Recent shift to AMC enables streamlined logistics services
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth

CAMP CASEY, SOUTH KOREA – The logisticians who look after Warrior Country’s transportation, maintenance and supply needs are now able to provide even more robust services thanks to a recent change that gives them broader, faster reach into the Army’s overall logistics network.
The U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Logistics ran the Central Issue Facility at Camp Hovey and the transportation motor pools that provide buses and vehicle maintenance in Warrior Country.
They did that as part of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, of which USAG Red Cloud and Area I is a part.
But, effective Oct. 1, all Army DOL assets shifted from IMCOM to the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is a global command that supports Army logistics worldwide.
The shift plugs in the DOL to AMC’s global logistics network.
And in Warrior Country, DOL is now part of the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade Area I, said DOL director Dennis Williams.
For Warrior Country customers, that’ll mean that when one of the 403rd AFSB’s facilities in Warrior Country runs low on an item – helmets or vehicle parts – for example, they can be shipped from another facility that does have them, even one in, say, Japan, Williams said.
The transition will not pose any confusion or inconvenience for DOL customers, he said.
“For Area I it will be transparent,” he said. “The services we did yesterday are the same services that we’ll do today and tomorrow.”
The Area I DOL marked the shift to AMC with a low-key patch-and-pin ceremony Oct. 3 at Camp Casey’s Carey Fitness Center.
There, DOL’s Soldiers traded in their seven-sided IMCOM patch for the shield-shaped AMC patch, while civilians received an AMC lapel pin.
“On behalf of the Army Materiel Command I want to welcome you to the new AMC family,” Col. Michael Lopez, commander of the 403rd AFSB, said during the ceremony.
For the more than 300 DOL Soldiers, Department of the Army Civilians and Korean civilians in Warrior Country, the 403rd AFSB is now their higher headquarters. But, they’re not alone. On Oct. 1, the 403rd also took command and control of all DOLs in Korea, Japan and Okinawa.
The changeover process was set in motion in March 2005 when the leadership of IMCOM and AMC decided to develop a logistics partnership to improve support to the Army and the Army’s transformation plan.

Suzanne will run a Community Management Workshop at WOMMA’s School of WOM conference, May 9-11

WOMMA: What are the essential internal procedures on the back end of a community that are needed to make it look great on the public side?
SM: One of the things that every brand should consider is developing a decision tree or strategic response plan so their community managers know exactly how to respond to every situation whether it’s positive or negative. Or in extreme cases, whether it needs to be escalated up to marketing or customer service. Having a decision tree in place makes it more efficient and easier for community managers to work. And that shows through on the public side of the community.
WOMMA: When you teach brands about community management, what are their main concerns and what do they need to learn the most before building a community team?
SM: One of the things I really emphasize is finding a voice. It’s really important for every brand to sound different. You wouldn’t want to look at one Facebook page and have it resemble 50 other brand pages and not be able to tell it apart in terms of culture, tone or focus. A distinct voice that is also authentic with the brand is critical.
WOMMA: I recently saw an infographic on the mind of the community manager by Get Satisfaction. What do you think the ideal community manager is like?
SM: They should be passionate about whatever brand they’re working with. Relating to the brand on a personal level really improves their work. They’ll speak to the community better. They’ll have a better voice.
They also have to be a good writer. Good writers can articulate the brands message properly. Obviously they shouldn’t be putting out spelling errors. It happens, but they shouldn’t be doing it.
A person who has that customer service and marketing mind combination is also good. They have to be okay with answering the same question over and over again. That’s the customer service side. The marketing side would find creative and authentic ways to work in the product into conversation.
WOMMA: What can attendees expect to take away from your Community Management session at School of WOM?
SM: We’ll cover the basics, but we’ll also speak about intermediate level strategies. We’re going to talk about the benefits of why you should have a community manager and how it can enhance your company. Then we’re going to dig deeper and explain what the day to day community management process looks like. They’ll learn how to make the job itself an efficient and streamlined process so it works for your company. And then run through a list tools that all community managers should know but probably have never heard of.
At the end of the day, community management is like being an ambassador for the company you represent—this session will equip attendees with some key insights which can help you represent your company effectively and authentically.

