July 12, 2018 Col. Harry C. Marson took the reins of command from Col. Andrew Hanson as the West Point Garrison Commander. The ceremony held in Eisenhower Hall was attended by hundreds and presided over by Mr. Vincent E. Grewatz, Sr. Executive Service, Director of Installation Management Command-Training. The Legion of Merit was awarded to Hanson for his service as the West Point Garrison Commander and presented by Grewatz. “This is not only our oldest garrison,” said Grewatz. “It is a special place for our Army.” Grewatz congratulated the incoming commander and thanked the outgoing commander. “It’s what Andy built here that he leaves behind,” said Gerwatz. “It’s the relationships with the communities, inside and outside the gates, and the team he built that will help ensure future success.”
CAMP BLANDING, Fla. –The 2017 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) entered its second full day as 12 competitors looked deep with themselves and to one another to find the strength and courage to face seemingly countless challenges that covered the full spectrum of warrior tasks and skills.
The 143d ESC cadre and their Army Reserve drill sergeant partners split the dozen dog tired Soldiers into two even groups. One team departed for Camp Blanding’s Military Operations and Urban Terrain site, while the other proceeded to the post’s air assault course.
The MOUT site comprised seven stations that featured practical exercises that evaluated each competitor’s mastery of essential Soldier skills. From facing movements and weapons assembly to administering first aid and setting up a claymore, every Soldier had to demonstrate their ability to apply what they learned in Basic Military Training with little to no assistance from the strict instructors.
The air assault course tested the Soldiers’ speed, strength and endurance climbed, crawled, leapt and lifted their way through various obstacles designed to humble even the most resilient athlete.
Later that day, both groups switched sites, and all 12 Soldiers received a refresher course in throwing hand grenades.
After 12 hours of constant movement while carrying 35-pound ruck sacks, the competitors returned to the barracks to prepare their gear for an early morning 10-mile road march followed by an Army Service Uniform appearance board.

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.”

Positioned to the right of World War Two a Gun Emplacement is a small bunker, either used as an Observation Post or Command Post in conjunction with the gun emplacement. Constructed from brickwork shuttering and poured concrete, the bunker is 9ft 2in sqaure with a 1ft 1in wall thickness, there is a large embrasure off-set to the left, this has no splayed or stepped sides and is not suitable for a machine gun position, the embrasure has a large overhead protection. The entrance is at the rear and to the left, which also has overhead protection, and is entered by a couple of steps, condition of the bunker is very good. This was part of the Weybourne Military Camp, which is now the site of the Muckleburgh Military Collection.
The site of the World War Two and post war Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp located alongside the cliffs at Weybourne to the north west of the village. The camp originally started out as a temporary summer camp for the Anti-Aircraft Division of the Territorial Army in 1935. At first the majority of the camp consisted of wooden and tented structures, although in 1937 it was decided to make the camp permanent and more fixed structures and defences were erected. The camp closed in 1959. During World War Two the camp was surrounded by a perimeter Anti-Tank Ditch and defended by a system of Gun Emplacements and Barbed Wire obstructions. The interior of the camp consisted of groups of Nissen huts and barracks and other military buildings. The cliff top to the north was covered by a line of Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns and Batteries, Slit Trenches and Pillboxes.
RAF Weybourne was a World War Two Anti-Aircraft Establishment, ''X'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based at the station between 16th May and 14th September 1939, with ''T'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit there between 25th February and 29th April 1942. No. 6 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based there between 7th December 1942 and 30th November 1943. Associated with the Anti-Aircraft Gunnery, the station operated the De Havilland DH-82B Queen Bee target drone aircraft, a radio-controlled target tug version of the Tiger Moth II.
Although the published closure date known for this airfield relates to the World War Two airfield, the Army maintained an Anti-Aircraft Training Camp across from RAF Weybourne using Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft Guns linked to AA4 Mk.7 Gun-Laying Radar. When that closed in 1958 the radars were transferred to the RAF. A very small permanent detachment was maintained there using the obsolete radar into the 1980's for cross-tell training, decoy work and to extend low level coverage. In the late 1980's, after the obsolete radars were removed, trials were carried out to confirm the site's suitability for deployment of the new mobile radars that were coming into service.
A Marconi Type 91 ''Martello'' radar was moved from RAF Trimingham to Weybourne in September 1996, operated by 432 Signals Unit acting as a Ready Platform (along with RAF Hopton and RAF Trimingham) for the IUKADGE Series II (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment) Radar System controlled from the R3 Underground Control Centre at RAF Neatishead. In October 1997 the Type 91 at RAF Weybourne was de-built, replaced when the Type 93 at RAF Trimingham became operational.

U.S. Southern Command held its Women's History Month Observance March 29th in the Conference Center of the Americas. Themed "Honoring Trailblazing Women Who Have Paved the Way for Future Generations," the event featured Ms. Brianne Gonzalez singing the National Anthem, Chaplain Charles Towery with the invocation, vignettes by Capt. Jennifer Palko and Ms. Alison Brown; and a wonderful singing performance by the children of the Garrison Child Development Center.
A surprise was the standing ovation and presentation of flowers to Ms. Sheila Chamberlain, the Army's first female African-American Combat Intelligence Pilot, and veteran of Korea and Latin America. The guest speaker was Ms. Lynn Kirkpatrick, Chief of International Narcotics and Money Laundering for the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Florida. Her humorous, and humanity-rich presentation left everyone with a greater understanding of the challenges of the dual roles professional women are required to fulfill at home and on the job.
