Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa

 

10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs

 

VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.

 

Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.

 

Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.

 

“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”

 

Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.

 

Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.

 

“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”

 

Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.

 

“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

CAMP SAMOUD, Kuwait – Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) raced against the clock as they ran, jumped, climbed and waded their way through an obstacle course at the Kuwait National Guard’s headquarters in Camp Samoud, Kuwait.

The Dec. 18 competition featured two six-man teams from the 143d ESC and six teams from the Kuwait National Guard. Soldiers from both nationalities donned helmets and slung M4 carbines around their backs.

 

The war fighting equipment added an extra layer of complexity and realism as the men navigated through the quarter-mile path lined with logs, walls, ropes, ladders, monkey bars and a shallow pool.

 

The 143d ESC led the way when one of its teams volunteered to attack the course first. The six Soldiers set the pace for their Kuwaiti counterparts with a time of 3 minutes, 16 seconds. The second team brought the inaugural event to a close when its fifth man crossed the finish line at 4 minutes, 20 seconds.

 

Regardless when and how he crossed the finished line, every American Soldier received a gift bag courtesy of the Kuwait National Guard.

 

The race sprouted from the collaborative partnership between the 143d ESC’s civil affairs section and the Kuwait National Guard’s special event coordinators. Both parties plan to host a variety of contests between the Kuwaitis and the U.S. military to include team sports, physical fitness challenges and shooting competitions.

TOKYO – When Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette assumed command of U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) July 8, 2015, he immediately took initiative to personally meet the troops under his command as well as key leaders from his host nation partners.

 

Pasquarette's tour of his area of responsibility began in earnest when he and members of his staff boarded a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter July 10 from Camp Zama, Japan. Flying hundreds of feet above the congested highways at sometimes at level with Japan's sea of skyscrapers, Pasquarette acquired a bird's eye view of the American and Japanese military installations scattered among the urban jungle.

 

“We overflew Sagami General Depot, Yokohama North Dock and Hardy Barracks, said Milton Jackson, garrison manager at Camp Zama. “Our new commander now has clearer picture of the facilities, equipment and watercraft managed by the Army, and he can better understand where and how these individual installations interact with one another.”

 

According to Jackson, the USARJ primary mission comprises the rapid deployment of troops and materiel from one theater to another. As the Army's largest logistical hub in Asia, the command must maintain a streamlined sustainment system capable of moving thousands of tons of supplies and equipment via land and sea.

 

“Sagami Depot has rolling stock and Yokohama North Dock has watercraft,” said Jackson. “We must overcome the challenges posed by Japan's dense population centers by developing methods that rapidly move and load stock onto our watercraft so that we may better project our presence in the Pacific. Fortunately, our Japanese allies are willing to support us if a major threat or disaster called for a sudden mass movement.”

 

After a brief stop at Yokota Air Base to meet with Air Force Gen. John L. Dolan, commanding general, U.S. Force Japan, Pasquarette touched down near the heart of Tokyo where members of America's staunchest allies welcomed him with the pomp and circumstance befitting a general.

 

“On behalf of the JGSDF (Japan Ground Self-Defense Force), welcome to Japan,” said Gen. Kiyofumi Iwata, chief of staff, JGSDF, to Pasquarette after the two commanders sat in a decorative conference room inside Japan's Ministry of Defense. “We look forward to continuing our dialog of bilateral coordination between our two countries as JGSDF pursues its transformation into a dynamic joint defense force.”

 

The dialog consisted of one-on-one conversations with not only Iwata but also Adm. Katsutoshi Kawano, chief of staff, Japan Self-Defense Force, and Hideshi Tokuchi, vice minister of international affairs, Japan Ministry of Defense. The four men discussed previous achievements, current operations and potential challenges facing their respective commands and presented ideas on how to strengthen interoperability among their forces through combined training exercises and expanded service member exchange programs.

 

“We currently have several dozen JSDF service members embedded with [U.S. military] units,” said Pasquarette. “I believe extending this program so that our Soldiers can work within the JGSDF will further enhance our partnership.”

 

Pasquarette also ensured his hosts that the United States Army remains committed to its allies in the Pacific despite looming force reductions and ongoing operations in Europe and the Middle East.

 

“The Army recently announced that it will cut the number of troops in the active component from 450,000 to about 410,000,” said Pasquarette. “This rebalance of the force has no effect on our strength and readiness in the Pacific. Our alliance is more important than ever. That's why we're keeping our best trained and best equipped Soldiers in Japan and Korea.”

 

After a two-hour visit that started with with a JSDF band playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and ended with a warm exchange of plaques and handshakes, Pasquarette and his team boarded a helicopter bound for Camp Zama.

 

“I have worked extensively throughout the Pacific during my Army career,” said the former armor officer and chief of staff of U.S. Army Pacific. “The JSDF consists of some of the world's most capable and professional men and women in uniform. I look forward to building stronger relationships with them and become a valuable partner in its transformation."

ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.

 

In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.

 

Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.

 

The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.

 

Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) Command Sergeant Major Hu Rhodes and delegation attended an NCO Senior Leader Visit in South Africa to meet with the South African Land Forces Senior Chief Warrant Officer (SCWO) Mothusi Victor Kgaladi and South African Army Staff recently.

 

Soldiers gathered together to enhance senior NCO relationships between Active and Reserve Senior Chief Warrant Officers and included tours of the Armor, Airborne and Artillery regiments.

 

“Since I am just starting my tenure as the USARAF CSM, this was the perfect time to put a personal side to a professional relationship,” Rhodes said.

 

Rhodes reported that no amount of reading or study or second-hand explanation can replace meeting someone in person.

 

“We had opportunity to share serious concerns as well as share in laughter during the visit,” Rhodes said. “They know we care about our relationship with them, and we know they care about their relationship with us,” he said.

 

Rhodes walked away with many valuable insights, in particular knowing the commands will work together better because of this visit.

 

“I appreciate good Soldiers, and these were good Soldiers - from bottom to top,” the USARAF CSM emphasized. “They have a solid professional base and an obvious love of country that inspired me -- I look forward to our continued friendship,” he said.

The patient is a Chadian soldier who underwent a procedure to repair his tibia, which was fractured when he suffered a gunshot wound to the lower left leg. Monje, a Lubbock, Texas, native came to Chad as part of a team of U.S. military medical professionals participating in Medical Readiness and Training Exercise 15-3 known as MEDRETE 15-3. The exercise is a joint effort between the Chadian government, U.S. Army Africa, the Army Reserve Medical Command, and the 7th Civil Support Command. MEDRETE 15-3 serves as an opportunity for U.S. and Chadian forces to hone and strengthen their life saving skills as well as reinforce the partnership between both countries.

After upgrading and organizing I was able to really gain control of my physical desktop. I still need to work on the wires, but it's a great start.

 

I don't have all of my apps open at the moment, but typically I have Thunderbird open for email, and Firefox with a bunch of tabs to Google Reader, wikipedia, and Google Calendar.

 

The desk is really old and used to be my grandparents'. It's solid wood and incredibly heavy. I like it, but find it to be a little small.

 

Recent additions include a Microsoft Lifecam that I still need to get to work properly.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.

 

In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.

 

Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.

 

The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.

 

Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

Fourth of July Celebrated

 

By Cpl. Han, Jae-ho

USAG Humphreys Public Affairs

 

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The 236th anniversary of the United States’ Independence was celebrated, here, July 4 with various events, including Fun Runs, softball, eating contests, dj music and band performances and fireworks, at Soldier’s Field.

 

Giant slides, mini playground rides and a dunk tank were available on the field to provide entertainment to visitors, and foods and beverages were also on sale.

 

According to Paul Parrish, the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation special events coordinator, who began preparations for this event months ago, “this event couldn’t happen without the many Soldiers and Family members who volunteer their time. For people to be able to come and have a good time, someone has to volunteer their time to help make it happen.”

 

“It is great to be a volunteer and support the community,” said Staff Sgt. Robert Ogg, [DO YOU HAVE HIS UNIT?] a volunteer at the event. “It is awesome for Camp Humphreys to host an even to celebrate Independence Day, and I am honored to participate in it.”

 

The event also featured hot dog, watermelon and pie eating contests, and winners were presented with iPod Touch and iPod Nano for showing off their eating capacity.

 

“I feel good, had my lunch for today,” said Spc. Robert Ribaudo, [UNIT?] who ate 10 hotdogs in 8 minutes to win the hot dog eating contest event.

 

The winner of the chocolate cream pie eating contest, Pfc. Jacob Ferencz [UNIT?] said that “I felt bad for other participants because they had no chance (against him).”

 

The celebration concluded with musical performances by the Armed Forces Entertainment band “Anchored,” and fireworks, that lit up the sky of Pyeongtaek for about 20 minutes.

 

“They had a good set up for the family today,” said Staff Sgt. Champhonsak Vongphachanh, of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys. “It was a good day to come out with the family and enjoy the day.”

"On January 25th, 2012 at 1000 hours, a pickup truck drives off the roadway on Barber Court (Milpitas) and impacts the PG&E pipeline control valve. The impact causes an immediate natural gas release at very high pressure. The two occupants of the vehicle are injured but able to extricate themselves from the vehicle. They remain on the sidewalk about 100 feet away from their vehicle. Multiple calls start coming into the 911 Communications Center indicating they hear a loud noise and a strong smell of natural gas."

 

So says the exercise plan for a multi agency drill in Milpitas today. Milpitas Fire, Police and Public Works, CHP, PG&E and County EMS participated in the drill, designed to simulae a gas main break with a 35" pipeline running at 600psi.

 

Incident Command included the Milpitas Fire Department Command Unit, and PG&E's Freightliner Sprinter Mobile Command rig.
