The 8th Theater Sustainment Command hosted a Command Chief Warrant Officer Change of Responsibilities Ceremony April 6 at the Hale Ikena on Fort Shafter, Hawaii.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Daniel Villarreal, the outgoing CCWO, transferred his position and responsibilities to Chief Warrant Officer 4 (P) Mark Parr, the incoming CCWO.
The CCWO provides the command team with all-encompassing expertise on warrant officers and oversees the training, placement and managing 25 different warrant officer specialties within the 8th TSC. 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.

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.

Just finished this Command Performance outfit for the new integrity Jem. The bodice is PVC and the skirt is made up of three layers: metallic spandex on the bottom, sheer shiny nylon in the middle and light purple tulle on the top. Her bow attaches to her head with a clear elastic band and her jewelry is handmade with glass beads. I re-used the tights from her starlight outfit. Really pleased with how this turned out! I think I`ll make the turquoise version next. Going to be hard to find fishnet material in that color though...

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.”
