds here at Fort Lee. They are much more into Family programs here. We’ve been able to get assistance for some of our Families in the squadron that we couldn’t get elsewhere.” Kent, who served as a speechwriter for an Army three-star and whose husband retired from the Army, said she understood the Army’s language and how they operate. Giving the Airmen an opportunity to interact with the other services gives them an edge over their peers. “When I was brought up in this military several years ago, we wouldn’t talk to someone in another service because we didn’t understand what their uniform
meant,” she said. “We didn’t understand what they did. We weren’t comfortable communicating with them even on a common level. From the experience here at Fort Lee, we give our Airmen a huge advantage over their peers who are not able to work with sister services. They live in a dormitory with the Navy; they live on an Army base and there are a lot of Marines here. I constantly talk to them about getting comfortable with the sister services. “We have this golden opportunity to set our Airmen up for success,” she continued. “Sure, it’s been a challenge, but I think they will be better off as Airmen than their peers who are sitting on an Air Force base and never get exposed to sister services in the joint environment.” Potentially, the Airmen students, instructors or other permanent party is the only glimpse of the Air Force other services may have as well, said Kent.

JCCoE Instructors Visit French Culinary School by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter
Three representatives of the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence here participated in a “chance-of-a-lifetime” trip recently when they visited a culinary school for the military in France. Air Force Master Sgt. Jamie Green, Staff Sgt. Steven Behr and Staff Sgt. David Marcelli – all Advanced Culinary kills instructors – traveled to Normandy earlier this month to work with their French counterparts while JCCoE Director of Training Raymond Beu talked of future meetings between French and American military chefs. Beu said the visit offered opportunities to exchange skills, build relationships and promote French army participation in the annual culinary competition here. Each of the instructors described the experience as a trip of a lifetime. “We were treated with great hospitality,” said Marcelli. “Everywhere we went we were treated like rock stars.” While there, the four met with the town’s mayor and toured the town hall when they weren’t training with French chefs in their state-of-the-art kitchens. “It was a great opportunity for sharing,” Marcelli said. “We watched chefs performing advanced work with sugar and chocolate and toured their facilities.” “We worked with five difference types of breads,” Behr said.
Despite the language barriers, communication wasn’t an issue, Marcelli said. “Through all the broken English and our broken French, because our foundations were the same and the French techniques were the same, no words needed to be spoken. We knew what we were doing and the food was the common denominator.” The three chefs made baguettes and other breads by hand, which Marcelli said, “creates a superior product.” “We were working the old fashioned way,” he said. The visit provided the instructors a great opportunity to work and train alongside their French military counterparts, Beu said. “By the end of the trip, the instructors had participated in bread making, pastries and chocolate, field baking and cooking,” he said. To end the learning experience, Green, Marcelli and Behr were teamed with a French chef and an interrupter and began a skills competition. “We all received a mystery basket and two and a half hours to complete enough food for eight plates,” Behr said. “It was neat to see the judging,” Marcelli said. “Behr and the chef he was paired with won the friendly challenge.” The group also participated in a cultural trip where they visited the beaches of Normandy. “Behr and I were asked to hoist a flag there,” Marcelli said. Beu said he hopes this is the beginning of a long friend-

Deceased Post Soldier Identified The Soldier found dead here Monday morning in his barracks room was Pvt. David E. Vines, 21, of Beaumont, Texas. Military police and other Fort Lee emergency personnel responded to the discovery shortly after 8 a.m. The cause of death remains under investigation by special agents
from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. According to the CID agents, foul play is not suspected at this point in the investigation, but they have not completely ruled it out in order to conduct a thorough and complete death investigation. Vines joined the Army in June
2011 and served as a petroleum supply specialist with the 54th Quartermaster Company, 530th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 49th QM Group. The unit is one of the only two active duty mortuary affairs companies in the Army – both based here.

ilitary members who have endured deployments may not ask that question until they’ve been impacted by their services. Then they might positively attest to the services they provide, to what it means to get a shower and fresh, laundered clothing. Those guys – quartermaster Soldiers in the laundry, shower and textile repair specialist MOS (92S) – are seeing a reduction in their active duty numbers, but the services they provide remain a vital component in any field services support package. The Quartermaster School currently graduates roughly 400 92Ss annually. What follows are snapshots of “Those Guys” during advanced individual training classes.

