  • ALEXANDER M. CARELL PATCH, JR. General, US Army, Retired SMA
    ALEXANDER M. CARELL PATCH, JR. General, U.S. Army, Retired SMA Faculty 1920-1928 and 1932-1936 (1889 – 1945) Alexander M. “Sandy” Patch (23 November 1889 – 21 November 1945) was born on Fort Huachuca, a military post in Arizona where his father commanded a detachment. He never considered any career other than the army, and received his appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, in 1909. He wanted to follow his father into the cavalry, but realizing that it was becoming obsolete, he instead chose the infantry, into which he was commissioned in 1913. In World War I, Patch served as an infantry officer and as an instructor in the Army's machine gun school. While he was commanding troops on the front line in France, his leadership came to the attention of George Marshall, then a member of General John J. Pershing's staff. General Patch was on the faculty of Staunton from 1920 -1928 as Professor of Military Science and then from 1932 – 1936 as Commandant of Cadets and Professor of Military Science. World War II During the buildup before the United States' entry into World War II, General Marshall was appointed Chief of Staff of the United States Army. He promoted Patch to brigadier general, and sent him to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to supervise the training of new soldiers there. Pacific Theater Patch was promoted to major general on 10 March 1942. In that year, he was sent to the Pacific Theater of Operations to organize the reinforcement and defense of New Caledonia.

    USAG Stuttgart Handbook for Waste Sorting ON-POST Handbook for Waste Sorting - On-Post USAG Stuttgart Version July 2019 Table of Content Introduction 3 Recycling at USAG Stuttgart 4 Who, What, and How 5 Reduce - Tips for Waste Avoidance 6 Reuse - Thrift Shop 7 Paper & Cardboard 8 Glass & Metal Cans 9 Plastics 10 Electronic Scrap 11 Wood / Bulky Items / Metal Scrap 12 Car Tires / Toner Cartridges 13 Office Recycling Program 14 Hazardous Waste 15 Batteries 16 Paint / Medicine 17 Household Cleaner Reuse Program 18 Location of Recycling Containers 19 Contacts 20 printed on 100 % recycling paper Introduction Principles of reduce, reuse, recycle underlie policies established in Germany to foster sustainable materials management. The Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act, first published in1994, was designed to integrate product responsibility into economic decision-making, with the aim of building a life cycle economy that avoids the generation of waste. The Act states that whoever produces, markets and consumes goods is responsible for the avoidance, recycling, reuse, and environmentally-sound disposal of waste. As a result, it establishes a hierarchy of avoidance, recovery, and disposal that emphasizes waste avoidance, promotes low-waste products, and provides incentives for waste recovery practices. Properly sorting and recycling waste in turn: Saves energy Reduces air pollution Decreases greenhouse gas emissions Saves money Your participation is vital for the success of all recycling efforts! Making small changes in your daily life style will reduce waste! REDUCE the amount of trash discarded, e.g., choose products with less packaging. Choose loose fruit, cheese, and meat. Buy products in glass jars and tins which can be recycled.
