Army Guardunits returnfrom Iraq
The hopes and prayers of thousands of Guard family members and friends from acrossthe state came true in April as five mobilized New York Army National Guard units returnedhome after nearly a year of duty in Iraq.
From New York City and Rockland County, through the Capital District and Rochesterand on to Buffalo – troops were flown and bussed home from Fort Dix, NJ to rousingceremonies at local armories and at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station. The returnedunits included the 105th and 442nd Military Police Companies, the 719th TransportationCompany, the 27th Support Center, Rear Area Operations and the 10th TransportationDetachment.
Red, white and blue streamers, yellow ribbons, posters and banners and cheering wives,husbands, children, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, civilian co-workers, neigh-bors and friends turned out in droves to welcome their heroes home from the stress, strainand ordeals of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The homecoming for more than 130 members of the 105th Military Police Company fromWestern, NY was bittersweet at the Niagara Falls Air Station on Saturday April 24. TheNew York Air National Guard’s 107th Air Refueling Wing flew the troops back from FortDix, to the base, where the 107th was hosting nearly 2,000 people who had gathered tocelebrate the troops return.
In a highly memorable and emotional moment, Kelly McMillin, the courageous wife ofthe late Sgt. Heath McMillin was the first to greet her late husband’s comrades on the flightline before the crowd. As the troops descended the stairs from the 107th’s KC-135 tankers,they waved to their waiting families. Each soldier then presented a carnation to Kelly andgratefully gave and received a deeply felt hug. (See the photo)

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service will update its shipping policy for internetand catalog purchases effective Jan. 20 to include a shipping charge of $4.95 onorders of $48.99 or less. There will be exceptions to this policy.
“We remain committed to offering our customers a very competitive value bothonline and through our catalogs,” said Mike Westphal, senior vice president. “Andwe have designed the new shipping policy to offer a number of opportunities for ourvalued customers to continue receiving free shipping. The opportunities will beoffered everyday and not simply as promotions. We encourage them to keep theseoptions in mind when placing an order.”
Customers who place orders using their Military Star card or include a MilitaryClothing Sales Store (MCSS) item in their order will always receive free shippingregardless of order amount. Orders of $49 or more incur no shipping charges unlessthe item is classified as oversized.
Westphal went on to say that he believes the new shipping policy “will help keepAAFES’ pricing competitive while maximizing contributions to MWR programs.”Last year AAFES contributed more than $200 million dollars to MWR in support ofyouth activities, outdoor recreation, bowling facilities and other quality of lifeprograms on military installations worldwide.
The Army is an ever-changing entity on the Global War on Terror as seen from theleaders that we have today. By recognizing the skills, courage, and commitments infighting in today’s wars, the Army remains vigilant and defiant. To that effect, thecurrent policy of Combat Arms leaders only wearing the leader’s identificationinsignia, currently known as the CLI, has been changed to include leaders of thecombat support and combat service support units. The following leaders are nowauthorized to wear the Leaders Identification Insignia: Commanders, DeputyCommanders, Platoon Leaders, Command Sergeants Major, First Sergeants, PlatoonSergeants, Section Leaders (when designated in Unit MTOE), Squad Leaders andTank Commanders, Team Leaders, Assistant SF Detachment Commanders, SFOperational Detachment ‘B’ Sergeants Major, and SF Operational Detachment ‘A’Senior Sergeants.
The Leaders Identification Insignia is a green cloth loop 1 5/8 inches wide. It is wornin the middle of both shoulder loops on the Army green coat, the cold weather coat(field jacket), and on the center tab of the Gore-Tex parka. When leaders wear thegreen tab on the parka, they should also wear their grade insignia centered on theinsignia. Personnel may wear pin-on grade insignia or they may sew grade insigniaonto the LI insignia, the same cloth grade insignia that is worn on the collars of theBDU’s. Personnel may not wear the Leaders Identification Insignia when reassignedfrom a Command position or when taking an official photo. The new policy is in effectas soon as the Leaders can procure the insignia; however, it is mandatory for weardate NLT Sept. 11, 2004.

On Jun. 11, the State Joint Forces Headquarters of New York will launch a virtualhelp desk that will be accessible through the DMNA web site (http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/).
The purpose of the virtual help desk is to act as a tool for answering and trackingquestions and concerns that our NYARNG soldiers, family members and the likemight have in regards to military affairs. The virtual help desk link will be located onthe front page of the DMNA website under Member services. Utilization of this linkwill take the subject to the virtual help desk.
From the help desk page the subject will have three methods of asking his/herinquiry (via E-mail, written letter or telephone). Clicking on the E-mail link will generatean E-mail that will come directly to MNP-MR (CPT Pinckney) inbox.
On behalf of the Adjutant General, MNP-MR will then assign an agency within theJoint Forces HQ who is best suited to answer the inquiry. That agency will then beresponsible for providing the answer to the inquiry back to MNP-MR within aspecified amount of time.

From the desk ofNew York State Command Sergeant Major
Robert Van Pelt
I would like to take a moment to congratulate the newly elected President of theEnlisted Association, Command Sgt. Maj. (R) Claude P. Imagna of the New YorkNational Guard. As many enlisted members of the New York Army National Guardare aware, command sergeant Imagna is definitely no stranger to the Guard.
Before Imagna retired from the military, he held numerous assignments andleadership positions at all levels during his service. From March 1981 until May1994, Imagna held the State’s highest leadership position as the State CommandSergeant Major. Imagna’s military career included Anti Aircraft Artilleryman,Recruiter, Maintenance Sergeant and Heavy Weapons Platoon Sergeant. As acivilian, Imagna retired as an educator from the Buffalo Board of Education wherehe was also very active in union activities. He was on the committee thatdeveloped the original Association bylaws. Imagna currently serves as Chairmanof the National Time and Place Committee.
Imagna served as the Chairman of the 2002 Enlisted Association of the NationalGuard of the United States Annual Convention held in Niagara Falls and deemedthe best of the 31 National Conventions held up to that time. To-date Imagna isa Charter member of the Enlisted Association.
Imagna replaces sergeant Stephanie (Mandy) Van Pelt, who completed a two-year term in April and is currently mobilized with the 42nd Rainbow InfantryDivision awaiting deployment.
The Command Sergeant Major eagerly looks forward to representing the 15,000enlisted members of the New York Air and Army National Guard as the Associa-tion seeks to maintain the benefits our Enlisted Forces now enjoy. He also will seekto insure that we are remembered as a force at war when Federal and StateLegislatures discuss additional benefits as many of our members are asked tomake sacrifices unparalleled since WWII. When asked what his biggest concernwas he stated “membership within the organization.”
“There is strength in numbers,” he added, and he wants to make this the largestorganization in the Northeast.
The command sergeant and his wife, Jeannette, reside in Tonowanda. He wasquick to say that he could not consider taking on the position without Jeannette’ssupport and will work tirelessly on behalf of the men and woman of the New YorkNational Guard.

