Here we are already at the February edition of Wings of Destiny Magazine. The magazine starts with a visit to the brigade from Vice Chief of Staff GEN Richard Cody in which he re-enlisted numerous Soldiers and visited his sons in 1st Battalion, Tyler and Clint. Among the big news in 5th Battalion, CW3 Merle Goodall was named this year’s winner of the Military Suggestion of the Year. His idea to improve a piece of navigational equipment earned him $5,000, and looks to save the Army much, much more than that in the future. In 6th Battalion, we take a look at an Air Assault extraction mission, then go on patrol with the Soldiers of the 96th Aviation Support Battalion. The magazine ends with a trip to the Cav, where Kiowa pilots were recently awarded Combat Aviation Badges and fuelers respond quickly to keep the Kiowas in the fight. The mission of Wings of Destiny magazine is to cover the brigade as a whole. These stories have also been sent out to newspapers and magazines throughout Tennessee and more than 20 publications throughout the country. Below you will see the contact information for myself and SFC Antony Joseph, the brigade’s Public Affairs Officer in the event you have any questions, suggestions, or story ideas.

WINGS OF DESTINY MAGAZINE * 101ST AVIATION BRIGADE * 2 Vice Chief of Staff GEN Cody visits Speicher Story and photos by SGT Ryan Matson 101st Combat Aviation Brigade Generally speaking… GEN Richard A. Cody (center), Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army, makes a point during a meeting of key leaders of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade and 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Feb. 13 at Forward Operating Base Speicher, Iraq. FORWARD OPERATING BASE SPEICHER, IRAQ -- General Richard A. Cody, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, made a two-day visit to Forward Operating Base Speicher, Iraq, where he re-enlisted more than 100 Soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and also spent some time with his sons, both of whom are pilots with a unit he once commanded. The visit was part of a visit that included stops throughout Iraq. Cody arrived at Speicher the afternoon of Feb. 13. He first visited the Third Brigade Combat Team Rakkasans, where he re-enlisted 100 Soldiers. In fact, re-enlisting Soldiers was one of the main points of Cody’s visit, Cody said in an interview with FOX News via a satellite feed from Iraq. The interview included his sons, Clint and Tyler. “I’ve re-enlisted over 100 Soldiers today, in combat, and gave out several awards WINGS OF DESTINY MAGAZINE * 101ST AVIATION BRIGADE * 3 including about 50 Combat Action Badges, and I will tell you the Soldiers every place I go said they are proud of what they’re doing, proud of their units, and well led,” he said. “Every Soldier tells me they are in the best-equipped Army they’ve ever been in. They feel great about their training. They feel great about the American people’s support, and they believe, and I believe, that they’re winning here and they also very speak very highly about the Iraqi forces that they’re now teamed with.” Cody said the re-enlistments prove to him that the Army is as strong as ever, despite what might be sometimes said in media reports. “I’ve listened to it, and as you know, I’ve had 34 years in uniform,” Cody said. “I was in an Army that was somewhat broken coming out of the Vietnam War. This is the first time we’ve taken this all-volunteer Army – Active, Guard and Reserve – into a protracted war, and a very, very important war. I will tell you this is not a broken Army. This Army has the best leaders I’ve ever seen, much better than I was when I was a commander in combat…we’ve got some of the greatest Soldiers I’ve ever seen put on this uniform, and they are stretched but they are far from being broken.” “I wish America could see these troops, these young men and women, reenlisting for six years, knowing full well they’ll probably come Can you hear me now? back for another combat tour,” he said. “They st st know they’re making a difference and quite CPT Clint Cody, 1 Battalion, 101 frankly, in the spirit of the American Soldier they Combat Aviation Brigade, puts in earpiece for an interview with his father understand how important this war is and how GEN Richard A. Cody, the Vice Chief of important their service is. It tells me that this Staff of the Army, Feb. 13 with FOX Army is always going to be strong.” News. A special stop during the visit came when Cody visited the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. Cody’s sons are both captains serving with 1st Battalion, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, an Apache attack helicopter battalion. During the first Gulf War, Cody, then a lieutenant colonel, commanded 1st Battalion, the battalion his sons now fly in. In fact Cody fired the first shot of the Gulf War as commander of 1st Battalion, taking out a radar tower with a hellfire missile fired from the Apache helicopter “Rigormortis,” a helicopter he has been known to fly when visiting the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell. Cody later went on to command the entire 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, as well as the 101st Airborne Division. Clint and Tyler already have five combat tours as Apache pilots between them. Cody says he is proud his sons have been able to follow in his footsteps. “I am absolutely proud of these two great captains, just as I am proud of all of these American Soldiers that are over here serving,” Cody said. “My days of being in the field are somewhat over, you see me in the halls of the Pentagon. Just like any father, I worry WINGS OF DESTINY MAGAZINE * 101ST AVIATION BRIGADE * 4 about them. But I know they’re in a great outfit. Their battalion commander, LTC Doug Gabram, was a company commander for me during the first Gulf War. I also know they’re with great Soldiers and great warrant officers, so though I worry about them, I know they’re well led and with five combat tours between them, they’re experienced.” Following the television interview, Cody spoke with key leaders from throughout the 101st Airborne Division and 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, and entertained their questions as well. Cody wrapped up his visit the morning of Feb. 14 with another re-enlistment ceremony in which he re-enlisted 33 more Soldiers, 23 of whom were from his old unit, the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. The 101st Combat Aviation Brigade had the first two units in the 101st Airborne Division to meet re-enlistment quotas. 1st Battalion, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade was the first, followed by 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment. After re-enlisting the Soldiers, Cody took some time to speak and joke with each one and allow them a chance to get a photo and give them a coin. One Soldier told him he was re-enlisting as an air conditioning repairman. “You are going to have a lot of friends here in a few months,” Cody told the Soldier. Before the ceremony, he joked to the crowd, “Do they know that when the Vice Chief re- enlists them, they re-enlist for an automatic six years, no matter what it says on their contract?” Following the final re-enlistment ceremony, Cody toured the division headquarters and spent some final time with his sons in the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade area before departing. Taking the oath GEN Richard A. Cody (right), Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army, reads a group of 33 re- enlistees (including 22 from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade) their oath of re-enlistment during a ceremony the morning of Feb. 14 at Forward Operating Base Speicher, Iraq.

