It may not feel like fall on Fort Jackson yet, but the season has arrived. Fort Jackson directorates and organizations will host a month of events to celebrate everything fall and spooky as Halloween approaches.

Swine and Wine Octoberfest will kick off the month of festivities Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Palmetto Pavilion outside the post’s Solomon Center.

�� food, beer and wine, non-alcoholic and en-ergy drinks, and the 282nd Army Band,” said Kristin Wilcox, manager of Marion Street Station. “We are going to have a cake walk, beer stein race obstacle course and bounce house.”

Cake walk winners will receive cakes and cookies made by Army spouse Dymen Mc-Coy whose talent was discovered by the Fort Jackson community during the recent Blue Ribbon Bake-Off featured during the Pawe-some Flea Market last month.

Prizes will also be awarded for the win-ning two-person team of the beer stein race.

Children will also enjoy the fest with plen-

ty of running space at the pavilion, great eats and bounce houses.

�� done in a few years,” Wilcox said. “So I’m excited to see it back.”

Previous fests have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wilcox said this year’s event will be held outdoors to help mitigate the risk of spreading the virus.

“This will be a nice break for Families since the pandemic,” Wilcox said. “We will do this in a safe way so they (Families) can get out and have fun while feeling safe.”

Tickets will be sold at the event and can be used to purchase food and drinks. Wilcox

said Swine and Wine and games featured dur-ing the event will be free of charge. Tickets can be purchase for $1 by card and on loca-tion.

“Break out your lederhosen and dirndls. People working will be wearing aprons with lederhosen and dirndls on them,” Wilcox

said. “If you’re unsure what an Octoberfest is, come and check it out. There is lots of available parking and we are looking forward to a really good event.”

The Swine and Wine Octoberfest will take place Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Palmetto Pavilion outside the post’s Solomon Center.

The Army is proud of the diversity of the force that protects and defends the nation.

Sept. 15 thru Oct. 15 is a time to cele-brate the contributions and service of His-panic Soldiers to the nation. Chaplain Corps Soldiers have a long history of being a part of that legacy.

Deputy Chief of Chaplains, Chap. (Brig. Gen.) William “Bill” Green, Jr. recently spent time with Soldiers in the 56M - Reli-gious Affairs Specialist Advanced Individu-al Training course 21-013 where he shared comments on the importance of recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month.

“The strength of the Army is its diver-sity,” Green said. “Hispanic heritage month represents an excellent opportunity for the entire Army Family to celebrate the out-standing contributions of Hispanic Soldiers who stand shoulder to shoulder with all Sol-diers in defense of freedom.”

Hispanic Soldiers have contributed greatly to the Army and the Chaplain Corps.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH


Fort Jackson held a luncheon Sept. 28 at the NCO Club to celebrate Hispanic culture and the hard work and dedication Hispanic Soldiers have demonstrated while helping to build a more diverse and strong Army.

The luncheon opened with a buffet and video presentation by the U.S. Army School of Music featuring a compilation of Hispanic music from across the globe before the guest speaker took the podium.

“We are united today by this authentic and unique recognition,” said 165th Infantry Brigade Command Sgt. Maj. Roberto Guadarrama, the guest speaker. “This month we take the time and opportunity to formally recognize our nation’s His-

panic heritage contributions.”Guadarrama spoke about the contributions His-

panic Soldiers have made throughout American �� X"!"�7�� Cavalry unit called the Rough Riders who fought in Cuba, Puerto Rican 65th Infantry Regiment, or Borinqueneers, who fought in Korea and the 158th Infantry, better known as the Bushmasters, who �� ?��;��;��00"

Army leaders and military experts will focus, Oct. 11, on Army readiness – including Soldiers’ training, modernization and Army leadership – as part of a panel discussion on “Revisiting The Readiness Bal-ance,” during the Association of the U.S Army’s An-nual Meeting 2021.

As part of global readiness planning, the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Forces Command are imple-menting the Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM). Importantly, Re-ARMM supports all three Army priorities: People, Readiness, and Modernization.