March-April 2004 Letters From the Field Page 3
As Memorial Day approaches I'm reminded of the day in which we honorthose who made the ultimate sacrifice. It is a day of reflection, and a dayof mourning, but it also a day of celebration.
A day when we reflect on lives cut short, often young lives, on thebattlefields of history. Who knows how many future Presidents, Nobel Prizewinners, scientists discovering cures for cancer, literary giants, artisticmasters we lost in battle. Was it worth it?
Even to be able to have that thought proves that it was. What Presidentwouldn’t stand for freedom? What Nobel Prize winner hasn’t made theworld a little bit better place to live. What Doctor wouldn’t fight to savelives? What literary great doesn’t hope to inspire. What artist wouldn't hopetheir art didn't cause us to reflect. Those who have given their lives havedone all of that, and so much more.
We mourn their loss. I often think of the Movie “The Fighting Sullivan’s”when I think of the magnitude of that loss. When the Chaplain pulls up infront of the Sullivan’s house to inform them of the deaths of their five Sonson the USS Juneau, Mrs. Sullivan knows what he is there for. She knowsthat one of her sons is dead. She draws on some inner strength and opensthe door. She looks the Chaplain straight in the eye and asks a simplequestion. “Which one?” He replies, “All five.” All five, lost in a singlebattle. Can you imagine the loss, the grief, and the gut wrenching emotionin those two words? Just saying it makes me well with emotion and grieffor a family I never knew.
Today we add the name of one of our own to that list of those we mourn.Pfc. Nathan Brown. He will never marry, have children, or even play withhis grandchildren. Who knows what he could have done or might havebecome. Why him? We could dwell on the whys and what if's forever.They would not change the hard and true facts. He died in battle. In a war
Friends and Comrades:
By Lt. Col. Mark Warnecke, Hunter 6Task Force 2-108th, InfantryForward Operating Base O'Ryan
Editor's Note:Lt. Col. Mark Warnecke is the Battalion Commander of the 2ndBattalion 108th Infantry Division, presently serving in Iraq.
I was writing about the sounds of war in Iraq. Thesounds vary from the dreaded fires from enemymortars and rockets to the songbirds that awaken me
each morning. Such contrasts, contrasts that are fre-quent in such a harsh land. The sounds vary accordingto the time of day. By early AM we hear the constantdrone of 35 generators throughout the Forward Obser-vation Base (FOB). They are constant sounds fromdiesel engines some of which are large 6 cylinder Volvo’sturning the RPM’s loud and into the heat. Others are ontrailers that we brought all the way from New York. Thesounds of Hummers are frequent and continuous asthey kick up the dust in clouds. The 5-ton trucks,Bradleys and tanks all have their own signature. Theyare the big ones the ones that take over the kingdom ofsounds. They are reassuring noises. Then there are thenoises of the helicopters, constant and comfortable forme, the Black hawks, Apaches and the Kiowa. They arewelcome noises and are recurrent. Their sounds beginjust 10 km from our FOB and as we are in their flight path,good sounds, familiar sounds. A new comer in thesound world has become more and more frequent, thesound of fighter jets, and the F-16 has found a new homeat Anaconda or Ballad Airport. These sounds espe-cially with the afterburners open are reassuring incred-ible noises reminding us of our might and superiority inthe world. Oh the night sounds, the quiet of a FOB tryingto blend into the desert. The infrequent traveling noisesin the dark. The Hummers on patrol protecting the FOB
with their drivers clad with Night vision devicesround and round they go, watching for enemy orsuspicious movement. These are good sounds. Thejackals, the running dogs and the quiet noises of thewild hogs. No birds at night, an occasional owl withits silent flight. Off in the distance one can often hearthe traffic afar on what is called the MSR or mainhighway that goes from Kuwait through Baghdad andinto northern Iraq. This is our MSR, the one weprotect and secure from terrorists. We often hear thetrucks that bring supplies to Anaconda, our supplycenter and home for 20K troops and civilians. Oh thesounds of war. All of this is offset by machine gun fire,small arms fire and as occasional blast from whoknows where. Daily we explode large stockpiles ofSadams bombs in what is called a controlled blast.This is accomplished by specialists in the Army calledEOD. They have been setting off explosions daily upto three a day since we arrived. These sounds areunique as they shake the ground and everything formiles. Oh the sounds of war. Thank God we rarely hearthe screams of the injured or sick. Those are the worst.Those are the sounds of war that hurt. I havewitnessed several families of Sunni and Shia mourntheir dead, those are horrible sounds of war. I guessthe best sounds are yet to come. The sounds of an endto all of this, the sounds of our return. That is thesound of war that we all are focused upon, the soundsof our families. The sounds of war…

on terrorism, and a war against terrorists who hate Americans andeverything America stands for.
Terrorists hated Nathan Brown because he was an American, becausehate is their way. In war, people die, good people, good soldiers, goodAmericans. In Nathan’s memory, let hate not be our way nor division ourmethod.
Today we should also celebrate. Celebrate the gift given each of us asAmericans. The gift of life, of hope, of dreams, in a free and democraticsociety. The gift of liberty and freedom.
We stand here at Forward Operating Base O’Ryan, fighting a war, a waron terrorism, a war against those who hate freedom and democracy. If wecan give freedom a foothold, give democracy a chance here, we will protectit at home. We still face difficult times ahead. Hard work, separation fromloved ones, sweat and maybe blood. But, no matter how hard it gets, nomatter what, no sacrifice is greater, no gift more precious than that givenus by those who gave their last full measure.
National Guard Military Honors team. And, the community responded with gesturesof heart felt respect and sorrow.
They saw his casket arrive at the airport and the emotional scene on the tarmac withfamily and friends as a military detail placed the flag over the casket and carried it tothe hearse. A motorcycle group comprised of veterans escorted the funeral motorcade.
The New York State Police temporarily shut down the northbound access ramp toInterstate 87 to allow the motorcade to pass and served as the official escort. Alongthe route north, local firefighters had raised a 20-by-30 foot American flag on a laddertruck at the overpass as the procession passed underneath.
At the halfway mark, three additional New York State troopers parked their cruisersin formation and rendered a salute. In Glens Falls, scores of people of all ages lined thestreets holding small American flags and yellow ribbons as the motorcade went by.
The procession paused at the home of Nathan’s grandmother, so that from herdriveway and in her wheel chair she could place her hand on her grandson’s casket as
it was held by the honors detail.The public saw the arrival at the funeral home
and the posting of the guard during the viewingthe night before the funeral. The next day, theroute to the church was lined with flags, ribbons,veterans and youth groups. In every possiblesense, he was extended a hero’s welcome home.
Hundreds attended the funeral at SaintAlphonsus Church in Glens Falls. New York’sLieutenant Governor Mary Donohue, the Adju-tant General, Maj. Gen. Thomas P. Maguire, Jr.,and retired New York State Adjutant General, Maj.Gen. Lawrence P. Flynn were among the dignitar-ies who came. It was standing room only. Rela-tives, friends, civilian officials, veterans, the pub-lic and military members had all gathered to reflecton the young Guardsman, whose life was cut shortby the war abroad.
“The last time I saw Nathan he was handing mehis backpack,” said Sgt. Coon as he related to the
assembly his fondest memoryof his young recruit. “His origi-nal had gotten damaged andhe was issued a new one. Ona previous visit home from FortDrum, I was admiring his new equipment, including the backpacks. As the Soldiersarrived at the armory for the final goodbye, Nathan approached me and said he wantedme to have something, and handed me the backpack. At the time, it seemed like sucha simple gesture from a Soldier, especially when you realize that he gave me the newone and he kept the damaged one. Now, for me, the backpack is far more than a pieceof equipment. The back pack represents Nathan to me — a giving person, someonewho thinks of others and is an unselfish and compassionate…”
At the cemetery, there was a firing party, taps and a “missing man” flyover by GuardBlackhawk helicopters. His parents were presented with his military awards: The PurpleHeart Medal, The Bronze Star Medal, the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and the NewYork State Medal for Valor. At the very last, Maj. Gen. Maguire presented the foldedAmerican Flag to Kathy.
“The 27th Infantry Brigade has a long history of deploying to war zones and that historyis full of young heroes of Nathan’s caliber,” said Coon in the closing of his eulogy. “The27th Brigade’s shoulder patch is comprised of the brightest stars of the Orion starconstellation and if you see it in the Southern sky you will find the brightest star therelooking down on us saying, I am gone, but I am not forgotten.”
A pleasant Easter weekend turned totragedy for the family of a young infantry soldier when they learned
that their son had become the third New YorkArmy National Guard Soldier Killed In Actionin Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Private First Class Nathan Brown, age 21, amember of Company C, 2nd Battalion, 108th
Infantry Regiment was killed on April 11thwhen his unit was ambushed by a large insur-gent force near the town of Sammara, Iraq. Arocket-propelled grenade (RPG) had struckthe 5-ton truck he was riding in. Four othermembers of the unit were injured in the attack.Members of the unit later reported they de-feated the enemy force in full.
The devastating news struck his family, andthe families of the other deployed members ofthe company like a hammer blow. He was a popular young man, known for his vitalityand friendliness.
Nathan was the oldest of four children of Ricky and Kathy Brown from the Townof Moreau in South Glens Falls. Brown enlisted in the Guard in March 2002 after earninghis General Educational Development degree (GED) the previous June. Before beingcalled up with his unit last fall, Brown held a number of jobs in the community. He hadworked for the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, Thomas’s House PaintingCompany and the local grocery store. He was engaged and had talked about goingto college.
The news media quickly learned of the tragedy and flocked to the armory. In honorof their son, the Brown family chose to grant interviews and speak openly about theirSoldier even as the official Department of Defense news release was being distributed.Relatives and friends followed in suit.
Press interviews were filled with tearful tributes. There were a few young membersof his unit in Glens Falls awaiting separate deployment orders when the tragic newshad come. Now they took turns holding an overnight vigil by the sign bearing his namein front of the armory. Expressions of pride and sorrow poured from relatives, friendsand the community.
“He was a very up-tempo, energetic person who made those around him feel better,”said Pfc. Jason Parks, a member of the unit’s rear detachment. “I am honored to have servedwith him and to have known him on a personal basis,” he added, reflecting the commonsentiments of many.
Brown had joined the unit along with other friends from the community and a strong bondexisted among the members. One newspaper headline described the situation as the “Bandof Brothers has lost one of its own.”
“It was more like a family thing rather than men going off to war,” observed Tom Ryan,Nathan’s uncle, commenting on his nephew’s determination to serve and the close friendswho had deployed with him.
“Nathan Brown became much more than an enlistment, he became part of our family,” saidSgt. 1st Class Arthur Coon, Brown’s recruiter. Nathan’s mother had brought her son to Sgt.Coon to join the Guard. Like so many other parents, Kathy knew and believed that militaryservice would help him focus and prepare for the future. Nathan loved the Guard and hisunit. It was only natural for Kathy and Rick Brown to request Sgt. Coon deliver the eulogyat the funeral service.
From the moment his casket arrived at the Albany International Airport to his final restingplace at the Gerald B.H Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery, Nathan Brown received fullmilitary honors and extensive media coverage. The family requested that the media be givenas much access as possible to film their son’s return, the memorial service and the gravesidehonors.
Residents of the Greater Capital District and Glens Falls region saw for themselves in detailthe ceremonial honors executed by members of the 27th Infantry Brigade and the New York

