444th MPAD
New Jersey Army National Guard
After high intensity training under the Fort Indiantown Gap sun, and nights spent trekking through the woods and over the hills of western Pennsylvania, New Jersey has awarded eight soldiers with the Expert Infantry Badge, one of the highest prizes an infantryman can earn.
On day one of the competition, 40 soldiers from all over New Jersey had eyes on the badge. However, as each event came to an end, so did the hopes of some candidates.
“It’s called the Expert Infantry Badge for a reason,” said 1st Sgt. Brian Townsend, the president of the committee that organized EIB 21. “The thing that knocked most people out was the small details. It’s not the Everybody Infantry Badge. It’s the Expert Infantry Badge.”
This particular expert infantry competition returns to New Jersey with brand new feel.
In previous EIB competitions, candidates displayed their warrior competence in a round-robin fashion, with each of the 40 events being timed.
In EIB 21, there are fewer events to complete, however, it is now done in a combat setting, adding a completely new element to the process.
“When the blood got pumping and the adrenaline was flowing, it made it more difficult to execute the tasks that you’re sure you know how to do,” said newly minted EIB recipient 1st Lt. Andrew Stevens of HHC 1/114th. “With the amount of preparation I put in to this, it was all muscle memory, but the combat element made it a bit more difficult.”
Though difficult, it did not stop Stevens from enjoying the tasks.
“The lanes were my favorite part,” he said. “Once we got passed the preparation, I had a really good time.”
Preparation was a huge part of EIB 21.
When the day was over and all of the competitors gathered for dinner, normal chow chatter was nowhere to be found. Instead, tips for the next day’s event feverishly bounced off the walls. Terms like left and right limit, call for fire, SALUTE report, check for shock and SPORTS filled the dining facility, leaving little room to discuss anything else. It sounded like these soldiers just stepped off of the battlefield.
That is what the planning committee intended.
“In the old style, you didn’t get as much battle field experience, but it was a little harder,” Townsend said. “But the EIB 21 adds the element of combat stress to make it more challenging.”
That new level of stress was felt prior to each event.
“Everyone was nervous before the lanes,” said Cpt. Timothy Sorrentino, commander of HHC 1/114th and EIB recipient. “Doing all of the tasks over and over again prior to the competition was easy. But, executing them under the pressure situation was different.”
Sgt. Thomas Fisk, EIB 21 staff and trainer, said this is how soldiers of today should be learning.
“It’s good that they see a scenario and it’s battle focused,” he said. “They know what they are supposed to do with their training and can immediately incorporate it with their mission.”
Fisk enjoyed this opportunity to teach soldiers skills needed to earn the prestigious badge that he received several years prior.
“I like to teach younger guys, any of the soldiers coming up,” the Neptune City native said. “That way, when they get to be sergeants, they can teach the guys coming up. That way we can have a better Army for the future.”
The future is something that Townsend is also looking toward.
“We wanted something to build from since this is the first time we are running EIB 21,” he said. “We mirrored a lot of what was going on at Fort Benning. What I wanted to do was give the state something to build off of, so we can make this competition something great for the state.”
Sorrentino expects a number of his soldiers to take part in next year’s event.
“It’s something that every infantryman should have,” the commander said, a sentiment that all infantrymen at competing at FIG echoed.

………………………………………………………………………
This is a photographic story of mine, a little late, it's not something new that I'm posting late, they are photographs taken at the beginning of August this year, during the week of summer holidays spent with my family, in a pleasant holiday village in Ionian Calabria, near Le Castella, a hamlet of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, in the province of Crotone: sun and kilometre-long beaches where you can take long, extremely relaxing walks, beaches that seem to have remained intact since the dawn of time with a coastline that has a few anthropized, incorporated in the village there is a kitesurfing sports club attended by very good and very nice boys and girls, expert male and female athletes, who I thank for allowing me to take photographs of both their performances and their portraits. The area was characterized by a completely sandy seabed, free of dangerous rocks, and by the almost constant presence of wind which, as if by magic, appeared punctually in the afternoon, ideal for practicing this beautiful and fascinating sport. The village offers canoes and pedal boats for anyone who wants to experience the sea beyond the shore. All idyllic then... and yet, and yet... during my very long morning walk in search of some "photographic situation", I meet a very kind gentleman with a fishing rod, with whom I chat for a while, it was atrocious to hear from him... of the massacre of the migrants who died on the beach of Steccato di Cutro, I didn't know we were near that beach, the fisherman told me that three of the bodies recovered in that very sad shipwreck were found right on the same beach where we were talking: the shipwreck had occurred on the night between 25 and 26 February 2023, it was a gulet that left Turkey. News from 18 April of this year 2023 is that the deaths of the massacre of migrants in Steccato di Cutro, in the province of Crotone, were confirmed to be 94, including 35 minors, around eighty were the survivors, the precise number of the dead it is not known, since it is unknown how many passengers were on board the shipwrecked boat, even if, according to testimonies, there were at least 180 migrants on the boat. Learning that those places so full of beauty, serenity, joy... had been the scene of that terrible tragedy, was a reason for personal reflection and meditation... people who died not only at the bottom of the sea, but also who died burned under the sun violent desert in an attempt to reach the starting points located on the African coast, and then reach Sicily or Calabria. For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the moment of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being blurry because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -blurred-imprecise-undecided...the Anglo-Saxon term that encompasses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, a posteriori, during the post-production.
