  • Class Narrative Class 16-66 D1 10 February 1966 –12 May 1966 U.S. Army Armor School OCS
    Class Narrative Class 16-66 D1 10 February 1966 –12 May 1966 U.S. Army Armor School OCS Class 16-66, Company D1 was the fifth OCS class at Fort Knox since the OCS course there closed during the Korean War. It was also the first of three Company D1 classes, and the first of three thirteen week Phase I classes that would be sent to Fort Lee, Virginia for Phase II OCS training and commissioning in the Quartermaster Corps. Phase I training cycle for the class started on Thursday 10 February 1966 with 116 volunteers and ended on Thursday 12 May 1966 with 93 graduates being sent to Fort Lee. Five members of the starting class would be recycled to Class 21-66, another Phase I Quartermaster class, and all five would graduate with that class at Fort Knox. Eighteen individuals would either quit or be relieved from the course. Unfortunately there was no news article in the Fort Knox post weekly newspaper about the class completing OCS training at Fort Knox. The 93 individuals sent to Fort Lee started Phase II of OCS training on Monday, 16 May 1966. On Tuesday, 19 July 1966 90 members of the class, re-designated Class 66-16, would be commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Quartermaster Corps. The Honor Graduate was Richard A. Platt followed by Distinguished Graduates, in order of class ranking, Robert L. Whiteley, Louis Plank, Norris C. Conner and Richard D. Walls. These five individuals received special recognition by having “with distinction” printed in gold lettering on their diplomas.

Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-02, High Performance Sustainable Building Requirements, 1 MAR 13. e. High Performance Sustainable Building Guiding Principles, 1 DEC 08. 2. Executive Order 13423 requires that all new construction and major renovation comply with the High Performance Sustainable Building Guiding Principles (GP). The Department of Defense requires through DoD Instruction 4171.11 that the services (Army, Navy and Air Force) report their buildings complying with the GP through the Annual Energy Management Report. This information is then provided to the Department of Energy to show compliance with Executive Order 13423. 3. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification can indicate compliance with many of the GPs. Therefore, it is important to identify when buildings have achieved LEED certification to assist the services in complying with GP requirements and EO 13423. The tracking of GP compliance is accomplished through real property inventory and data ECB No. 2013-24 Subject: Engineering and Construction Bulletin (ECB) Management and Format Requirements base with each building is identified by a RPUID. Therefore it is also important to link the RPIUD to LEED certified buildings. 4. Attached is a list of LEED certified buildings where USACE served as the design/construction agent sorted by USACE district.

  • How the Indians Came to Carlisle
    HOW THE INDIANS CAME TO CARLISLE By Louis MORTON* L ATE on the night of October 6, 1879, the townspeople of Car- L lisle, Pennsylvania, began to gather at the railroad junction just east of the town. Impatiently the crowd awaited the arrival of the train. Aboard were no distinguished passengers, only about 100 Indian boys and girls from some of the fiercest tribes in the West. For many of the townsmen, it would be their first sight of real Indians, but it was more than curiosity that had brought theni out so late that brisk fall night. These Indians were no passing side-show. They had come to live at Carlisle, at the old military barracks where a school for Indians was to be formed. The train was bringing in the first class.' From this beginning grew the famed Indian School at Carlisle. For almost forty years the school prospered, attracting wide atten- tion and strong support from friends of the red man, to fall at last a fatality to World War I, when it was converted into an Army hospital.t Its students, numbering in the thousands, took back to their people a better understanding of the white man's civilization; its great athletes swept all opposition before them and left in their wake a string of broken records and a host of anecdotes. To Carlisle the school brought fame and a golden era it still recalls nostalgically. But all this lay in the future that night when the townsmen greeted the bewildered and sleepy Indian children who descended from the train at midnight to begin the long weary march to their new home.
