NCOs graduate inaugural cohort of Benavidez LDP

“A Heartfelt Thank You”Dear West Point community,

I am a security guard at West Point, and on behalf of myself and all of the other security guards here, we want to say “thank you.” Thank you to all the military, dependents and civilians who over the past two months, when the weather was bitterly cold, took the time, and spent money, to show you cared by bringing us hot coffee at the gates.

We do this because it is our job to ensure your safety. Most of the times, security or law enforcement are thankless professions. The people of West Point had changed that! From the lady that brings in two cups of Cumberland Farms coffee on a Monday through Friday basis, or the lieutenant colonel’s wife that asked him to turn around and come back through the gate so she could offer to buy myself and the

military policeman a cup of coffee to warm us up. The lady that came in saying she was running

late for church, but wanted to bring some afterward, which she did. Even one of our own guards delivers coffee and, at times, food, to help warm us up.

It is awesome to know in the hustle and bustle of today’s world that there are some people who think of others, and do it out of the kindness if their hearts. There are probably several other instances of this sort of kindness, I wanted to return it by simply saying “thank you” from my experiences.

I wish I knew your names to thank you personally. Again, thank you from myself and all the other security guards here at West Point, I am proud to serve and protect you.

—An Appreciative Security Guard

West Point Faculty member found dead By U.S. Military Academy Media Relations

A U.S. Military Academy instructor was found deceased Sunday afternoon while off-post, according to the Atlantic City Police Department in New Jersey. Although an investigation is underway, there is no indication of foul play at this time.

Maj. Benjamin Recla, 33, was assigned to the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering and served as an officer representative for the West Point Flying Team.

“I wish to extend to his family the sincere and profound sympathy of all the officers, cadets and other members of this command,” said Superintendent Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen, Jr.

Recla graduated from the academy in 2004 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Aviation branch. He was assigned previously to the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, and served multiple deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Twenty-five NCOs graduated from the inaugural cohort of the Benavidez Leader Development Program (BLDP) during a ceremony in the Thayer Award Room Feb. 26.

Upon completion of the program, each graduate received a certificate in social organizational psychology, which is accredited by Columbia University, and can be used as a level of proficiency in leader development and change management.

Named after Medal of Honor recipient, the late Master Sgt. Roy P. Benavidez, the BLDP is an executive education leader development program designed to prepare West Point’s Cadet Company Tactical NCOs for the academic rigors associated with training cadets.

For the past 11 years, the U.S. Military Academy has partnered with the United States’ oldest and largest graduate school of education, Teachers College, Columbia University, for the Eisenhower Leader Development Program (ELDP) which prepares Company Tactical Officers (TACs) for their assignment as the legal commanders of companies within the Corps of Cadets. Similarly, the BLDP equips TAC NCOs with education experience comparable to that of their commissioned counterparts.

“This program was designed to give our tactical NCOs a world-class executive education in organizational leadership, to prepare them to better train and lead their cadet companies and

enhance the overall effectiveness of their TAC teams,” Command Sgt. Maj. David M. Clark, the U.S. Military Academy’s senior enlisted leader, explained. “This educational experience will also prepare them to excel when they return to the operational Army as future first sergeants, sergeants major and command sergeants major.”

The BLDP’s training regimen began with a week of ELDP graduates administering a course focused on leadership and history. For the next two weeks, program participants relocated to Columbia University where instructors from Teachers College taught courses in Leadership and Supervision, Executive Coaching, Organizational Psychology, and Group and Organizational Dynamics and Change. Included in the second phase were numerous enrichment activities such as visits to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, McGraw Hill Financial and the New York Police Department to enhance the classroom instruction.

“One thing that went exceptionally well was the executive coaching portion,” course participant and Company G-4 TAC NCO, Sgt. 1st Class Timothy Brown said as he reflected on a key point of the BLDP. “It gave us a different perspective by forcing us to look at things from many different angles. We learned to tailor our conversations and focus on the problems.”

Master Sgt. Johnny Merriweather, a course participant and TAC NCO for Company I-4, agreed.

“Initially, I thought it may have been something that would hinder me from achieving other goals that I was working toward,” he said.