As the holiday season of 2003was bringing winter weather and seasonal charm to New York,
the Soldiers and family members of the105th Military Police Company were find-ing it difficult to celebrate.
The troops had been in there for al-most eight months and the one-yearanniversary of the federal call up waswithin sight. Two members of the com-pany had been lost to combat action andthere was no indication of a return datefor the troops to look forward to.
Fortunately, the unit had been movedfrom desolate Camp Kalsu to the safetyand much improved conditions of a Sol-dier support base dubbed Combat Sup-port Center Scania. It is a large logisticalbase built astride the Main Supply Route.Here there were actual buildings with air conditioning,mess facilities, recreational services and a gym for work-ing out. It is an Army “oasis” in the middle of a war zone.
Cooler temperatures in Iraq had done little to diminishthe threat from insurgent forces. In fact, there wasgenuine concern that the enemy would take advantage ofupcoming Islamic holidays to increase their attacks.Soldiers and family members were confronted with thereality of family separation at the worst possible time ofyear.
And yet, though separated, the Soldiers and the familiesfound the way not just to cope, but also to try andovercome it all.
Pro-Active Families
Even before Thanksgiving, the family readiness grouphad planned and organized a series of events to help itsmembers, their Soldiers and especially the children whowould be without a parent during what has long beenconsidered a child’s favorite holiday.
At the unit’s home at the Masten Avenue Armory inBuffalo, the group had been using the “Brock Room,” awonderful, museum-like room that was set up and main-tained by the veterans. The walls are covered with oldphotos and relics, and tables and chairs are arrangedbanquet-style for meetings and dinners.
Retired Guardsman Don Barnes maintains the room forthe 106th Veterans Association and the group came todepend upon him to have the room available for a varietyof special events. In addition, he maintained a bulletinboard of photos, articles, cards and letters about the 105th
MP Company and its family readiness group for all to see.The Brock Room had become the group’s “club room” andthe welcome mat was out.
There were the regular meetings and the gift-packingdays. But for Barnes the most memorable event was theday that holiday video messages from the children wererecorded. They were to be sent over to the troops.
While none were anxious to go back to Iraq, they all knewthat their comrades were awaiting their return so they too,could take time off. For the Soldiers and
their family members, that “second” departure was far more difficult than the first.
Community Support
Across the state, veterans and community groups reachedout to offer support to local units and military families as theholiday season approached. These sentiments from thecommunity would continue to build and extend throughoutthe period. The support being offered in Western NY, andin Buffalo in particular, exceeded all others.
Phyllis Murawski, the lead volunteer of the family readi-ness group and Dara Fowler, the commander’s wife werequick to acknowledge the especially sensitive and appreci-ated support rendered to the group from local chapters of theAmerican Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and theVietnam Veterans of America.
“The veterans did so much and so many things for us,” saidPhyllis. “I think one of the most welcomed things was that
so many were willing to be around so spouses and others family members had some one else to talk to. I don’t thinkthey realized how important that was for us,” she said.
“Toys R Us” in Buffalo sponsored special holiday shopping events exclusively for military families featuring heavilydiscounted prices. Local businesses organized and ran a holiday food drive to benefit military families in need. Avideo and photo com- pany offered mili-tary family members free family portrait ses-sions and video taping so that the imagescould be shipped to their military loved onesin Iraq. And, there were many more such ef-forts to reach out to the Soldiers and theirfamilies
Though separated by thousands of miles– a distance of half the world away – it wasapparent that the resi- dents of the GreaterBuffalo region wanted the Soldiers to knowthat they were behind them; were thinkingof them; and, in their own way, trying to fightthe war, too.
In Iraq, the members of the 105th receivedSoldier Care packages, holiday gifts, cardsand letters. Family mem- bers also begansending over school sup- plies so that the Sol-diers could share them with Iraqi children –an effort and an invest- ment for peace andfriendship with Iraq’s next generation.
Nearing the End
As the holidays passed, additional Guard units were activated and one unit from the NY Army National Guard wasidentified as a replacement in theater for the 105th MP Company. Across the state, family members of deployed unitslooked forward to good news that their Soldiers would soon come home. Soldiers and family members anxiouslyawaited news that a date would be set. It wouldn’t be that simple.
The national shortage of available military police units prompted the Army to activate and deploy Guard field artilleryunits and press them through condensed military police training. Two batteries of NY’s 258th Field Artillery Battalionwere so activated. To meet mobilization requirements, additional Soldiers from other Buffalo-area units were calledup to deploy with them.
In nearly every case, the training program for these artillery units proved to be too short in duration. The units neededadditional training time. In addition, in order to rotate units in and other units out of the theater, US Central Commandwould embark in the largest rotation of US troops since the Vietnam War. The logistical challenges would be huge.For the Soldiers in theater and their awaiting families the stage was set for an excruciating period of waiting, deepconcern and possibly for disappointment.

Now that New York Army and Air National Guard unitshave reached historical deployment levels, individualcombat units are realizing that their traditional roles astank crews, artillerymen and infantrymen have expandedto include combat arms and tactical skills.
The 1st Battalion, 127th Armor utilized four days of theirannual training (AT) this year to stage some CommonTask Training (CTT)-style operations at Fort Drum’sMilitary Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) site.Normally, previous AT’s concentrated on tank crewsgetting their tanks prepared for tank lanes training, whichwas also conducted this year.
“You never know what you’ll be doing or where you’llbe doing it,” stated Lt. Col. David Zysk, battalion com-mander, 1st Battalion, 127th Armor. “It never hurts toprovide the best training you can.”
These have been words to live by as the 127th wasactivated for Operation Noble Eagle for security andstability operations at West Point, Fort Drum, N.Y., theLetterkenny Army Depot, Pa., the War College, Carlisle,Pa. and the Picatiney Arsenal, N.J.

