    XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS ASSOCIATION SKY DRAGONS Spring 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 82ND DOMINATES XVIII ABN CORPS NCO AND SOLDIER OF YEAR COMPETITION Left to Right – CSM (Ret) Ted Gaweda, Pfc. Jeremy Shivick, Sgt. Jason Thomas, Alan Yeater On 5 April in a ceremony conducted at Sports USA, a huge sports bar at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, two paratroopers of the XVIII Airborne Corps' 82nd Airborne Division were selected as the XVIII Airborne Corps' 2012 NCO and Soldier of the Year. They were Sgt. Jason T. Thomas, 26, and Pfc. Jeremy Shivick, 21. Both Soldiers are assigned to the 1st Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which is part of the division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team (BCT). This is 2 the first time that both winners were from the same unit. The competition was held from 2 to 4 April, and the winners were announced during the ceremony which was presided over by the Ft. Bragg Garrison Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Samuel Campbell and the command sergeant major of XVIII Abn Corps' NCO Academy, CSM Nicolino Parisi. These were four days of grueling, early morning and late night events which included basic Soldier skills, the Army physical fitness test, a written exam, urban map orienteering, M4 rifle qualification, a weapons event, and an interview board. The competition certainly challenged the confidence and motivation of the Soldiers. Twenty-one Soldiers competed, representing each subordinate unit of the XVIII Abn Corps. Spc. Michael C. Lauritzen, from Jackson, Michigan, assigned to the 716th MP Battalion, 16th MP Brigade, Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, was quoted saying, “I'm grateful for being here, glad that my leadership had the confidence in me to compete at this level.

On behalf of all of us, we'd like to say to them -- thank you very much for this wonderful labor of love. You are outstanding. For those who are interested, there are pictures of the National Airborne Day 70th Anniversary celebration at Ft. Bragg, N.C. on August 14, 2010 at which Dad was the keynote speaker. My brother Rick was able to go with Dad and had a front row seat. Rick said it was an impressive turnout and a heart-stirring celebration with pinpoint landings by the paratroopers who presented Dad with the baton. Dad was very honored to be there as the keynote speaker to celebrate the efforts of all his comrades who started the airborne and for all who followed in their footsteps. His speech, which he gave without a note, was in the words of my brother -- a hit into the stratosphere. The pictures can be found at: Lieutenant General Frank Helmick Welcome! | Facebook . Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick is the Commanding General of the 18th Airborne Corps which includes both the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division.

  • Operation Iraqi Freedom: Strategies, Approaches, Results, and Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL34387 Operation Iraqi Freedom: Strategies, Approaches, Results, and Issues for Congress Updated October 28, 2008 Catherine Dale Specialist in International Security Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Operation Iraqi Freedom: Strategies, Approaches, Results, and Issues for Congress Summary Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was launched on March 20, 2003, with the immediate stated goal of removing Saddam Hussein’s regime and destroying its ability to use weapons of mass destruction or to make them available to terrorists. Over time, the focus of OIF shifted from regime removal to the more open-ended mission of helping the Government of Iraq (GoI) improve security, establish a system of governance, and foster economic development. Over time, an insurgency gained strength in Iraq and violence escalated. In January 2007, the Bush Administration announced a new strategy, the “new way forward,” which included both a troop surge and new counter-insurgency approaches that emphasized population security and reconciliation. The last surge brigade redeployed from Iraq without replacement in July 2008. Most observers agree that security conditions in Iraq have improved markedly since mid-2007. In August 2008, then-Commanding General of Multi-National Force-Iraq, General David Petraeus, noted that there had been “significant progress” but argued that it was “still not self-sustaining.”1 On September 9, President Bush, calling the decision a “return on success,” announced that about 8,000 additional U.S. troops would redeploy from Iraq without replacement by February 2009. The next major OIF development may be the conclusion of a U.S.-Iraqi Status of Forces-like agreement (SOFA) that establishes a legal basis for the presence of U.S.

  • Operation Unified Response – Haiti Earthquake 2010
    Unified Response ver. 1 Nov 2010 Operation Unified Response – Haiti Earthquake 2010 Asst. Professor David R. DiOrio – Joint Forces Staff College On January 12, 2010, a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake centered 25 km southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti killed over 230,000 people, injured another 300,000, and created over one million homeless (IWG, 2010). An estimated 45,000 Americans were stranded. The country’s infrastructure was decimated. A majority of air and sea transport facilities became inoperable. Hospitals were destroyed and key access roads were blocked with debris which greatly hampered rescue and aid efforts. Six field hospitals at schools and stadiums were established within a few days, but the medical situation was bleak. The Haitian government (GoH), with a majority of civil leadership dead, was paralyzed. On the day of the quake, the President of Haiti declared a national emergency confirmed by the U.S. Ambassador to Haiti and both requested immediate assistance from the United States and the international community (USSOUTHCOM OPORD 01-10, 2010). The overall security situation in Haiti remained amazing calm, but delays in relief supply distribution led to angry appeals from aid workers and survivors. Looting and violence was sporadic and local police presence was virtually non-existent. Four thousand inmates from the Prison Civile de Port-au-Prince were unleashed on the public. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and now the already fragile economy Day 1 - Collapse of the Presidential Palace was in shambles. The power grid, marginal even before the quake, was devastated and there were no available petroleum reserves for generators.
