MALABAR, Fla. - Senior Army Reserve leaders from throughout the Southeast United States converged at several military installations on Florida's east coast to inspect approximately 900 Soldiers participating in a mobilization exercise (MOBEX) conducted by the 641st Regional Support Group (RSG).
Army Maj. Gen. Les Carroll, commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, and Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general of the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), boarded a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter operated by the Florida National Guard at Orlando International Airport the morning of Jan. 23. In less than 45 minutes, the two generals and their staff arrived at Patrick Air Force Base to meet more than a dozen Soldiers competing in the 641st RSG's Best Warrior Competition.
As the Best Warrior competitors prepared to take their places on the firing range, the generals proceeded to the Air Force's Malabar Training Annex. There, Army Col. Donald Absher, commander of the 641st RSG, along with dozens of senior officers at the company and battalion level briefed the generals on the numerous training events the 641st simultaneously conducted in three separate locations. Carroll and Espaillat saw firsthand the 641st RSG troops in action as they toured the site and spoke with junior Soldiers participating in field exercises ranging from driver's training to casualty evacuation.
The generals concluded their tour by awarding commander coins to several Soldiers who made major contributions toward MOBEX's planning, organization and implementation. Espaillat also awarded the Meritorious Service Medal to Army Capt. Julie Bowyer, the 641st RSG's chief of operations.
The 143rd ESC's commander even spared a couple minutes to meet the father and grandmother of Sgt. John Carkeet, a public affairs noncommissioned officer who provided photojournalism support for the MOBEX. The pair drove to Melbourne International Airport to see their son and grandson leave his hometown in typical Army fashion ... via Blackhawk.
Approximately a dozen convoys traveling as far as South Carolina arrived at Patrick Air Force Base, Port Canaveral and Malabar Jan. 22 to conduct this four-day field exercise that demonstrates the Army Reserve's transportation and logistics capabilities on land and sea. MOBEX will continue 24/7 operations until Jan. 25.

In less than 45 minutes, the two generals and their staff arrived at Patrick Air Force Base to meet more than a dozen Soldiers competing in the 641st RSG's Best Warrior Competition.
As the Best Warrior competitors prepared to take their places on the firing range, the generals proceeded to the Air Force's Malabar Training Annex. There, Army Col. Donald Absher, commander of the 641st RSG, along with dozens of senior officers at the company and battalion level briefed the generals on the numerous training events the 641st simultaneously conducted in three separate locations. Carroll and Espaillat saw firsthand the 641st RSG troops in action as they toured the site and spoke with junior Soldiers participating in field exercises ranging from driver's training to casualty evacuation.
The generals concluded their tour by awarding commander coins to several Soldiers who made major contributions toward MOBEX's planning, organization and implementation. Espaillat also awarded the Meritorious Service Medal to Army Capt. Julie Bowyer, the 641st RSG's chief of operations.
The 143rd ESC's commander even spared a couple minutes to meet the father and grandmother of Sgt. John Carkeet, a public affairs noncommissioned officer who provided photojournalism support for the MOBEX. The pair drove to Melbourne International Airport to see their son and grandson leave his hometown in typical Army fashion ... via Blackhawk.
Approximately a dozen convoys traveling as far as South Carolina arrived at Patrick Air Force Base, Port Canaveral and Malabar Jan. 22 to conduct this four-day field exercise that demonstrates the Army Reserve's transportation and logistics capabilities on land and sea. MOBEX will continue 24/7 operations until Jan. 25.
