Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

The B-47 was designed as a post World War II jet powered intercontinental strategic bomber. It was the first jet bomber to utilize a swept wing design, bicycle landing gear and was the first jet bomber ordered in large quantities. The underside of all aircraft was painted white to deflect the heat of nuclear explosions. Boeing designers tested fifty different engine positions before finally placing them. Modified B-47's served into the 1960's as electronic warfare aircraft. B-47's flew from March Field from 1953 to 1963.
The B-47 at the March Field Museum is an E model serial number 53-2275. It was manufactured by Boeing Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas and delivered to the air force on 14 February 1955. Over its career it was assigned to the Strategic Air Command and based at Andersen Air Base on Guam and at March Air Force Base. It flew with the 303rd, 40th and 22nd Bombardment Wings and the 2881st Air Defense Division. The aircraft was retired from Air Force service in 1964.
A cutaway of a movie set mockup of a B-47 fuselage is inside the museum. This was used for a movie starring Jimmy Stewart.
The museum's B-47E was retrieved from the China Lake Naval/ Air Weapons Station and brought to the museum in pieces and reassembled in 1988. It was delivered to the March Field Museum in January 1988. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.
According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's B-47E has the following history:
B-47E, s/n 53-2275, was manufactured by Boeing Aircraft, Wichita KS and delivered to the USAF on 14 Feb 1955. It served in the following locations:
Feb - 1955 To 303th Bombardment (M) Wing (SAC), Davis-Monthan AFB AZ

Camp Humphreys welcomes new commander
By Cpl. Han, Jae-ho
USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS – Soldiers, civilians and Family members welcomed the United States Army Garrison Humphreys' new commander, Col. Darin S. Conkright, during a ceremony, here, July 11.
Conkright replaces Col. Joseph P. Moore, who is retiring from the United States Army after 27 years of distinguished service.
Before the change of command, in a separate ceremony, Moore was presented with the Legion of Merit by Debra D. Zedalis, the Pacific Region director of Installation Management Command. His wife, Molly, received three awards: the 8th United States Army Helping Hands Award; the Dr. Mary E. Walker Award; and the Commander’s Award for Public Service.
During the ceremony, Moore expressed his appreciation to his family, fellow Soldiers, the community, Korean guests and the United States Army.
“To our guests from nearby towns, our Korean military colleagues, and our Korean employees, I extend special thanks for the friendship and hospitality you have extended to me over the past four years,” he said. “I leave my command and my Army career with a deep gratitude for the opportunities they have provided.”
Zedalis congratulated Moore on his success as the garrison commander.
“Under his leadership, Humphreys has transformed from an installation populated primarily by single and unaccompanied Soldiers, on one-year assignments, to an installation where many more military Families live for two and three-year tours,” Zedalis said. “He also has led the single largest construction program in the Department of Defense, and the garrison’s support of the 8th United States Army and all tenant units has been nothing short of top notch.”
Zedalis also extended a welcome to the incoming commander and his Family.
“You are inheriting a great garrison team that will support you one hundred percent,” she said. “I know you will find your new assignment both professionally rewarding and personally enriching.”
Conkright expressed his enthusiasm as a new commander.
“I look forward to working with each and every one of you to ensure Camp Humphreys continues to be a great place to live, work and serve,” he said.
Conkright joined the Army in 1989, and has had a number of duty assignments at Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Washington DC, and in Europe. At Fort Campbell, he commanded ODA 522 and served as the Battalion Assistant S-3. In Washington DC, he served as an assignments officer in the US Army PERSCOM’s Special Management Division. His most recent assignment was the Chief of Staff for the NATO Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ) in Mons, Belgium.
He received a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps commission and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky. His advanced education includes a Masters of Business Administration and a Masters in Healthcare Management. Conkright is a graduate of the Army Command and General Staff College and his awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. His badges include the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, and the Master Parachutist Badge.