Lt. Col. Zysk added that the unit was exposed to agarrison environment during Operation Noble Eagle andthat combat training is practical. The 127th is currently notbeing deployed, however, more than 100 Soldiers weretransferred to the 42nd Infantry Division for deploymentin support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Each of the five lanes combined aspects of CTT andother tasks from the Security Operations and SupportOperations (SOSO) handbook, according to Lt. Col. Zysk.
The first lane consisted of tank convoy escort scenariosthat required Soldiers to react to air attacks, refugee’s onthe battlefield, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) ambushattacks, and enemy tank ambush attacks. The secondlane dealt with media and civilian relations in an urbansetting. Situations included looting, mediating conflicts,establishing relationships with the media and controllingthe movement of civilians. The third lane focused onurban operations in a warehouse and/or industrial part ofa village serving as a primary supply point for mines andexplosives. Soldiers trained to conduct search and sei-zure, react to unexploded ordinance, conduct an urbanpatrol, react to a sniper attack and assist casualties. The
fourth lane tasked the medics and engineers. Soldiersconducted patrols through a village and discover theyhave moved into a minefield, which produced casualties.They performed first aid on the casualties and extractthemselves from the minefield. The fifth lane concen-trated on military checkpoint operations. Situations that
could occur at and around a military checkpoint such assmuggling weapons and contraband were tested. Tasksconsisted of establishing and operating an observationpost, conducting a vehicle search, and reacting tounexploded ordinance.
To accent the MOUT site-training scenario, the 127th
incorporated the services of several members of the 105th
Military Police (MP) Company recently returned fromOperation Iraqi Freedom. Additional support came fromthe 152nd Engineers and 342nd Forward Support Battalion,both on AT status, to assist with maintenance, medicaland refueling.
Transitioning the tank crews from their turrets to the artof clearing a room was met with mixed reactions. “At first,the training was a little uncomfortable because I was notused to carrying all the gear on my back,” said Sgt. JamesSolomon, tank mechanic, 1st Battalion, 127th Armor, “butthis type of training offers a realistic change of pace forthe unit.”
“Today, we need to be more than tankers,” said Spc.Adam Anderson, 105mm main gunner, A Company, 127th
Armor. “This is different than our usual training, but weneed to always be ready and that’s the reason we train.”

Safety is also a major concern during nighttime operations, because much of the activitymust be done in the dark. “There have been some nights when you can’t see your handin front of your face,” said Sergeant Mann. “We have a lot of briefings on safety practices,and we make sure that all the teams stay in constant communication.
Both Sergeant Coomes and Sergeant Mann have a lot of pride in what they are currentlydoing and how they are impacting the on-going operations against terrorists in Afghani-stan. “This is a big change from the stereotypical one weekend a month and two weeks ayear,” Sergeant Mann said. “This isn’t the typical 9 to 5 job – we have all kinds of greatchallenges.”
“This is also a great opportunity to get out and see new locations,” agreed SergeantCoomes. “I get a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I am helping another countrybecome safer and give the people the opportunity to enjoy a number of those freedomswe have in the United States.”

Every day, between 50 and 100 tons of equipment and supplies come into Bagram,flown in by a constant stream of cargo aircraft at all hours of the day. Since this isa combat environment, getting the aircraft down, unloaded quickly and off the
ground again is extremely important. Keeping that logistical pipeline running smoothly andefficiently falls to the men and women of the Air Terminal Operations Center, or ATOC,here.
“We do all the aircraft load planning, passenger terminal operations, logistics, loadingand unloading that happens at a regular airport – except at a much higher pace,” said MasterSgt. Janet Coomes, 455th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron. Sergeant Coomeswas activated from the 67th Aerial Port Squadron, a Reserve unit from Hill AFB, Utah.
In fact, the entire ATOC is made up of members of the Guard and Reserves – all 28 teammembers. Six of them come from Sergeant Coomes’ outfit; two more Reservists are from the69th Aerial Port Squadron, in Maryland. The remaining members of the team are from the109th Aerial Port Flight, a New York Air National Guard unit from Stratton Air NationalGuard Base.
This total force effort is invaluable to keeping Bagram supplied. The ATOC operatesseven days a week, 24 hours a day. “I don’t think we have had a day when we didn’t haveaircraft in,” said Master Sgt. Mark Mann, 455th ELRS, who is here from the 109th APF inNew York. The high operations tempo sometimes requires the team to perform an engine-running off-load – a challenging maneuver where the airplane parks, keeps the enginerunning while the logisticians remove the cargo and upload any new cargo. This speedsup the process and minimizes time an aircraft spends on the ground, said Sergeant Coomes.
Besides cargo, the logisticians also move more than 9,000 passengers in and out of theBagram area each month. Although the people can “self-load” onto an aircraft, “cargodoesn’t talk back,” joked Sergeant Mann.
With the amount of traffic on the flight line, the large numbers of inbound and outgoingaircraft and large numbers of passengers moving into and out of the area, safety is extremelyimportant on the flight line. “We have to make sure we adhere to all Air Force loadinginstructions – we can’t load people on an aircraft carrying ammunition, for instance, or witha pallet of hazardous material,” said Sergeant Coomes.
The 109th Airlift Wing Military Personnel Flight (MPF)achieved the 2003 Gerrit D. Foster Jr. Outstanding MilitaryPersonnel Flight Award from the Air National Guard andsigned by Lt. Gen. Daniel James on Mar. 23.
The personnel flight here was one of eight ANG unitsnationwide to receive the award. The award, named inhonor of the late Colonel Foster, a former field activitiesdivision chief with the then-named Air Force MilitaryPersonnel Center, recognizes the top ten-percent of per-sonnel flights that give outstanding service or makesignificant contributions to the Air Force.
“Our MPF and recruiting and retention sections havebeen working at elevated levels since September 2001, but2003 was a year of significant achievement,” said Lt. Col.Thomas Mason, Director of Personnel. He explained thatsome of the more outstanding achievements for MPF in2003 included serving a 101-percent increase in ID-cardcustomers due to a Navy site deactivation, presenting a

Air GuardJujitsu Clubstarts classes,invites newmembers
Guardmembers now have means to self-defense and physical fitness since the Stratton Jujitsu Club began classes at the B-dining hall early this year.
The club, which meets every Monday and Wednesday at5:30 p.m., is open to all guardmembers, families and friendsof good character.
According to the Club’s informational brochure Modern Jujitsu is based on natural body motions and
natural reactions; meaning, the techniques involved will nottake years of practice. In fact, classes do not require priorattendance, and members can join anytime, at any skill leveland not feel left behind. Those interested should call 344-2480 for more details.
“I enjoy the workouts because every night you learnsomething different,” said Senior Master Sgt. William Pryor,club participant. He added that the instruction is informal,leaving “rank at the door.” Instruction is also ongoing, soyou can start anytime and not need to catch up to the restof the group, he said.
John Borter, a certified instructor of self-defense andmartial arts to the general public, law enforcement, securityand military personnel, instructs members. He has six blackbelts in the Martial Arts and is a Martial Arts Hall of Fameinductee.
“The decision to train in the martial arts enhances everyarea of your life,” said Borter.
“From a Guardsman’s perspective, it’s designed as partof the overall fitness program,” said CE Commander andclub participant, Lt. Col. Richard Edwards. The Colonelexplained that the club is an accumulation of six years ofinterest and effort—the original members met at theSaratoga YMCA and sought permission to move the clubon base. Once approved, Moral, Welfare and Recreation(MWR) supplied the club with new practice mats. Uni-forms were ordered, brochures were sent out and colorfulpatches were sewn up to identify the club and recruit upto thirty new members. So far, ten new members havejoined.
The plan is to grow the membership and promote physicalfitness through base participation, said the Colonel.
Practices start with warm-up exercises, stretching, rollingand breakfalls. The instructor then leads the group througha multitude of fighting and self defense techniques suchas rolls, falls, finger and wrist locks, arm bars, strikes, kicksand escapes. Other techniques, which fall within ModernJujitsu’s White to Black belt ranking system, includefinger, wrist and arm locks, head, neck and leg techniques,