“Once I actually started the course, I was just blown away by how much, as a senior leader, there is still for me to learn about leadership and leader development.”

The Academy anticipates taking three years to reach its goal of having every assigned TAC NCO complete the program, which also awards 10 continuing education units accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training.

“We could and should have been doing more to provide some commensurate experience for

our irreplaceable noncommissioned officers who share the responsibility of being integrators of cadet development,” said Col. Diane Ryan, director of the Benavidez Leader Development Program and deputy department head of the U.S. Military Academy’s Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership. “I hope that this program has provided the tools and inspiration for our TAC NCOs to bring their leader development skills to the next level both here at West Point and in subsequent assignments elsewhere in the Army.”

Warner Burke of Teachers College, Columbia University following a graduation ceremony in the Thayer Award Room Feb. 26. Named after Medal of Honor recipient, the late Master Sgt. Roy P.

3March 3, 2016Pointer View IN FOCUS: MISSION COMMAND CONFERENCEMCC: “Mission Command in a Complex World”

First Class cadets, ROTC cadets and senior Midshipmen listen to officers of the 3rd Infantry Division during the Mission Command Conference on Feb. 25 at Eisenhower Hall.

Story and Photos by Michelle EberhartAssistant Editor

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point hosted the Mission Command Conference Feb. 24-25. First class cadets were given the opportunity to learn from numerous company grade officers about their individual experiences in the Army as well as their personal roles and responsibilities.

Approximately 80 members of the active force from four different divisions formed the backbone of the conference. Other participants included 80 cadets from U.S. Army Cadet Command (ROTC) and 20 Midshipmen who are entering the U.S. Marine Corps.

During the Thursday morning panels at Eisenhower Hall, cadets traveled to each room to learn about Mission Command in Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe and Kuwait.

Officers of different ranks, from first lieutenants to lieutenant colonels, spoke about their individual roles in Mission Command.

One officer made a comparison between deployment and the Super Bowl, saying that each are feats that require ample preparation and training, as well as teamwork throughout the whole process.

“It’s an interesting experience. We kind of get mission command from a lot of different points of view and how each unit interprets it,” Class of 2016 Cadet Jordan Loboda said of the conference. “It varies pretty widely and so far it’s been interesting to get different perspectives from the battalions and then the company commanders and lieutenants themselves.”

Readiness on the battlefield and leadership roles were common themes throughout the day.

Lt. Col. Kevin Jackson of the 10th Mountain Division emphasized the importance of maintaining integrity no matter the circumstances.

“It’s easy to be a leader of character on a good day, but what is important are the decisions you make on a bad day,” Jackson said.

Cadets took the advice to heart.“Everything won’t go as planned,” Class of

2016 Cadet Dartie Gilet remarked. “The biggest thing is just being positive because if you’re not positive then it will not only reflect the mission, but your platoon as well.”

Upon gradua t ion , cade t s wi l l be commissioned as second lieutenants in the Army and may be leading Soldiers into battle.

“I think it’s good to understand the mindset,” Class of 2016 Cadet Genna Gibbons said. “They’ve been taking mission command and

breaking it down to very specific contexts within operations that they’ve done. I think definitely having the platoon leaders here has been beneficial because you get the company commanders’ broad scope of it and then applicable to how it works for lieutenants.”

By hearing firsthand experiences and stories from lieutenants, a rank they will soon hold, it allows cadets to wrap their heads around their future duties.

“The main thing that they’ve been talking about is what things lieutenants struggle with in exercising mission command when they first show up and then what they’re good at,” Class of 2016 Cadet Matthew Martino said. “Also, just advice for lieutenants, too.

“I think it’s good to just take a day to focus on this instead of like 50 minutes after lunch, I think a whole day thing to really dig deep into everything is good,” Martino added.

The Army budget request for fiscal year 2017 totals a little more than $148 billion and includes a 1.6 percent raise for Soldiers. Lt. Gen. Karen Dyson, the military deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for financial management and comptroller, said this year’s budget request was developed with a focus on boosting readiness.

Army readiness is developed primarily with operations and maintenance funding, and this year the Army has requested some $45.2 billion in that account across all three components (Active, Reserves and National Guard).