exercise, this intends for the Soldier to still be able to counter side to side forces as well as from the front or rear. Similar to the rear lunge, if performed correctly, the forward lunge will train the Soldier to keep the step’s momentum from moving the knee over the toes and irritating the knee. The prone row is applied to counter the imbalance of activity that we have developed over time with push-ups and other exercises developing the chest and anterior (front) deltoids. Good or bad, the exercise looks similar enough to a different “rower” exercise with emphasis on extending the back that it is often performed the wrong way. With proper form, the exercise develops the lower trapezium muscle (a muscle that adjusts shoulder blade position when the arm is raised overhead). With improper form (back arched), the work moves to the middle trapezium/rhomboid and might as well be the seated row. The bent leg body twist is applied to develop control of rotation (1) through muscular development through the applied range of motion while not compressed by gravity (compared to upright position) and (2) through recognition of how far movement can occur without compensation patterns. Each of the exercises applied in the conditioning drills have a similar rationale. When used correctly, Soldiers are better aware of how they can control their position and momentum while providing power through force and velocity and will be more prepared for mundane tasks requiring prolonged standing, repeated lifting or working with gear on.

Lee Dental Clinic Changes Command by Amy Perry
Production/News Assistant Editor
The leadership responsibilities for the Fort Lee Dental Clinic Command changed hands during a ceremony Tuesday at the Lee Club. Col. Edward Cathright Jr., incoming commander, replaced Col. James Thompson, who served as interim commander after Col. Jose Olazagasti left five months ago. Col. Steven Tanner, Fort Eustis Dental Activity commander, was the reviewing officer for the ceremony. Tanner took time to thank Thompson for his efforts while serving as the interim commander. “Colonel Thompson, you steered the ship and kept it on course,” he said. “Under your leadership for the past five months, readiness numbers have improved. That is a remarkable feat. We have reached goals that we never had before.” During the ceremony, Thompson thanked his staff members for the excellence work they did while he was their commander. “In the period of just under a year, we have grown from a small staff with 39 dental treatment rooms in nine temporary trailers to two (modern) clinics, a staff of more than 90 and 64 dental clinic rooms,” said Thompson. “Our dedicated staff of Soldiers and civilians has ensured that the
mission was complete day-in and day-out throughout the growing process.” He also took time to welcome Cathright. “Colonel Cathright, you and your family has arrived in a great place to live and work, and your staff is ready to ensure your success as a new commander,” Thompson said. While introducing Cathright, Tanner pointed out a special link between the two commanders. At multiple points during their career, the two have served together. They attended dental school at Alabama University, were stationed at their first assignment together, attended the advanced course together, attended the same residency at the same time, and now are potentially serving their last assignments together as well. Tanner continued by saying he couldn’t think of a better person than Cathright to take the job. “Colonel Cathright came from Fort Rucker, Ala., where he did an outstanding job,” he said. “I look forward to seeing his leadership grow and blossom and see the wonderful flower of Fort Lee continue to blossom and enrich the lives of Soldiers here.” Cathright thanked everyone for attending and said he was happy to be at Fort Lee, as it was his No. 1 choice on his dream sheet. “I look forward to working with you, to improving on the great work that was done by Colonel Thompson and moving forward,” he said to the Dental Clinic staff.

garding the use of chain saws should be considered just ² )520 3$*( a beginning in informing yourself about how to operate a chain saw safely. Seek hands-on guidance from someone in the know. %e sure to wear gloves, earplugs, safety glasses, steeltoed boots, tight-fitting clothing (long pants and a longsleeved shirt) and a helmet (when performing chain saw work on large trees). When operating chain saws and hedgers, be sure to plant both feet firmly on the ground when cutting. Avoid making cuts while standing on a ladder. %e aware of your center of gravity. Don’t overreach. <ou shouldn’t be raising the machine above shoulder level because doing so would cause instability. Shut off the engine before removing branches stuck in the teeth of your machine. With chain saws, always be conscious of the possibility of kickback. (OHFWULFDO 'HYLFH 6DIHW\ When using electric string trimmers, mowers or hedge clippers, make sure the ON / OFF switch is in the OFF position before plugging the device into an outlet. <ou shouldn’t use any power eTuipment under wet conditions. Don’t take extension cords for granted. Old, nicked up extension cords should be replaced. 0ake sure extension cords are the right size for the device’s electric current capacity. %e conscious of the whereabouts of the cords at all times so that you don’t trip over them or cut them with your power eTuipment.