  • The Officer at Work: Leadership
    CHAPTER FIVE The Officer at Work: Leadership . before it is an honor, leadership is trust; Before it is a call to glory, Leadership is a call to service; . before all else, forever and always, leadership is a willingness to serve. —Father Edson Wood, OSA, Cadet Catholic Chaplain Invocation at Assumption of Command by BG Curtis Scaparrotti, Commandant of Cadets, U.S. Military Academy August 11, 2004 Leadership—convincing others to collaborate effectively in a common endeavor—is the primary function of all Armed Forces officers. Only a few officers are commanders at any particular moment, but every officer is a leader. Indeed the Army and Marine Corps insist that lead- ership is the common responsibility of every Soldier and Marine.1 The Air Force says “Any Airman can be a leader and can positively influ- ence those around him or her to accomplish the mission.”2 A conse- quence is that almost every officer considers himself or herself good at leadership, but perspectives on method differ depending on individual circumstances and experiences. This chapter discusses leadership from four different but overlapping viewpoints: accomplishing the mission and taking care of the troops; three concepts of leadership; Service approaches; and “tribal wisdom,” views of leadership expressed by senior professionals. 57 Accomplishing the Mission and Taking Care of the Troops Leaders are expected to guide their followers to mission success at least possible cost. Lord Moran, who served as a medical officer on the Western Front in World War I, and was Churchill’s doctor and con- fidant in World War II, defined leadership as “the capacity to frame plans which will succeed and the faculty of persuading others to carry them out in the face of death.”3 Moran was skeptical of a requirement for fine character, the honorable virtues, in a leader, but found that a reputation for achieving success was the essential middle term between the ability to formulate a course of action and persuading others to implement it.