The FY17 O&M funding request is expected to support an increased focus on decisive action readiness across the force, 19 combat training center rotations, and the continued professional development of Soldiers and Army civilians.

Dyson, who was speaking at a monthly Association of the U.S. Army breakfast, Feb. 18, outlined what Chief of Staff

Dyson outlines Army 2017 budget request, chief focus on readinessof the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley sees as major threats and priorities for the Army and how they meld into the Department of Defense budget.

One of those priorities is participation in the increased activity in Europe that comes as a response to Russian aggression.

The Army must also be prepared to respond on the Korean peninsula, where North Korea’s actions are driving instability.

Additionally, China’s assertive behavior, though not aggressive like Russia’s, could become a bigger threat in the future, she said. Another concern is Iran’s destabilizing influence in in the Middle East.

Finally, Dyson said, the Army continues to combat the terrorist threat in the Central Command area of responsibility, especially against the Islamic State.

Being prepared to respond to those threats requires an Army that is well-versed in the full spectrum of military combat operations and the Army budget, which is wholly aligned with Department of Defense priorities.

The DOD budget, Dyson said, includes three priorities that the Army has mirrored in its own budget.

“One is to strengthen deterrent capabilities; the second is to find the best balance between manning, readiness and modernization with a focus on rebuilding full-spectrum capabilities,” she said. “The third is to see innovative approaches, not just through technology, but also through, human capital ... through plans and operational concepts and institutional reform.”

ModernizationWhile the Army is concerned primarily with near-term

readiness and capability, it’s also presently investing in new lethality capability for Stryker brigades.

Additionally, the Army is modernizing or modifying existing equipment by investing in engineering change proposals on existing combat platforms such as the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Dyson said, noting that much returning equipment is being brought to fully mission-capable standards as units come and go in rapid deployment.

Crew: The Army West Point Crew team made history as the Women’s Team Captain, Class of 2016 Cadet Catherine Browning, earned a bronze medal in the 2016 C.R.A.S.H.-B. World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston Sunday.

The team sent 13 cadets to compete in the grueling race, where each athlete is required to row 2,000 meters on an ergometer, an indoor rowing machine, against elite competitors from across the world.

Shattering her old West Point 2K record by more than three seconds, Browning finished with a time of 6:58.6 in the Open Women’s Division, the premiere event of the day.

The unprecedented effort put her in third place out of 155 competitors, while earning her the top spot in the collegiate category (first out of 122 competitors).

Class of 2018 Cadet Chris Wagner was the top Army rower in the Open Men’s Division, pulling a personal record of 6:14.7 (just two seconds off of the Army record), to earn a finish of 29th place out of 179 participants, and 18th place out of 89 collegiate qualifiers.

Class of 2018 Cadet Charlie Toch followed closely behind with a time of 6:16.7 to put him in 34th place. The fastest novice woman, Class of 2019 Cadet Sarah Boelter, finished in 42nd place with an impressive time of 7:29.7. The lone novice male participant, Class of 2019 Cadet Bradley Rossignol, set a personal record with a time of 6:37.0.

It was a superb showing by Army Crew on an international stage. After the team hosts the 2nd annual Golden Oar Run at 4:30 p.m. today, the team will transition back to water operations and head to Clemson, South Carolina, for two-a-day practices

during spring training. The team will kick off the spring season with a home

competition against RMC April 2, followed by weekend competitions for the month of April, ending with Nationals in Philadelphia in early May.

Ultimate: The West Point Ultimate team traveled to Southern New Jersey to compete in their first spring tournament, Bring the Huckus, Feb. 27-28. Army was seeded in the top half of 47 teams from the Northeast in the competition.

Army went 1-3 on Feb. 27 in round-robin pool play, with a win followed by three close losses by two points or less. On Sunday, Army fought back to win the first two games of the day, including an upset win of a very strong, higher seeded NYU team. The Army plebes, which make up more than 60 percent of the team, played strong all weekend and are now fully integrated into the team due to their hard work and commitment at practices.

In windy conditions on Feb. 27, Army opened with a 12-8 win over Wesleyan (Connecticut). Army jumped out to a big halftime lead and finished strong for the win.