an enclosed area. Store gas in a proper container, clearly marked “*-A-S.â€? 6WULQJ 7ULPPHU 6DIHW\ While not heavy eTuipment, you need to respect the damage string trimmers are capable of causing. %efore start-up, check for any damage caused by past usage Âą fasteners loosened through vibration or fuel leakage. The key to operating string trimmers safely is achieving a good form and maintaining it consistently. It’s easier to operate string trimmers with the proper form if you stay balanced in your footwork. Don’t over-extend your arms, which could cause you to lose your balance. Likewise, don’t use string trimmers (or mowers) when the grass is wet, lest you slip. Fatigue can ruin your form. As you get tired, you tend to get sloppy in your trimming approach. Using a shoulder strap for your trimmer can help cut down on fatigue. Swing the trimmer in such a way that the arc of your swing won’t end up bringing the rotating string head back in the direction of your body. 0aintain the cutting head at an angle of about 30 degrees to the ground. The tip of the cutting string should be doing the cutting. A slower, measured swinging motion is safer than a faster, unrestrained motion. .eep the string head below waist level as you swing the trimmer. *DUGHQ 7LOOHU 6DIHW\ When starting a new garden, have your utility lines marked so that you’ll know where not to dig (in fact, do so even if it’s only with a shovel that you’re digging). Never clean dirt off the tines while the machine is running. While small garden tillers aren’t too difficult to control, the larger ones can be a handful. Exercise particular caution if you have to rototill on an incline many injuries have been incurred from large garden tillers falling onto their operators. Read the owner’s manual, assess the hazards, survey the yard for debris, wear the proper PPE and, above all, use good safety common sense.

Spearheading 70 Years of Excellence
Happy 70th Birthday, Transportation Corps!
Once again, we are making history conducting not only our Second Transportation Week Symposium (July 25-27) at our “new” Home of Transportation at Fort Lee, but also in this instance, we are celebrating our 70th Year of Spearheading Logistics Excellence for the U.S. Army! We have spent the past year working hard to integrate our TC history into our footprint here at Fort Lee, and I am proud of the headway we have made to date. We will be dedicating our Transportation School building on Fort Lee as Wylie Hall and dedicating a conference room in honor of retired Lt. Gen. “Ross” Thompson who passed away last year, to include several other commemorative activities and events scheduled. We have also begun a process of integrating TC history more in the halls of our schoolhouse and our campus. Of course, Fort Eustis will remain in the sweet spot for all us Transporter Logisticians for years to come, but, as we move forward from here, smartly integrating our Transportation history into Fort Lee, the Combined Arms Support Command and the Sustainment Center of Excellence is crucial in order to capture the imagination and spirit of those young Soldiers joining our ranks today. This way, our new TC Soldiers, our Army and all logisticians can connect with our unique history and experience the integrating power we bring not only as the “Maneuver Element of the Logistics Corps,”

