"There will be more things occurring in collaboration with IMCOM," Perna said. (More: www.army.mil/article/217898) JMC Updates AMC Commanding General On Feb. 26, the Joint Munitions Command conducted its quarterly review with the Army Materiel Command Commanding General, Gen. Gustave "Gus" Perna. These quarterly meetings allow Perna to review the accomplishments and initiatives of JMC, which is of 10 major subordinate commands of AMC. At the beginning of the meeting, Perna gave coins to select employees for their exceptional work during the last quarter. Perna stated that the coins were "combat patch color, and I can't think of a better representation of people supporting combat than through munitions. Your location in Rock Island doesn't represent the impact you have throughout the world." The Commanding General of JMC, Brig. Gen. Michelle M.T. Letcher, led the brief and focused on how JMC is operationalizing AMC initiatives.

Introduced two years ago, the program empowers junior leaders at the squad level to reduce sexual assault and violence by building cohesive units through shared and mutual trust. According to written testimony provided to lawmakers by Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey, the service has now spread the program to 27 ready and resilient campuses on Army installations. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Dailey testified that the service has also conducted 17 workshops that showed positive feedback. Certified resiliency trainers have been embedded at the company level to train Soldiers on sustaining readiness and optimizing performance.

"We've been very consistent about where we're trying to take the Army … by 2028," said Under Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy. "We are trying to enable the National Defense Strategy, and we have taken some pretty dramatic steps to get there." The under secretary discussed the Army's upcoming budget request during the Association of the U.S. Army's Institute of Land Warfare breakfast series in Arlington, Virginia Tuesday morning.

Owning Marijuana Stocks May Skunk Your Security Clearance or Chances of Getting One If you work for the Defense Department, owning one of the most talked about and potentially lucrative stocks on the market may put your job in jeopardy. The DoD Consolidated Adjudications Facility’s current legal position is that ownership of marijuana stocks is considered involvement in drug-related activities, and would be a “reportable incident” under the continuous evaluation process. Potentially, it could lead to the loss of security clearances for service members, contractors and DoD civilians. Owning the stocks could prevent someone from gaining a security clearance as well. The policy was first publicly circulated in a recent post by the Facebook group Air Force amn/nco/snco. A Pentagon spokeswoman later confirmed its accuracy to Federal News Network. The post included an email sent from Air Combat Command’s headquarters, quoting answers it had been sent by the DoDCAF. The policy in the email affects all DoD employees and contractors, not just airmen, a DoD spokeswoman told Federal News Network.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.

  • A Brief History of the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission Davenport, Iowa (1952)
    A Brief History of the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission Davenport, Iowa (1952) The ordinance creating the Davenport Levee Improvement Commission was originally adopted on May 17, 1911. The first Commission was appointed in June 1911 by Mayor A.C. Mueller, who, by ordinance, was the Chairman of the Commission. The first members of the Commission were: W.D. Petersen, merchant and philanthropist, W.H. Kimball, consulting engineer, R.J. Clausen, architect, and A.M. Compton, City Engineer. Later, members of the Commission have all been responsible businessmen who serve without pay. They have been appointed on a staggered basis which has resulted in a smooth working organization which has always had members experienced in the work of the Commission in its roster. At one of the early meetings of the Commission, the following statement, made by Mr. W.H. Kimball, typifies the feeling of responsibility and the vision which existed in the Commission’s membership from the very beginning and which has guided all of the actions of the members ever since. “The first Levee Improvement Commission has a great responsibility. We are, so to speak, pioneers in this new civic undertaking, and the path which we will blaze must be such that all future Commissions can carry the work of developing Davenport’s riverfront to a successful conclusion. I suggest that we develop a comprehensive plan for our ultimate riverfront improvements so that this work can be carried on by this and all future Commissions in an efficient and economical way with the ultimate goal of an economically useful and a beautiful riverfront.” An interesting commentary on the work of the Commission is found in the fact that Major General Lansing H.
