ORLANDO, Fla. - The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) conducted a Headquarters and Headquarters Company run March 14, 2015, at Southport Community Park in Orlando. The run reinforced the command's espirit de corps while debuting the company's new Physical Training shirts.
Joining the 150 Soldiers on the three-mile trot were four members from Operation Giveback, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and resources for America's wounded warriors, their families and the children of fallen heroes.
Jose Garcia Aponte, a former Army sergeant major and founder of Operation Giveback (OGB) ran alongside Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general of the 143d ESC, as he led his column of gold and black clad Soldiers as they sang cadences and took turns holding the unit's colors.
Aponte and Espaillat aim to enhance the 143d ESC's longstanding partnership with Operation Giveback by increasing the command's participation in OGB's charity events. Dozens of Soldiers have already pledged to run or volunteer in OGB's fifth annual 5K, 10K and Kids Run/Walk/Roll to be held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida.
For more information about Operation Giveback's vision, mission and programs, visit www.operation-giveback.org/.

Uganda’s Gen David Sejusa (in blue)) has been denied bail at the General Court Martial Court at Makindye in Kampala Uganda until 23rdFeb after the General elections 9th Feb,2016.He has been sent back to Luzira Prison until then when his bail application will be heard again.
General David Sejusa, 61, was charged last week before Kampala based military court with several charges including absence without official leave, participating in political activities and insubordination.
However, he declined to enter plea to the read charges saying the Charges preffredagainst him are the same before the High Court in Kampala. Court directed that he files formal application to object to the charges insteadoforal. He was remanded to Luzira Prison until February 9 this year when he will return to court.
In the first count, court chaired by Maj Gen. Levi Karuhanga heard that Gen Sejusa in April 2013 while a member of Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) and an MP was given permission of leave for three weeks but upon expiry of the said leave, he did not return to the August House.
Gen Sejusa’s lawyers put up a seriousarguement saying the charge their client cannot be tried on service offences yet he has a pending case in the High Court- Civil Division on whether he is still a serving army officer or not.
Gen Sejusa fled the country in April 2013 after he alleged, in a letter, that there was a plot to eliminate top government officials opposed to the “Muhoozi project”.
Brig Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the commander of the Special Forces Command, is son of President Museveni.
Gen Sejusa’s lawyers were comprised of Ladislaus Rwakafuuzi, Yunusu Kasirivu, Yusuf Nsibambi, Erias Lukwago, David Mushabe and Mike Mabikke among others.
Prosecution was comprised of Col Asingura Kagoro, Maj. Raphael Mugisha, Maj. Moses Buwaso and Lt. Ambrose Baguma.
Gen Sejusa, is the first UPDF four star general to be tried in the military court but shocked many many when he said he doesnot care about being charged before the army court in relation to the ‘defiance campaigns’ and his calls for vote protection mechanism, saying such schemes are within the ambit of the Constitution.
Government through its Spokesperson and Uganda Media Centre Director Ofwono Opondo said they had information that Sejusa was planning to mobilize a big group to burn the Electoral Commision and Government Cars if the Opposition lost the elections.

IMCOM-Korea holds change of command
IMCOM-Korea Region Public Affairs Office
Installation Management Command- Korea Region welcomed its new Commander and said farewell to its outgoing Commanding General during a July 2 change of command ceremony.
Colonel John Uberti accepted command of IMCOM-Korea from Brig. Gen. Al Aycock during the ceremony held inside Yongsan’s Collier Field House. Uberti is replacing Aycock as the commander of IMCOM-Korea Region, which is headquartered here. The command oversees the installation management and support structure of Army garrisons throughout the Republic of Korea .
Uberti received a warm welcome from those in attendance. During his incoming remarks, the colonel stated he would continue to uphold IMCOM-Korea’s successful policies and programs that are making a difference in the quality of life Soldiers and their Families experience while living in the ROK.
“Our Families are in many ways the true selfless servants to our Army and our nation,” Uberti said. “It is with that in mind that I pledge to continuously improve your quality of life; building on the Army Family Covenant and the many great programs the garrison teams have put in place across the peninsula.”
Uberti addressed Servicemembers in Korea, saying “IMCOM-Korea will do all we can to support you, your units and your families so you can concentrate on remaining ready to fight and win as part of the ROK-U.S. Alliance.”
Lt. Gen. Robert Wilson, Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, presided over the ceremony. “This Region is well-led and consists of a very dedicated and talented work force that has successfully mapped out the Region transformation while vastly improving Readiness and Quality of Life,” Wilson said. “From the DA Community Relations award to EEO, Force Protection, Community of Excellence…IMCOM-Korea Region has certainly distinguished itself throughout IMCOM and the Army.”
IMCOM-Korea has been key to supporting USFK in normalizing tours, from the establishment of Pear Blossom Cottages (facilities that offer support for non-command sponsored families who live off post) to assisting in the expansion of schools, youth services and Child Development Centers, to meet the needs of a community rapidly changing from one that was non-command sponsored to one that is,” the general said.

The CCWO also addresses any issues that the warrant officers' family members may have, while striving to create a culture of professionalism in our ranks.
With this coming at the end of an illustrious 29 year career, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Villarreal reminded the many attending Warrant officers from across Oahu to be the most professional soldier in their formations. Warrant officers are a positive role model and should take every opportunity to teach, coach, and mentor all who seek your guidance: Soldiers, NCOs, officers, and warrant officers alike.

CAMP ITAMI, Japan – Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan (USARJ), met Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) Warrant Officer Akihiro Kanae, command sergeant major, JGSDF Western Army at Camp Itami, Japan, Feb. 22, 2016.
Dostie and Kanae exchanged ideas to empower their respective noncommissioned officer (NCO) corps. Among the many topics discussed included integrating USARJ NCO instructors in the JGSDF’s Basic English language course, expanding the Japan Officer Exchange Program to senior NCOs, and enhancing the NCO corps’ role in bilateral training exercises.
Dostie’s short but productive visit comprised a traditional Japanese luncheon followed by a tour of the JGSDF Middle Army museum. The museum’s collection showcased Japan’s proud military history while highlighting its plans to reconstruct the JGSDF regional armies into a more cohesive, rapidly deployable force.
Dostie and Kanae exchanged gifts in a show of friendship that signified the closing months in their respective positions. Kanae plans to retire from the JGSDF in February 2017, while Dostie will say, “sayonara,” to Japan in March as he prepares for his next assignment as the command sergeant major for U.S. Army Central, a major command headquartered in Fort McPherson, Georgia, that boasts an area of responsibility of more than 20 countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa.