Dedicated to RAF Coastal Command
A relief carving in light grey Carrara marble depicts the sky and sea, with the sky overlaying an outline of the world set above a breaking sea and separated by a horizon line (of great importance to flyers). An eagle at top left symbolises mastery of the skies. Cut in the wall below is the badge of Coastal Command and motto "Constant Endeavour" with the inscription:
Remember the sacrifice & constant endeavour in defence of freedom of the men and women of Royal Air Force Coastal Command, their successors & their comrades in the Commonwealth, Allied and overseas squadrons
The memorial was carved by Neil and Richard Talbot and the artistic adviser was Sir Philip Dowson of the Maritime Air Trust. The span is approximately eight feet. A roll of honour is displayed in a case in the nave of the Abbey.
It was unveiled to mark the 60th anniversary in 2003 of the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War. Just over half of the sinkings of German U-boats were due to Coastal Command and it located the battleship Bismarck which was then sunk by the Royal Navy. Photo-reconnaissance and meteorological flights were also an important part of their role as well as air-sea rescue. Their zone of operations was vast, from Iceland to Gibraltar and the Azores as well as other overseas commands from the Arctic to the southern oceans. Four Victoria Crosses were won by aircrew and 10,875 lives were lost. Since the Second World War Coastal Command and its successor formations have operated in conflicts in Korea, Malaysia, the Falklands and the Gulf.
[Westminster Abbey]
In the South Cloister of Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey (The Collegiate Church of St Peter)
In the 1040s King Edward (later St Edward the Confessor) established his royal palace by the banks of the river Thames on land known as Thorney Island. Close by was a small Benedictine monastery founded under the patronage of King Edgar and St Dunstan around 960A.D. This monastery Edward chose to re-endow and greatly enlarge, building a large stone church in honour of St Peter the Apostle. This church became known as the "west minster" to distinguish it from St Paul's Cathedral (the east minster) in the City of London. Unfortunately, when the new church was consecrated on 28th December 1065 the King was too ill to attend and died a few days later. His mortal remains were entombed in front of the High Altar.
The only traces of Edward's monastery to be seen today are in the round arches and massive supporting columns of the undercroft and the Pyx Chamber in the cloisters. The undercroft was originally part of the domestic quarters of the monks. Among the most significant ceremonies that occurred in the Abbey at this period was the coronation of William the Conqueror on Christmas day 1066, and the "translation" or moving of King Edward's body to a new tomb a few years after his canonisation in 1161.
Edward's Abbey survived for two centuries until the middle of the 13th century when King Henry III decided to rebuild it in the new Gothic style of architecture. It was a great age for cathedrals: in France it saw the construction of Amiens, Evreux and Chartres and in England Canterbury, Winchester and Salisbury, to mention a few. Under the decree of the King of England, Westminster Abbey was designed to be not only a great monastery and place of worship, but also a place for the coronation and burial of monarchs. This church was consecrated on 13th October 1269. Unfortunately the king died before the nave could be completed so the older structure stood attached to the Gothic building for many years.
Every monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned in the Abbey, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII (who abdicated) who were never crowned. The ancient Coronation Chair can still be seen in the church.
It was natural that Henry III should wish to translate the body of the saintly Edward the Confessor into a more magnificent tomb behind the High Altar in his new church. This shrine survives and around it are buried a cluster of medieval kings and their consorts including Henry III, Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, Richard II and Anne of Bohemia and Henry V.
There are around 3,300 burials in the church and cloisters and many more memorials. The Abbey also contains over 600 monuments, and wall tablets – the most important collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the country. Notable among the burials is the Unknown Warrior, whose grave, close to the west door, has become a place of pilgrimage. Heads of State who are visiting the country invariably come to lay a wreath at this grave.
A remarkable new addition to the Abbey was the glorious Lady chapel built by King Henry VII, first of the Tudor monarchs, which now bears his name. This has a spectacular fan-vaulted roof and the craftsmanship of Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano can be seen in Henry's fine tomb. The chapel was consecrated on 19th February 1516. Since 1725 it has been associated with the Most Honourable Order of the Bath and the banners of the current Knights Grand Cross surround the walls. The Battle of Britain memorial window by Hugh Easton can be seen at the east end in the Royal Air Force chapel. A new stained glass window above this, by Alan Younger, and two flanking windows with a design in blue by Hughie O'Donoghue, give colour to this chapel.
Two centuries later a further addition was made to the Abbey when the western towers (left unfinished from medieval times) were completed in 1745, to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Little remains of the original medieval stained glass, once one of the Abbey's chief glories. Some 13th century panels can be seen in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries. The great west window and the rose window in the north transept date from the early 18th century but the remainder of the glass is from the 19th century onwards. The newest stained glass is in The Queen Elizabeth II window, designed by David Hockney.