Six x Leaders, 1 Unit Inducted Into Hall of Fame by Amy Perrry
Production/News Assistant Editor
As part of its 70th anniversary celebration, the Transportatioon Corps is honoring six Soldiers and one Trannsportation unit in a Hall of Fame ceremony July 26, 11:30 a.m., at the Lee Club. Usually, thhe Hall of Fame committee chooses one general officer, o one field grade officer, one warrant officcer and one noncommissioned officer, said Caapt. Anthony Freda, Transportation Corps regimental plans and operations officer. “This yearr, since the nominees were so competitive and had strong files, we decided that no one shouuld be excluded based on the fact someone in their t same category had a stronger file,” said Frreda. “We just wanted to ensure the packets weree Hall of Fame worthy.” This year,, the committee chose retired Lt. Gen. William m E. Mortensen, Mark J. O’Konski, retired Col. James A. Weiss, retired Master Warrant Offficer 4 Thomas E. Gentry, retired Command Sggt. Maj. Larry H. Orvis and retired Command Sggt. Maj. Arthur F. Peete. The unit chhosen was the 523rd Transportation Company (L Light Truck) because of its heroic actions in Laam Son, Vietnam. Freda said sever-
al members of the historic unit (see note below) will be on hand to accept the honor. There will also be a 2.5-ton gun truck, the Ace of Spades, on display at the Lee Club on July 26. This truck was actually used by the unit in Vietnam. Getting into the Hall of Fame is no easy feat. With only 100 members currently inducted, Freda said it’s very special to be even considered for the honor. “Our Hall of Fame is definitely an elite group,” he said. “Our inductees are heavy hitters in the Transportation Corps who have made very significant contributions to Army Transportation.” The six TC members and unit being inducted are a special group, said Freda. “All of the nominees stand out,” he said. “We’re inducting a 44-year veteran, a former chief of transportation, a regimental command sergeant major, a former senior executive service member and several others who have served with tremendous distinction. Selection criteria for the Transportation Corps Hall of Fame includes significant accomplishments while on active duty and after retirement including major Army Transportation initiatives and published articles, among other things.

Transportation Corps – Spearheading Excellence To all transporters where ever ye may be – it is an esteemed honor and privilege to be serving as your 11th Transportation Regimental and School Command Sergeant Major. As I move forward as the TC Regimental CSM, it’s important to maintain continuity, but it is just as important to welcome change as we move from a TTP-based Army to a more doctrine-based Army focused on Leader Development (Competence, Character, and Commitment) collectively with our Profession of Arms. Leaders, we need you to stay focused and lead! Our Soldiers deserve great leadership and we must provide that leadership. Points of concern for our enlisted is DA Pam 600-25 (NCO
Professional Development Guide – Proponent Optimization), Structured Self Development (SSD I, III, IV, V), Army Learning Model 2015 (ALM 2015) and Army Career Tracker, which is fully implemented for the Transportation Corps. This one-stop online tool helps plot careers, assignments, training and education. The tracker delivers personalized information that takes account of an individual Soldier’s experiences, education, training and needs. As we develop future transportation/movement capabilities, personnel and doctrine to support contingencies, we are uniquely suited to enhance and integrate sustainment activities in the process – enabling the operational environment with improved flexibili-
ty, transparent support and connected network of sustainment. We need you all to THINK-ENVISION-SHAPESET CONDITIONS-INTEGRATEREPEAT. Finally, this is our 70th Year of Spearheading Logistics and we look forward to seeing as many leaders (past and present) joining us at our new home here at Fort Lee (Sustainment Center of Excellence) for our Transportation Symposium as we have a world class, actionpacked line up to commemorate our 70th anniversary.

The 523rd Transportation Company (Light Truck) was one of two 5-ton truck companies thatt established their operating base at Camp Vandergrift in Vietnam during Operation Lam Son 719/Dewey Canyon, Jan. 30 to April 4, 1971. During Lam Son 719, the A Army of the Republic of Vietnam attacked North Vietnamese Army supply camps in Laos to disrupt the buildup of supplies for the communist offensive operations s the next spring. The 523rd Transportation Co. delivered supplies along Route 9 alo ong the Demilitarized Zone to the Camp Khe Sanh and other camps near the Laotian n border. This was one of two times during the Vietnam War that the enemy made a deliberate effort to close down the supply line with convoy ambushes. During Lam m Son 719, the enemy conduced 28 convoy ambushes. The 523rd fought through tw wo of the three worst ambushes of the operation.

