I took this photo of the Bomber Command Memorial in London's Green Park on a cold winter’s late afternoon in 2016.
This memorial was a long time in the making. In the dark days of 1940 British prime minister Winston Churchill described bombers as "the means of victory", but the comfort of victory in 1945 allowed the country to acquire a conscience and Churchill never even mentioned Bomber Command in his speech at the end of the war. The controversy over the tactics employed by RAF Bomber Command meant that an official memorial to the aircrews was delayed for so many years.
The Bomber Command Memorial was designed by architect Liam O'Connor and was built using Portland stone. Within the memorial are the bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson of a Bomber Command aircrew, seven figures 9 feet tall representing the aircrew of a Bomber Command heavy bomber at the moment when they get off the aircraft and they've dumped all their heavy kit onto the ground. The space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew, although it was quite dark when I took my photo. The rendering of the sky is a powerful symbol for the memorial.
The roof incorporates sections of aluminium recovered from a Handley Page Halifax III removed from a swamp in 1997. The plane was shot down over Belgium on the night of 12 May 1944, all eight crew being killed. Three members of the crew were still at their stations when the aircraft was excavated. They were buried in Belgium with full military honours alongside the five other members of the crew.
The Bomber Command Memorial commemorates the 55,573 who died while serving in the Bomber Command during the Second World War.
So far as I know the government declined to help funding for the memorial. An appeal was made for £5.6 million to build the memorial, and funding came from donations made by the public, as well as substantial amounts from Lord Ashcroft and businessmen John Caudwell and Richard Desmond. Robin Gibb, the singer, became a key figure behind the appeal, working alongside Jim Dooley to raise funds and have the memorial built. With a lack of forthcoming funds to pay for the projected £700,000 cost of the ceremony, a number of veterans put forward their own money as security for the event, making them liable for the costs if donations did not cover the total. The Ministry of Defence drew criticism for not providing any money, in particular the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, who attended the ceremony. In October 2012 it was reported that some of the trustees of the charity set up to fund the construction and opening of the Bomber Command Memorial would be liable for a shortfall of £500,000.
The memorial was dedicated and unveiled on 28 June 2012 by Queen Elizabeth. The ceremony was attended by 6,000 veterans and family members of those killed, and the Avro Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight dropped red poppy petals over Green Park.

Kaiserslautern garrison welcomes new commander
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom grabbed hold of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s guidon Friday, accepting responsibility to provide support and services to thousands of U.S. Soldiers, civilians and family members in the Kaiserslautern area.
Zetterstrom took command of the garrison during a ceremony held at Armtstrong’s Club on Vogelweh Housing Area. Dozens of U.S. and German military officials and civilians attended the event. Zetterstrom is looking forward to his new job, he said.
“I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and professionalism of the garrison staff,” Zetterstrom said. “I look forward to working with the outstanding Soldiers and civilians of the garrison headquarters.”
The highlight of the ceremony was the traditional passing of the unit colors. Throughout history, the guidon has showed the commander is present and it served as a rally point for troops on the battlefield. Soldiers from U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment served as color bearers and color guards.
During the ceremony, both incoming and outgoing commanders offered remarks.
Lt. Col. Kevin Hutchison, who now heads to Fort Sill, Okla., for his next assignment, took time to thank garrison staff and other leaders in the Kaiserslautern Military Community. He also spoke in German to thank local officials for supporting the command. His time in command will not be forgotten, he said.
“I will miss the job, the camaraderie and the great team that we have in the Kaiserslautern garrison,” Hutchison said.
Commanding a garrison in Kaiserslautern in unique, due to its collocation with a large U.S. Air Force contingent, said Col. William Butcher, commander of United States Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg. The Kaiserslautern garrison supports dozens of tenant units, to include the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Stars and Stripes and the 357th Air and Missile Defense Detachment.
Under Hutchison, the garrison supported the deployment of 31 units from the area and the reintegration of more than 4,000 Soldiers, civilians and family members following deployments, Butcher said.
Hutchison led the garrison as the Army acquired Sembach Kaserne from the U.S. Air Force and began preparing the installation for new Army units moving from Mannheim and Heidelberg.
That included developing relationship with key German leaders in the Sembach area. During his command, the garrison underwent countless renovations and construction projects to support Kaiserslautern’s growing military community – most recently opening new child care centers at Sembach and Landstuhl.
For officers, a command is an honor and privilege that is often tough, demanding and arduous, Butcher said.
“It’s fitting that we gather together on occasions like this one and recognize contributions, bid farewell and welcome new blood,” Butcher said.
Zetterstrom, an Army engineer and West Point graduate from Clifton Park, N.Y., most recently served a tour in southern Afghanistan. Previously, he served as deputy commander with the Buffalo, N.Y.-district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
For Zetterstrom, the command position returns him and his family to Germany, where he began his Army career as a platoon leader with the Bamberg-based 82nd Engineer Battalion. Other assignments include both staff and command positions with the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, N.C., and the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, N.Y. During his career, Zetterstrom has deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
He and his wife Erin, also a New Yorker, have three children. He holds a master's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Missouri.
“He is no stranger to the business of military construction, which will serve the command well considering the breadth of construction and renovation which will occur in the coming years,” Butcher said.
Dutch officers who served with Zetterstrom in Afghanistan also attended the ceremony, as did many local German officials.
“I look forward to continuing and building the critical relationships with our German and European friends and allies,” Zetterstrom said.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition began in earnest today as 12 Soldiers from the 143d ESC and the 321st Military Intelligence Battalion demonstrated their physical power and mental might to complete a gauntlet of Soldier skills.
Dawn had yet to illuminate the lakes and trees blanketing Camp Blanding, Fla., when the Soldiers endured an Physical Fitness Test directed by Army Reserve drill sergeants from A Company, 2nd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment (Initial Entry Training) out of Jacksonville, Fla. After completing pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run, the competitors had less than hour to eat, clean, change uniforms, don rucksacks and step into a van bound for Camp Blanding’s live fire ranges.
The 143d ESC cadre and A-2/485 drill sergeants managed the ranges that tested the each competitor’s competency with the M4 Carbine, M9 Pistol and M203 Grenade Launcher—all while wearing a gas mask. The Soldiers were then ferried deep into Camp Blanding’s dense forest. The troops applied their land navigation skills to physically locate three distant points on a map using only a compass and protractor.
As the hot, dry day relinquished control to a cold, moonless night, the competitors returned to the field with weapons in hands and night vision goggles over their eyes. Muzzle flashes pierced the darkness as the competitors attempted to eliminate their artificially illuminated targets.
The exhausted yet enthusiastic dozen returned then to their barracks to clean weapons, write an essay and prepare for another grueling day that begins with a 10-mile road march.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Dec. 19, 2014) -- The U.S. Army is seeking to implement a new mortar manufacturing process to provide improved weapons at a lower cost, officials said.
The Army introduced a nickel super-alloy called Inconcel to produce mortars in 2008, but its properties make it challenging to manufacture. Researchers have been working on an alternative method to overcome the difficulties, said Chris Humiston, a mechanical engineer with the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Watervliet Arsenal, New York.