History did not cease with the dissolution of the medieval monastery on 16th January 1540. The same year Henry VIII erected Westminster into a cathedral church with a bishop (Thomas Thirlby), a dean and twelve prebendaries (now known as Canons). The bishopric was surrendered on 29th March 1550 and the diocese was re-united with London, Westminster being made by Act of Parliament a cathedral church in the diocese of London. Mary I restored the Benedictine monastery in 1556 under Abbot John Feckenham.
But on the accession of Elizabeth I the religious houses revived by Mary were given by Parliament to the Crown and the Abbot and monks were removed in July 1559. Queen Elizabeth I, buried in the north aisle of Henry VII's chapel, refounded the Abbey by a charter dated 21 May 1560 as a Collegiate Church exempt from the jurisdiction of archbishops and bishops and with the Sovereign as its Visitor. Its Royal Peculiar status from 1534 was re-affirmed by the Queen and In place of the monastic community a collegiate body of a dean and prebendaries, minor canons and a lay staff was established and charged with the task of continuing the tradition of daily worship (for which a musical foundation of choristers, singing men and organist was provided) and with the education of forty Scholars who formed the nucleus of what is now Westminster School (one of the country's leading independent schools). In addition the Dean and Chapter were responsible for much of the civil government of Westminster, a role which was only fully relinquished in the early 20th century.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hundreds of service members and veterans accompanied by their friends and loved ones gathered at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando Dec. 16, 2017 to celebrate the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)’s inaugural Maj. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat Victory Ball.
Previously dubbed the Lt. Gen. (Retired) Jack C. Stultz Military Ball, Stultz and the 143d ESC command team agreed to rename the ball in honor of Espaillat, a former 143d ESC commanding general who passed away April 8 while assigned as general officer support for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
“Espaillat was a friend, leader and inspiration to us all,” said Brig. Deborah L. Kotulich, commanding general, 143d ESC. “We are honored that his family accepted our invitation to join us as we dedicate this evening to a fine Soldier, model citizen and loving father who served his adopted nation with distinction for nearly 35 years.”
The Ball featured several distinguished guests to include Kotulich and Command Sgt. Maj. Carlos Lopes, command sergeant major, 143d ESC. Seated next to them was Maj. Gen. Steven W. Ainsworth, commanding general, 377th Theater Sustainment Command.
The evening presented a unique opportunity for Soldiers and civilian employees assigned throughout the Command’s vast area of operations don their suits, gowns or dress uniforms and surround themselves with new and familiar faces in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The guests upheld American military tradition by conducting classic ceremonial functions such as the presentation of the colors, singing the national anthem, and offering toasts dedicated to the Soldiers, families and fallen heroes of the United States Army.
Pride and patriotism gave way to somber reflection when a spotlight pierced the dim ballroom to illuminate a small candlelight dinner table that epitomized all American prisoners of war as well as the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Lopes concluded the melancholy affair when he silently marched to the table of Margaret Good Espaillat, widow of the late Francisco Espaillat. Lopes led the Gold Star Mother to the POW and Fallen Soldier Table where together they lit the lone candle that would flicker brightly for the remainder of the evening.
Ainsworth and Kotulich took their turns at the podium to express their gratitude to the people who planned, organized, sponsored and supported the event. The commanding generals also commended their guests for their service, support and sacrifice as the 143d ESC prepares for next year’s deployment.
“All of us look up to someone, and someone always looks up to us,” said Ainsworth. “Your words and actions can very well change the course of another’s life. Demonstrate the qualities that you expect from your mentors, and take the time to ‘take a knee’ by spending quality time with your friends and family. Without their love and support, the Army Reserve would simply cease to exist.”
The Ball officially concluded with a hardy rendition of the Army Song and a rhythmic performance of the “Atropia Rap,” an original ballad penned by the command’s support operations team during an intense, three-week training exercise at Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pa. The departure of the official party did not deter many guests from remaining in the ballroom to take photos, show off their favorite dance moves, or share fond memories with old friends while sipping their favorite beverage.
“This event personifies the 143d ESC,” said Kotulich. “This command is more than a premiere logistics unit. It’s a community of caring individuals dedicated to the success of its Soldiers and their families.”

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (Feb. 4, 2015) - Members of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, 611th Civil Engineer Squadron, and U.S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage and Diving set up the rope mop skimmer during an Arctic oil spill response exercise. A trench is dug a certain depth in the ice and holes are drilled to allow the oil/product to rise up into the trench to be collected. The skimmer rotates through the trench collecting the oil and sends it to a holding tank. The units participated in the exercise to learn Arctic spill response tactics and techniques.

So I did the switch to Mac a few months ago, and I'm loving it. Here's a macro shot of the backlit Apple Command Key (Macbook Pro keyboard).