I was seriously short on time for holiday baking, coming back from an extended work trip in India. So I streamlined my holiday baking to just my signature Espresso Chocolate Chips Walnut Cookies.

Streamlined forms on this building are typical of the architectural style introduced at the Texas Centennial in 1936. The revolving neon sign is another art deco element.

The inspiration was the American steam locomotive 4-6-2 2906, but I believe that you will see another steam engine in my model :)

The evocative shape of the streamlined Typ C must have caused a sensation in 1937. Afterward, and especially in the post war period, the curves of this car found their way onto production cars. That's because this Auto Union was specially shaped for top speed on the Avus circuit near Berlin. At the time, it was the fastest track in the world.
In 1937, Avus was facing competition from the Norisring in Nuremberg. To garner more attention, the Avus' simple layout was extended to include a high speed 43° banked turn made from brick. This launched right onto the main straight, letting cars reach nearly 248.40 mph (400 kph).
The Internationales Avus Rennen main event was held and the organizers invited record-breaking cars from both Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz. Both companies developed their cars thoroughly and did multiple tests on Avus before the race. At the time, Avus was ultimate race track and also the most dangerous. Since there was no fence at the top of the curve, it got nicknamed the 'Wall of Death'. This didn't stop 18 brave drivers from entering the race and 300,000 to 400,000 people showed up for the fastest pre-war race ever run.
The race was split into three seven-lap sprints with grids of only six or eight cars. Four streamliners were included and evenly simple split between Mercedes and Auto Union. They raced alongside the regular-season Grand Prix cars. Naturally, the Streamliners had a distinct advantage on the two long straights at Avus but the GP cars had the edge on the joining curves. At the start, Caracciola in the Mercedes and Rosemeyer in the Auto Union had a great battle. This lasted until the last lap when they were side-by-side. In the end Caracciola won just 0.7 seconds in front of Rosemeyer.
The second heat was much faster, with Brauchitsch and Fagioli in dueling streamliners. Fagioli retired with transmissions problems which left Von Brauchitsch and Mercedes the easy win. The other Mercedes-Benz Streamliner of Herman Lang suffered a tire failure at speed and Lang was lucky to keep the car straight enough to survive.
The third and final heat decided the overall victor with a combined group from the first two races. Four Streamliners were entered Brauchitsch, Caracciola and Lang in Mercedes against Rosemeyer in the Auto Union. He didn't stand a chance since his V16 was only running on 13 cylinders and he was well outnumbered. Eventually, Lang went on the win entire event. This would be the only time someone would score a victory using the full track, as it was deemed to dangerous to repeat in 1938.
By 1937, Auto Union had been actively making streamlined record cars for three years. Their first attempt was with a long-tail Typ A and later a striking Rekordwagen Typ Lucca Coupe was made. Auto Union might have considered using these designs in a a normal Grand Prix race, but this never happened. A streamlined Typ D did show up at Reims for the 1938 French GP but crashed heavily during practice. This car might have had a shorter tail than the record car pictured above.
Unfortunately, the only record of these cars exists in pictures. A replica of 1937 Avus car was made to exact specification for Audi Tradition.

Looking a million dollars in her streamlined casing, LMS no. 46229 "Duchess of Hamilton" occupies the Great Hall in the National Railway Museum.
Just a run-down, but fascinating little bar. The facade is somewhat streamlined with glass block windows and a bit of surviving neon signage way up in the corner.

Streamlined C & O locomotive number 490 is one of the attractions at the B & O Railroad Museum at Baltimore, Maryland. This snapshot was taken on Wednesday morning, 17 July 2002.
I have always thought this was "streamline" without the extra "d" - lets see if this gets me on more searches now! I tried to improve the reflection, etc. on this old photo which I will show you tomorrow but this original may be just as poor or even better :>(
