ARLINGTON, Va -- The Survivor Outreach Services and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Center for Initial Military Training chapel staff at Fort Eustis, Virginia, teamed up with personnel from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, to provide transportation for local Gold Star mothers to attend the 75th Annual National Gold Star Mother’s Day Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, Sept. 27, 2015. Gold Star Mothers Day is observed annually on the last Sunday in September to recognize and honor parents who lost a son or daughter who served their nation during a time of war or conflict. This year’s ceremony involved not only the Gold Star Mothers of America, Inc., but included Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., and distinguished guests such as U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work and U.S. Army Lt. Gen. David Halverson, Installation Management Command commander and assistant chief of staff. “It blessed us as far as being able to provide this opportunity for the mothers,” said Rochelle Crockett, Fort Eustis SOS support coordinator. “A lot of times you don’t know how many people this impacts until you go up to an event like this and see who all is saying Gold Star is important.” This was not only the first time the Eustis group attended the event, Crockett added, but the first time some of them visited Arlington’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where the observance began with The Changing of the Guard and a wreath-laying ceremony. During the wreath-laying, representatives from Gold Star and Blue Star Mothers grasped each other’s hands in support as they prepared to take part in the ceremony with the U.S. Army 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) sentinels. “I felt like I was the only one who

had ever lost a child, but now that I’m with this group of mothers and I know we’re here for the same reason, it gives me comfort - it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one,” said Avis Wimberly, Hampton Roads, Virginia Gold Star Mother. After the wreath-laying, the mothers made their way to a recognition ceremony and reception. During the ceremonies, Gold Star Mothers and keynote speaker Halverson spoke about the importance of the day for not only remembering those who paid the ultimate sacriﬁce, but highlighting the inﬂuence the mothers have on military members and their families to this day. “You are always to be members of our Armed Forces,” said Halverson.

“What you have been through takes great strength and shows great faith ... Your healing power and volunteerism spans generations. Thank you for sharing your stories and inspiration with those carry on the mission.” For, Wimberly the support shown not only at the event, but throughout the nation, was more than enough to bring a tear-ﬁlled glimmer to her eyes. “This is just a really specially event ... that the country at large thinks enough of us mothers who have lost a child to give a service like this means a lot,” said Wimberly. “It means a lot that they honor us, and that we’re not forgotten--that’s the biggest thing. They never forget us and that’s special.”

U.S. Service members from Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown helped honor the life of Vietnam Veteran U.S. Army Pfc. Michael Glenn Loyd during the 458th Sea Tigers Reunion Memorial ceremony at the Hampton Maritime Center in Hampton, Virginia, Sept. 24, 2015. During the ceremony, U.S. Air Force Airmen from the Langley Air Force Base Honor Guard performed a 21-gun salute honoring Loyd along with other 458th Sea Tigers who passed since the

Vietnam conﬂict. U.S. Army Soldiers also acted as wreath bearers and Airmen from the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band lent drum and bugle support while the Joint Service Army and Navy Color Guard presented the colors. Forty-six years ago, Loyd, a military policeman from the 300th Military Police Company attached to the 458th’s Cat Lai Patrol Boat River detachment, perished in the line of duty at the age of 20. However, neither the detachment nor the 458th Transportation Company held a memorial service for him until now. Photos by Master Sgt. April Wickes

Michael Glenn Loyd who died during the Vietnam Conﬂict 46 years ago.

“We lost very few people and had no regular way of dealing with loss,” said Tom Wonsiewicz, 458th Sea Tigers Reunion coordinator. “As I look at all the events through the eyes I have now, there would have been a ceremony. I pushed for this ceremony because [Loyd] died on my watch. We hold these ceremonies to help facilitate the memories of these men.” Although the ceremony was in honor of Loyd, it served as an inﬂuential moment for Senior Airman Thomas Hosey, Langley Air Force Base Honor Guard ceremonial guardsman. “Today was probably one of the best days for me,” said Hosey. “Every person that serves in the military deserves hon-

ors and for [Loyd] not to have honors until today breaks my heart a little bit, but at the same time I was so happy that I was allowed to be on this detail to give him the honors he deserves. It made me feel proud.” As the ceremony came to a close and the ﬁnal ringing of the 21-gun salute faded, the somber melody of Taps ﬁlled the air as the Veterans of the U.S. Navy Riverine Operations in Vietnam carried away Loyd’s ceremonial wreath on a PBR where it was laid on the Hampton River.