Spearheading 70 Years of Excellence
MOVING FORWARD
Transportation Corps Looks to Technology, Soldiers in Road Ahead by Amy Perry Production/News Assistant Editor
Planning for future operations is a big part of the Chief of Transportation’s job, and it’s a role that Brig. Gen. Stephen E. Farmen relishes. Keeping the Transportation Corps workforce, which numbers well over 70,000 today, and its capabilities stronger than ever while moving deeper into the 21st century is an important part of his vision, he said. “The vision for our corps is to be integrators of deployment and distribution in all we do – from the people we produce, to the equipment we modernize, to the concepts, doctrine and force structure we develop,” said Farmen. “We must be a bastion of transportation innovation with emphasis on adaptive training and expertise-producing leaders. All our efforts are designed to hinge around this vision as we shape the future.” To help shape that future, Farmen’s team is releasing a plan called “Strategic Blueprint 3.0” at the annual Transportation Symposium next week. It lays out the lines of effort to get to 2020 and beyond. “Our goal is for this to be an adaptive blueprint providing a roadmap to develop leaders and develop as a leader, enable deployment and distribution, and do it in a joint environment,” he said. “If all our lines of effort and energy are not driving toward promulgating our intent to connect, integrate and deliver the transportation capabilities and capacity for movement and distribution excellence on all fronts, and at all levels, and produce transporter logisticians that are functional experts and savvy supply chain integrators – then it is not worth doing.” Also in looking toward the future, Farmen said the newest crop of Transportation Soldiers – enlisted and officer alike – show remarkable potential. “I have the unique privilege and opportunity to talk to all our new Soldiers – officers, warrant officers and enlisted – and each time I am blown away by the character and spirit to serve their country,” he said. “All our young Soldiers these days are smart and

The RIMPAC is the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise. tech savvy. They are energized and want to get their hands on the best technology and equipment the Army has to offer, and they want to make a difference.” That interest in technology bodes well for the future of the corps, especially with the many modernization efforts under way, said Farmen. “What’s really exciting when you think of the Transportation Corps in the future is how technology will integrate into our capabilities to change how we conduct surface distribution operations,” he said. “For example, unmanned vehicles, robotics, interactive dashboard … these will be the game changers. A key acquisition project on the horizon right now is the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, which is not only the top modernization effort of our Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleet but one of the top three ‘big Army’ acquisition programs.” Another way the Transportation Corps is looking ahead is using technology to engage the entire community, said Farmen. “We have just published a distribution White Paper to help us frame the art of the
possible, and you can see and read more about what we’re talking about on our Path to 2028,” he said. “Anyone can access this document at our interactive website (www. discoveringdistribution.org) and engage in conversation with our community on how to leverage this document and get us smartly into the future. “We live in a participatory world,” Farmen emphasized, “and it will take all of us working together to ensure we evolve smartly and effectively into the 21st century.” It’s important to keep the corps effectively communicating across distance as well, as its campuses include Fort Lee, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and Fort Eustis. Although several courses moved to Fort Lee during the BRAC transition, the motor transport operator from Fort Leonard Wood and the stevedoring, rail and watercraft specialties at Fort Eustis couldn’t be physically moved here, said Farmen. Thus, keeping the corps “together” although physically located far apart is a top priority for him. “Our mission command approach hinges
on tending to spheres of influence in all locations, and I am blessed with a top-notch assistant commandant in Col. Andy Peters who is adept at leveraging multiple forums, the latest technology and a battle rhythm framework between our schools at all locations to keep the dots connected and us all rowing in the right direction,” said Farmen. “It is definitely not easy and requires a relentless, collaborative team approach from across all our leadership teams and entities.” An initiative of Farmen’s includes moving the 2nd Transportation Brigade to Fort Lee. It’s an Army Reserve organization, but Farmen is interested in making it a multicomponent brigade for the Transportation Corps here. Currently, transportation Soldiers on Lee do not belong to a transportation brigade for training. “This will fix that gap and, more importantly, allows us to bring the One Army School System to life for our TC at Fort Lee, since it allows for integrated mission command of our Reserve Component training and active component training, while being co-located with our Transportation School here,” said Farmen. The corps’ focus on the future and technology also drove this year’s theme – “Spearheading 70 Years of Excellence” – for its milestone symposium. “We want our TC Corps to remain visionary, and I think this theme does just that,” said Farmen. “To spearhead is to lead, and those who came before us did a great job leading change and keeping us ready and relevant moving forward. We need to revel in their accomplishments to date and, more importantly, use this time as an opportunity – or as Churchill would say to ‘look back to look forward.’ “This theme reinforces our purpose. It reflects the strength, resilience and confidence in our ability to relentlessly persevere into the 21st century – and do it together with a higher purpose in mind,” he concluded. “The Transportation Corps is bigger than all of us. It is just entrusted to our care for a brief period, and we have the responsibility and obligation to evolve forward.”

