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.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
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.”

Dedicated to RAF Coastal Command
A relief carving in light grey Carrara marble depicts the sky and sea, with the sky overlaying an outline of the world set above a breaking sea and separated by a horizon line (of great importance to flyers). An eagle at top left symbolises mastery of the skies. Cut in the wall below is the badge of Coastal Command and motto "Constant Endeavour" with the inscription:
Remember the sacrifice & constant endeavour in defence of freedom of the men and women of Royal Air Force Coastal Command, their successors & their comrades in the Commonwealth, Allied and overseas squadrons
The memorial was carved by Neil and Richard Talbot and the artistic adviser was Sir Philip Dowson of the Maritime Air Trust. The span is approximately eight feet. A roll of honour is displayed in a case in the nave of the Abbey.
It was unveiled to mark the 60th anniversary in 2003 of the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War. Just over half of the sinkings of German U-boats were due to Coastal Command and it located the battleship Bismarck which was then sunk by the Royal Navy. Photo-reconnaissance and meteorological flights were also an important part of their role as well as air-sea rescue. Their zone of operations was vast, from Iceland to Gibraltar and the Azores as well as other overseas commands from the Arctic to the southern oceans. Four Victoria Crosses were won by aircrew and 10,875 lives were lost. Since the Second World War Coastal Command and its successor formations have operated in conflicts in Korea, Malaysia, the Falklands and the Gulf.
[Westminster Abbey]
In the South Cloister of Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey (The Collegiate Church of St Peter)
In the 1040s King Edward (later St Edward the Confessor) established his royal palace by the banks of the river Thames on land known as Thorney Island. Close by was a small Benedictine monastery founded under the patronage of King Edgar and St Dunstan around 960A.D. This monastery Edward chose to re-endow and greatly enlarge, building a large stone church in honour of St Peter the Apostle. This church became known as the "west minster" to distinguish it from St Paul's Cathedral (the east minster) in the City of London. Unfortunately, when the new church was consecrated on 28th December 1065 the King was too ill to attend and died a few days later. His mortal remains were entombed in front of the High Altar.
The only traces of Edward's monastery to be seen today are in the round arches and massive supporting columns of the undercroft and the Pyx Chamber in the cloisters. The undercroft was originally part of the domestic quarters of the monks. Among the most significant ceremonies that occurred in the Abbey at this period was the coronation of William the Conqueror on Christmas day 1066, and the "translation" or moving of King Edward's body to a new tomb a few years after his canonisation in 1161.
Edward's Abbey survived for two centuries until the middle of the 13th century when King Henry III decided to rebuild it in the new Gothic style of architecture. It was a great age for cathedrals: in France it saw the construction of Amiens, Evreux and Chartres and in England Canterbury, Winchester and Salisbury, to mention a few. Under the decree of the King of England, Westminster Abbey was designed to be not only a great monastery and place of worship, but also a place for the coronation and burial of monarchs. This church was consecrated on 13th October 1269. Unfortunately the king died before the nave could be completed so the older structure stood attached to the Gothic building for many years.
Every monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned in the Abbey, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII (who abdicated) who were never crowned. The ancient Coronation Chair can still be seen in the church.
It was natural that Henry III should wish to translate the body of the saintly Edward the Confessor into a more magnificent tomb behind the High Altar in his new church. This shrine survives and around it are buried a cluster of medieval kings and their consorts including Henry III, Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, Richard II and Anne of Bohemia and Henry V.
There are around 3,300 burials in the church and cloisters and many more memorials. The Abbey also contains over 600 monuments, and wall tablets – the most important collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the country. Notable among the burials is the Unknown Warrior, whose grave, close to the west door, has become a place of pilgrimage. Heads of State who are visiting the country invariably come to lay a wreath at this grave.
A remarkable new addition to the Abbey was the glorious Lady chapel built by King Henry VII, first of the Tudor monarchs, which now bears his name. This has a spectacular fan-vaulted roof and the craftsmanship of Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano can be seen in Henry's fine tomb. The chapel was consecrated on 19th February 1516. Since 1725 it has been associated with the Most Honourable Order of the Bath and the banners of the current Knights Grand Cross surround the walls. The Battle of Britain memorial window by Hugh Easton can be seen at the east end in the Royal Air Force chapel. A new stained glass window above this, by Alan Younger, and two flanking windows with a design in blue by Hughie O'Donoghue, give colour to this chapel.
Two centuries later a further addition was made to the Abbey when the western towers (left unfinished from medieval times) were completed in 1745, to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Little remains of the original medieval stained glass, once one of the Abbey's chief glories. Some 13th century panels can be seen in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries. The great west window and the rose window in the north transept date from the early 18th century but the remainder of the glass is from the 19th century onwards. The newest stained glass is in The Queen Elizabeth II window, designed by David Hockney.
History did not cease with the dissolution of the medieval monastery on 16th January 1540. The same year Henry VIII erected Westminster into a cathedral church with a bishop (Thomas Thirlby), a dean and twelve prebendaries (now known as Canons). The bishopric was surrendered on 29th March 1550 and the diocese was re-united with London, Westminster being made by Act of Parliament a cathedral church in the diocese of London. Mary I restored the Benedictine monastery in 1556 under Abbot John Feckenham.
But on the accession of Elizabeth I the religious houses revived by Mary were given by Parliament to the Crown and the Abbot and monks were removed in July 1559. Queen Elizabeth I, buried in the north aisle of Henry VII's chapel, refounded the Abbey by a charter dated 21 May 1560 as a Collegiate Church exempt from the jurisdiction of archbishops and bishops and with the Sovereign as its Visitor. Its Royal Peculiar status from 1534 was re-affirmed by the Queen and In place of the monastic community a collegiate body of a dean and prebendaries, minor canons and a lay staff was established and charged with the task of continuing the tradition of daily worship (for which a musical foundation of choristers, singing men and organist was provided) and with the education of forty Scholars who formed the nucleus of what is now Westminster School (one of the country's leading independent schools). In addition the Dean and Chapter were responsible for much of the civil government of Westminster, a role which was only fully relinquished in the early 20th century.

