Ward Printing Services provided by Colonial Printing, Columbia, SC From the Editorial Staff: This edition of 1775 is dedicated to the “AG NCO”. The US Army’s NCO Corps distinguished itself as the worlds most accomplished group of military professionals. Historical and daily accounts of life as an NCO are exemplified by acts of courage, and a dedication and willingness to do whatever it takes to complete the mission. HR NCOs have also been celebrated for decorated service throughout the Army’s long and distinguished history, to current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In recognition of their commitment to service and willingness to make great sacrifices on behalf of our Nation, our Army, Commanders, Soldiers and their Families, we dedicate this edition of 1775 to the “AG NCO”. We hope you enjoy this edition of 1775 and solicit your comments and feedback at [email protected]. Bob Ortiz, VP Pubs & Editor, 1775 Colonel (Retired), US Army, [email protected] 2 The Journal of the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association, www.AGCRA.com SECTION I: Regimental Leadership Notes from the Chief of the Corps By COL Todd Garlick, Commander, Soldier Support Institute, Chief of the AG Corps, and Chief, Army Bands schools, and all he wanted in return was the opportunity to reenlist and continue to serve his Country. It is this type of selfless service that epitomizes our AG NCO Corps today. Here at Fort Jackson, we have placed increased emphasis on the program of instruction at the NCO Academy. BG MacEwen, the previous Commander of the Soldier Support Institute, has commented more than once on the importance of the NCO. To paraphrase his words, if we don’t get our instruction right with our AIT Soldiers and young Privates, an NCO will have to fix it. If Fellow AGs, this edition of 1775 is we fail to educate a Lieutenant, Captain or dedicated to our Noncommissioned Officer Warrant Officer, an NCO will fix it. But if we Corps, the strength and “the backbone of our fail to instruct our NCOs, we will never get it Army” and our Corps. We have articles from right. For that reason, today’s program of across the width and breadth of our Adjutant instruction at the NCO Academy more closely General’s Corps that attest to our NCOs and resembles battle staff training, with a focus on the important role they play in taking care of the Military Decision Making Process our Soldiers. (MDMP). One of the honors that I have as the Chief AG NCO professional development courses of the Corps is being asked to preside over are doctrinally based and modularized around promotion, reenlistment and award the four HR Core Competencies of; Man the ceremonies. I was recently asked by an NCO, Force, Provide HR Services, Coordinate who I met at our Enlisted Critical Task Site Personnel Support and Conduct HR Planning Selection Board (CTSSB), to conduct his and Operations. The redesigned 42A reenlistment ceremony. As I prepared for this Advanced Leaders Course (ALC) and Senior event, I read through his ERB and biography, Leaders Course (SLC) are designed to produce and I began to appreciate what our young NCO HR leaders who are doctrinally sound, NCOs are being asked to do in caring for our technically capable, and execute HR missions Soldiers and their Families. This particular as critical and creative thinkers. Our NCOs NCO had recently redeployed from are receiving more hands on instruction on Afghanistan while serving with the 2d Brigade Army HR systems, and intense training on the (Strike), 101st Airborne (Air Assault). MDMP than ever before. Previously, he had served as a Senior One of our senior instructors at the Soldier Human Resources Sergeant in Iraq with the Support Institute’s Warrior Training Area, 101st Sustainment Brigade. Mix in multiple where we replicate a Forward Operating Base assignments in DC, and this particular NCO operating in an austere environment, and his young family had PCS’ed three times remarked on the products that a recent NCOA in nine short years, deployed twice, been on class had produced. In short, he stated that if extended TDYs to his NCOES, Instructor he hadn’t known better, he would have sworn Certification, and numerous other military that the products this NCO Academy class 1775 Fall 2013 3 produced came from a Captain’s Career Course – they were that professional and in-depth. This validates what I have seen as I travel around our Army and visit with HR professionals. Our NCOs are being asked to do more than ever before in terms of tactical and operational planning. Personnel Services Delivery Redesign, which placed personnel support at the tip of the spear in our deployable combat formations, has highlighted the importance of having AG NCOs who are masters of our profession. One trained and ready senior NCO in a battalion or a brigade can make a difference in HR support, and our NCOs are stepping up to that challenge. The state of our Corps is such that I am confident we are right in focusing development on our NCOs, who in turn are ensuring our junior enlisted, officers and warrant officers get the mentorship and leadership that they need and deserve. Gone are the days where we ask our NCOs to attend a school, learn through rote memorization, and where our instructors teach to a test. Our Army and our Soldiers deserve better, and our training developers and NCO instructors / facilitators have delivered. I use the term facilitator to highlight the fact that our cadre are learning how to leverage the experiences of our students in order to achieve the desired learning objectives.

Logistics Excellence Awards ceremony in Heidelberg, Germany, March 23. In his remarks at the event, USAREUR Commander Gen. Carter Ham said this year's awards are noteworthy because continued deployments over the past eight years have made the already tough process of competing for the CLEA even more difficult. “It’s not like 10 years ago, when you could focus your entire unit’s energy on preparing for this award,” said Ham. “The way we do business today in the Army, if you don’t have sound systems -- if you don’t have excellent systems - - no surge or special effort is going to allow you to be good enough to win these awards.” Organizations earn the awards based on an entry packet containing the unit’s profile and descriptions of its achievements during the previous 12 months, followed by rigorous on-site evaluations by subject-matter experts.

    U.S. Army Europe announces newest transformation actions March 1, 2013 By U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Tweet HEIDELBERG, Germany – The Department of Defense announced today U.S. Army Social Media Europe restructuring actions in 2013 involving units of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Facebook Combat Team. Twitter Headquarters, Headquarters Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Flickr and 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, both stationed at Caserma Ederle, Vicenza, Italy, will move to the Del Din (formerly known as Dal Molin) facility in YouTube Vicenza, Italy. 173rd Special Troops Battalion and 173rd Brigade Support Battalion, both stationed in Bamberg, Germany, will move to the Del Din facility in Vicenza, Italy. 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, Schweinfurt, Germany, and 4th Battalion, 319th Field Artillery Regiment, Bamberg, Germany, will move to Grafenwoehr, Germany. 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment will remain at Caserma Ederle in Vicenza, Italy. The unit moves from Bamberg and Schweinfurt will enable the Army to continue to reshape USAREUR posture in line with our national defense strategy and to support Combatant commanders, NATO and our European Allies. The moves will also facilitate the timely and cost-effective closure of DOD installations in Bamberg and Schweinfurt. 173rd ABCT incoming personnel will be immediately assigned to these new locations. In Italy, initial occupancy of Del Din begins in March with full operational capability planned for June 2013. We expect moves to continue through the fall, as the units complete their reintegration process. DOD'S February 2012 announcement reducing some 2,500 positions in enabling units in U.S. Army Europe, in addition to inactivating two infantry brigades, allowed USAREUR officials to adjust stationing plans to maximize the use of our most modern facilities in both Italy and Germany.