EMO Tip of the Week
Stay Cool for Less Summer’s heat has taken hold in many parts of the country, and that means one thing for millions of sweltering people: air conditioning. While we may take air conditioning for granted, it’s generally an expensive luxury. Americans spend more than $22 billion a year on electricity to cool their homes with air conditioning and use a whopping 183 billion kilowatthours, according to recent statistics from the United States Department of Energy. That accounts for at least 15 percent of all energy used in some homes and, in warmer climates, can represent up to 70 percent of a summer electric bill. Here are seven ways to “cool it.� ‡ 6HW WKH WKHUPRVWDW DURXQG GHgrees Fahrenheit to save 6 to 8 percent on cooling costs for each degree above 78. Most people will be comfortable. ‡ 8VH D FHLOLQJ IDQ RU SRUWDEOH IDQ WR supplement the air conditioning. A fan can make you feel three to four degrees cooler (and only costs a half-cent per hour to operate) so you can set your thermostat a few degrees higher and save on cooling costs.
Use only in occupied rooms since fans cool people, not rooms. ‡ 6HW WKH WKHUPRVWDW XS D IHZ GHJUHHV when you leave home.

New Acquisition Chief Sets Goals by Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON – Frank Kendall describes his new job as all about supporting the new defense strategy and the budget that puts that strategy in place. “My job on the acquisition, technology and logistics side of the house is to execute in support of that strategy,” the new undersecretary of defense for the same portfolio told reporters. Kendall said there are important long-term strategic ideas and goals that must be considered for the long-term health of national security. The department’s mission, he said, is to recruit the armed forces of the United States, to have technological superiority and to maintain a force that is not hollow. His emphasis remains on the still unfinished wars –
Afghanistan and the broader war on terror. “The department needs … to make sure that the programs we start are actually affordable and get them into production and fielding,” he said. “That’s by setting some constraints at the beginning of the program so they meet that criteria.” Making defense acquisition more efficient is a key to the strategy. The department’s Better Buying Power initiative “is really just a label for continuous improvement,” he said. “Somebody asked me the other day if I am a transformational person or evolutionary person – I’m evolutionary. I believe in continuous incremental improvement across the board and just looking for ways to do that.” To Kendall, that’s what Better Buying Power is all about. “It’s not a specific set of rules, it’s a philosophy for continuous improvement.” The undersecretary wants to maintain a viable defense
industrial base during a time of contraction. “We need to keep it healthy, and that means keeping it profitable and it also means keeping it lean and productive.” The department, he added, also must work to discover better incentives for the defense industry. All these goals, he said, depend on the acquisition workforce. “At the end of the day our success depends on the quality and capacity of our people,” Kendall said. “Building that capacity is high on my list.” But the most important goal is protecting America’s future, Kendall said. His organization, he added, must work to develop the technology needed to stay ahead of any potential enemy, maintain the capability to build these technologies and ensure the department attracts the best people for the jobs that are needed.

and then ship them wherever you had to,” he said. “It’s not quite as easy to get out of Afghanistan, but on the other hand, we expect to have a more enduring presence in Afghanistan,” he said. “So we will be able to move material out at a pace that is perhaps more reasonable.” Materiel may be shipped out past the December 2014 deadline, Kendall said. “I think because of the physical constraints, we will probably do that,” he said. “One of the reasons we are going to need overseas contingency funds beyond 2014 is that we’re going to have to do the logistics job – not just in getting the equipment we want out – but in refurbishing it when we get it back,” he added.