Un mio racconto fotografico questo, un po’ in ritardo, non è una novità che io posti in ritardo, sono fotografie realizzate l’inizio di agosto di quest’anno, durante la settimana di ferie estive trascorsa insieme alla mia famiglia, in un ameno villaggio vacanze della Calabria Ionica, vicino Le Castella, frazione di Isola di Capo Rizzuto, in provincia di Crotone: sole e spiagge chilometriche dove fare lunghissime passeggiate estremamente rilassanti, spiagge che sembrano essere rimaste intatte dalla notte dei tempi con una costa poco antropizzata, inglobato nel villaggio un club sportivo di kitesurf frequentato da bravissimi e simpaticissimi ragazzi e ragazze, esperti atleti ed atlete, che ringrazio per avermi concesso di realizzare fotografie sia delle loro esibizioni, sia dei loro ritratti. La zona era caratterizzata dal fondale completamente sabbioso, privo di pericolose rocce, e dalla quasi costante presenza di vento che, come per magia, si presentava puntuale nel pomeriggio, ideale per praticare questo bellissimo ed affascinante sport. Il villaggio mette a disposizione canoe e pedalò per chiunque voglia vivere il mare oltre il bagnasciuga. Tutto idilliaco quindi…eppure, eppure…durante una mia lunghissima passeggiata mattutina alla ricerca di qualche “situazione fotografica”, conosco un gentilissimo signore con una canna da pesca, col quale mi intrattengo a conversare un po’, atroce è stato sapere da lui…della strage dei migranti morti sulla spiaggia di Steccato di Cutro, non sapevo ci trovassimo nelle vicinanze di quella spiaggia, il pescatore mi disse che tre dei corpi recuperati in quel tristissimo naufragio, furono trovati proprio sulla stessa spiaggia dove stavamo parlando: il naufragio era avvenuto nella notte tra il 25 ed il 26 febbraio 2023, era un caicco partito dalla Turchia. Notizia del 18 aprile di quest’anno 2023 è che i morti della strage di migranti a Steccato di Cutro, in provincia di Crotone, sono risultati essere accertati 94, tra cui 35 minori, una ottantina sono risultati i sopravvissuti, il numero preciso dei morti non si conosce, poiché è ignoto quanti passeggeri fossero a bordo del barcone naufragato, anche se, secondo le testimonianze, c’erano sul barcone almeno 180 migranti. Venire a conoscenza che quei luoghi così carichi di bellezza, di serenità, di allegria… erano stati teatro di quella terribile tragedia, è stato motivo di personale raccoglimento e meditazione … persone morte non solo in fondo al mare, ma anche morte arse sotto il sole violento del deserto nel tentativo di raggiungere i luoghi di partenza siti sulla costa africana, per poi raggiungere la Sicilia o la Calabria. Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

After high intensity training under the Fort Indiantown Gap sun, and nights spent trekking through the woods and over the hills of western Pennsylvania, New Jersey has awarded eight soldiers with the Expert Infantry Badge, one of the highest prizes an infantryman can earn.

–Expertos apuestan por la gestión inteligente, sostenible y digital del sector portuario
•El presidente de Puertos del Estado advirtió de las repercusiones de la Revolución Industrial 4.0
•BlackToGreen Consulting se refirió al análisis inteligente de los datos ambientales
•Port de Barcelona compartió su experiencia como infraestructura inteligente
•Siemens presentó algunas de sus soluciones para el control del tráfico terrestre portuario
•T-Systems expuso de su caso de éxito en la gestión del puerto de Hamburgo
•Siport21 aportó la visión de los buques en las terminales portuarias
Madrid 23/01/2017. Puertos del Estado, Port de Barcelona, BlackToGreen Consulting , Siemens, T-System y Siport21 participaron en la ‘Jornada Smart Ports’, organizada por Executive Forum, que tuvo lugar en el Hotel Holiday Inn. Durante el evento, estas organizaciones compartieron con los asistentes sus experiencias y puntos de vista en lo que a la gestión inteligente de los puertos se refiere.
