LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — The 79th Sustainment Support Command officially opened its new 53,000 square-foot headquarters facility on Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos Jan. 12.
Hosting fellow Soldiers, civic leaders and community members was Maj. Gen. William D. Frink, Jr., 79th SSC commander.
"The structure behind me... is proof positive of U.S. Army commitment to our Army Reserve Soldiers," said Frink. "Our new home represents $29 million worth of construction in Southern California. This is tangible recognition of the Army Reserve as an indispensable force to our Nation."
For a sustainable future, Corps projects like this one are designed using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program. LEED is how the U.S. Green Building Council rates a project for its design and achievement in categories like sustainability, water efficiency, energy conservation and design innovation.
"We demonstrate care for our community by ensuring we are good stewards of our environment," said Frink. "The building behind me is LEED Gold. It optimizes energy performance and was built with regional material to cut down on our carbon footprint. It has low water consumption and uses both renewable energy and recycled material."
Even the covered parking lots are an energy feature. Covered in a photo voltaic system that, according to Edward Desmond of Cox Construction of Vista, Calif., will produce 375 KVA [kilovolt-amps], generating enough power to offset the building's consumption on the Los Alamitos power grid.
The 79th SSC commands approximately 20,000 Army Reserve Soldiers and civilians across 19 states located west of the Mississippi River. By all accounts, this state-of-the-art facility is well equipped to enhance mission readiness and family well-being for such a geographically dispersed unit.
"I think it helps to build camaraderie," said Ann Nacino, Youth Services specialist. "It helps to build that connection with the Soldiers and civilians that support the command full time."
"This building tends to be a beacon for family members of all different services," said Sherry Rallis, Family Readiness community outreach assistant. "We really enjoy, as staff, collaborating with each other and welcoming family members and Soldiers that now have direct access to us, all in the same building."

I've tried both of their beers now and while they're both fairly tasty the lack the body of many of beers I now prefer to drink. With that being said, probably a great beer to match with food (lighter flavours and citrus notes)
their website says: "Two Birds Golden Ale is brewed using ale, wheat and Vienna malts. It is bittered with New Zealand Southern Cross hops while Motueka and Australian Summer hops are used for aroma. Motueka contributes melon and citrus aromas and flavours, while Summer contributes spice and apricot notes"

Mass Ceremony Honors Those Who Reenlist

SCHWEINFURT, Germany — At the beginning of the fiscal year the 172nd Support Battalion (SB) likes to jump start reenlistment with a mass reenlistment ceremony. At the Finney Gym on Conn Barracks, thirty-six Soldiers rededicated themselves to serving the Army during a mass re-up ceremony Oct 3.
There were several reasons for the extravagant reenlistment, but namely the battalion wanted to take care of the Soldiers PCSing within the month and beyond before they relocate to their next duty stations where they might face a different set of rules for reenlistment. Additionally, the battalion considered the stringent United State Army drawdown in effect.
“We wanted to make sure we identified qualified Soldiers who aspired to stay in the Army, get these Soldiers reenlisted as soon as possible, and thus alleviate the stress of the unknown concerning their military careers from them and their families,” said Sgt. 1st Class Melvin Rowe, the 172nd SB’s Retention Officer, who’s reenlisted almost 200 Soldiers during his two and half years with the 172nd SB.
Typically, the spouse is a backdrop of some sort during a traditional reenlistment formation and somewhat forgotten about. However, spouses of those who reenlisted were honored during the ceremony.
“We wanted to take the time throughout the reenlistment to show the spouses that this Chain of Command really appreciates what spouses do and the sacrifices they make because they truly deserve that honor,” said Rowe. “Where they are often rearing and caring for the children as a single parent, bearing the responsibly of long work hours, and enduring the burden of deployments.”
The 172nd Infantry Brigade Commander, Col. Edward Bohnemann, eagerly supported the 172nd SB as he made a trip from Grafenwöhr, where he is situated, for the observance.
Hundreds of people and vehicles created an hours-long traffic jam on State Street into the Chicago Loop from 26th Street near the South Loop. It was an inspiring event with a diverse group of people including a large showing of Caucasians who peacefully affirmed that black lives matter in a system that disproportionately harms the latter.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.
