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.

USAF Serial: 51-8024

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.

The first functional Apollo spacecraft launched into space was serial number 009 atop Saturn 1B SA-201. The command module is on display at the Strategic Air Command Museum near Ashland, Nebraska. I used my digital camera placed against the hatch window to acquire the view shown here. This is the only way to get a look inside without of course removing the hatch. CM-009 was restored in the late 1990s after years of outdoor storage at the University of Nebraska. Unfortunately, the restoration resulted in a fiberglass shell being placed around the spacecraft to simulate its pre-flight appearance. The original hatch is stored inside as seen to the right.

Kaiserslautern garrison welcomes new commander

Check us out on Facebook!

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.