7th TB(X) trains 3rd TB(X) in Historic Triangle Commentary by U.S. Army Maj. Charles Fyffe 7TH TRANSPORTATION BRIGADE

The 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) completed its ﬁrst training mission with the newly formed 3rd Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) as part of the Terminal Warrior Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) 2015 exercise last month and for the ﬁrst time in recent history, the U.S. Army has given an active component organiazation the the opportunity to assist in training and organization of it’s Army Reserve counterpart. The 7th TB(X) began planning for this major training exercise, refered to as Terminal Warrior, last year with the activation of the 3rd TB(X). The initial planning focused on a Training/Ready “1” training cycle for the newly formed organization, which was created to mirror what the 7th TB(X) had become only one year prior. One year prior to the start of initial planning for Terminal Warrior

2015, 7th TB(X) celebrated its one year anniversary as an Expeditionary Transportation Brigade. Prior to its transformation in 2014, the 7th TB(X) was known as the 7th Sustainment Brigade and the 7th Transportation Group respectively. The transformation was a long process in which the Brigade deactivated several units in order to transition back to its roots and focus on their core competency of conducting expeditionary intermodal operations. The 10th Transportation Battalion, 11th Trans. Bn., and the 53rd Movement Control Battalion are all that’s left of what was once the 7th Transportation Group. The new look has allowed the 7th TB(X) to enhance its focus on expeditionary intermodal operations in support of Combatant Commands. During its transition years, the unit had lost some of its expertise and focus in maritime operations. Without this expertise, the Army lost its voice for Army

Maritime operations. After the transition it became apparent on just how important the 7th TB(X) is to the Army. This along with the fact that the 7th TB(X) was the only Expeditionary Transportation Brigade in the Army gave way to the formation of the 3rd TB(X) in order to give the Army more ﬂexibility in future Maritime and C/JLOTs operations along with mirroring the 7th TB(X)’s capabilities as a globally responsive command that can react to any marine terminal or watercraft scenario and can also react and give support to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief efforts. After the successful activation of the new TB(X), the only thing left to do was to train our new maritime partners. Terminal Warrior Joint Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) 2015 took place from July 16 to Aug. 12, 2015 in the Hampton Roads Historic Triangle with training being conducted at Fort Eustis, Fort Story, and Little Creek Naval Base. The Goal of the exercise was to conduct a Training/Ready “1” Army Total Force (ATF) Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) exercise focused on enhancing the 3rd TB(X)’s mission essential task capabilities along with our ability to react Hu-

manitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief. The training displayed our Terminal and Watercraft Operations, Movement Control, Mission Command, and our expeditionary LOTS capabilities with units from around the nation including Reserve, National Guard, and Active Watercraft units. The Terminal and Headquarter Elements of both 7th TB(X) and the 3rd TB(X) provided Mission Command during the training exercise. The exercise enhanced the 3rd TB(X)’s ability to deploy and redeploy their battalion headquarter elements and their Terminal Battalions to conduct watercraft operations and their ability to provide mission command of assigned and attached port, terminal, and watercraft units conducting expeditionary intermodal operations. In addition, the exercise developed and sustained Soldier’s technical skills while training Transportation Battalion (Terminal) and down trace units on port and terminal operations including planning and directing terminal operations, planning and coordinating terminal support operations,

Additionally, all upkeep and regular yard and home maintenance is provided, including 24-hour emergency services. Security for on-post housing is provided by military police. Other amenities include community centers with fitness facilities, playgrounds, outdoor pavilions, sports courts, splash parks and dog parks. “The ability to live on post at Fort Eustis is a truly unique opportunity,” Sonnier said. “We look forward to welcoming new residents to our community.” Families interested in moving onto Fort Eustis can ask for information from the Balfour Beatty Communities leasing office at 757-369-8335 or online at www. forteustishomes.com.

7TH TB(X) FROM PAGE 6 performing shipboard and pier side cargo load and offload operations and providing ocean terminal cargo documentation. While executing the training, the 7th TB(X) and 3rd TB(X) came together and formed a Task Force Commanded by Colonel Stacy Townsend, the 7th TB(X) Commander. The 3rd TB(X) benefited greatly from the training as it began to understand its mission and strategic importance of Army Watercraft to the success of the exercise. The Field Training Exercise (FTX) also incorporated Cargo Transfer, Seaport Operations, In-Transit Visibility, Convoy Operations (both land and water), Motor Transport operations, staff procedures, and validated the Task. Force on Modular Causeway System (MCS) construction, throughput operations, and LOTS command and control procedures. The successful build of the floating Trident Pier at Ft. Story, the formation of the Task Force, and the successful training for the 3rd TB(X) were the key events of the exercise and set the stage for future training and operations

between 3rd TB(X) and 7th TB(X). In addition to the valuable training, the exercise also enabled us to secure lines of communication with outside agencies for the 3rd TB(X) as well as our Joint Partners. Planning for and implementing the integration with our United States Army Reserve and National Guard maritime partners greatly improved our logistics interoperability, communication, and strategic cooperation between our Active and Reserve organizations. Colonel Stacy Townsend, the 7th TB(X) and Task Force Commander during the exercise stated that “we have enhanced our maritime support capability” with the culmination of this combined effort. The successful training will enable the 3rd TB(X) to continue to gain that expertise it will need in maritime terminal operations. The 3rd TB (X) will continue to increase their expertise, improve its rapid deployment capabilities, and will ultimately become a more capable terminal operator specializing in Logistics Over-The-Shore operations (LOTS) throughout its train ready cycle and as both organizations prepare for Terminal Warrior 2016 next year.
