Change of Command Ceremony - United States Army Africa - 10 June 2010 by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa

www.usaraf.army.mil

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.”

Fully redesigned by late AMC design chief Richard A. "Dick" Teague for the 1964 model year by shortening the 1963 Classic unit body shell and platform, the compact Rambler American continued into 1965 with modest running changes, most notably a new grille.

Rambler Americans came in 220 (base), 330 (midlevel) and 440 (premium) series with a 440H (later renamed Rogue) 2-door hardtop as a top line sports model. Sedans (4-door) were available in all series, 2-door sedans and 4-door wagons in 220/330 series and 2-door hardtop and convertible 440 only. The 196 six (in its final year) was standard on the Rambler American with a L-head cast iron block (90 HP) or overhead valve (125 HP), the latter standard on 440 and 440H. The new AMC "Torque Command" small block six in 232 form (155 HP) was optional on the American with automatic only.

13,785 440 2-door hardtops were built for 1965, factory delivered retail price $2,163 (FOB Kenosha or Brampton).

While one girl works on the computer sitting in the swivel-chair, busy on device programming. Several devices are on the Frequency Modulator table, being prepared for other friends. Another girl heads to the rooftop with her cat-spray shield.

Clubhouse for some friends to keep neighborhood cats away from their hair bows & clips. You see, these aren't just ordinary hair accessories -- they're Bluetooth communication devices disguised as Fancy Hair Decorations ;-)

These friends invented the devices to be used in their neighborhood watch program -- especially next to the City they are located! They blend into everyday appearance, so no one knows they are always in communication range of a Friend.

Pesky neighborhood cats keep snatching up the devices thinking they are cat toys! We all know how cats love to play with these type of objects for hours.

These girls have a command center where they create & test the devices. There are cat deterrence gadgets at every angle: A water-spray cannon, dog-scented fur siding, entrance door waterfall mechanism, ladder with emergency hot air gun, brush and deflection mirror -- as well as a *decoy* girl always standing guard on the Rooftop!

The water-cannon has a red-light alert beacon that also alerts the friend on the Clubhouse computer inside.

The work area has a frequency modulator to activate each hair piece for a specific user.

Their Number One mission: Keep cats from destroying their stuff!

Hallelujah Night – U.S.Army Garrison Humphreys – 31 October 2012 by USAG- Humphreys

Click here to learn more about Camp Humphreys

U.S.Army photos by Victoria Choi

USAG Humphreys Public Affairs

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The first Hallelujah Night, a community alternative to the normal activities of Halloween, took place in the Super Gym, Oct.31.

Chaplain (Maj.) John Chun, the garrison command chaplain, has had the idea to organize the Hallelujah Night for the last three years.

“Some people may not want to participate in an event with scary costumes,” he said. “This is an alternative program (Hallelujah Night) for people who want to just come and have fun with nothing scary. We were going to start something like this before, but we just didn’t have enough personnel or time. Hopefully, the next garrison chaplain will continue the tradition.”

“The main thing is to just enjoy and have fun and make sure your kids don’t eat too many candies,” Chun said to those who attended the event.

Instead of scary costumes, smoke effects and traditional trick-or-treat, at the Hallelujah Night kids and their parents had a peaceful atmosphere, a variety of Bible thematic activities and games with sweets and candies for prizes, free treats and the prizes for the Best Dressed Bible Character contest.

Staff Sgt. Scott Peters, assigned to 568th Medical Company, was glad to spend time with his family at the event.

“This is our first Halloween here and I’m glad they did Hallelujah Night,” he said. “I think it is really nice and the kids really like it. They have a lot of activities for them to do. They definitely should do it again. My daughter went around, did all the activities, and got her face painted so it was a lot of fun for her.”

ASCC 101 SEPTEMBER 2010 by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa

Jo Roberts, U.S. Africa Command, talks at the U. S. Army Africa ASCC 101 off-site conference in Arcugnano, Italy, Sept. 22, 2010.

U.S. Army photo by Graigg Faggionato

Recently 125 officers, noncommissioned officers and civilians from U. S. Army Africa (USARAF) gathered together at the Hotel Villa Michelangelo in Arcugnano, Italy, for a conference titled “ASCC 101.”

Formerly known as the Southern European Task Force (SETAF) before the announcement in December 2008 of its formation, USARAF has been transforming in the past 22 months from a tactical command into a strategic Army Service Component Command (ASCC), hence the title of the conference and the content of the topics under discussion over the course of the five-day gathering.

“This training gives USARAF a bigger picture of how the Army operates,” said Maj. Angel Mesa, action officer responsible for putting the training together.

Mesa brought a distinguished panel of guest lecturers to the event, including Dr. (retired Col.) John A. Bonin, professor at the U.S. War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. Other speakers at the weeklong seminar included Dr. Jefferson P. Marquis and Dr. Jennifer D. Patterson-Moroney, both senior political scientists at the RAND Corporation in Arlington, Va.

“The greatest challenge of this event was finding the right speakers,” Mesa added. Attendees included USARAF Commander, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, and all of his primary staff.

Class topics included “What is an ASCC and what does it do?” “AFRICOM 101,” “Headquarters, Department of the Army 101,” and “Resourcing 101” to name a few. Each class included background explanation, detailing the responsibilities and functions that make an ASCC effective.

“All in all, I think it was great that we took the time to get the staff together and learn where we fit into the Army and the Department of Defense,” said Lt. Col. Benjamin Robertson, U.S. Army Africa Fires and Effects branch.

SETAF before December 2008 was a tactical command with a young airborne headquarters deployable throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Today, at almost four times the size of SETAF, USARAF is a strategic command with Title X responsibilities for every Soldier on the African continent, and is both geographically and functionally focused on Africa as an Army Service Component Command.

It’s a difficult transformation, considering that the “Big Army” is transforming while both the Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom campaigns are on-going. The weeklong seminar will make USARAF’s transformation an easier road to navigate, Robertson said.

The timing of this seminar was just right too, he said.

“This summer we have seen a significant number of new members join USARAF, looking to understand what an ASCC is and how it functions. Those of us who have been here a year or longer get an opportunity to align ourselves better with both AFRICOM and the U.S. Army,” Robertson said.