The three-day AUSA meeting, Oct. 11-13, in Washington, D.C., will include “Contemporary Mili-tary Forum” panel presentations as part of the theme “America’s Army and its People, Transforming for the Future.”

U.S. Army Forces Command Commanding Gen-eral, Gen. Michael Garrett, will lead the readiness panel with four panelists: Lt. Gen. James E. Rainey,

Victims of abuse can feel isolated and discouraged. For the families of military service members, this isola-tion can be more intense when living far from extended family and close friends. If you’ve bravely decided to leave an abusive relationship, tran-�� get back on your feet. To be eligible ��

� Your service member must have been either separated under a court martial sentence, sentenced to a for-feiture of all pay and allowances by a court martial for a dependent abuse offense or administratively separat-ed, at least in part, for a dependent-abuse offense.

A dependent-abuse offense must be listed as a reason for the separa-tion or forfeiture, although it does not have to be the primary reason. Active duty victims of domestic violence are also eligible for transitional compen-sation, when the offender is also ac-

tive duty.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Story Continued from Page 3

Being a single UPAR or, like Salas, a unit so-cial media manager can be a daunting additional duty, Salas seems to enjoy the unique and rewarding work.

“I’m by myself and have to be at multiple events every day,” she

said. “I love my job.”Soldiers interested in

becoming a UPAR can contact the Fort Jack-�� ?�� %�� at 751-5272 to schedule training to learn basic pub-lic affairs functions such as story writing, photography and social media content creation and management.

“Come talk to us,” Sul-ly said. “We can provide you the basics (you) would need to know to become a UPAR.”

A budget is only as accurate as the information used while creating it. You must be honest with yourself about your income and expenditures.

If you are unsure of how much you spend in a particular area such as dining out, combing through the past two to three months of bank state-ments can help provide an estimate.

Ideally, your income is greater than your expenses, however, this is not always the case. This is when it be-comes necessary to make adjustments to prevent overspending. Adjustments can come from your variable expens-

es such as dining out, entertainment, or cancelling unused memberships or subscription services. Unfortunately, if your expenses are still more than your income you will have to reduce �� possible to achieve a balanced budget.

Sosa summed up the feel-ings of the six Soldiers.

“My Family has always been very supportive of my decision,” Sosa said. “When I joined the Army it made them proud and excited to know I was going to accomplish my dream.”

Aldana added she comes �� \�� <�-lombian-American household, and my parents worked hard in the U.S. to provide for their Family.”

Leader Staff Reports

Col. Ryan Hanson, Fort Jackson’s garri-son commander issued a proclamation Oct. 1, calling on the Fort Jackson community to help end domestic violence.

His proclamation states: “Domestic Vio-lence Awareness Month is recognized October of each year. Our goal is to raise awareness of the warning signs of relationship abuse and help individuals and couples address prob-lems early. No one deserves to be abused and anyone can suffer. Any time an Army Family member suffers from abuse, we fall short of our goals for readiness.

“Everyone plays a role in upholding the Army’s values and standards that support safe and healthy relationships in the military com-munity. Without every one of us doing our part, we cannot say our Army is fully ready to meet the mission of preventing domestic violence.

“Preventing domestic abuse is a shared community responsibility, and one that starts with a message of support for victims. There-fore, the message to everyone in the Fort Jackson community for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2021 is clear and simple:

“Let us unite to end domestic abuse in our community.

“Simple actions can help protect victims. Take action and get help in your own relation-ships through the Family Advocacy Program, Military OneSource, and the National Domes-tic Hotline. Through outreach, we can raise awareness of domestic abuse with Family, friends, co-workers, and community mem-bers.:

“Join me in making this October’s Domes-tic Violence Awareness Month the beginning of a year-round campaign to avoid domestic abuse. Let the Fort Jackson Family Advocacy Program be your partner in preventing and re-ducing the risk of domestic abuse, and restore valued relationships that are deteriorating.”