  • Army Manpower and the War on Terror
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Working Paper Series Army Manpower and the War on Terror by Kevin Ryan Shorenstein Fellow, Fall 2005 Brigadier General, United States Army (ret.) #2006-2 © 2006 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Army Manpower and the War on Terror by Kevin T. Ryani Abstract ___________________________________________________________________________ Army manpower is a key factor in the military’s ability to fight the War on Terror, which includes sustaining the combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet manpower is a subject that is often misunderstood and misreported. How does the status of Army manpower affect the nation’s War on Terror? What if the manpower demands of concurrent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have sapped the country’s ability to deploy to the next hotspot on the globe? What if recruiting shortfalls leave combat units only half filled? What if frequent deployments for long periods cause professional soldiers to leave the service? And what if the demands of mobilization on the Reserve and Guard mean that those forces are used up and unavailable for a new contingency not yet on the radar? Debating the pros and cons of intervening in Syria, Darfur, and Iran, or even a prolonged presence in Iraq is nothing more than an academic exercise if no troops are available for the operation. This paper provides background material on Army manpower that is meant to inform journalists who might cover the issue. _____________________________________________________________________________ Biographical Note: General Kevin T. Ryan has supervised U.S. government security programs with various foreign militaries and served in Germany, Russia, and Korea.

CODY DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, G-3 UNITED STATES ARMY BEFORE THE TACTICAL AIRLAND SUBCOMMITTEE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE UNITED STATES SENATE ON UNITED STATES ARMY AVIATION SECOND SESSION, 108TH CONGRESS MARCH 30, 2004 STATEMENT BY LTG RICHARD A. CODY DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, G-3 UNITED STATES ARMY INTRODUCTION Chairman Sessions, Senator Lieberman, distinguished members of the committee, we appreciate the opportunity to appear here today to provide an update on the state of Army Aviation and how we intend to continue meeting current operational requirements while we also prepare for the future. We are witnessing historic times in our Army and our Aviation Force. As a former Division Commander for the 101st Air Assault Division and now as Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3, I can testify that our Army in general, and our aviation leaders and Soldiers are well-trained, ready, and committed. I thank this committee for your resolute support, concern, and faith in America’s sons and daughters, who serve our Army and our nation. I believe you all would agree that while aviation hardware and other systems are vital components of our nation’s defense, our most precious and irreplaceable assets are the great Americans operating and repairing them. GEN Peter Schoomaker, Chief of Staff, Army (CSA), directed a top-to- bottom review of Army Aviation in August of last year. The Chief’s guidance was to make Army Aviation a capabilities-based maneuver arm optimized for the joint fight with a shortened logistics tail. An Aviation Task Force was formed with a select group of aviation professionals under the leadership of MG James Thurman, Aviation Task Force Director; MG Joseph Bergantz, PEO-Aviation; and 2 BG Edward J.

  • A Brief History of the Army Values (As Of: 1 Oct 18)
    A Brief History of the Army Values (as of: 1 Oct 18) [T]he most important constant of all-Army values. We must never be complacent about the role of values in our Army. That is why we have made a concerted effort to specify and define the Army values…. Army values are thoroughly consistent with the values of American society. General Dennis Reimer, 33rd Chief of Staff of the Army1 Background The US Army, as America’s land force, promotes national values while defending our national interest. Since its inception in 1775, the US Army has endeavored to instill values within the members of the Army Profession. Guidance from civil authority and military leaders, whether based upon general principle or in response to ethical failures, has attempted to influence both individual and collective values. Through the propagation of laws, codes, regulation, and doctrine they have shaped our shared identity as Army professionals. Beginning in 1981 and clarified in 2012, Army doctrine recognized that the Army Ethic is informed by law, Army Values, beliefs expressed in codes and creeds, and is embedded within our unique Army culture of trust. The moral principles of the Army Ethic and the Army Values inherent within it have always existed and been a point of discussion and honor among the members of the profession. Over the years the Army has repeatedly examined and articulated our individual and institutional values as Army professionals, and we have also continually reviewed and reconsidered our stated and operational values as a profession. This evolving effort continues today. For background on the Army’s past efforts and the evolution of values, our ethic, and character development, please see Information Paper – Analysis of Army’s Past Character Development Efforts – 17 Oct 2016.