Fairchild C/N: 10767
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-119_Flying_Boxcar
The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy and Marine Corps designation R4Q) was an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II-era Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual twin-boom design earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar".
The Air Force C-119 and Navy R4Q was initially a redesign of the earlier C-82 Packet, built between 1945 and 1948. The Packet provided service to the Air Force's Tactical Air Command and Military Air Transport Service for nearly nine years during which time its design was found to have several serious problems. All of these were addressed in the C-119.
In contrast to the C-82, the cockpit was moved forward to fit flush with the nose rather than its previous location over the cargo compartment. This resulted in more usable cargo space and larger loads than the C-82 could accommodate. The C-119 also featured more powerful engines, and a wider and stronger airframe. The first C-119 prototype (called the XC-82B) first flew in November 1947, with deliveries of C-119Bs from Fairchild's Hagerstown, Maryland factory beginning in December 1949.
In 1951, Henry J. Kaiser was awarded a contract to assemble additional C-119s at the Kaiser-Frazer automotive factory located in the former B-24 plant at Willow Run Airport in Belleville, Michigan. Initially, the Kaiser-built C-119F differed from the Fairchild aircraft by the use of Wright R-3350-85 Duplex Cyclone engines in place of Fairchild's use of the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial engine. Kaiser built 71 C-119s at Willow Run in 1952 and 1953 (AF Ser. No. 51-8098 to 51-8168) before converting the factory for a planned production of the Chase C-123 that never eventuated. The Kaiser sub-contract was frowned upon by Fairchild, and efforts were made through political channels to stop Kaiser's production, which may have proven successful. Following Kaiser's termination of C-119 production the contract for the C-123 was instead awarded to Fairchild. Most Kaiser-built aircraft were issued to the U.S. Marine Corps as R4Qs, with several later turned over to the South Vietnamese air force in the 1970s.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) engaged with America’s next generation of leaders at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando Nov. 17, 2016.
Army Maj. Frederick Moss, provost marshal, 143d ESC, and Army Staff Sgt. Andre Osby, maintenance manager, 143d ESC, joined members of the Army Marketing Research Group and the Tampa and Miami Army Recruiting Battalions to educate students and faculty members about the Army’s vision, mission and values. Moss and Osby encouraged hundreds of students to participate in several interactive exhibits that included individual fitness challenges, team building exercises, and even an AH-64 Apache helicopter flight simulator.
Many students waiting for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the Soldiers 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 school visit is one of the many Army-sponsored events connected to the Florida Classic, one of America’s largest college football rivalry featuring two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University. Moss, Osby and other 143d ESC Soldiers will actively participate in these community engagement activities leading up to the Nov. 20 kickoff at Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando.

PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – Soldiers from Headquarters & Headquarters Company, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), demonstrated the Army Reserve’s commitment to be the most capable, combat ready and lethal federal Reserve force in U.S. history during a field training event conducted April 8, 2017, at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla.
“America’s armed forces look to the Army Reserve to provide quick access to trained and ready forces that our active duty partners need to initiate, sustain and prevail in major operations,” said 1st Lt. Jonathan R. Clark, company commander, HHC, 143d ESC. “The 143d [ESC] supports this critical role by conducting immersive and engaging Battle Assemblies that test our capabilities at the individual Soldier level.”
Approximately 300 Soldiers demonstrated their marksmanship skills during a weapons qualification event at Patrick AFB’s Combat Arms Training Facility. The 143d ESC partnered with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing to use this $8.5 million facility to train and qualify the troops with the M9 Pistol, M4 Carbine, M16 Rifle and the M249 light machine gun.
While awaiting their turn on the firing line, the troops participated in various classes and practical exercises that enhanced their fundamentals of marksmanship, radio communications, medical care under fire and other essential skills for all Soldiers to master regardless of their rank, assignment or specialty.
“Today’s global security environment is growing in scope and complexity,” said Clark. “The Army Reserve is rapidly evolving to adapt to this ever-changing environment, and the 143d [ESC] will be better prepared to overcome complex challenges that threaten our nation by fortifying the fundamentals of a warfighting force.”