Take 1,250 pounds of brawn, spread it across five football players who bench pressan average of 400 pounds each, then corral them into a 23 million dollar flightsimulator for about three hours. The result of that mix: harsh takeoffs, even rougher
landings, poor aerial refueling procedures and plenty of laughs from the powerhouseleviathans huddled inside.
For the handful of star players and staff from the Orange County Bulldogs, a HudsonValley semipro football team, who had an opportunity on March 30, 2004 to tour the 105thAirlift Wing’s C-5 flight simulator, quickly learned that using finesse rather than their bigbiceps and brute force was what it would take to tackle the “Galaxy.”
“I knew our military had technological stuff, but I didn’t know it was as advanced asthat simulator,” said Co-President Frank Williams after the tour. “With equipment like thatand with the people we have serving in the armed forces; I now understand why we havethe best military in the world. It was a great experience and we had fun,” he said.
This year marks twelve years of football in the Orange County area for the Bulldogs.The team’s record is 70 wins, 12 losses and one tie. Having won several minor league titles,earning them the right to be called the 1996 and 1997 Northern Division Champions as wellas the 1997 Big Apple Bowl Champions, the Bulldogs climbed even higher on the semiprototem pole in 2002 when they won the Empire Football League Championship.
“In 1997, our first season as part of the Garden State Football League, we wentundefeated at 9-0 and were nationally ranked third in the East by Minor League News. Thenin 2000 we finished the season at 10-2 and ranked 14th nationally among all semipro teamsin the country. I think we’re making excellent progress as a team and with a little luck we’llhave better seasons and more championships to come,” said Paul Williams Jr., also Co-President of the Orange County Bulldogs.
According to their mission statement, as an organization the team is focused onachieving and maintaining a winning tradition, committed to excellence and leadership, andseeks to provide opportunities for personal development through participation in athleticcompetition. Defensive Tackle, Dave Smart added, “We’re much like the military becausewe believe in similar things, such as teamwork and fitness. Having said that I appreciatewhat the military does and what they stand for. I don’t know anyone who thinksdifferently.”
He added, “The sad thing is most people don’t realize what the military does on a dailybasis because they simply don’t see it in action, in person everyday. I know one thingthough, when we pulled up to the front gate in our van and guys with guns stopped to checkour credentials, all of us knew our visit was for real.”
So, beyond the front gate and onto their tour, how did the band of colossal football
players accustomed to arduous practices and punishing games, which often yield cuts,bruises, sprains and strains, think they would do against their unknown foe, the C-5 flightsimulator?
“It looks like an alien spacecraft. Not that I’ve ever seen one before,” said Defensive End,Michael Boykin, who first thought flying the simulator would be easy. His assumptionchanged a few engine fires and rainstorms later, when he had a chance to sit in the copilotsseat adjacent to Maj. Steve Grant from the 137th Airlift Squadron.
“Honestly, it was tougher to fly than I thought. But it did move around like a spaceship,”he said while laughing. “It was a great experience; I never knew technology like this existedin Newburgh. I always thought they kept stuff like this locked up with the aliens.”
After 320 pound Offensive End, Joe Zoffoli had his turn in the hot seat, having beentossed a little fog and wind while trying to land the simulator at LaGuardia Airport; he toohad a change of heart. “I didn’t expect it to fly like a plane. I really thought it would be simple.I was wrong. It wasn’t like playing Top Gun on X-Box,” he said.
Deceived by the seemingly innocent looking flight simulator was Ron Alindogan,Offensive Center for the Bulldogs, who said the simulator was a contraption that bared astark resemblance to what in his mind was a gigantic meat locker on hydraulic stilts. “OK,when I first looked at the thing I thought, ‘Where’s Gilligan and the Skipper for my threehour tour?’ I was wrong; it wasn’t a big freezer with a bunch of hoses sticking out the sides.It was a really hard to fly freezer with hoses sticking out the sides,” he said.
All shattered misconceptions aside, when the tour was over and it was time to head homefor the night, to rest up for another day of push-ups and pull ups of course, everyone saidthey had a great time flying the simulator, even if it was a bit “boxy” looking like they allthought.
“It was a real experience, we just need to learn a little more grace when it comes to flyingaircraft,” Frank Williams said. “It was also nice to have an opportunity to say thanks toour men and women in uniform for all they’ve done and for all they’ve sacrificed. We’relucky to have a few star players on our team, but the military is even luckier to haveindividuals willing to give up everything for this country. You’re all heroes.”
NOTE: As a token of their appreciation to the men and women of the 105th Airlift Wingfor their participation in “Operation Iraqi Freedom,” the Orange County Bulldogsdedicated an autographed football and a championship T-shirt to the unit. Both are ondisplay outside of the 105th Dining Facility. To see a season schedule for 2004 or foradditional information about the team, visit www.orangecountybulldogs.com.

105th Female vocalist makes ‘Tops in Blue’
Senior Airman Erin Holzapfel, a member of the 105thMedical Group was recently selected to join the Air Force“Tops in Blue” entertainment group as a female vocalist.Her tour with “Tops in Blue” is a year long, during whichtime she will travel the world. The “Tops in Blue”
entertainment group started in 1953, and since then over1,700 airmen have performed in more than 7,000 showssince the program’s inception.
The Air Force “Tops in Blue” entertainment group is anactive duty unit made up of amateur performers who haveoutstanding entertainment abilities. The 30-member grouptravels throughout the continental United States, CentralAmerica, Alaska, Canada and Europe, entertaining morethan 250,000 military personnel and their families everyyear.
“My friends are a little jealous that I’ll be traveling theworld,” Holzapfel said. “But I tell them ‘Sure, I’ll get tovisit about 27 countries, but you don’t see all the hardwork that goes with it.’ Sometimes you need to workextremely long days,” she said.
Senior Airman Holzapfel’s journey to Air Force stardombegan when Master Sgt. Mike Antinucci, 105th RetentionOffice Manager, handed her an application the day beforean audition tape was due. Although Holzapfel is in the AirNational Guard, her current military status made hereligible for the program.
“I knew about ‘Tops in Blue’ because Antinucci hasbeen telling me about it since I joined the military. I justnever knew how to apply. Then, he gave me an applicationand I went searching through my tapes at home,” Holzapfelsaid.
Hundreds of hopeful candidates submit applications fora possible audition with “Tops In Blue,” but only 70 arechosen to attend a 10-day audition conference. Holzapfel’sgambit paid off, as she was one of those 70 individualschosen to light up the stage at San Antonio, TX, duringauditions.
According to Holzapfel, tryouts consisted of dance,voice and instrument auditions. She performed SarahMcLachlin’s “Angel” for the crowd. “I had several people
approach me, to say they never liked that song before theyheard me sing it. That was a pretty good feeling,” she said
Although Holzapfel has been singing since the age of10, candidates for “Tops in Blue” also had to compete onanother level—they needed to undergo a grueling per-sonal interview whereby everything from an individual’smotivation for auditioning to their composure underpressure would be questioned and evaluated. Holzapfelattested, the judges even pushed back interview timesand dates, and turned the most innocent answers aroundon candidates to test their ability to handle stress.
“During my interview the judges asked me to do animpression of a hot dog when they found out that I wasfrom New York. So, I stretched and made myself look reallystill, but they kept throwing things in like, ‘Okay, nowyou’re being cooked.’ So, I started wiggling around.‘Now someone’s putting mustard on you,’ they said. So,I got up and pretended to put mustard on myself. It wasa lot of fun,” Holzapfel said.
After returning from her audition, all the while being“glued to her cell phone” waiting to find out if she madethe final cut, the good news finally came. Her father,Master Sgt. Rob Dana, Recruiting Office supervisor forthe 105th Airlift Wing added, “At first I didn’t even knowshe submitted an application. But once I found out shedid apply and was accepted for an audition, I really wasn’tsurprised. When Erin does something extraordinary, I’mnever surprised because she always excels at what shedoes. I very proud of her,” Dana said.
Holzapfel’s next step is to travel back to San Antonio,where she and her new teammates will learn to break downand set up their stage equipment, attend professionalmake-up lessons, and learn the dance, instrument andsong aspects of their new show routines before theybegin their tour.

