Deputy Defense Secretary visits Camp Humphreys, thanks troops
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea, - Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter got a close look at Camp Humphreys and spoke to more than 300 U.S. Army and Air Force members, here, during his visit to the garrison, July 26.
In speaking to the troops, the deputy secretary thanked them for their service to the nation and pointed out the importance of the role they play in maintaining peace and security in the region.
"Turn on your television and look at Syria or someplace where there is no security, [then] you realize how fortunate it is to have – you provide that to people," said Carter. "You, right here, right now, in this part of the world, are at the fulcrum of the strategic change that we in the United States are making."
During his stop, Carter also listened to a briefing about the garrison’s ongoing transformation. Army Lt. Gen. John D. Johnson, 8th Army commander, and Gen. James D. Thurman, Commander of U.S. Forces Korea, gave the deputy secretary an update on plans to relocate to Camp Humphreys.
Home to the 2nd Infantry Division's combat aviation brigade and the Army's most active airfield in the Pacific, Camp Humphreys is currently the site of the largest construction project in the Defense Department’s history.
According to Carter, “South Korea-stationed troops must be ready every day to face and defeat aggression.”
“That’s why you have the newest and best equipment – because your proficiency, your readiness, your capability, have to be tip-top for you to do what you do,” he said.
Carter closed with his remarks to the troops by reminding them the importance they play, every day, in securing South Korea and fostering goodwill with in the Pacific region.
"You have much to be proud of. You have much to feel good about when you wake up every morning. And you should. And I just wanted you to know that and to reflect on that a little bit and go home and tell your family about it," said Carter.

U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox welcomed its new leader today at 10 a.m. as Maj. Gen. Peggy Combs transferred command to Maj. Gen. Christopher Hughes during a change of command ceremony at Brooks Parade Field here.
Hughes came to Fort Knox from Fort Shafter, Hawaii, where he served at the U.S. Army Pacific Command chief of staff. As the USACC commander, he will oversee the Army ROTC program, which includes college-level units located on 275 colleges and universities throughout the nation. Nearly 1,000 other institutions of higher learning also have students who participate in Army ROTC, and more than 300,000 high school students are enrolled in the Army Junior ROTC program that is administered by USACC.
His role as the senior commander will include the care of Fort Knox Soldiers, their families and civilian employees, as well as enabling the readiness of tenant units on the Army post. This includes oversight of base operations support and family and installation programs.
Hughes is an Iowa native and was commissioned in 1983 through the Army ROTC program at Northwest Missouri State University and holds advanced degrees from Webster University and National Defense University. His military education includes the Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the Army Command and General Staff College and the Armed Forces Staff College. Hughes was designated a Distinguished Graduate upon completing the National War College in 2005.
Combs has led USACC and Fort Knox since March 2014. In that time, she implemented USACC’s “Bold Transformation” initiatives and led the development of “ROTC 2020-2040”, which are both centered on providing ROTC instruction to develop agile and adaptive officers who will be capable of making decisions and operating in a complex environment. She also instituted a cadre and faculty development course to help USACC Soldiers become well-rounded educators prior to serving in instructor positions in ROTC programs.
In her role as the Fort Knox commander, Combs worked with multiple installation support organizations to ensure USACC’s newly-transformed and significantly larger Cadet Summer Training mission on Fort Knox would be supported seamlessly. Additionally, she spearheaded a collaborative effort to chart a Fort Knox vision to maximize the post’s capabilities and assets as well as to support the U.S. Army’s No. 1 priority: readiness.
Combs’ next assignment will be at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, where she will serve as the U.S. Northern Command chief of staff.

CAMP ZAMA, Japan - The Army Reserve Engagement Team-Japan (ARET-J) welcomed Army Command Sgt. Maj. Luther Thomas, Jr., to the Land of the Rising Sun during his tour of the Pacific Aug. 17-19, 2015. ARET-J presented Thomas with an overview of the Army's mission in Japan while Thomas outlined the Army Reserve's latest training courses, retention programs and promotion incentives.
Thomas joined scores of Soldiers, families and Department of Defense civilians at the Camp Zama Community Club Aug. 18 to watch Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette, commanding general, U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) and I Corps (Forward) pin the rank of colonel onto the chest of Army Col. Timothy M. Snyder (right), ARET-J's newly appointed director. A former infantry officer and distinguished member of the U.S. Border Patrol, Snyder accumulated eight years serving in various leadership assignments throughout Japan. He and his small yet capable ARET-J team augment USARJ & I Corps (Fwd)'s mission by recruiting qualified Army Reserve Soldiers to fill dozens of key leadership positions throughout Japan.
“I am very impressed with what [ARET-J] has accomplished in such a short period of time,” said Thomas. “[Snyder] and his team have proved instrumental in seamlessly connecting USARJ with Army Reserve Soldiers who have the experience and expertise to excel in positions that would have otherwise remained vacant.”
After the ceremony, ARET-J organized a luncheon for Thomas at the Camp Zama Clubhouse Restaurant. There, the command sergeant major and his ARET-J hosts discussed candidly about the challenges and opportunities facing their their respective commands. The luncheon was followed by a formal briefing with Reserve Soldiers about the current status and future outlook of the Drilling Individual Mobilization Augmentee (DIMA) program. USARJ and I Corps (Fwd) depends on the DIMA program to fill key leadership and specialist positions that ensure the command boasts the talent and manpower necessary to manage the numerous logistical missions and bilateral engagements conducted throughout Japan. Thomas also discussed the effectiveness of “Operation Full Court Press,” the Army Reserve's latest campaign to keep qualified enlisted Soldiers in the Army through promotion incentives and employment opportunities in the private sector.
“In my travels I met many specialists (E4) who had been in the Army Reserve for almost a decade,” said Thomas. “Most of these older specialists were more than ready to enter the [noncommissioned officer] ranks … I took it upon myself that qualified E4s would automatically populate on the promotion board list. This program has increased the number of promotions from specialist to sergeant by more than 270 percent.”
Prior to his departure, Thomas presented his personal command sergeant major coin to Army Pfc. Shamika Richardson, a chaplain assistant serving in USARJ and I Corps (Fwd). A native of Tallahasee, Fla., Aug. 18, 2015, at Camp Zama, Japan. Richardson coordinated with the Camp Zama Dining Facility Staff to prepare the VIP room for a luncheon attended by Thomas and hosted by the Army Reserve Engagement Team-Japan.
“It wasn't that long ago that the [Active] Army, Army Reserve and National Guard treated one another as separate entities,” said Thomas. “The fact that USARJ's senior leadership rarely distinguish active duty Soldiers with their Reserve subordinates and superiors speaks highly of the ARET-J's commitment, compassion and professionalism.”
Thomas will continue to move east as he visits Army Reserve Soldiers stationed in Korea.
