Former Rock NCO to receive Medal of Honor By Army News Service WASHINGTON - The White House announced June 23 that former Staff Sgt. Ryan M. Pitts will receive the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry in combat during an engagement with enemy forces near Wanat in the Waygal Valley of northeastern Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, July 13, 2008. Pitts was serving as a forward observer with 2nd Platoon, Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, at the time of the battle. President Barack Obama will award Pitts the Medal of Honor in a ceremony at the White House July 21. In the summer of 2008, Pitts, then a sergeant, and his team were part of Operation Rock Move, meant to Courtesy photo transfer remaining forces and capability from Combat Outpost Bella, which Sgt.

the outskirts of a village called Wanat. The new position was Vehicle Patrol Base Kahler. The mission was expected to be the last for the Soldiers before returning home. They had been in Afghanistan for 14 months. On the morning of July 13, at about 4 a.m., Pitts was manning Observation Post Topside, east of the main base, and east of a bazaar and hotel complex in Wanat. Shortly after, Soldiers conducting surveillance identified potential insurgents and put together a request for fire, but before that happened, at about 4:20 a.m., Soldiers heard machinegun fire to their north. After that, the valley erupted in enemy fire. Soldiers at OP Topside were hit with small arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades and hand grenades. Pitts and six other paratroopers were injured in the initial volley. Two paratroopers were killed. Pitts took grenade shrapnel in both legs and his left arm.
Grit, persistance, victory For more than an hour after, Pitts continued to fight and defend his position and his teammates, despite his injuries. Throughout the battle, despite the loss of blood and the severity of his wounds, Pitts’ toughness, determination and ability to communicate with leadership while under fire allowed U.S. forces to hold the observation post and turn the tide of battle. Without Pitts’ extraordinary effort to stay alert and fight while critically wounded, the enemy would have gained a foothold on high ground and inflicted significantly greater causalities on the vehicle patrol base and potentially taken the bodies of fallen Soldiers at the observation post. Nine Soldiers — Spc. Sergio Abad, Cpl. Jonathan Ayers, Cpl. Jason Bogar, 1st Lt. Jonathan Brostrom, Sgt. Israel Garcia, Cpl. Jason Hovater, Cpl. Matthew Phillips, Cpl. Pruitt Rainey and Cpl. Gunnar Zwilling — were killed in the battle. Staff Sgt. Pitts separated from the service Oct. 27, 2009, while recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He currently lives in Nashua, New Hampshire, where he works in business development for the computer software industry. Pitts will be the ninth living recipient to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. The White House announced that Pitts will be accompanied by his family when the president commemorates his selfless service.

Sky Soldiers finish field exercise in Estonia Story and photos by Spc. Jared Sollars 145th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment TAPA, Estonia – U.S. Army paratroopers with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Vicenza, Italy, ended field training in Estonia with a live-fire exercise June 12. The live fire was a culmination event held after a series of training lanes for the Soldiers of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, who have been training in Estonia since late April. “They will come over the hill and set up a support by fire and then hit these three objectives and a total of 28 targets,” said Sgt. 1st Class Cory Plunk, platoon sergeant for 1st Platoon, Company C. The platoon split into squads to provide cover fire, while another squad attacked the main objective, a small mock village, with the necessary firepower. “We were able to work on joint fires integration, with their mortars and artillery and then troops on the ground, with explosive and ballistic breaching with their engineers,” said Capt. Dwayne Steppe, Company C commander. “It’s exactly what we came here to do, and we showed that it can work,” he said. The training day started with several practice rounds using blank ammunition. “I think for the first iteration we did extremely well,” said Spc. James Hodgkins of Company C. “I think there were hiccups here and there, but that’s what training is for. We Pvt. Michael Sande of 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, enters coordinates before firing a 60-mm mortar during training in Tapa, will come back out and set up the scenario again and run through it until we get it right.” Estonia, June 10. Approximately 600 paratroopers from the brigade are in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, as part of an unscheduled land-forces exercise to demonstrate commitment to NATO obligations and sustain interoperability with allied forces.

PCS Pointers: Preparing for your HHG shipment By Capt. Scott McIntosh Office of the Staff Judge Advocate
W
ith peak Permanent Change of Station (PCS) season in full swing, many in the Vicenza Military Community are caught up in the whirlwind of relocating to a new duty station. PCSing can be an exciting time of reuniting with old friends and taking on new professional challenges, but it also brings the dreaded possibility that your household goods (HHG) may be lost or damaged en route to your new home. In the unfortunate event there is a problem with your HHG shipment, service members and personnel can turn to the Defense Personal Property System (DPS). DPS provides an Internet-based system that not only processes HHG, but a means as well for filing notices of damage and loss and claims. If you file your notice of loss within 75 days of the date of delivery and your claim within nine months of delivery via DPS with the Transportation Service Provider (TSP, the company that moves your HHG), the TSP is liable for the repair or full replacement value (FRV) cost of damaged items. Here are a few simple steps you can take to maximize your chances of recovery for any loss or damage that may occur during government-sponsored shipment of your HHG. Before you pack In order to recover for any loss or damage, you have to prove that: (a) you owned the property, (b) that the property was actually shipped, and (c) that the property was lost or damaged during shipment. You can do this by taking pictures of everything before you pack it and by keeping receipts. For instance, take a picture of your closet before you pack your clothes, and photograph electronics and appliances while they are turned on to prove that they work. If you do not have receipts, keep owner’s manuals or other documentation that can serve as evidence of ownership. Be sure to hand-carry these items when you PCS to retain proof of ownership and value. Make an inventory of your belongings before the moving company arrives. List the make, model and serial number of items as you catalogue your household goods. Separate important papers and sentimental or high value items such as passports, photo albums or expensive jewelry and hand carry these items to your next duty stations. During your move Ensure the TSP’s inventory lists the serial numbers of high-value items such as televisions and computers. The packers aren’t required to list serial numbers, but you can write them yourself at the bottom of the mover’s inventory in the “remarks/exceptions” block. List the quantities of items such as CDs, DVDs and video games packed in each box. Use the “remarks/exception” block to list quantities if the packers do not include it in their description. Refer to the inventory line number when doing so; for example, “line 14 contains 75 DVDs.” Do the same for porcelain

