KABUL, Afghanistan – Army Brig. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, commanding general, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), an Army Reserve unit headquartered in Orlando, Fla., traveled to various locations throughout Afghanistan to visit Soldiers and civilians from the 143d ESC. In his travels Espaillat met with leaders from the 207th Regional Support Group, a unit headquartered in Ft. Jackson, S.C. and aligned under the 143d ESC when not forward deployed. Members from both the 143d ESC and 207th RSG provided Espaillat a mission overview while sharing experiences and posing for photos.
Many members of the 1st Theater Sustainment Command serving in the New Kabul Compound were originally assigned to the 143d ESC. Espaillat met with each section to discuss an array of topics and provide guidance to the Soldiers.
The 143d ESC and 207th RSG are currently deployed throughout Central Command’s area of responsibility in direct support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Both units are scheduled to redeploy later this spring.

11th Aviation Command Public Affairs
KITGUM, Uganda— When U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Kellyjack Luman needed to inspect growing operations at this remote village in northern Uganda, he relied upon the CH-47 Chinook helicopters from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 11th Aviation Command, a Fort Knox, KY-based unit supporting Natural Fire 10 this month in Uganda.
Check out all the great photos at U.S. Army Africa's Flickr site.
The flight was a first of many for the Chinook aviators, who will airlift supplies and troops around Uganda. Having the 11th Aviation Command at Natural Fire 10 is key, Luman said.
“It’s a really long drive from our headquarters here in Entebbe to Kitgum - we’re talking roughly an eight hour drive,” Luman said. “We’ll move more than 500 people both up there and back, plus supplies vital for life support during the exercise.”
Operating in Africa is an extreme effort for a U.S. Army Reserve aviation unit to undertake, said Maj. Doyle Riley, Company D, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment.
“From dismantling the aircraft in Kansas to transporting our helicopters and gear aboard a Russian aircraft to Africa, then rebuilding the Chinooks at Entebbe airfield and beginning operations a week ahead of schedule – those were monumental tasks we accomplished,” Riley said.
In the cockpit, Riley and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ron Erkie piloted the mammoth two-rotor helicopter through the Ugandan skies. Nearby, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Dwayne McQuade and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jim Hand flew their sister ship alongside, carrying a group of aviators who were learning the air routes North from Entebbe.
Luman and Col. Eric Nantz, U.S. Army Africa’s operations officer, led a site survey team to Kitgum to check on construction of a camp that will house soldiers from Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda , Kenya and the United States during the exercise.
The team also inspected the forward area refueling point, known to aviators as a FARP, where they will land during operations to take on fuel.
Luman stated his firm belief that there is no difference between active and reserve component Soldiers. That said, Luman was impressed to see a stateside Reserve unit tackle the mission with such enthusiasm.
“Getting the aircraft here, ready to go early, assisted U.S. Army Africa staff greatly, allowing us to check out the areas where our Soldiers will live and work,” Luman said. “Without the 11th Aviation, it would have taken two days out of our time to drive there and back.”

1965 Studebaker Commander 2-door sedan in Laurentian Green (P-6479). The Commander 2-door sedan was the lowest priced entry level Studebaker in the 1965 model year (August 1964-June 1965). All 1965 models were Lark-based compact sedans (2 or 4 door) and Wagonaire wagons from Hamilton, Ontario, as South Bend closed early in the 1964 model year in December 1963. 1965 continued (with running changes) the 1964 restyle body shell by Brooks Stevens (an update of the basic 1953 Studebaker platform shortened for the Lark series in 1959). Laurentian Green was a 1965-1/2 spring color.
The Commander 2-door sedan (on a shorter 109" wheelbase versus 113" on 4-door models) had a $2,215 factory delivered price, offered with choice of Chevy engines: the 194 "Skybolt" six or the 283 "Thunderbolt" V8, built under license by McKinnon (a Canadian GM affiliate) for Studebaker. 3,638 Commander 2-door sedans were built for 1965 (3,067 six and 571 V8). The '65 and '66 Studebakers were known as "Chevybakers" for being Chevrolet powered.

Command Sergeant Major Tyrone Johnson thanking the USMA Band Detachment and presents them with his CSM coin.
After over 90 years of supporting the United States Army's communications requirements, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey is closing. Over the years, communications systems from carrier pigeons and telegraph to radar (the system that detected the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor was developed here) radios, microwave, and modern satellite technology were developed and managed here.
This ceremony was for the casing of the Communications and Electronics Command's (CECOM) colors (military flag and awards). I was deeply touched by the number of people in the audience that broke down into tears or who had misty eyes. It's understandable given that Ft. Monmouth is a close-knit community. There are people who work here who's parents and grandparents worked here.
With the "Casing of the Colors" concluded, the fort will be closed within a year. Gone for good, a hidden jewel of a military post on the Jersey Shore, "Gone with the Wind…."
The fort was fortunate to have the United States Military Academy Band present for the ceremony.