José Llorca, presidente de Puertos del Estado, inauguró el acto advirtiendo la necesidad de reflexionar acerca de un futuro próximo en el que “las cosas no van a ser como las conocemos ahora”. En este sentido, ha anunciado que estamos a las puertas de lo que “se podría llamar Revolución Industrial 4.0”, la cual conllevará unas consecuencias muy importantes en la economía, la sostenibilidad y la organización del trabajo. Según ha señalado Llorca, los puertos no serán ajenos a esta realidad que trae consigo una “economía smart, green y digital” y que, a su juicio, se basará en tres pilares fundamentales: las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, los nuevos modos de energía y los nuevos medios de transporte.
A continuación, Alejandro López Cortijo, socio director de BlackToGreen Consulting, presentó su compañía, que se ocupa del análisis inteligente de datos ambientales en entornos portuarios para velar por el crecimiento sostenible de los entornos urbanos. “En 2030 el 70% de la población mundial vivirá en grandes ciudades y las presiones ambientales y sociales serán cada vez mayores”, predijo, por lo que la gestión ambiental debería permanecer en continua actualización. La solución que esta empresa ofrece para ello se llama Envirosuite, una herramienta que aplica la inteligencia para la monitorización, el reporte y la modelización de la calidad del aire y del agua.
Catalina Payán Cuevas, subdirectora general de Organización y Recursos Internos del Port de Barcelona, fue la siguiente en participar para compartir la experiencia concreta de esta plataforma. “La comunidad portuaria, tal y como la entendemos, va a ser totalmente diferente. Tenemos que responder ágilmente a todos los cambios que se están produciendo en nuestro entorno”, aconsejó. En ese sentido, reconoció que su misión particular consiste en “contribuir a la competitividad de los clientes del Port mediante la prestación de servicios eficientes que respondan a sus necesidades de transporte marítimo”, por lo que centrarían esta estrategia en tres ejes fundamentales: sostenibilidad, competitividad y crecimiento.
Por su parte, Francisco Payán Cuevas, director comercial ITS Siemens España, presentó a los asistentes la idea que su compañía tiene acerca de cómo tendrían que ser los puertos del futuro. “Nuestra conclusión es que tendrán que ser unidades inteligentes, sostenibles, respetuosas con el medioambiente, eficientes…” entre otros aspectos, dijo coincidiendo con los demás ponentes. Según este concepto, Siemens ofrece soluciones para las distintas necesidades que puede presentar un puerto, entre las que Payán destacó algunas como la gestión eficiente del tráfico de los contenedores, la reducción de la huella de carbono o el control de los accesos de transporte a las terminales.
Kai Probst, de la División de Desarrollo de Negocio Digital de T-Systems, participó también para dar a conocer el caso de éxito de su compañía en la gestión del puerto de Hamburgo. Este proyecto, realizado conjuntamente con SAP, permitió la racionalización de operaciones para la integración logística de esta plataforma portuaria. “Cada puerto tiene el mismo desafío de cara al futuro, porque tiene que optimizar y crecer, ofreciendo más servicios dentro de un área limitada”. Básicamente, la solución que propusieron las dos compañías consistió en una herramienta que combinaba dos nubes que, a su vez, permitía visualizar y analizar los datos en tiempo real para coordinar el tráfico del puerto.
Finalmente, el director general de Siport21, José Ramón Iribarren, intervino para presentar su compañía. Desde la visión particular del buque, esta empresa ofrece cuatro tipos de actividades: apoyo al diseño de infraestructuras portuarias, análisis de operaciones, análisis de riesgos y formación a profesionales del sector. Así, “ofrecemos una herramienta smart para la gestión de operaciones náuticas, porque queremos dotar al gestor de un puerto de herramientas de decisión para la seguridad y eficiencia en lo que concierne al movimiento de los buques”. En definitiva, Iribarren admitió que todos estos avances pretenden trasladar al sector portuario “lo que ya hacemos en la vida real”, cuando somos capaces de gestionar la información en tiempo real, de un modo eficiente e individual.