42nd Infantry Division readies for IraqPage 12 March-April 2004Army National Guard
Soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Division are on the move. Over the past 30 days, the citizen-soldiers of the Army’s famous “Rainbow Division” departed home station armoriesacross the United States for movement and in-processing at their Fort Drum, NY, Fort
Dix, NJ, Fort Hood and Fort Bliss, TX and Camp Shelby, MS mobilization sites.In the past month, more than 3,000 division Soldiers mobilized in support of Operation
Iraqi Freedom and the nation’s Global War on Terror. Assisted by the training supportmembers of the Army’s 78th Division, Rain-bow Soldiers began their individual trainingpreparations as a first step towards valida-tion and deployment. All divisional troopswill undergo evaluation by their Army unittrainers in a number of individual Soldiercombat skills as well as team or collectivetraining tasks.
“We’ll get this mission done as a team,”said Maj. Gen. Joseph J. Taluto, the 42nd
Infantry Division Commander, “it’s just thatsimple.” The division expects to complete itstraining tasks later this year and deploy toIraq at the end of 2004 and early 2005 Themobilization of the Rainbow Division pro-vides a foundation on which the Army canbuild a combat task force for operations inIraq. It is a reflection of the Army’s transfor-mation towards division-level command andcontrol “units of employment” and combatbrigade “units of action” in which differentorganizations can be assembled to form acombat force.
Division Soldiers will provide the command and control, logistics and operational basefor maneuver brigades to succeed in their mission to establish a safe and secureenvironment in Iraq. While the maneuver brigades have yet to be announced by theDepartment of the Army, they may reflect any combination of Army, Army National Guard,or multinational forces.
The entire process is part of the Army’s design for employing smaller, modular units formobilization and deployment. The concept provides “plug and play,” capabilities-basedforces, capable of seamlessly integrating with other Army formations in joint and combinedoperations.
“This division headquarters has some significant experience in standing up an opera-tional task force,” said the division Chief of Staff, Col. Mark Heffner. “Hundreds of ourRainbow Soldiers deployed for state active duty in New York City following the terrorattacks of September 11th, 2001. Command of the Army National Guard, Air National Guardand Naval Militia forces for the State of New York was in the hands of the 42nd DivisionHeadquarters,” he said . The 42nd Infantry Task Force represents National Guard membersfrom more than twelve states. Rainbow Division Soldiers mobilized from their home statesof New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Delaware, Vermont, Rhode Island and Florida.
The Rainbow Team welcomes troops from Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouriand Pennsylvania. These National Guard units arrived to fill in some specialty combatservice support functions.
Rainbow Division units mobilizing for Operation Iraqi Freedom consist of the 42nd InfantryDivision Headquarters, the Aviation and Engineer Brigade Headquarters, the DivisionArtillery Headquarters, the Division Support Command Headquarters, the 1st Battalion,150th General Aviation Support Battalion, the 50th Main Support Battalion, the 642nd DivisionAviation Support Battalion, the 250th Signal Battalion, the 642nd Military IntelligenceBattalion, the 42nd Military Police Company, the 272nd Chemical Company, 42nd DivisionBand, Battery E (Target Acquisition), 101st Field Artillery, the 42nd Rear Operations Cell andthe 173rd Long Range Surveillance Detachment. Additionally, Soldiers from the 1st
Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment mobilized as a supplement to the Louisiana NationalGuard’s 256th Separate Brigade.
Additionally, the division expects to receive a variety of Active Army and Army Reservecombat, combat support and combat service support elements to complete the divisionbase organization. Those forces will conduct their own pre-deployment training and jointhe task force overseas.
42ND INFANTRY DIVISION
By Maj. Richard GoldenbergGuardTimes Staff
One of the most significant differences for Soldiers now serving on active duty is the issueof new individual and organization equipment. Members of the 42nd Infantry Division beganto receive new equipment items such as Interceptor Body Armor and the Modular SleepingBag System.
Under the Army’s Rapid Fielding Initiative, other items of issue for Soldiers will includethe Advanced Combat Helmet and the Improved Hot Weather Desert Boot. These items
will be provided to Soldiers as they receivetheir Desert Combat Uniforms, or DCUs. TheArmy budgeted more than $400 Million thisfiscal year towards equipping Soldiers formissions overseas.
More importantly, the unit supply system isfull of replacement or new issue items. Weap-ons systems such as the M240 Machine Gun,the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, M16A2rifles and their associated support equipmentcontinue to flow into arms rooms at Fort Drumand Fort Dix for Soldiers to train, fire andqualify.
On a larger scale, units will continue toreceive new vehicles, radios and other itemsnecessary for the success of the missionoverseas. For many division Soldiers, theseitems will require familiarization training orrefresher training over the course of the sum-mer.
The 42nd Infantry Division training programduring post-mobilization blends all the por-tions of individual, crew, team and collective
training. Rainbow Soldiers will complete validation training in their basic Soldier skills, crewand team training in tasks such as convoy operations, and collective training in commandand control operations for the combat task force.
“Each and every Soldier, when they arrive in Kuwait,” Maj. Gen. Taluto instructed hiscommanders and staff, “will be motivated, confident and rested; they will be ready for ourmission.”
Team-building exercises will be conducted throughout the summer as Soldiers conductmore challenging training events, culminating with the division’s mission readinessexercise in the fall.
Soldier training includes such items as identification and response to improvisedexplosive devices, or IEDs, convoy live-fire exercises, defensive fire exercises, communi-cations training and other tactical skills necessary for operations with the MultinationalCorps – Iraq. Commanders and their staffs will conduct a series of command post exercises.These are designed to challenge leaders’ abilities to gather information, plan and executemission orders, and stress the command and control systems of the units.
“This is your training plan,” said Lt. Gen. Joseph R. Inge, the First U.S. Army Commanderto the group of division leaders before mobilization. “I will ensure that you get everythingyou need to train and that every Soldier who gets on that plane for Iraq if ready for his job,but the training plan to get there is yours to develop,” Inge told the Rainbow leadership.A Mission Not Without Sacrifice.
While thousands of 42nd Infantry Soldiers continue to train and prepare for the missionin Iraq, hundreds of Rainbow Division Soldiers are already serving overseas for IraqiFreedom 2.
Soldiers from the Division Artillery’s 1st Battalion, 258th Field Artillery from New York andthe 3rd Battalion, 112th Field Artillery in New Jersey are currently in Iraq providing securityforce missions in central Iraq with Task Force Baghdad.
Sadly, four Rainbow Division comrades were killed in action in the early part of June. Killedon June 4th were Sgt. Frank Carvill, 51, of Carlstadt, NJ and Spc. Christopher Duffy, 26, ofBrick, NJ. The following day, June 5th saw the loss of Sgt. Humberto Timoteo, 25, of Newarkand Spc. Ryan Doltz, 26 of Mine Hill, NJ.
The loss of a single Soldier is a tragic and devastating event. The thoughts and prayersof the entire division go out to the Soldiers, families and communities of the 112th FieldArtillery.

“Why walk when you can ride,” Pfc. MarkGorman asked, expressing a common senti-ment. Still, members said that they are pre-pared to work alongside seasoned infantry.
“I’m ready to get going and get training.I’m going to do my job.”
“We’ll probably be playing in the sand,”Spc. James Montesano said of upcomingdesert training. “But we’ve been workinghard. We’ve been meeting for weeks, notjust for drills. We’d meet a week here, a weekthere, putting ourselves through a minia-ture mobilization, just trying to get our-selves as ready as we could. This way we’rebetter prepared once we get to the mobiliza-tion site.”
“We will backfill the 69th, augmenting asinfantry, doing whatever they need,” Sgt.Timothy O’Brien said. We won’t be drivingtanks. I’m a little anxious. Getting ready iseasy, saying goodbye isn’t. Privacy is some-thing I’ll miss, because we’ll be doing ev-erything together.”
And they’ll be doing it well, making use ofa wide array of skills and experience.
“We have a lot of experience, we haveretired policemen, carpenters, plumbers,guys who’ve spent time in the active Army,we have a good mix, and I think it will workwell,” 1st Lt. Stephen Kitchen, HHC XO 1st/69th said. “I think we’ll be all right. My mainconcern is to see to it that these guys comehome safely. All my thoughts and plans areabout bringing these guys home safely.”
“We’re doing this for our family,” Spc.David Santana said. His family, includinghis brother-in-law, niece, nephew, mother,dad, sister, and wife, came to see him off.Sgt. Andrew Dickson was having the sametough time leaving his family. His parentscame to see him off. “We’re very proud ofour guys,” his mother, Elaine, said.

