Band of Brother's Easy Company returns from Afghanistan, ends era

The 506th Infantry Regiment has had a powerful lineage ever since their initial activation, July 20, 1942. Since World War II, the 506th has been inactivated, reactivated and re-designated a number of times. They have served within different brigades, divisions and military posts.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 506th Infantry Regiment reunited in September 2005 under the Colors of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, and have since had two separate deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The last group of Soldiers of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, or BCT, "Currahee", 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), consisting mainly of Soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, returned home in the early hours of Sunday, marking the end of an era for the brigade. "This is the final flight of the Band of Brothers, and the final rendezvous with destiny as we furl the colors," said Lt. Col. Scott W. Kirkpatrick, commander of 2nd Battalion 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th BCT, 101st Airborne Division. "It's been a great honor to be the commander of the 2nd of the 506th, and a great honor to be a commander in this organization." Aside from feeling honored to have experienced a deployment as a commanding Currahee, his battalion returned without losing a single Soldier. "We were able to bring everybody home for my battalion, which is usually a very tough thing to do," expressed Kirkpatrick. "This mission was difficult, but we are very, very happy to be back." While the majority of the brigade returned after seven months of being away, the Soldiers of Easy Company were re-tasked and stayed a full nine months, until the completion of the mission. "This is a phenomenal organization," Kirkpatrick explained. "This organization has always been focused on accomplishing the mission no matter what it was, where it was or how difficult it was. "Our time in the Khost Province, [Afghanistan], north of Kabul and south of Kabul -- accomplishing those missions -- that's the take away, the legacy of what the Band of Brothers is," Kirkpatrick said.  While the 4th BCT will be inactivating, the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, will be realigned to 1st BCT "Bastogne," 101st Airborne Division, and 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, will be realigned to 3rd BCT "Rakkasan," 101st Airborne Division. The colors of the 506th will continue to fly, maintaining the history and pride that the unit has achieved over the span of the regiment's life time.
"No matter where," exclaimed Kirkpatrick, "we always, always accomplish a mission!"

Find Your Way in Army Pathfinder School

PATHFINDER SCHOOL

Find Your Way in Army Pathfinder School

Army Pathfinders are specialists in navigating their way through foreign terrain and establishing safe landing zones for Airborne and Air Assault Soldiers or Army aircraft. Many times they are asked to parachute into remote areas, navigate their way to unobstructed locations, then relay those coordinates back to a command center.

The mission of the U.S. Army Pathfinder School is to provide a three week course in which the student navigates dismounted, establishes and operates a day/night helicopter landing zone, establishes and operates a day/night CARP, GMRS, and Army VIRS parachute DZ, conducts slingload operations, provides air traffic control and navigational assistance to RW and FW airborne operations. Students participate in a three day FTX as a member of a Pathfinder Team.

U.S. Army Air Assault School is a 10-day course

AIR ASSAULT SCHOOL

U.S. Army Air Assault School is a 10-day course designed to prepare Soldiers for insertion, evacuation, and pathfinder missions that call for the use of multipurpose transportation and assault helicopters. Air Assault training focuses on the mastery of rappelling techniques and sling load procedures, skills that involve intense concentration and a commitment to safety and preparation.

Most Air Assault cadets will attend Sabalauski Air Assault School, located at Fort Campbell, Ky. Training is broken into three phases, each lasting three days: Combat Assault Phase, Sling Load Phase, and Rappel Phase. On graduation day, cadets will undergo a 12-mile rucksack march. When they complete the march, they will earn their wings as official Air Assault Soldiers.

Air Assault School is necessarily physically and mentally demanding, as Soldiers will be required handle heavy equipment and perform dangerous tasks under extremely stressful conditions. Successful candidates must possess a keen eye for detail and a dedication to meticulous preparation.

