  • Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons
    Illustrated Guide United States Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons by Steven G. Haskin Current as of March 11, 2018 Illustrated Guide – United States Military Specification MIL-DTL-11589 Ribbons This guide is designed to illustrate the ribbons found in The Institute of Heraldry's Military (TIOH) MIL-DTL-11589 ribbon specifications to assist researchers, collectors, historians and those with a general interest in United States ribbons. Since the specifications change over time, the document is dated so the user can determine if they have the latest information. The source document is MIL-DLT-11589F, Ribbon, Awards, General Specification For and its associated specification sheets. These are commonly referred to as "slash" sheets because of the forward slash in the specification sheet number. Each sheet is award specific and listed numerically in MIL-DTL-11589F, Sup 1 which is the supplement to the general specification. For example; MIL-DTL-11589/1G is Ribbon, Commendation, U.S. Air Force. When first published, the initial specification sheet will not have a suffix letter. The first revision would be MIL-DTL-11589/1A and each successive change will be identified by the next letter. The letters "I" and "O" are not used due to possible confusion with 1 and 0 (zero). Suffixes are not used in this guide to ease the task of updates. Each specification sheet is designed to provide ribbon manufacturers the necessary information to ensure uniform quality, color, and dimensions irrespective of the manufacturer. Not all United States ribbons are included in the slash sheets. Either the governmental agency did not use TIOH to design or develop their award or because the ribbon is described in a different specification sheet, drawing or other document.

    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.

  • The Courage of General Matthew Ridgway
    The Courage of General Matthew Ridgway Full Lesson Plan COMPELLING QUESTION How can acting with courage help you accomplish your identity and purpose? VIRTUE Courage DEFINITION Courage is the capacity to overcome fear in order to do good. LESSON OVERVIEW In this lesson, students will explore the life of Matthew Ridgway and his role in the Korean War. Students will understand how Matthew Ridgway’s courage helped save the United States’ and United Nations’ forces during the Korean War. Through his example, they will learn how they can use courage in their own lives to accomplish their purpose. OBJECTIVES • Students will analyze General Matthew Ridgway’s performance during the Korean War. • Students will understand how to use courage to accomplish their purpose. • Students will apply their knowledge of courage to their own lives. BACKGROUND The Korean War was an outgrowth of an unstable situation on the Korean Peninsula at the conclusion of the Second World War. In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on the Empire of Japan. With the endorsement of the United States, Soviet forces seized land in the northern part of the peninsula, stopping at the 38th Parallel. The United States then occupied the southern half. Two different political regimes with opposing views emerged from this situation, creating the perfect recipe for conflict. War broke out in June 1950. North Korea, hoping to assert its dominance over the entire peninsula, invaded South Korea and made quick progress. South Korea, supported by United States and United https://voicesofhistory.org BACKGROUND Nations forces, fell back around the port city of Pusan.