Hanson: ‘Preventing domestic abuseis a shared community responsibility’

Power and control. That describes what inti-mate partner violence is in a nutshell.

In any form, IPV is all about holding power and control on an intimate partner. Many meth-ods can be used to maintain control over another person: physical violence, isolation, coercion, threats, verbal abuse, psychological abuse, stalking and many more. Victims feel they do not have many options when trying to leave a violent relationship.

I use the term “relationship” loosely because when you think about relationships you think about qualities like fairness and balance, com-promise and sharing. Those qualities are never found with IPV.

One can never predict who will become a victim of IPV. IPV is found in every socio-eco-

nomic status, with those who identify as gay or straight, every ethnicity, every religious denomi-nation, and in the young and old. And victims are not always who you think they are. They can be a high school dropout or hold a PhD and ev-erything in between. And they can also be men.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1 in 10 men in the U.S. report experiencing some type of IPV. Seeking help for 0?7�� &��"�

Barriers for men seeking assistance include pride, embarrassment, fear of not being be-lieved, minimizing the abuse, and because of the limited services available to them.

Paul M. Galda, Francine Cheater and Paul Marshall wrote that these barriers are why the services of a victim advocate are so important. A victim advocate can assist IPV victims in many ways. The primary role of a victim advocate is to make sure victims are safe. Army victim advo-

cates can assist victims with reporting options, court accompaniment, transportation, emergen-cy shelter, resources, and referrals.

Advocates are professionally trained to work with male and female victims, and can assist in a non-judgmental manner helping them to navi-gate unfamiliar territory at their own pace. Each Army installation has victim advocates available 24/7.

At Fort Jackson if you are a victim of IPV or know of someone who is, contact an advocate on the 24 hr. on-call phone at (803) 429-4870. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is avail-able at https://www.thehotline.org/, by phone at (800)-799-7233, or by texting “START” at 88788. No one deserves to live a life of fear. Ev-eryone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. For more information or to speak with a victim advocate you can call the on-call phone or ACS at 751-5256.

Grinston said that the brigade-level Sergeant Major Assessment Program will become the standard evaluation for promotion beginning in November. He added that the service will be-gin a battalion-level evaluation at the Sergeants Major Academy at Fort Bliss, Texas, early next year.

Among the changes to the brigade-level evaluation will be removing time in service as a

variable to compete for promotion, he said. Test-ing for the assessment began in November 2020 with the evaluation of about 30 brigade-level sergeants major at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

�0��6�� &��&�� &��you know you can do more … we’re not going to limit you by time in service to be a brigade CSM,” Grinston said. “In November, if you pass that assessment and you’ve made the list and we need you, then you get to be a brigade (com-mand) sergeant major.”

The Army recently completed the pilot phase of its First Sergeant Talent Alignment Assess-ment and has taken the next step in its evaluation process at Fort Carson, Colorado. The assess-

ment examines master sergeants on their cogni-tive, leadership and decision-making abilities.

In addition to strengthening the force, Guadarrama spoke of the opportunities that being a U.S. citizen brings to many immigrants including his own Family.

“I happen to be one of those opportunities,” he said. “I still remember vividly the boarder �� %�� proudly.”

He reminisced about how his mother began her journey to America hiking through rough terrain. Led by her courage, her strong will and determination to realize her dream of becoming an American, her dream became a reality and marked the begin-ning the Guadarrama family.

“I have an incredible amount of debt that I owe this country for allowing my mother and

father to stay,” he said. “My children now make the second generation who love our coun-try with all our heart and deeper respect.”

“In the end, just to keep this simple,” he said as he closed his speech. “Treat people right with dignity and respect.”

Guadarrama received a standing ovation as he retreated from the podium back to his table. Along the way, he was presented with a statuette as a thank you for telling his story by the Soldier Support Insti-tute Deputy Commander Col. Cort J. Hunt and Command Sgt. Maj. Anthony Wilson. SSI hosted the event.

As the ceremony came to a close, attendees were wel-comed to view a presentation board featuring Hispanic-Americans who left a lasting impact on society through their acts, inventions and contribu- �� communities.