Sapper Leader Course helps turn Soldiers into premier combat engineers

Twenty-five-year-old 1st Lt. Katherine Baumann loves to be challenged and decided there would be no limits to what she could learn and experience with a career in the U.S. Army.
Baumann attended Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. She studied chemical engineering while also participating in the U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Once she received her degree, she decided to join the Army for the adventure and unmatched opportunities it would provide.  "I wanted to have a purpose in life and basically do the unexpected, and I wanted to lead Soldiers," Baumann said. Prior to setting her sights on the renowned Sapper Leader Course, Baumann gained engineering experience in the Army working in both horizontal and vertical construction platoons. She was later deployed to Afghanistan for route clearance operations. "I came to Sapper Leader Course specifically to become a better leader," Baumann said. "All the people in my unit who have Sapper tabs are exceptional leaders, and I want to be more like them." The Sapper Leader Course is an engineer-specific, 28-day course designed to turn Soldiers into Sapper leaders. During the challenging course, Soldiers are transformed into elite combat engineers by becoming experts in specific engineer tasks, infantry skills, mountaineering, airborne and air assault operations.

Fellowships, scholarships offer officers career-broadening opportunities

Officers looking for challenges beyond their military training might want to consider applying for some interesting civilian education opportunities, said Joel Strout, program manager for the Army's Broadening Opportunity Program. The fellowships and scholarships now being offered allow candidates to take their families with them and some even offer interesting travel opportunities, he said. While these opportunities are good for personal development, Strout said they also benefit the Army because they broaden an officer's perspective, and the experience helps them better mentor younger officers. "I've heard nothing but positive feedback from candidates who've been through the programs," Strout added. There are four scholarships and fellowships within the Broadening Opportunity Program. The deadline for application for each is Feb. 28. The General Wayne A. Downing Scholarship, a program for captains and junior majors, provides studies in terrorism and counterterrorism at a top-tier university that's intermediate-level area of concentration accredited, or ILE-AOC. Would-be applicants can find more information in MILPER message 13-362. Also for captains and junior majors is the George & Carol Olmsted Scholarship, a program culminating in a master's-level liberal arts degree at a foreign university. While pursing the degree, candidates can travel around their host country and learn about its culture and economics, Strout said. The program is one of the Army's oldest. It was first offered in the 1960s. Additional details are available in MILPER message 13-363. Ideal candidates for the General Wayne A. Downing Scholarship and the George & Carol Olmsted Scholarship will have had command experience and will have taken the Graduate Record Exam. Two additional fellowships are for senior majors and junior lieutenant colonels.

Nine Soldiers named to 2014 U.S. Olympic Team

Nine Soldiers in the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program are members of the U.S. Olympic Team that will compete at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, scheduled for Feb. 7-24 in Sochi, Russia. The United States Olympic Committee officially announced the team today. The Soldier-athletes named to Team USA are 2010 Olympic gold medalist in four-man bobsled Sgt. Justin Olsen, 26, of San Antonio; 2010 Olympic bobsledder Capt. Christopher Fogt, 30, of Alpine, Utah; 2010 Olympic bobsledder Sgt. Nick Cunningham, 27, of Monterey, Calif.; bobsledder Sgt. Dallas Robinson, 31, of Georgetown, Ky.; 2006 Olympic luger Sgt. Preston Griffall, 29, of Salt Lake City; and luger Sgt. Matt Mortensen, 28, of Huntington Station, N.Y.  Three World Class Athlete Program, or WCAP, coaches also will represent the U.S. Army in Russia. Team USA luge coach Staff Sgt. Bill Tavares, 50, of Lake Placid, N.Y., will be making his sixth appearance in the Olympics, including once as an athlete and five times as a coach. Team USA skeleton coach Sgt. 1st Class Tuffield "Tuffy" Latour, 45, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., will make his fourth trip to the Olympics. He has coached U.S. and Canadian men's and women's bobsledders to Olympic medals. Team USA assistant bobsled coach 1st Lt. Michael Kohn, 41, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., is a two-time Olympic competitor who will make his Olympic coaching debut at the Sochi Games. He won a bronze medal in four-man bobsled as a WCAP athlete at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. USA-1 bobsled driver Steven Holcomb, 33, of Park City, Utah, is the reigning Olympic champion in the four-man event. He spent seven years in the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program. The 230-member team is comprised of 105 women and 125 men -- the largest athlete delegation for any nation in the history of the Olympic Winter Games. The United States will be represented in all 15 disciplines across seven sports, and up to 94 of the 98 medal events that will be contested in Sochi. "We are thrilled to announce the 230 athletes who will represent Team USA in Sochi," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. "This is the largest team we have ever sent to an Olympic Winter Games, and I'd like to commend all of those who helped support our athletes in the pursuit of their Olympic dreams. Most of all, this is a time to celebrate our athletes, who have made countless sacrifices and dedicated themselves to being their best, both on and off the ice and snow. I am very excited to watch them compete as they represent our nation with excellence and distinction on the world stage."