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.

SDPD recently received 5 new command vehicles, two of them are pictured here. They replaced very old semi-tractor trailer rigs that are now retired (thankfully, those old things were really bad). Some of the next shots are of the interiors, and of a third vehicle.

So I did the switch to Mac a few months ago, and I'm loving it. Here's a macro shot of the backlit Apple Command Key (Macbook Pro keyboard).
Photographed with the Canon 85mm f/1.8 and 68mm of extension tubes (Kenko). As for lighting, I used the big living-room window, and it was cloudy outside.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hundreds of service members and veterans accompanied by their friends and loved ones gathered at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando Dec. 16, 2017 to celebrate the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)’s inaugural Maj. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat Victory Ball.
Previously dubbed the Lt. Gen. (Retired) Jack C. Stultz Military Ball, Stultz and the 143d ESC command team agreed to rename the ball in honor of Espaillat, a former 143d ESC commanding general who passed away April 8 while assigned as general officer support for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
“Espaillat was a friend, leader and inspiration to us all,” said Brig. Deborah L. Kotulich, commanding general, 143d ESC. “We are honored that his family accepted our invitation to join us as we dedicate this evening to a fine Soldier, model citizen and loving father who served his adopted nation with distinction for nearly 35 years.”
The Ball featured several distinguished guests to include Kotulich and Command Sgt. Maj. Carlos Lopes, command sergeant major, 143d ESC. Seated next to them was Maj. Gen. Steven W. Ainsworth, commanding general, 377th Theater Sustainment Command.
The evening presented a unique opportunity for Soldiers and civilian employees assigned throughout the Command’s vast area of operations don their suits, gowns or dress uniforms and surround themselves with new and familiar faces in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The guests upheld American military tradition by conducting classic ceremonial functions such as the presentation of the colors, singing the national anthem, and offering toasts dedicated to the Soldiers, families and fallen heroes of the United States Army.
Pride and patriotism gave way to somber reflection when a spotlight pierced the dim ballroom to illuminate a small candlelight dinner table that epitomized all American prisoners of war as well as the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Lopes concluded the melancholy affair when he silently marched to the table of Margaret Good Espaillat, widow of the late Francisco Espaillat. Lopes led the Gold Star Mother to the POW and Fallen Soldier Table where together they lit the lone candle that would flicker brightly for the remainder of the evening.
Ainsworth and Kotulich took their turns at the podium to express their gratitude to the people who planned, organized, sponsored and supported the event. The commanding generals also commended their guests for their service, support and sacrifice as the 143d ESC prepares for next year’s deployment.
“All of us look up to someone, and someone always looks up to us,” said Ainsworth. “Your words and actions can very well change the course of another’s life. Demonstrate the qualities that you expect from your mentors, and take the time to ‘take a knee’ by spending quality time with your friends and family. Without their love and support, the Army Reserve would simply cease to exist.”
The Ball officially concluded with a hardy rendition of the Army Song and a rhythmic performance of the “Atropia Rap,” an original ballad penned by the command’s support operations team during an intense, three-week training exercise at Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pa. The departure of the official party did not deter many guests from remaining in the ballroom to take photos, show off their favorite dance moves, or share fond memories with old friends while sipping their favorite beverage.
“This event personifies the 143d ESC,” said Kotulich. “This command is more than a premiere logistics unit. It’s a community of caring individuals dedicated to the success of its Soldiers and their families.”
