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.

The memorial will stand as a fitting tribute to the 55,573 Bomber Command crew who lost their lives in the Second World War.
The Bomber Command Memorial has been designed by architect Liam O'Connor
The memorial has been built to be modern, yet classical, in Portland stone.
At its heart are the bronze sculptures of a Bomber Command aircrew.
Within the memorial, the space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew.
The scale of the sculpture as a whole means that visitors will always see the profile of the sculpture against the sky above them, day and night - thus rendering that section of the sky powerfully symbolic for the memorial.
SeaMonkey kept locking up on me so I had to kill it and re-launch. Another one I'm having to kill a lot is Pidgin.

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany – The command and staff of the U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Bavaria (MEDDAC Bavaria) took to the Grafenwoehr Training Area (GTA) small arms Range 124 to sharpen their Soldier combat skills September 1, specifically to put bullets through bullseyes during the command’s annually scheduled live-fire range qualification.
Prior to taking their place on the firing line each Soldier received a weapons safety brief, a GTA range card which details proper procedure and behavior in a live-fire training environment and a weapons inspection. Each Soldier is checked for proper eye and ear protection as well as uniform, and only then are they assigned a place on the line and a target.
“Every Soldier in this command is committed to helping the force – our fellow Soldiers - to achieve Gen. Milley’s number one goal: readiness.” said Master Sgt. Joseph Bonham, MEDDAC Bavaria Operations and Security who was facilitating the training. “It’s what MEDDAC is all about - it's important to be combat ready no matter what MOS you have - and just as we do regarding Soldier fitness, support and resiliency, we strive to set the example for combat readiness too.”
The Soldiers, training with the M9 Pistol and the M4 Rifle, rotated in and out of the GTA range throughout the day. “The qualification process and scoring is demanding. It takes concentration and focus.” said Bonham. “It takes a little time but once you get down to it, you become more confident and adjusted to the weapon, and you get better – more accurate with each round - and your score goes up.”
MEDDAC Soldiers also spent the day in exercises that sharpened their skills in map reading, land navigation exercises, chemical and biological attack procedures and field communications.
MEDDAC Bavaria clinics provide responsive, reliable quality health care to ensure a medically ready force, and provide support to Soldiers and their family members stationed overseas in our area of responsibility, that they are cared for medically as well as mentally.
MEDDAC Bavaria promotes health and readiness through a number of programs in support of Soldiers and military families in Germany including the Army Performance Triad, and a variety of preventive medicine programs such as smoking cessation, proper dietary/eating habits and effective strategies for dealing with stress, among others.

NORTH AMERICAN ROCKWELL
APOLLO COMMAND MODULE (MOCKUP)
The Apollo command module is the NASA spacecraft that flew astronauts from the Earth to the Moon and back.
In 1961, NASA awarded the contract for the command module to then North American Aviation. It was a continuation of the "capsule" spacecraft design used in the Mercury and Gemini Programs. The Apollo command module was larger to accommodate three astronauts and used advanced computers and navigational equipment on the longer lunar flights. For most of the flight, the command module was attached to the service module which contained the propulsion, environmental, electrical, control and fuel systems.
Unlike the previous NASA spacecraft, the Apollo command module was built with a docking assembly and hatch so that it could dock with the lunar module. The lunar module would detach and land on the moon with two astronauts leaving the command module and its pilot in lunar orbit until their return.
Thirty-five command modules were built, with 15 of them being launched on manned space missions. These included eleven Apollo missions, three Skylab missions, and the Apollo Soyuz Test Project. The rest of the modules were used in various Earthbound tests or unmanned test flights.
This command module mockup was built by North American Rockwell for the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite during their reporting of the Apollo missions. Made up of surplus command module panels, equipment, couches and other parts, it gave television viewers a visual of the interior of the spacecraft. During the Apollo missions, there was limited live and recorded footage for use by the networks. Mockups, models, graphics and other visual aids were important tools for reporters to help fill in the visual narrative of an Apollo mission.
The mockup was later used in the Ron Howard & Tom Hanks HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. In the miniseries, the mockup was used by Emmett Seaborn, a fictitious news anchor with the fictitious NTC network.
Technical Specifications (Command Module Without Service Module):
Length: 30 ft-10 in
Diameter: 10 ft-7 in
Interior 210 cubic feet
Weight: 12.251 Ibs. (without service module)
Crew: 3