Army to open 33,000 positions to female Soldiers in April

About 33,000 of the positions in the Army today that are closed to women are closed because they were in units that were designated as direct ground combat. That will change this year in units that are not under Army Special Operations. The Office of the Secretary of Defense recently notified Congress of the Army's intent to open those 33,000 positions to women. The change is expected to take place in April 2014, said Col. Linda Sheimo, chief of the Command Programs and Policy Division at the Directorate of Military Personnel Management, Army G-1.
Sheimo said that with recent force structure changes, the Army moved away from "focusing on units. Our plan allowed us to identify all the positions that were closed across the three components, regardless of the unit." Those 33,000 positions do not include anything within the Special Operations community, she said. "When we complete congressional notification in April 2014, the Army will have opened approximately 55,000 positions to women, across all three components, since May 2012. " Sheimo said.

'Arrowhead' lieutenant paves way for female Soldiers

Every generation has its pioneers, its trailblazers; persons who pave the way for the next generation. The Army is no exception. In the predominately male discipline of field artillery, there have been a few firsts for females. They have been female Fire Direction Officers in Mobile Launch Rocket System teams and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System crews before, but never have they been in a M777A1 Howitzer Cannon unit. That is until 2nd Lt. Taylor Cardosi arrived at 3-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 7th Infantry Division, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. Cardosi, 22, a native of Stillwater, Mass., is a fire direction officer, or FDO, working in the 1st Battalion, 37th Artillery Regiment Battalion Fire Direction Center, and the first female to do so. We get fire missions from our battalion, which come from the maneuvers section," said Cardosi. "We process the data and send it to the guns."
Cardosi's appointment as FDO is hot on the heels of the Department of Defense's decision to eventually open all military jobs to females. However, while some positions remain closed as the Department of Defense works out details, the job of FDO opened up only days after Cardosi's entry into active duty, Dec. 27, 2012. "I was 100 percent surprised when I got here," said Cardosi. "I just showed up and I immediately went to the field." Guerard said his platoon was a little apprehensive at first because the idea of a female artilleryman was something new to them, but Cardosi's work ethic at Yakima Training Center, Wash., during the brigade's training exercise there in October, showed him and his Soldiers that there was no difference between Cardosi and her male counterparts. "She strives to do great things," Guerard said. "She's already setting herself apart from her peers. Absolutely there is no difference. She's just another one of the team."

