PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - The 641st Regional Support Group, an Army Reserve logistics and transportation brigade based in St. Petersburg, Fla., conducted a Best Warrior Competition and Officer Challenge Jan. 24 at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla.
Both competitions took place during the final full day of Operation Responsive Sentinel, a sustainment training and disaster relief field exercise comprising approximately 20 units and 900 Soldiers. Resolve Sentinel's operational and tactical missions at Port Canaveral, Patrick AFB and the Air Force's Malabar Transmitter Annex offered numerous opportunities for the troops to apply their military and civilian skills to plan, organize and execute objectives on land and sea.
The Best Warrior Competition featured six enlisted Soldiers representing several companies and battalions attached to the 641st RSG. The half-dozen men and women faced off in a various warrior-oriented tasks ranging from a written exam and sergeants major interview board to a ruck march and a rifle and pistol qualification round.
The top two competitors will represent the 641st RSG in the 143d Sustainment Command
(Expeditionary)'s Best Warrior Competition planned for March 9-13 at Camp Blanding, Fla.
While specialists and sergeants shot, sang, ran and marched their way to the finish line, scores of junior officers formed at Patrick AFB's Education and Training Center to test their strength, dexterity, memory and morale in the 641st RSG's officer challenge. Teams of five officers competed at six unique
stations spread along a six-mile route. The challenge began with map reading and rank recognition events, continued with casualty evacuation scenario and a ethical dilemma, and concluded with a physical challenge and rifle marksmanship.

Blytheville Air Force Base aka Eaker Air Force Base.
I think it is lost on most Americans that the first time a B-52 was used in actually live combat was in Vietnam and it was the only time a B-52 was lost to enemy fire.
Fifteen B-52s were lost during the 1972 Linebacker II Christmas bombings and three of those B-52s originated from the 97th Bombardment Wing assigned to Blytheville Air Force Base; B 52G 58-0201 "Charcoal 1" went down on the 18th, B 52G 58-0198 "Olive 1" and B 52G 58-0169 "Tan 3" were shot down on the 21st. Airmen from the 97th Bombardment Wing lost their lives and their photos appear on the lonely memorial at their abandoned base in Blytheville; Lt Col Keith R Heggen was in "Olive1", (now buried at Arlington Nat'l Cemetery) Lt Col Donald L Rissi, 1st LT Robert J Thomas and Msgt Walter L Ferguson were in "Charcoal 1" Major Bobby A Kirby, Capt Randall J Craddock, Capt George B Lockhart, Capt Ronald D Perry and 1st Lt Charles E Darr were in "Tan 3". These three 97th BW aircraft were stationed and flown out of Anderson AFB, Guam, as part of the 72nd Strategic Wing (Provisional).
Chief Constable Stephen Watson formally opened our new Tactical Aid Unit (TAU) base in Leigh on Friday 3 February 2023.
Part of TAU has been relocated to provide a better public service in the north and west of the force area, with officers stationed there to allow increased visibility as well as improving the response to crime and anti-social behaviour in the area.
Mr. Watson attended the launch with senior GMP and TAU officers, and MPs James Grundy and Yvonne Fovargue.
Mr. Watson said: “Being able to respond to incidents and emergencies as effectively as we can is at the very heart of GMP.
“Having the TAU based in the north of the force area means we can better serve our communities and keep people safe.
“Operations and critical incidents are the bread and butter of the TAU. They are the team with the specialist skills and knowledge that can support our people and keep them safe.
“This move also shows the commitment we have to ensuring GMP is a force that is attractive to officers from other areas who may be looking for a move.
"It is my absolute pleasure to open this base in Leigh which will allow us more effectively to fight, prevent, and reduce crime.”
TAU carries out high-profile disruption and enforcement, targeting serious, organised, and high-impact crime. The team have specialist skills and are deployed wherever they are needed most, including dealing with public order, tackling organised crime, managing large events, and providing specialist search capabilities.
Chief Superintendent Emily Higham, GMP's Wigan District Commander, said: "TAU are specialist officers who can support Wigan and Leigh with search warrants, trouble hotspots and public disorder.
"They will also be visible in the area and their geographical location which means they will be able to respond more quickly to incidents and support our local officers. I am delighted they have moved into the borough."
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

Here it is! This is my WIP zombie-proof base. Right now, I have no name for it, but I will soon. It's hard to take a picture of something this large. :P

Nike Missile Base DF-50 was built in 1959 in Johnson County, Texas south of the Dallas and Fort Worth metro area near Alvarado. The base was one of four air defense bases constructed during the Cold War era to defend the Dallas-Fort Worth area (DF) in the event of Soviet aircraft attacks. The Dallas-Fort Worth area was vital to United States security because of the presence of defense industries and Carswell Air Force Base, home to strategic Bomb Groups and Wings. Nike Missile Base DF-50 was decommission in 1969.
The structure was the remains of a radar support stand at the former Integrated Fire Control Site of Nike Missile Base DF-50. The fence is of more recent vintage.

On an overcast Sunday afternoon Claudia and I headed out to the Marin Headlands for the Headland Center for the Arts Summer Open House (always fun.) After touring the studios and a tasty lunch in the HCA galley we headed out to take some photographs. We elected to visit Batteries Smith-Guthrie and O’Rorke, Endicott-era gun emplacements on the coastal ridge at the southern end of Rodeo Beach. Battery Smith-Guthrie once boasted four six-inch, rapid-fire guns on barbette mounts while Battery O’Rorke had four three-inch guns. Both defended minefields north of the Golden Gate. Winds were light for this time of year at around 10-12 MPH. The Sutton Flowform 30 proved adequate for my new Canon EOS-M cradle.
I have photographed these batteries before and given the dull overcast I did not expect much new out of this session. The highlight for me was a series of very low level KAP shots (< 6 feet high) taken at Battery O’Rorke just after I launched the cradle following a few adjustments. Like many of the other Endicott-period batteries, Battery O’Rorke is slowly returning to the earth. In this low level series your can see the blast apron slightly separating from its adjacent concrete paving with a neat line of opportunistic grass accenting the gap. I have read in old c. 1890’s reports the mention of “granolithing,” a form of concrete pour that mixes cement with crushed granite aggregate. These photographs have me wondering if the smoother surface is granolith.
It is pleasant spending time around Batteries Smith-Guthrie and O’Rorke. They command sweeping views of the northern approach to the Golden Gate – an asset for Sunday picnics as well as harbor defense. The kite flying was fun and the session yielded some useable photographs. Altogether an afternoon well spent.
