CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait - On Mar. 22 here, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Michael Harden, command engineer, 143d ESC, was honored with the de Fleury Medal by the Corps of Engineers. The tradition was started when the Corps of Engineers implemented the US Army Regimental system; the senior Engineer leadership sought a method for the Corps of Engineers to honor those individuals who have provided significant contributions to Army Engineering. With an emphasis on the history, customs, and traditions of the Corps, the Engineer Regiment instituted an award that tied in with the beginnings of the nation and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The day was capped off by the promotion of Staff Sgt. Eric Cintron, information assurance, to Sgt. 1st Class; Master Sgt. Nelson being awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his work here as FRAGO manager and Sgt.

Reserve legal Soldiers learn family also key to readiness
By Sgt. 1st Class Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Reserve Legal Command
GAITHERSBURG, Maryland – Taking part in Command Team Sync training was beneficial to Sgt. 1st Class Rob Kubowski, who recently became the chief paralegal noncommissioned officer for the 214th Legal Operations Detachment.
Kubowski, 30, of West Bend, Wisconsin, was among the 140 U.S. Army Reserve Legal Command Soldiers who took part in the three-day information sharing and training summit that will lead to enhanced readiness. Among the attendees were commanders, nine who are new to their jobs, and 21 warrant officers who serve as legal administrators.
For new paralegal NCOs like Kubowski, the wealth of information received over the three days was beneficial, he said. He and his incoming commander, Col. Richard Sugarman, took advantage of the opportunity to network.
“We went around and actually talked with each of the headquarters staff sections. That has been very helpful,” Kubowski said. “And there are pieces from all the briefs that will help us to continue to be successful.”
During his keynote presentation, Maj. Gen. Scottie Carpenter, U.S. Army Reserve Command’s deputy commander highlighted that Soldiers caring for their families is a key component to readiness. While the military is often a priority, USARC knows that a strong Soldier, during times of peace and times of war, is supported by their family, Carpenter said. He understands the strain on Soldiers and their families, something he said he sees all too often.
“Don’t forget the reason you’re in this uniform,” Carpenter said “You’re in this uniform for your county and your family. And your family is always number one.”
He warned the leaders to be aware that their military and professional lives can take their toll on their families.
“Some people forget that and they become so consumed between your careers,” Carpenter told the legal professionals. “Your career field is very technical, it’s very intense and it’s very time consuming. If you’re not careful, you can get wrapped up into that life and you’ll look back, one day, and you’re family is not there.”
Headquartered in Gaithersburg, about 25 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., USARLC oversees 1,800 personnel stationed in 104 cities in 43 states in the continental U.S. and two overseas locations. This includes Soldiers serving as judge advocates, warrant officers, paralegal noncommissioned officers, junior enlisted personnel, plus civilian para-professionals.
Under the command of Brig. Gen. Ural Glanville, USARLC serves the legal needs of Army Reserve Soldiers, Families, and Retirees. It also supports the active Army, backfilling units, working at installation legal offices and supporting forward deployed military missions.
“We have priorities that we need to meet, jobs we need to do and people we need to take care of,” Glanville said. “And we have our civilian lives and our families.”
Glanville also emphasized that Soldier readiness includes taking care of families.
“Our families are behind us. They support us, as we wear this uniform. When you’re at home, be the best you can be.”
The Army Reserve provides approximately 87 percent of the Army’s legal units and approximately 40 percent of the Army’s attorneys. Most of the command’s 28 detachments provide general legal services, administrative and operational law. Three LODs focus on trial defense service. One provides Army judges for courts-martial and another provides attorneys with specialized knowledge to the active component.
Glanville stressed the importance of Reserve Soldiers remaining close to their active duty counterparts and support to the active component, a reality enhanced by nearly 18 years of war.
“This relationship was forged by combat, we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with our (active duty) brothers and sisters for that period of time. We don’t want to lose that. We truly are better together.”
Supporting U.S. Army Reserve units, while making sure our Soldiers receive proper training experience, should go hand in hand, Glanville said. Finding opportunities to support Reserve Soldiers and enhance legal experience is the goal.
“We serve two masters, the JAG Corps and the Army Reserve,” Glanville said. “We have to balance the needs of both.”
The second day’s training opened with a presentation by Maj. Gen. Stuart Risch, Deputy Judge Advocate General, who offered insight into the future of the JAG Corps.
“He offered us strategic direction, so we’re all on the same sheet of music, playing the same song,” said Col. Francis Kelly, of the New York City-based 4th LOD. “He emphasized readiness and resiliency. He also gave a picture of future, strategic initiatives. That’s beneficial.”
For Kubowski, the trip to Maryland gave him a sense that the USARLC leadership cares about the troops, sentiment that will resonate with the 214 LOD Soldiers back in Fort Snelling, Minnesota.
“First and foremost, the senior leadership here is genuinely concerned about issues at every LOD, whether it’s technology or lodging-in-kind. All of those things, they are concerned about and are committed to fixing,” Kubowski said. “It’s nice to see, here’s the problem – here’s the solution. That’s what I’ll take back.”