Women leaders serve as role models, whether they realize it or not

The Army's Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, said she tried not to consider the role her gender played on her professional development as she climbed higher through the ranks in the Army. But at some point, she said, it would become inevitable that somebody would point it out to her. Just in 2011, in fact, as she had been named the first female, first non-physician to be appointed as the Army surgeon general, she was approached several times about the uniqueness of her position. "The U.K. called, when I was in Afghanistan, and said congratulations -- 'how does it feel to know the entire world is watching to see if you succeed or fail?'" Horoho said. "I have to tell you, I was holding the phone and I thought, 'I'm not sure if I should be happy with the call or if I just got insulted.'" Both Horoho and Lt. Gen. Flora D. Darpino, the Army's judge advocate general, or JAG, spoke Jan. 22, before the Women Mayors' Caucus in Washington, D.C. The caucus is part of the larger United States Conference of Mayors, for mayors of cities with 30,000 or more citizens. The group held its 82nd Winter Meeting, Jan 22-24, in the nation's capital. Horoho said more recently she was approached by the Israeli surgeon general. "He said 'you need to know when you got selected, it was the shot that was heard around the world. Because if the United States places a female in their highest position within Army medicine, then it caused other nations to look and say why aren't we doing that? Why aren't we following suit?'" Later, she said, two positions in the Israeli military opened up for women to command. And now there are discussions about should they be general officers. "That's a huge change," she said.

Smarter robots likely in Army's future, planners say

Smarter robots likely in Army's future, planners say

Unmanned robots already have proven their worth on the battlefield, neutralizing improvised explosive devices, and more capable ones are coming in the future, according to the commander of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. While robots and unmanned platforms will continue to provide valuable assistance to Soldiers on the battlefield, there may even come a day when they can begin replacing Soldiers, Gen. Robert W. Cone told reporters at Association of the United States Army's Aviation Symposium, held earlier this month.
Cone's remarks sparked further discussion at a Jan. 22 media roundtable, co-hosted by the College of William & Mary and U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, known as TRADOC, held on the campus of W&M.  Discussions focused on a range of other issues as well that came out of this month's Strategic Trends Seminar, which looked at challenges and opportunities that will test the force in the coming years and decades. The Army already has teamed Apache helicopters and unmanned aircraft in Afghanistan so "there's a potential to augment that capability and in some cases and under specific circumstances to replace manpower," said Maj. Gen. Bill Hix, deputy director, Army Capabilities Integration Center. Dismounted ground robots are already assisting Soldiers, much in the way a bird dog provides extra eyes and ears and a keen sense of smell for a hunter, Hix said, borrowing an analogy.

Hagel, Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander Lead MLK Remembrance Event

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel honored the legacy and memory of Martin Luther King Jr. today at the Pentagon's annual MLK Day observance. Joining the secretary to give the event's keynote speech was Army Col. Gregory D. Gadson, who lost both legs above the knee and suffered severe arm and hand injuries during his third deployment to Iraq. Gadson now serves as garrison commander of Fort Belvoir, Va. King was an American pastor, activist, humanitarian and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement who was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tenn. In 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. "The rights that make America free, rights that this department protects and defends, come with heavy responsibilities like taking care of our people, looking out for one another, and lending a hand to those in need. Martin Luther King knew that," Hagel told the audience. King knew that no matter how one serves, the secretary added, service is ultimately about people, and hope for a better life and a better world, and "through all the struggles and sacrifices turning that hope into reality." King "was a man of vision, a man of passion, a man of commitment" who left a powerful legacy, the secretary said. He dedicated his life to a cause larger than his own self-interest, a cause that would spread across our nation and around the globe," Hagel said of the late civil rights leader. Then Hagel addressed Gadson. What … your life has represented, what you continue to do for this country is pretty special. … Your sacrifices, I think we all agree, define the power of the human spirit and we are especially honored to have you here today, on this day, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Day."

Recruiting force remains unchanged, despite shrinking goals

Military budgets have declined, the U.S. military is preparing to pull out of Afghanistan, and the Army is drawing down its force. But the Army must still recruit new Soldiers every year, and less money means it may be harder to put young Americans into uniform. Maj. Gen. Thomas Seamands, the Army's director of Military Personnel Management, discussed those challenges with members of the House Armed Services Committee, subcommittee on Military Personnel, Jan. 16. "Our Army is now made up of the highest quality, best trained, most experienced, and highest skilled Soldiers ever," Seamands said. "Our ability to meet the challenges of the current and future operational environment depends on our ability to recruit great citizens and retain great Soldiers."
