Juan Bautista de Anza Trail, Pismo Beach, CA
In 1775, on the eve of the American Revolution, Lt. Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza led more than 240 men, women, and children on an epic journey across the frontier of New Spain to establish a settlement at San Francisco Bay.
San Luis Obispo:
Continuing north from Santa Barbara, Anza and his colonists passed dunes near Pismo beach, and continued along the coast for several miles before turning inland at Price Canyon, finally reaching the Mission San Luis Obispo. While there, an Indian boy was baptized, with Anza serving as his godfather. Upon leaving, they followed San Luis Creek to the top of the Cuesta Grade, descended to the Salinas River and crossed it.
Pismo Beach - Expedition Camp #81
On the coast to the north, but part of the same sand dunes, is Pismo State Beach and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. The city names Nipomo and Pismo are Chumash words. The site of the Chumash village of El Buchón is located in Price Canyon, and it was at this village that camp was made on March 1. Nearby, the Price House grounds preserve several buildings of John Michael Price's Rancho Pismo in Price Canyon.

Juan Bautista de Anza was charged to take an expedition of settlers over the newly opened route to establish both a presidio and a mission in the area of San Francisco bay. Thus, in March of 1775, Juan Bautista de Anza assumed the responsibility of recruiting families and organizing supplies for the first colonizing expedition to northern California. After numerous months spent preparing the newly recruited families for the arduous journey and delays due to Apache raids on the expedition's horses; Anza, a small military escort, and approximately 240 men, women and children left Tubac on October 23, 1775. For nearly five months they traveled by horseback, mule, and on foot; arriving at the Presidio of Monte Rey on March 10, 1776.
The trip had often been difficult and the colonists had endured lack of water and food, life threatening weather conditions, debilitated and dying animals, and roads that often seemed impassable due to rain, mud, sand or snow. At least twice the expedition was hampered by desertion of servants or military personnel. Nonetheless, only one woman died (due to childbirth complications) and four babies had been born. Without the help of Native American tribes they met along the way, the expedition may not have been so successful. In June of 1776, the colonists, led by Anza's second in command Lieutenant José Joaquin Moraga, were given permission to continue their journey to the bay of San Francisco and build there the presidio and mission for which the colonists had left their homeland.

Diary of Pedro Font:
This order was communicated to the reverend father guardian of the College of Santa Cruz, Fray Romnaldo Cartagena, in a letter written to him under date of January 2, 1775, and was transmitted to me by the same reverend father guardian in a letter which he wrote to me on January 20 of the same year of 1775. He charged me to make the whole journey, going and coming, to accompany Señor Don Juan Bautista de Anza, Lieutenant colonel of Cavalry and Captain of the royal presidio of Tubac Commander of this expedition and of the second journey made by him to the port of Monterey by way of the Colorado River, to escort some families with whom to occupy and settle the port of San Francisco, I to serve as chaplain of the expedition and of the people, with the added duty of observing the latitudes and directions on the way, it having been decided thus in Mexico in the royal council of war and exchequer.
PALM BAY, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) welcomed thousands of participants and spectators to the 2016 Tough Mudder Challenge Nov. 5, 2016, in Palm Bay, Fla.
Hailing from the Headquarters and Headquarters Company and the 196th Transportation in Company in Orlando, the troops inspired challengers to complete an 11-mile course lined with more than 20 obstacles that tested individual strength, stamina and resiliency in a team-building atmosphere. Their interactive engagements among typically young, athletic and energetic individuals help bolster recruitment initiatives orchestrated by the Army Marketing Research Group.
As dawn’s sunlight pierced through palm trees to illuminate The Compound, an undeveloped patch of Palm Bay made popular by paint ball players, off-road riders and remote control plane enthusiasts, the 143rd ESC Soldiers took their posts near the registration tables to greet their colorfully dressed guests and distribute eye blacks emblazoned with the U.S. Army logo.
While the competitors affixed their complimentary glare reduction stickers to their faces, the troops gathered at the starting line to cheer the first wave of veteran Tough Mudders eager to enter the gauntlet. The thousands of high fives, hundreds of handshakes and dozens of fist pumps exchanged between the Soldiers and competitors climaxed with an emotional rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner performed by Sgt. 1st Class Randall B. Wight, a vocalist from the U.S. Army Field Band. As Wight blared the last note, the competitors yelled a defying, “Hooah,” before charging across the starting line to commence their 11-mile trek strewn with uniquely designed obstacles boasting mud, ropes, slides, tunnels and even live electrical wires.
Some Soldiers stood fast at the starting line to cheer on the continuous waves of competitors, while others boarded Gator all-terrain vehicle bound for the Berlin Wall, an Army Reserve sponsored obstacle erected near the 9-mile marker. The Wall lived up to its name with two, 10-foot high wooden structures designed to reinforce teamwork rather than bolster brute force. One by one, the Soldiers encouraged hundreds of exhausted Tough Mudders to help their fellow competitors climb over the slippery incline. Several troops even inspired some participants to perform pushups before and after their encounter with the Berlin Wall.
The positive interactions between the 143rd ESC Soldiers and their gritty guests enticed hundreds of Tough Mudders to visit the Go Army Reserve interactive display. Many tapped into their nearly sapped strength and stamina to complete a fitness challenge that comprised pushups, pull-ups and a sled pull. The fitness challenge also opened opportunities for U.S. Army Reserve recruiters to speak with Tough Mudders who expressed interest in pushing their mental and physical limits while serving their country.
The 143rd ESC will return to The Compound for the second and final day of the Tough Mudder Challenge to continue motivate, congratulate and educate the Tough Mudder community.

