For Immediate Release Army Announces FINAL FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARMY ANNOUNCES ASSOCIATED UNITS WASHINGTON, (March 22, 2016) – The United States Army announced today the implementation of the Associated Units pilot, establishing formal relationships between identified units across the Active Army, Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard that would allow those units to train together before deployment. “Much of America’s Army’s capacity is resident in the Reserve Components and we must rely more heavily on them to meet the demands of a complex global environment,” Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. Mark Milley said. “The Associated Units pilot allows us to leverage the capabilities and capacities of the Active Component, Army Reserve and the Army National Guard as One Army.” “The Associated Units pilot facilitates readiness and strategic depth across components,” Lt. Gen. Jeffrey W. Talley, Chief of Army Reserve said. “These units will train, build readiness, and ultimately fight as One Army.” The planned association of Georgia-based units will be the first Associated Units. This summer, Task Force 1-28 Infantry, an Active Army infantry battalion stationed on Fort Benning, Georgia, will be associated with the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, a Georgia Army National Guard unit. The 48th Infantry Brigade, meanwhile, will be associated with the Active Component’s 3rd Infantry Division, stationed on Fort Stewart, Georgia. "The Soldiers of Task Force 1-28 and the soldiers of the Georgia Army National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade will wear the patch of the 3rd Infantry Division,” Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Kadavy, Director of the Army National Guard said. “This brigade will train and, if called to do so, deploy and fight with the 3rd Infantry Division as an Associated Unit. These units will develop relationships and standards in home station so they may fight together in combat without having to meet on the battlefield and figure these things out.” In addition to the Georgia-based units, the following additional units will be associated under the Associated Units pilot this summer: The 1st Battalion, 143 Infantry Regiment from the Texas Army National Guard will be associated to the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy; The 1st Battalion, 151 Infantry Regiment from the Indiana Army National Guard will be associated to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division stationed in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; The Hawaii-based 100th Battalion, 442 Infantry Regiment, U.S. Army Reserve, will be associated with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division stationed in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; FINAL POC: Mr. Troy Rolan, [email protected] FINAL The 81st Armored Brigade Combat Team, Washington Army National Guard, will be associated with the 7th Infantry Division stationed in Joint Base Lewis- McChord, Washington; The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana, will be associated with the Texas Army National Guard’s 36th Infantry Division; The 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from the Vermont Army National Guard will be associated with the 10th Mountain Division, stationed in Fort Drum, New York; The North Carolina-based 824th Quartermaster Company, U.S. Army Reserve, will be associated with the 82nd Sustainment Brigade, stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina; The 249th Transportation Company, Texas Army National Guard, and the 1245th Transportation Company, Oklahoma Army National Guard, will be associated with the 1st Cavalry Division Sustainment Brigade, stationed in Fort Hood, Texas; The 840th Engineer Company, Texas Army National Guard, will be associated with the 36th Engineer Brigade, stationed in Fort Hood, Texas; The 1176th Transportation Company, Tennessee Army National Guard and the 2123rd Transportation Company, Kentucky Army National Guard, will be associated with the 101st Sustainment Brigade, stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and The 5th Engineer Battalion, stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, will be associated with the 35th Engineer Brigade from the Missouri Army National Guard. -30- FINAL POC: Mr. Troy Rolan, [email protected] .

  • Fifteenth Infantry Regiment
    April 2018 Fifteenth Infantry Regiment “The Old China Hands” www.15thinfantry.org Dear Fellow Old China Hands, I hope all of you have survived winter and are enjoying spring weather, although in many parts of the country winter has been reluctant to relinquish its grip. I attended the 15th Infantry Regimental Ball hosted by 3-15 Infantry at the Savannah Marriott Riverfront on 6 April. It was a great event and you will get the details and photos in the article from the battalion in this issue. I would like to thank LTC Marks and his staff for organizing a wonderful evening that celebrated our Regiment’s unique history, traditions, and heritage. Guest speaker LTG Stephen M. Twitty, former China Six and former B/3-15 IN commander, delivered inspirational remarks on the 15th anniversary of the Thunder Run and TF 3-15 IN’s battles for Objectives Larry, Moe, and Curly. We were joined by Vice President Tad Davis, Mike Horn, CSM Mark Baker, and Korean War veteran Mr. David Mills and his wife Shirley. We were very happy to meet the incoming battalion commander, LTC Arthur McGrue, III, who is coming from 1st Army where he worked for LTG Twitty. He previously commanded B/1-15 IN during the Surge in Iraq in 2007! His military biography is included in this issue. We also met CSM Higley and his wife, Jillian, newly arrived from the Sergeants Major Academy. This command team promises to be another great tandem for the Association to work with. The Ball also fell on the 156th anniversary of the Regiment’s first major battle of the Civil War at Shiloh.

Joseph Brown Anaconda Times Staff See Page 15 LSA ANCONDA, Iraq - As tax season comes to a close, there is no need for servicemembers to worry about dwindling deadlines. Extensions are given and filing help is available here until May 15. “All deployed servicemembers automatically have a 180 day extension to file their taxes,” said Sgt. Bethany Becker of Hutto, Texas, the legal as- sistance noncommissioned officer in charge, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary). “The 180 days starts when they redeploy.” There is also filing assistance for servicemem- bers on Anaconda, much like on any active duty Army base in the States. The consolidated legal center, located at building 9103, can help service- members prepare forms 1040a and 1040EZ. “We offer electronic filing of federal and state taxes,” Becker said. “If servicemembers have any other tax issues, I will do my best to help or find someone who can help them.” Assistance at the tax center is free, and if ser- vicemembers file their taxes using the E-file pro- gram, they can receive their refund in as little as 10 days, Becker said.

    The Voice of Sustainment in CONUS Provider Base 13th Sustainment Command Volume 10, Issue 3 (Expeditionary) FALL 2012 LSOC Materiel Management Commander’s Corner C OLONEL Knowles Y. Atchison Greetings Teammates, About seven years ago LTG (R) Stevens wrote a white paper on “Where did my MMC go.” This was in response to many complaints the Army will not survive without Divisional and Corps level Material Management Centers. This has proven to be untrue of course, we still have all the capabilities of the MMCs and it’s just located in different places. Modularity has reshaped our force structure and after 9 years of heavy fighting on two fronts, we are not trying to reeducate our leaders on what right looks like.This would be fairly easy, except in the last ten years the Army established four Enterprise Systems; AMC (Material Enterprise), INSCOM (Installation Operations), FORSCOM (Readiness and Training) and TRADOC (Doctrine and Schools.) As we reset and retrain our Army back to a contingency based force, we are forced to merge three Enterprise Systems (AMC, FORSCOM and INSCOM) at the Installation level. The Sustainment Operations Centers (SOCs) that FORSCOM directed be setup on each FORSCOM Installation are merging these three Enterprise systems. The real power of the old MMC concept was not setting parameters on the SARSS boxes; it was clearly seeing the sustainment issues and bringing the right resources to bear on the problem. The SOC concept will do this. The other most powerful piece of the old MMCs was the analysis (the old R&A) that could be done to see and track trends.