figurines, crystal, china, etc. Once the TSP has packed your household goods, they will present you with their inventory. Review the inventory carefully before you sign it and compare it to your personal inventory to ensure all of your HHG are listed. Because the inventory serves as proof that an item was entrusted to the TSP, it is very difficult to recover compensation for a missing item that was not noted on the inventory. Examine the TSP’s prepared inventory for pre-existing damage. Point out any cases where the TSP has exaggerated the extent of pre-existing damage to an item and request they amend their notations. If they refuse, state your disagreement directly on the inventory in the “remarks/exceptions” block above your signature. When the TSP arrives at your new residence, supervise the unloading of your HHG and have them unpack as many boxes as possible. Note any missing items or new damage to your property on the DD Form 1840 or on the “Joint Statement of Loss or Damage at Delivery” form while the TSP is unpacking your household goods. Missing items or additional damage that you find after the TSP has left should be noted on the back of that same form. Retain any broken items so that the claims examiner will be able to inspect them. After your move Create a DPS account at http://www.move.mil by clicking on “DPS Login” and file a “Notice of Loss or Damage” with your TSP within 75 days of receipt of your HHG. You will not need pictures or receipts at this stage, just a general description of the missing or damaged item. You will be unable to recover for any items not listed on the notice of loss or damage, so be sure to open each of your boxes and inspect your belongings carefully before the 75-day window expires. In addition to the “Notice of Loss or Damage,” you must file a formal claim with your TSP within nine months of the date of delivery in order to be eligible for FRV. To increase your chance of recovery, the claim should include pictures of damaged items and proof of ownership for any missing items, and should be filed as soon as possible after receipt of your shipment. Evaluate the settlement offer you receive from your TSP. Because the offer will be broken down by item, you do not have to accept or reject the entire offer. Instead, you can accept the offer for items where you think the offer is reasonable, and reject/counter the TSP offer on other items. If you are ultimately unable to reach an acceptable settlement with the TSP, you can transfer your entire claim or only specific items from your claim to the local Military Claims Office through the online Army Personnel Claims Program (PCLaims). Visit your local Military Claims Office. Army claims examiners can assist you in filing your DPS claim and in navigating the settlement process. They can also help in evaluating the reasonableness of a TSP offer. For assistance, visit the Vicenza Claims Office in Building 241 on Caserma Ederle, or call 634-7041 or 0444-71-7041.

Sky Soldiers wrap up Saber Strike in Lithuania By Sgt. Daniel Nelson 145th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment RUKLA, Lithuania - Paratroopers from 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, took part in a closing ceremony for Exercise Saber Strike 2014 in Lithuania June 18. The event marked the completion of a weeklong training exercise that involved U.S., Lithuanian, Danish and Polish forces conducting offensive, defensive and stability operations. During the exercise, the 173rd Airborne paratroopers conducted resupply missions with Lithuanian forces, force-on-force training against Danish troops, airborne operations with both Lithuanian and Danish paratroopers, and familiarization training to become knowledgeable about the allies’ range of weapons and tactical vehicles. The final segment of Saber Strike consisted of a distinguished visitor day during which each of the allied forces displayed their capabilities for VIPs including President Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania and Maj. Gen. Mark McQueen, U.S. Army Europe deputy chief of staff. Previously, Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell Jr., Commander, U.S. Army Europe; Maj. Gen. Wesley Craig, adjutant general of the Pennsylvania National Guard; and Brig. Gen. Timothy Hilty, director of the joint staff, Pennsylvania National Guard had visited to observe the Saber Strike Soldiers in action.
Building competence, trust “The exercise very much facilitated building trust,” said Maj. Gen. Almantas Leika, Lithuanian Land Forces Commander. “We proved that we are strong when we stand united.” Saber Strike increased interoperability among regional partners and included approximately 4,500 personnel from 10 different countries. The multilateral, multifaceted and U.S. Army Europe-led security cooperation exercise primarily focused on the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

NottiLucenti gleams as well in celebrating art and culture with internationally known artists performing all around the streets and museums of San Gimignano from dusk to dawn.

Gioco del Ponte Bridge Game This historical event is held in Pisa every year on June 29 from 7-11 p.m. in two distinct phases: first comes an historical procession along the Arno River, which is a sort of grand military parade with as many as 709
participants; and then the battle, which takes place on the Ponte di Mezzo, where neighborhood teams belonging to the two rival factions, Tramontana and Mezzogiorno, north and south of the river, demonstrate their physical prowess. The Ponte di Mezzo is prepared in advance with a machine like a shopping cart on rails to be pushed by the combatants, a tug-of-war in the opposite direction. Whichever team pushes the cart to the far end of the sliding rail is declared the winner.