This rudimentary defensive position may have served as the command bunker for a battery of anti-aircraft guns in this location. It it sited near the highest point, in close proximity to one of the Rh-202 guns still in situ (presumed to be close to the original position) and would have been large enough for the compliment of command and signals staff required. It is larger than the standard single or two-man positions found elsewhere.
FORT HOOD, Texas – More than 150 Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) set foot on American soil after more than nine months conducting sustainment operations throughout Southwest Asia in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Distinguished visitors such as Maj. Gen. Peter S. Lennon, commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, and local celebrities like Elizabeth Laird, Fort Hood's “Hug Lady,” welcomed the troops as they disembarked an Omni International Boeing 777-200ER commercial jetliner and entered the military passenger terminal at Killeen/Fort Hood Regional Airport on that unusually cool May 14 morning.
During his welcome brief Lennon complimented on the 143d ESC's ability to overcome numerous challenges and complete a complex operation that required the coordination of dozens of units conducting various missions in Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, Romania and Kyrgyzstan. He also expressed his gratitude for the cooperation that solidified between the unit's cross level Soldiers and those troops organic to the 143d ESC. Lennon concluded his speech by presenting nearly a dozen Soldiers with his unit's signature coin.
Later that day Soldiers from the 143d ESC's rear detachment in Orlando, Fla., hosted a Welcome Home Warrior Citizen Ceremony at South Fort Hood. The group presented their deployed counterparts with a “Welcome Home Warrior Citizen” coin, flag, lapel pins as well as an encased American flag.
The 143d ESC rear detachment will continue supporting their redeployed comrades as they complete the demobilization process at Fort Hood and return home to their friends and loved ones later this month.
The 143d ESC stands as the last command of its kind to deploy to a combat zone. It currently has command and control of more than 10,000 Soldiers hailing from 92 units across seven Southeast states.

Construction of the new home of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command at Ft. Sam Houston is on track, with the first move-in of 50 employees on track to start June 21. Fifty employees will move to the new
building every day. The first floor is nearly complete and has been outfitted with carpet, cubicles and furniture.
Some new features to look forward to:
- Cubicles are 6x9 feet, three feet longer than those at the leased space. Upgrades include a wardrobe closet and more shelves for storage.
- Cubicles will be set up with lights and data support and will be ready for immediate laptop plug-in.
- Indirect fluorescent lighting reflects off white ceiling, reducing glare (and headaches).
- Windows along the perimeter hallways provide natural sunlight.
- Division chiefs will have private or semi-private offices. Semi-private offices have sliding frosted glass doors for privacy.
- As available, branch chiefs will have semi-private offices.
- There are more meeting space options than available in the leased space. The building has a total of 36 conference rooms of various sizes. Also, open-air "collaboration areas" are dispersed throughout each wing for meetings/production space.
- Each floor has two break rooms, with two refrigerators and two microwaves. AAFES will provide vending machines
- Each floor's accent walls are painted a different color; the first is red, second is green and third is blue.
- Native Texas grass, trees and plants surround shaded outdoor seating areas.
- Parking on three sides of the building allows for approximately 2,100
spaces to accommodate government personnel in the campus area. Handicapped-accessible spaces are provided in all the parking areas.
- Based on a recent personnel poll, the food court (directly off the north lobby on the first floor) will have an Einstein Bagel shop and a Subway sandwich shop.
- The IMCOM crest is inlaid into terrazzo tile in both main lobbies (north and south). The north entryway has black tile and the south is white, to help guests remember which entrance they came through.
- "Quiet" rooms will be provided on each floor.
- An "Effects" room will be provided adjacent to the Command Suite. This will provide a meeting and work space for special work groups, tiger teams,
and task forces.
- The primary visitor entrance will be the south entrance lobby and includes a reception desk.
- VIP guests will have direct access from the first to the third floor from a separate west entrance.
The move from the leased space will be completed by the end of July. The IMCOM Campus remains on schedule to be completed by the Sept. 15 BRAC deadline.