The recent reopening of supply lines through Pakistan has helped, Kendall said. “Hopefully they will stay open and we will be able to use them,” he said. “We’ve gone a long way toward negotiating agreements to help in the Northern Distribution Network. There’s still some work to be done there. But that also will help.” The U.S. military has been planning the maneuver for months, and an exercise is under way. There are things that make the Afghan operation more difficult than the effort in Iraq and some that make it easier, Kendall said. “One of the things that made the Iraq situation easier was, of course, you could just drive in to Kuwait, park things in Kuwait

WASHINGTON – The man who oversaw the logistics of the military withdrawal from Iraq sees a greater challenge coming in the Afghan drawdown, describing it as ‘huge”. Frank Kendall, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, told reporters logistics is a much bigger part of his job than he thought it would be. “The aphorism that amateurs worry about tactics and professionals worry about logistics is very true,” Kendall said. “We have a huge logistics challenge getting out of Afghanistan.” That challenge, he said is different than the one involved in the withdrawal from Iraq.
Kendall oversaw the Iraq effort as the principle deputy undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics. “That was a piece of cake compared to what we have to do in Afghanistan. This is a much more difficult job.” Afghanistan is a land-locked country and the United States, NATO countries and coalition partners have sent mountains of equipment and supplies there since operations began in 2001. Now, the coalition effort is drawing down as Afghan forces increasingly take over security. By the end of the summer, 23,000 additional American service members will leave, as well as those from many coalition nations. Combat operations are to wind down next year, and all coalition combat operations are set to conclude at the

Transporters Fill Redeployment Gaps Movement Control Detachment Makes Critical Contribution to Cargo Transport Mission
(LEFT) Sgt. Josemy Morales, a movement control supervisor with the 822nd Movement Control Detachment, inspects storage containers at the Multi-Modal Yard that facilities and centralizes cargo movement from Kandahar Airfield to the United States.
by Sgt. Gregory Williams 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – When the Ground Lines of Communication, or GLOC, closed, the Army was forced to use air assets in its redeployment process. This challenge was met head on with the Army and Air Force working together to move cargo as effectively as possible. Contributing to the redeployment mission, the 822nd Movement Control Detachment out of Boston, Mass., opened Kandahar Airfield's first MultiModal Yard, which facilitates and centralizes cargo movement from KAF to the United States. The Multi-Modal Yard has moved approximately over 17.2 million pounds of equipment in a five month period, which has contributed to the biggest air lift operation since the Cold War. "What amazes me about this mission is how within our detachment we have all the qualified personnel who can run this yard efficiently by themselves," Staff Sgt. Matthew Wissell, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Multi Modal Yard, 822nd MCT said. "Our unit was totally self-sustaining because we had transportation managers, a cargo specialist, and truck drivers, which is rare for a MCT to have." The Multi Modal yard works with the Air Force's Alpha Yard and Mike Ramp to redeploy pallets, quad-cons, tri-cons, containers, and military vehicles back to the United States. As many Forward Operating Bases close in anticipation of the drawdown, the Multi Modal yard has helped to

make the redeployment process easier for units by helping them schedule joint inspections and palletizing cargo. "Other yards would tell a unit they're responsible for scheduling appointments, moving cargo, rolling stock, and contacting the Air Force, but we
say hey you've done your part outside the wire so let us take care of you," Sgt. Josemy Morales, a movement control supervisor, 822nd MCT said. "We're more customer service oriented and whatever we can do to make the transition from KAF back home easier, we'll do it." The soldiers of the Multi Modal Yard have helped various units during their redeployment from KAF back to the states such as 10th Mountain Division, 25th Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division,14th Combat Engineer Battalion, and other smaller detachments.
"Everything that would normally go by convoy, when it comes to the MultiModal Yard we help redeploy it by air, which if it has to go we're going to get it to go," said Wissell. "We provide a service that's very unique and not available on KAF." Even with the reopening of the GLOC, the 822nd MCT Multi-Modal Yard will continue to work 24 hours, seven days a week to make sure units go home with everything they brought with them. Whether it's working with local national drivers or the Air Force, this detachment will make sure every unit reunites with their cargo.