“The only thing is there’s no way to pre-pare for leaving your family,” Spc Montesanosaid. “You get butterflies a lot worse thanyou did for basic.” Montesano also had toclose his hot-rod shop prior to departure,but he plans to reopen it upon his return.
Kathy Warden, Joan Plant, and LisaDethomasis of Family Readiness all workedhard to make things a little easier for every-one.
“We set a ‘Tree of Concern,’ so there willbe contact with all of the families,” Plant said.“We will have meetings and try to make surethat everyone’s ready, family-wise.” Thegroup brought food, drinks, played music,and set up tables and chairs for families touse. The reception was set up on the drillfloor. In the background, boxes wrapped inplastic sat on pallets.
Away from their families, Soldiers of the101st said they would rely on each other, andthey expressed faith in each other.
“These guys are great, they’re absolutelygreat,” Spc. Montesano said. “I couldn’t askto go with a better group of guys.”
“We have a lot of camaraderie,” Sgt.Dickson said. “If I had to choose to go withanyone, it would be with these guys.” “I’vebeen with the unit three wonderful years,”Spc. Santana said. “These guys are excel-lent.”
Troops of the 133rd Maintenance Company, New York Army National Guard held adeployment ceremony before leaving for Ft. Lewis, Washington in support of OperationEnduring Freedom. The ceremony took place Mar. 1 at the Peekskill Armory on an unseason-ably warm day.
Capt. Stephen Lynch, commander of the 133rd, assured families that the soldiers would be fine.The unit is tasked with evaluating and repairing equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan. The133rd will be mobilized for a period of one year.
“We’re going to take really good care of them,” Lynch said. “Rest assured they will be fine.Since we are going to Fort Lewis, Washington, the risks are not as great.”
This is not the first time the 133rd has been called to duty. The133rd deployed to Bosnia in 1996 for nine months and wonaccolades from Army commanders.
“Equipment that no one has been able to fix, we’ll be able tofix it,” Lynch said. “The unit will inspect equipment and make sureit is fully serviceable before going overseas for use in OperationEnduring Freedom.”
The 133rd will also inspect equipment returning from overseasand repair it if necessary. “I envision us being the best mainte-nance unit out there,” Lynch said.
Family members, senior officers and senior NCO’s were onhand for the event, which included promotions, speeches, andlast-minute briefings on family readiness issues. Col. MichaelSwezey, Commander of the 53 Troop Command, spoke before thefamily members, thanking them for their sacrifice. “These soldiers will be supporting the GlobalWar on Terror. If you look to the south, there are two buildings missing. That’s why we aredoing this today.”
Sgt. Maj. Charles Steele, the State Family Program Coordinator, attended the ceremony andbriefed soldiers and families on family readiness issues and the American Red Cross.
Senior officers and NCOs stressed their gratefulness to the soldiers and families and urgedthem to ready themselves and seek help or ask questions if they have any issues.
“I feel lucky that we get this opportunity to defend this country,” Lynch said. “We’re readyto tackle this mission and make New York State proud of us.”

It could have been a family reunion. The laughter of small children playing filled the air. Friends and relatives hugged and shook hands.A few people shed quiet tears, but beneath the mirth and fellowship was a mood that was more somber and subdued.
That’s because the people who gathered Monday at the New York State Armory in Horseheads were saying goodbye to about 80local National Guard soldiers who will soon leave loved ones behind to take part in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
“This will be the longest he’s ever been gone,” Penny Peters of Savona said of her husband Carl, a Corning Inc. employee who’s alsoa member of Company B, 204th Engineer Battalion. “We’re a little disappointed because our daughter is getting married. That makes it alittle tough on him. He has two grandsons too. They don’t quite understand. They’re five. They just know that grandpa is going away.”
The soldiers and their families gathered at the armory Monday for the farewell ceremony that also included local elected officials andNational Guard officers. In all, about 150 members of Company B, also known as Bravo Company, from Horseheads, Binghamton andPeekskill, will mobilize to take part in operations in Afghanistan. Two other New York Army National Guard companies were activated lastweek to support Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The troops from Bravo Company will ship out to Fort Polk, La., for additional training before heading to the Middle East for a deploymentthat could last up to 18 months. “We are a good mix of people. We’ve got a broad range of experience,” said company Commander Capt.Jonathan Dilmore, who is leaving his own family behind for his first overseas deployment. “We have people with civilian skills who alsohave military jobs. We have a large, diverse range of skills to draw from.”
Among the soldiers who will put their talents to work helping to rebuild Afghanistan is Staff Sgt. Robert L. Ayers of Dryden. Ayers, aheating, ventilation and air-conditioning technician in civilian life, has worked in Germany and other countries, but this will be his first long-term deployment. National Guard Cpl. Todd Hughes of Avoca, a maintenance supervisor at Lakeview Apartments in Bath, will put hisplumbing skills to use when he arrives in Afghanistan. Hughes will have to say goodbye to his parents, his wife, Tawyna, and two youngchildren. But he’s also looking forward to his new assignment.
“It will be hard being away from the family for a while, but I’m ready to go do my duty. I’m excited,” said Hughes, 29. “The hardest partwill be Christmas and holidays. But I can’t wait. I volunteered before they made it mandatory. I want to go and do it.”

Clad in desert-brown camouflage, the soldiers looked likea sandstorm as they rushed into the waiting arms of theirloved ones. It was the 427th Forward Support Battalion andthe 105th Military Police Company,
New York Army National Guard, coming home from theMiddle East and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
It’s been a long road—literally. Since last spring,they’ve been moving up and down Iraq’s highways, weath-ering the desert, enemy fire, and separation from theirfamilies to perform their respective missions—securingsupply convoys and delivering supplies.
“It’s very hard work,” said Capt. Michael Fowler, 105thMilitary Police Company commander. “It’s very long days,long nights, and it’s been a long, long year.”
“It feels absolutely great to be back on American soil,”said Sgt. Todd Howard, A Company, 427th Forward Sup-port Battalion. “We don’t have to worry about anythinganymore.”
The two units were welcomed home in separate ceremo-nies in April. The homecoming celebration for the 427th washeld at the Weidner Road Armory and Aviation SupportFacility Complex in Rochester, and the homecoming cer-
emony for105th MilitaryPolice Com-pany was heldat the NiagaraFalls Air Base.Both units weregreeted withcheers, Ameri-can Flags andh o m e m a d esigns.
Duty,stateside orabroad, is noth-ing new to the105th MilitaryPolice Com-pany. The unitdeployed toBosnia in 1999and New YorkCity in re-sponse to 9-11.The unitcounts amongits members
veterans of the first Gulf War. Fowler said the unit washeavily involved in a lot of the combat occupations imme-diately south of Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
“We had several missions,” Fowler said. “just south ofBaghdad, securing convoys of humanitarian supplies, sol-diers, military equipment—everything that moved in andout of Baghdad. We had to secure other soldiers as theywere resting on their travels through Iraq. We also had todo combat operations and night patrols to search for theanti-coalition forces and prevent them from attacking United States Soldiers.”
The 105th Military Police Company is returning as oneof the most accomplished units in the theatre, Fowleradded. These accomplishments include more than sixtycombat engagements. In addition to responding tomilitary and civilian traffic accidents, confiscating hun-dreds of illegal weapons, locating weapons and munitionscaches, the 105th Military Police Company ensured thesafe passage of over 400,000 Coalition vehicles throughtheir area of responsibility.
“We had strong opposition,” said Sgt. MichaelMaciejewski, 105th Military Police Company. “We hadenemy contact everyday...constant attacks trying to breakdown our progression.”
“Trying to get convoys in and out without gettingattacked was a very difficult thing for us,” said Andolina.She said teamwork was key to the unit’s success.
“We just stuck together. We’re just like a family andI’m going to miss everybody.” Andolina said she continu-ally looked to the unit’s Desert Storm veterans, who shesaid, taught her determination and situational awareness.
“They were there to guide us through everything,”she said. The unit also coordinated the repair of a largeirrigation pumping station, the repair of three local schoolsand two local medical clinics, established the first IraqiHighway Patrol Station in the country, and participated incombined operations with Special Forces and Multi-Na-tional units.
“We have a lot of accomplishments that we’revery proud of,” Fowler said. “They did not come withouta lot of struggle and hard work, but we’re finally at the point where we can celebrate and be thankful to be home.” Orsacrifice. Fowler also spoke about the loss of unit membersSpc. Michael Williams, 46, of Buffalo, and Sgt. HeathMcMillin, 29, of Clifton Springs, New York. Both soldierswere killed in action last year.
“There’s a lot of heavy hearts,” Fowler said. “Thesoldiers we lost, Heath McMillin and Michael Williams, willalways be with us. We’re so happy to be home, but weremember that there are two of our brothers
who aren’t coming home with us. We think about theirfamilies. We will remember them forever.”
“I feel very sad that we lost Heath McMillin and MikeWilliams,” said Spc. Pedro Quinones. “Heath McMillinwas my team leader, and I’ll never forget him. I wish hecould’ve been here today, because he always told me hewas going to bring me home.” Soldiers still in Iraq are alsoa source of concern, Fowler said.
“We’re also worried about the soldiers who are stillover there,” he said. “They have a job to do, and they haveto continue on where we left off. We know how difficult itis, first hand. But we’re going to pray for them, we’re goingto wish them the best, and hope they can enjoy the samehomecoming we did as soon as possible.”
Delivering supplies on the roads of Iraq and Kuwait werethe soldiers of the New York Army National Guard’s 719thTransportation Company and 427th Forward Support Bat-talion. About 40 members of the 427th Forward SupportBattalion were mobilized and merged with the 719th Trans-portation Company for the deployment.
Spc. Timothy Marciniak, A Company, 427th ForwardSupport Battalion, said the two units quickly overcametheir differences. “It was hard at first, but we all cametogether,” he said.
The transport soldiers were tasked with delivering sup-plies along the main supply route which runs northwestfrom Kuwait into the heart of Iraq. Marciniak said they werepart of the lifeline, and dubbed themselves the ‘HarlemExpress’ because the 719th Transportation Company isbased in Harlem, New York.
Marciniak described the missions as a 16-hour, 300 to 400-mile-a-day tasks.
“Some people did a 1000 [miles] a day,” he said. “Mosteverything [in Iraq] gets transported by truck,” said Spc.Jesus Vega, A Company, 427th Forward Support Battalion.“Our job was important.”
A native of Puerto Rico, Vega said Iraq and Kuwait werehotter than any place he had ever been. He described thesand in the region as fine and powdery. “It gets in your eyesand ears...it’s very bad,” Vega said. “With the heat and

