DETACHMENT COMMANDER
The Outlaws
have been doing
a lot of things
this month that
deal with prepa-
ration. The Sol-
diers are prepar-
ing for the
change of com-
mand, the up-
coming field ex-
ercise, and their
futures in the
army. The Out-
laws are always
looking to the
future to make
sure they are
squared away
and ready for
what is to come.
Also this month
the Outlaws
were visited by
Branch Manager
MSG Reyes, Is-
rael. He is the
person that slots
all finance Sol-
diers for their
upcoming as-
signments. The
Outlaws learned
the process that
he uses and
what to expect
for future as-
signments as
well as tips for
how to land a
special duty as-
signment. The
Outlaws also
took time to re-
member the
past this month.
The very sad
event that took
place Septem-
ber 11th of
2001 will always
be remembered
in our hearts.
The attack on
the twin towers
is one of the
main reasons
that a lot of our
Soldiers decided
to become Sol-
diers.

1SG Fowler, Kristopher paid Alpha detachment a visit and con-
ducted a class while he was here. The class covered the proper
way to create and submit an NCOER (Non-Commissioned Officer
Evaluation Report). Soldiers of all ranks attended the class to
become familiar with the process, even though it may be a few
years before they actually need to process or be given one.
From start to finish 1SG Fowler covered each detail of the
NCOER and focused on the parts that Soldiers mess up on the
most. During his visit 1SG Fowler also looked over everyone’s
ERB and discussed changes that would be made to the military
education section. He explained how classes taken on-line no
longer qualify as residence courses and will be removed.

DSTS Training
AUG.15- SEP T.15
The Outlaws were privileged enough to visit the Dis-
mounted Solider Training System site twice this month.
The Outlaws always enjoy training at the DSTS because
they get real life tactical training without actually having to
draw weapons and go out into the field. Each Soldier
suited up in the electrical equipment and took part in the
virtual mission. They started off with familiarization and
then moved on to clearing buildings and a compound. The
Outlaws used squad movements to take out the armed en-
emy while keeping the unarmed civilian bystanders safe.
They also conducted another mission in the form of a ruck
march where they encountered the enemy on the road and
had to react to contact. Overall the training was a big suc-
cess.

The picture above shows what the Soldiers
see in their eye pieces. They use their own
bodies, equipment, and weapon to move the
one screen Soldier. If they want the avatar to
take a knee or get in the prone The Soldier
has to physically do this in real life. This sys-
tem is a lot more than modern video games.
Instead of run around and kill everyone the
system actually build scenarios using real life
locations to practice missions. The system
has features that don't exist for commercial
video games. Just like real life you have to
calibrate the weapon to your body and when
you die you avatar disappears instead of be-
ing given multiple lives over and over.
The Outlaws new commander has arrived in Germany. Even though he has not taken over
command of the detachment he is here getting himself adjust to Germany, In-Processing,
and getting lots of info from CPT Valdes and 1LT Park.

On Thursday, September 4th some of the Outlaws went
out to the motorpool. They looked at the inventory of all
the BII (basic issued items). The items are currently
signed for by CPT Valdes but CPT Baker will soon take
over responsibility of the items with the upcoming
change of command. The Outlaws ensured that every
item was were it was suppose to be and check the cur-
rent status of everything. A lot of people may think that
a change of command is pretty simple, but there are a
lot of important details like inventorying items that take
place each time.

As a part of Knight’s Activities the Outlaws con-
ducted an ASU (Army Service Uniform) inspection on
Friday, September 5th. The Outlaws modified and
prepared their uniforms all week so they would be
ready to look professional and show off all of their
awards. They also wanted to make sure that they
would be up to standard because SFC Cliett, Keven
inspected each and every Soldier’s uniform. While
conducting the inspection SFC Cliett also asked the
Soldiers questions covering a wide range of topics,
just like they would experience at the board. For a lot
of Soldiers this was their last ASU inspection as a
part of 106th FMSU and for other Soldiers it was
their very first one.

Getting ready for the field exercise later this month
the Outlaws took inventory of all CIF (Central Issuing
Facility) items for Soldiers E-4 and below. Each Sol-
der brought their clothing record and all of their gear
up to the office and an NCO checked off each and
every item to make sure everything was accounted
for. Some Soldiers had to dig through piles and piles
of items while others still had theirs wrapped in plas-
tic due to recent PCS. At first the Soldiers were a lit-
tle confused trying to find while item matched the
name on the list, but they quickly figured out that
each item had a number and they made the process
much quicker. There were a few items that the Sol-
diers were sent back to search for at home but over-
all the NCO’s got everyone squared away and ready
for the field.
