PALM BAY, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) welcomed thousands of participants and spectators to the 2016 Tough Mudder Challenge Nov. 5, 2016, in Palm Bay, Fla.
Hailing from the Headquarters and Headquarters Company and the 196th Transportation in Company in Orlando, the troops inspired challengers to complete an 11-mile course lined with more than 20 obstacles that tested individual strength, stamina and resiliency in a team-building atmosphere. Their interactive engagements among typically young, athletic and energetic individuals help bolster recruitment initiatives orchestrated by the Army Marketing Research Group.
As dawn’s sunlight pierced through palm trees to illuminate The Compound, an undeveloped patch of Palm Bay made popular by paint ball players, off-road riders and remote control plane enthusiasts, the 143rd ESC Soldiers took their posts near the registration tables to greet their colorfully dressed guests and distribute eye blacks emblazoned with the U.S. Army logo.
While the competitors affixed their complimentary glare reduction stickers to their faces, the troops gathered at the starting line to cheer the first wave of veteran Tough Mudders eager to enter the gauntlet. The thousands of high fives, hundreds of handshakes and dozens of fist pumps exchanged between the Soldiers and competitors climaxed with an emotional rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner performed by Sgt. 1st Class Randall B. Wight, a vocalist from the U.S. Army Field Band. As Wight blared the last note, the competitors yelled a defying, “Hooah,” before charging across the starting line to commence their 11-mile trek strewn with uniquely designed obstacles boasting mud, ropes, slides, tunnels and even live electrical wires.
Some Soldiers stood fast at the starting line to cheer on the continuous waves of competitors, while others boarded Gator all-terrain vehicle bound for the Berlin Wall, an Army Reserve sponsored obstacle erected near the 9-mile marker. The Wall lived up to its name with two, 10-foot high wooden structures designed to reinforce teamwork rather than bolster brute force. One by one, the Soldiers encouraged hundreds of exhausted Tough Mudders to help their fellow competitors climb over the slippery incline. Several troops even inspired some participants to perform pushups before and after their encounter with the Berlin Wall.
The positive interactions between the 143rd ESC Soldiers and their gritty guests enticed hundreds of Tough Mudders to visit the Go Army Reserve interactive display. Many tapped into their nearly sapped strength and stamina to complete a fitness challenge that comprised pushups, pull-ups and a sled pull. The fitness challenge also opened opportunities for U.S. Army Reserve recruiters to speak with Tough Mudders who expressed interest in pushing their mental and physical limits while serving their country.
The 143rd ESC will return to The Compound for the second and final day of the Tough Mudder Challenge to continue motivate, congratulate and educate the Tough Mudder community.

A prototype rover is commanded to drive in Cueva de Los Verdes lava tube in Spain’s Canary Island of Lanzarote, also known as the island of a thousand volcanoes.
The ENTERN experiment focuses on testing a robotic system for exploration of rough surfaces such as caves or craters.
The project is run by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
The robot can operate autonomously, but will also use tele-operation feedback from the astronauts.
When the rover is navigating it is constantly building an internal 3D model of the environment. One of the goals of this test is to improve the autonomous capabilities of the rover in the complex lava tube environment.
This type of settings are potential candidates to host human habitats in future missions to the Moon and Mars.
The rover is taking part in a test campaign that brings together geology, high-tech survey equipment and space exploration. For five days to 24 November 2017, Pangaea-X is mobilising 50 people, four space agencies and 18 organisations in five different locations.

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.”
