Orlando, Fla.- Brigade commanders, command sergeants majors and key leaders from the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) gathered for the Mission Command Training briefs (MTB) from Feb. 23-25 in Orlando.
As America’s posture continues to shift to keep up with current changes in the world. Leaders from all levels and their Soldiers must be prepared to respond to the call at a moment’s notice.
Each brigade commander and command sergeant major is responsible for advising Brig. Gen. Deborah Kotulich, commanding general, 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) and her staff on their units’ readiness posture and key inhibitors that may prevent them from achieving their objectives for future exercises and missions.
“It’s a contract between me and the commanding general as a brigade commander and our battalion commanders on what we are going to train for throughout the years,” said Col. Justin Swanson, commander, 518th Sustainment Brigade located in Knightdale, North Carolina.
The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Mission command is a training program that provides leaders with the opportunity to place emphasis on developing their units’ warfighting functions and readiness.
“It helps the battalions to understand where they really sit verses where they think they are,” said Command Sgt. Major Gerald Knight, command sergeant major of the 641st Regional Support Group, located in in St. Petersburg, Fla.
As the largest expeditionary sustainment command in the U.S. Army Reserve, 143rd leadership must be ready and prepared to move into a more dynamic operational environment.
In a recent memorandum published by U.S. Army Reserve Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Charles Luckey said, “As the most battle-tested reserve force in our Nation’s history, we must now shift our focus, drive our cultural ethos, and develop our capabilities to meet the imperatives of a threat environment.”
In order to be prepared, leadership must first understand the requirements from leadership, this assists commanders with developing training for Soldiers as it applies to their mission.
“We have a comprehensive readiness operation orders that encompass everything from physical training, medical, dental and even personal readiness. This is used as an overall guide to leadership to the platoon level”, said Swanson.
Readiness has been a hot topic as the military continues to groom and gear its Soldiers into an operational mindset. Last October, during the Association of the U.S. Army’s 61st Annual Meeting, U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley made his priorities perfectly clear, “Readiness for combat is our number 1 priority, and there is no other number 1.”

The International Bomber Command Centre opened in 2018 as a centre for “recognition, remembrance and reconciliation for Bomber Command”, after years of controversy about the failure to recognise (officially) a military arm which suffered so many losses in World War II. It is situated at the southern end of the City of Lincoln, the hub of “Bomber County” (Lincolnshire), where 27 of England’s bomber bases were located.It is well worth a visit. Nice to see ‘real’ faces as well as names in a list ;-)

An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.
This patch was used by the United States Army's Antiaircraft Command - Southern Defense Command from 1942-1946.
Lieutenant Colonel Todd W. Burnley assumed command of the AFSBn-Bagram, 401st Army Field Support Brigade from Lt. Col. Peter J. Koch in a change of command ceremony Dec. 7 presided over by Col. Mark A. Paget, 401st AFSB commander.
About the 401st:
The 401st Army field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission. If they shoot, drive it, fly it, wear it, eat it or communicate with it, the 401st helps provide it. The brigade assists coalition partners with many of their logistical and sustainment needs. The brigade also handles the responsible disposition of equipment in Afghanistan to support evolving missions. We are the single link between Warfighters in the field, and working through Army Sustainment Command, we leverage Army Materiel Command’s worldwide Materiel Enterprise to develop, deliver, and sustain materiel to ensure a dominant joint force for the U.S. and our Allies.
