Beneath the frost-laden skies and amidst the pristine white of winter, a commander rides with purpose. The estate stands as a testament to tradition, while the horse carries the weight of discipline and duty. In this harmony of nature and authority, one is reminded that leadership knows no season—it is steadfast and unwavering.
“Through snow and silence, the resolve of a leader never falters.”

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.