“We have to be more precise in the deliv-ery of readiness across the Army if we want to keep our modernization efforts on track and if we want to maintain some of our People First initiatives, we have got to make sure the readiness we’re delivering is the readiness re-quired,” Garrett said. “But there’s a little bit more to consider, too,” he told the group.

As an example, he pointed out the unex-pected, but ongoing Operation Allies Wel-come mission hosting Afghan guests at mili-tary bases in the United States.

�=�� -cient readiness to meet requirements … and then a little more to be able to account for the unforeseen” he told the group. “We’re always going to have that, things that cause us to re-act,” Garrett said. “We have to be agile enough to be able to absorb missions that we didn’t see coming.”

Garrett explained these unforeseen major missions have an impact on readiness. “We can’t have a unit lifecycle and readiness model that’s not agile enough to absorb shocks like this or requirements like this because they are going to happen,” he said. “That’s what we do in the Army.”

“This is important work,” Rainey told the FORSCOM Synchronization and Resourcing Conference. “We’ve got to learn, to adjust … �� "�� 6�� X"!"�Army solves the hard problems for our Na-tion.”

%�� 5��principles associated with the REARMM G��

1. Support high readiness and moderniza-tion objectives.

2. Ensure the right capability is in the right place at the right time to ensure overmatch.

3. Optimizes the Total Army for current competition demands and postures the force to respond during escalation to crisis.

4. Formations aligned under a mission line will have the same assigned modernization �� equipment.

5. Future readiness is modernization.The U.S. Army Forces Command Readi-

ness Guidance for Fiscal Year 2022 elaborates

on these. “The ReARMM model provides predictability and stability for both combatant commanders and units/ soldiers/families by aligning units against mission lines (People), predictably providing time for moderniza-tion (Modernization/ Change), and preparing tailored readiness to meet mission require-ments (Readiness),” the guidance explains. “ReARMM also reduces risk in transition to �� capabilities (Deter), reassuring our allies and partners (Defend), and posturing the Army to defeat our adversaries, if deterrence fails.”

�� &� #�3!<�G�units achieve appropriate levels of readiness, focused by Large Scale Combat Operations,” the guidance outlines. “Mobilization and de-ployment preparedness remain essential to employing ready forces. FORSCOM precise-ly allocates resources to appropriately man,

equip, and train units to achieve the readiness required to accomplish combatant command mission and contingency requirements within the ReARMM construct.”

“The Army must balance the continuous demand for current readiness from combatant command requirements with the imperative to secure future readiness, all without overly stressing our people or our equipment,” Army �� <��&�@��"

“To this end, the Army developed, tested, and rehearsed a new unit lifecycle model that �� N�'�� 3��-ally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM). ReARMM will harmo-�� %�� "�It will take care of people by reducing opera-tional tempo and maximizing predictability and stability to commanders, Soldiers, and families.”

“ReARMM will sustain readiness by carving out dedicated windows for build-ing readiness at echelon while aligning units with primary regions and functions. Regional alignment provides units deep wells of knowl-edge on the terrain, culture, and people where their units are most likely to operate,” Army �� !� � %��!�� <�� &� @�� "� � �@�� commanders also gain by leveraging habitual, trusted relationships between Army forma-tions and Allies and partners.”

“Finally, ReARMM will facilitate modern-ization by giving units dedicated windows to integrate new equipment, reorganize forma-tions, and train on new doctrine.” Army of-�� <��"� �%�� transitions the Army from small, incremental, evolutionary modernization of platforms to large-step modernization of our formations.”

U.S. Army Paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force answer the Nation’s call in August 2021 deploying to the U.S. Central Command area of operations as part of a Non-Combatant Evacuation mission in Afghanistan to facilitate the safe evacuation of U.S. Citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants and other at-risk Afghans. The 82nd Airborne Soldiers assisted these personnel to depart Afghanistan as quickly and safely as possible while also treating the Afghan people with compassion, humanity and dignity.