In the last three games of the tournament, Army lost to College of New Jersey 11-9, Hartford 8-6 and Syracuse 10-9. Army battled hard in all three games, but the losses put Army in the 17th-25th bracket for day two, giving Army a lot of motivation to win on day two.

At the start of day two, Army faced a higher seeded Columbia team in the first round. Army led the entire game, building a 6-2 lead before

eventually winning 10-7. Division III Army advanced to the next game of the day feeling confident and started by scoring twice before grinding to a 7-7 tie as time expired against Division I NYU. Playing for the final point in overtime, Army made some exceptional defensive plays and scored to win the game 8-7. In the final game of the day, Army played a larger, more rested Boston University squad, falling to them and finishing 20th in the tournament. Overall, Army continued its never give up attitude and followed some tough losses on the first day with tremendous resiliency, playing with a lot of heart en route to big victories on the second day.

What is the ‘Zika’ virus?Zika is a mosquito-borne virus closely

related to yellow fever, dengue and West Nile viruses. Discovered in Uganda in 1947, the current outbreak of Zika virus in Brazil began in early 2015 and has spread to over 20 other

countries in the Americas, including Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Although only 20 percent of people infected will have symptoms, the virus has been associated with an increased risk of Guillain-Barr Syndrome, a neurological disorder, and microcephaly, a birth defect characterized by smaller than normal head size.

Being knowledgeable about the Zika virus is important to the Army because with ongoing operations around the world, the Army continues to strive to protect the health and readiness of total force and their families.

Army Medicine will continue to educate all personnel and benefi ciaries about Zika virus and provide updates as they arise.

Freshman midfielder Rachel Treweeke netted a hat trick to lead five Black Knight goal scorers, as the Army West Point Women’s Lacrosse team came away with a 10-8 victory over UMass Lowell Sunday afternoon at Wicked Blue Turf Field in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Army picks up its first road win and collects its third straight victory to improve to 3-1, while UMass Lowell slips to 0-3.

Treweeke added an assist to her career-best three-goal effort, while sophomores midfielder Rachel Hornick and attackman Amy Johnston, and freshman midfielder Kelsea Krauss each scored twice.

Johnston also won a game-high six draws and collected four ground balls, and Krauss tallied a pair of assists. Sophomore midfielder Kiersten Spencer netted her first of the year and added an assist, while midfielders junior Erin Jollota and freshman Manuela Cortes also tacked on assists.

Freshman goalkeeper Kayla Rowley made four stops in her fourth start of the season and scooped up three ground balls.

Taylor Sokol scored three times to lead UMass Lowell and Noelle Lambert netted one goal and provided three assists.

Courtney Barrett finished with eight saves in the setback.

Army got on the board first, 2:20 into the contest, when Treweeke scored on an assist from Krauss, as the Black Knights scored first for the second time this year.

Sokol found the back of the net with 18:55 remaining in the opening half to bring UMass Lowell back to a 1-1 tie, but the Black Knights tallied two more goals during the next 1:05 to regain the lead. Hornick and Krauss contributed the second and third goals, respectively, with Krauss’ marker coming as the first of her career.

The River Hawks scored three of the game’s next four goals to pull back to a 4-4 tie by the 2:44 point of the first half, but Johnston scored with 1:01 left in the opening frame, as the Black Knights took a 5-4 advantage into the break.

Army outscored UMass Lowell, 4-1, over the first 12:50 of the second half to build the lead to four, 9-5.

Treweeke and Hornick tallied goals 10 seconds apart early in the period to give the visitors a 7-4 lead before Jane Dudley scored to bring the River Hawks back to within two with 23:11 remaining.

Treweeke completed the hat trick with a free-position goal at the 22:30 mark and Spencer found the back of the net for the first time this season with 17:10 remaining to make the score 9-5.

Oertner, Minato guide Army Women’s Basketball past LehighBy Harrison AntognioniArmy Athletic Communications

The Army West Point Women’s Basketball team picked up its 15th straight win and matched a program record with 25 victories after defeating Lehigh, 69-49, on Feb. 27 at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Army improves to 25-2 overall and 16-1 in the Patriot League, while Lehigh drops to 17-11 and 10-7.

