  • 1. Rangers in Iraq
    Rangers in Iraq \ \ Task Force Ranger, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry in the Persian Gulf War 10 November 1990 to 12 May 1991 written by First Lieutenant Jay C. Mumford, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment t 1. 31 August 1991 Fort Riley, Kansas A unit is made up of soldiers, and a unit's history is the sum of the experiences of its soldiers. Missions to execute, uniforms to wear, and equipment to fight with do not make a combat unit effective, and the simple reproduction of the facts of day to day movements do not make a history true. The truth is found when the stories and emotions of a fighting soldier are linked with the movements of his unit. My goal has been to assemble the stories and thoughts of the infantrymen, tankers, cooks, clerks, mechanics, medics and more that were Task Force Ranger, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment from 10 November 1990 to 15 May 1991. This is a history of soldiers. I have done my best to avoid writing a dry, stodgy history. To get the true impressions and stories of the men in the unit, I asked about 15 different soldiers to commit to paper a short, pithy, from-the-heart statement or story about various topics. Each piece, or precis, is placed in indentations. Read them in the visceral spirit in which they were written, and grasp what it was like to be there. The military, like any profession, has its own distinctive language and jargon. For the uninitiated reader, a discussion of LDs, TFs, BRDMs, NCOICs, LOis, HETS, and a host of other acronyms soon begins to resemble talk in a foreign language.

  • BIOGRAPHY General Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army, Retired
    BIOGRAPHY General Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army, Retired General Ham is the president and chief executive officer of the Association of the United States Army. He is an experienced leader who has led at every level from platoon to geographic combatant command. He is also a member of a very small group of Army senior leaders who have risen from private to four-star general. General Ham served as an enlisted infantryman in the 82nd Airborne Division before attending John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduating in 1976 as a distinguished military graduate, his service has taken him to Italy, Germany, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Macedonia, Qatar, Iraq and, uniquely among Army leaders, to over 40 African countries in addition to a number of diverse assignments within the United States. He commanded the First Infantry Division, the legendary Big Red One, before assuming duties as director for operations on the Joint Staff at the Pentagon where he oversaw all global operations. His first four-star command was as commanding general, U.S. Army Europe. Then in 2011, he became just the second commander of United States Africa Command where he led all U.S. military activities on the African continent ranging from combat operations in Libya to hostage rescue operations in Somalia as well as training and security assistance activities across 54 complex and diverse African nations. General Ham retired in June of 2013 after nearly 38 years of service. Immediately prior to joining the staff at AUSA, he served as the chairman of the National Commission on the Future of the Army, an eight-member panel tasked by the Congress with making recommendations on the size, force structure and capabilities of the Total Army.
