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.”

The Royal Air Force Bomber Command Memorial is a memorial in Green Park, London, commemorating the crews of RAF Bomber Command who embarked on missions during the Second World War. The memorial, located on Piccadilly near Hyde Park Corner, was built to mark the sacrifice of 55,573 aircrew from Britain, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Poland and other countries of the Commonwealth, as well as civilians of all nations killed during raids. The controversy over the tactics employed by RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War meant that an official memorial to the aircrews had been delayed for many years. Despite describing bombers as "the means of victory" in 1940, British prime minister Winston Churchill did not mention Bomber Command in his speech at the end of the war.
An appeal was made for £5.6 million to build the memorial, and funding came from donations made by the public, as well as substantial amounts from Lord Ashcroft[6] and businessmen John Caudwell and Richard Desmond. Robin Gibb, the singer, became a key figure behind the appeal, working alongside Jim Dooley to raise funds and have the memorial built.
Liam O'Connor designed the memorial, built of Portland stone, which features a bronze 2.7 m sculpture of seven aircrew, designed by the sculptor Philip Jackson to look as though they have just returned from a bombing mission and left their aircraft.
Aluminium from a Royal Canadian Air Force Handley Page Halifax of No. 426 Squadron that had crashed in Belgium in May 1944 was used to build the roof of the memorial, which was designed to evoke the geodetic structure of the Vickers Wellington. The Halifax, LW682 OW/M, had been removed from a swamp in 1997 with three of the crew found still at their posts. They were buried with full military honours in Geraardsbergen and the remains of the aircraft were sent to Canada. Some of the metal was used for the restoration of a Halifax in Trenton, Ontario, and the rest was melted down by the Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alberta. The Museum provided ingots for the memorial to commemorate the 10,659 of 55,573 Bomber Command aircrew killed during the war that were Canadian.
The plinth of the memorial is inscribed with the following text by Pericles: "Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it."

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.