“You always had doubt in your mind, but for me, itbecame routine,” he said. Sgt. Todd Howard said the roadsin Kuwait and Iraq are just like the roads of Rochester—except for the threat of attack. The traffic jams occur in thecities, he said, where modern vehicles use roads “made fora donkey and a cart.”
Howard estimated the unit was shot at as often as oncea month. He recalled once driving through the desert atnight as part of a two-vehicle convoy. As they approacheda fuel point, they were waved on because shots had beenfired nearby. The convoy headed to another camp abouteight miles up the road.
“It gets your heart racing, and your adrenaline pump-ing,” Howard said.
“All your training kicks in.” Running beside the road wasberm. Howard said the berm was about 300 meters off, andthat whoever had fired at the fuel point might be hidingbehind it, waiting to fire at them. He said everyone was sofocused that “you could heara pin drop over the noise ofthe engine.” Suddenly theysaw shadows up ahead, whichthey took to be enemy com-batants. Though the shad-ows turned out to be a herd ofcamels, Howard said, the thrillof possible combat stayedwith him for a while.
“When it’s happening, youdon’t think about your wifeand kid,” Howard said. “Youthink about the guy besideyou, and what you have todo.” A 719th Soldier embraceshis wife.
Quinones said he didn’tregret going to Iraq. “It’s ourduty to over [to Iraq]. Everysoldier wants to go over thereand see what our training is all about.” He said it was goodto be home. “I feel relieved, and glad, sad, happy, all at thesame time,” he said. “I’m just glad we can finally get on withour lives.”

From humble beginnings in a “rough neighborhoodin Brooklyn,” to his present duties at Camp Cintron,Poitevien said his career as a reservist in the MarineCorps has helped him succeed both in and out of themilitary.
“The Marine Corps gave me the discipline and thefocus that I needed to succeed,” he stated.
Poitevien began his career as an enlisted infantry-man with Fox Company 2/25, a Brooklyn-based re-serve unit. When Fox Company relocated to upstateNew York, he cross-trained into the communicationsfield because a communication reserve unit was onlyten minutes away from home, he said.
At his new unit, he worked as a digital switchtechnician with the 6th Communications Battalion,where he repaired switches on telephone systems.Marine Col. Mario LaPaix, CJTF-Haiti special advisorto the commanding general and head of the linguist

Perseverance pays off for Brooklyn Marine
On Saturday, Apr. 3, members of Long Island’s 14th Brigade, New York Guard, includingother military and civilian volunteers, boxed school and basic medical supplies forshipment to Iraq in support of “Operation Iraqi School.” Once received in Iraq, Soldiersfrom the 1st Calvary Division will distribute these supplies to schools and orphanagesthroughout Iraq.
U.S. Army Maj. Gregg Softy conceived of the project last year while serving in Baghdadwith the 1st Cavalry Division. Maj. Doug Proietto of the U.S. Army Reserve alsoenvisioned a similar effort to support an orphanage in Baghdad run by Mother Theresa’sSisters of Charity, while serving in Iraq with the 800th MP Brigade. Both Softly and Proiettoseparately contacted Capt. Raymond Mascolo of the New York Guard for assistance withfund raising and “Operation Iraqi School” emerged.
Capt. Mascolo, who was assisted by Lt. Brian Cepelak of the U.S. Naval Reserves,coordinated the operation and helped collect more than $5,000 in donations. Mascoloobserved, “I was proud to assist our soldiers who are helping Iraqi school children.”Westy’s Storage Center in Hicksville, NY donated the packaging space, materials, andpostage.
Cepelak and Proietto joined members of the New York Guard in the day’s packingactivities, along with Mr. Frank Greco, a member of the Long Island Parents of DeployedSoldiers whose son recently returned from duty in Iraq as a captain with the United StatesMarine Corps.
Members of the New York Guard expressed their satisfaction with the project’s goalsand the day’s work. To date, nearly 18,000 boxes of supplies such as pens, pencils,notebooks, and binders, plus simple medical supplies such as diapers, lotions, and band-aids, have been delivered.

section, said he has known Poitevien for years. LaPaixstated that Poitevien’s dedication and work ethicmanifest themselves in various ways. Poitevien’ssuccessful career is more a reflection of his love forthe Marine Corps than of his personal ambition.
“I’ve always been impressed with him,” LaPaixstated. “He’s a take charge kind of guy, and he’s notafraid of responsibility.” Marine Gunnery Sgt. JeanJoseph, a CJTF-Haiti linguist and one of Poitevien’scoworkers is also impressed with his work ethic.“He’s focused and adds some order in the office,”Joseph stated. “He’s a very reliable person… youcan definitely count on him."
LaPaix specifically requested that Poitevien deploywith him to Haiti. Despite the fact that the chiefwarrant officer had just married, he willingly de-ployed the day after, LaPaix said.
“That dedication to the Corps is unheard of. A guythat can pack up his stuff right after he gets marriedhas great work habits. But this Brooklyn native ispassionate about other things in his life as well. “Ilike to run… but that was something I developed overtime,” Poitevien said. He also said he likes to readfiction novels, but one of the most important thingsin his life is his family. “I definitely consider myselfa family man,” he stated, his thoughtful brown eyesstaring into the distance. I’d like to be able to spendmore time with my kids.”
The chief warrant officer stated that he also enjoyslife in the civilian world, and attributes his success asa central office manager with Verizon to the experi-ence the Corps gave him in the communications field.“I couldn’t have done the things I’ve done (withoutMarine Corps schooling),” he continued. Poitevienhas met many Marines who share the same interest,and the networking has been invaluable. The Ma-rines he’s met may have been just as influenced byhim as he was by them, Joseph said. “He motivatesMarines to better serve the Corps and help accom-plish the mission.” Poitevien has been a drivingforce in motivating Joseph to apply for warrant of-ficer school.
“The entire time I’ve known him, I’ve never knownhim to shirk any responsibilities,” LaPaix stated.“He’s a great worker, conscientious person, and agreat leader.”

“General Douglas MacArthur once said, “No man is en-titled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in itspreservation,”” commented Maj. Gen. Taluto. “These fel-low Rainbow Soldiers gave their lives not just for the idealof peace and liberty for the people of Iraq, but to protectthose same freedoms that are threatened here at home.”
“We shall never forget their sacrifice nor let it diminish ourresolve to succeed,” he said.
As Soldiers continue their training tasks and focus theirefforts and energies towards their mission in Iraq, recogni-tions are due for the families, employers and veterans’groups whom all provided the support necessary for oursuccess so far. Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) have cometogether in armories all across the many Rainbow Divisionstates and we will continue to reinforce their success.Division Soldiers have long known that the “Guard isFamily.” Our mission-focus overseas shall be matched onlyby our family-focus to support those at home who sacrificeso much for our Army and our nation.
Likewise, employers and communities have shown a tre-mendous outpouring of support and enthusiasm for ourdeployment, for it is they who make the citizen-soldierpossible. Lastly, Soldier thanks go out to members of theRainbow Division Veterans Memorial Foundation. Thoseveterans and family members of the 42nd Infantry Divisionwho came before know and understand that in this comingmission, our Soldiers are confident in their leaders, theirequipment and their mission ahead.