Senior guard Kelsey Minato scored a game-high 23 points and made five three-pointers to reach 87 triples for the season to pass her own team single-season record of 84 that she set last year.

Senior forward Aimee Oertner, playing just 20 miles from her hometown of Slatington, Pennsylvania, finished with 16 points, eight boards, five assists and three blocks.

Sophomore guard Daizjah Morris and freshman forward Madison Hovren each added nine points off the bench, while Hovren also collected a career-high-tying seven rebounds.

Lexi Martins led Lehigh with an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double and Kerry Kinek also finished in double figures with 11 points.

Army opened the game on an 8-2 run that included six points from Oertner, but Lehigh cut its deficit back to three after three straight points from Martins to move the score to 8-5 by the first quarter’s 3:58 mark.

The Black Knights went on to build six points advantages of 11-5, 13-7 and 16-10 before finishing the period on a 5-2 run.

Minato knocked in a three-pointer at the first quarter’s 1:30 mark and Hovren scored on a lay-up with 54 seconds remaining in the opening frame.

Johnson hit a pair of triples and netted eight of Army’s first 10 points in the second quarter, as the visitors started the period on a 10-0 run that boosted the lead to 17, 31-14, 3:13 into the frame.

The Mountain Hawks scored the next six points during the ensuing 1:27 to trim their deficit back to 11 points, 31-20, before Morris buried a corner three to make the score 34-20 with 4:24 to play until halftime.

The Black Knights closed the half by outscoring the hosts, 9-4, with Minato contributing four points, Oertner adding a pair, and Morris sinking a three-pointer with two seconds before the halftime whistle to send Army into the break with a 43-24 advantage.

Martins went 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to cap a 14-4 Lehigh run that spanned the first 4:53 of the second half and brought Mountain Hawks back to within single digits, 47-38.

Minato quieted the scoring stretch with consecutive three-pointers, coming at the 4:56 and 4:15 marks of the third frame, to move Army back out to a 15-point lead.

Minato’s back-to-back threes began a 12-3 run for the Black Knights that extended the margin to 18 points, 59-41, by the conclusion of the third period.

Army extended the 12-3 scoring run to 17-3, after beginning the fourth quarter with three points from Minato and two from sophomore

Aliyah Murray. Morris converted her third three-pointer of

the evening to move the visitors out to a 25-point

advantage, 69-44, with 6:52 left. Lehigh scored the last five points to finish the contest to pull to a 30-point deficit.

The Army West Point Hockey team closed out the regular season with a 2-2 tie Feb. 27 against Bentley in Watertown, Massachusetts, and will host a first-round series in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament.

Army (11-13-9, 8-11-9 AHA) took three of four points from the Falcons and is the sixth seed in the upcoming Atlantic Hockey Tournament. The Black Knights will host American International.

The Black Knights were led by junior forward Clint Carlisle and senior forward Shane Hearn, who had goals tonight for the visitors.

Freshman forward Ian Mansfield chipped in with his second point of the weekend with an assist, while senior forward Joe Kozlak and sophomore defenseman Joe Shecter tallied helpers as well. Junior goaltender Parker Gahagen stopped 35 saves in net to get the tie.

Bentley (11-16-5, 9-13-4 AHA) got goals from Alexey Soloyvey and Andrew Chugg, while Soloyvey was the team’s high scorer with two points after tallying an assist.

Gabe Antoni finished with 27 saves

and was impressive when he had to be. The Black Knights continued their

hot start from last night and took a 1-0 lead with Carlisle scoring 4:30 into the game. He was able to control a bouncing puck and found Antoni out of position and hit the back of net for his sixth of the season. Kozlak and Shecter were given the assists on the play.

The Falcons answered with 11:58 on the clock with Chugg tying the game at 1-1 with assists to Solovyev and Tyler Krause. Bentley took a 2-1 advantage with Soloyvev scoring on Gahagen with 6:56 left in the first period with an assist to Krause.

Army tied the game at 2-2 with 4:44 left in the second period. The Black Knights took advantage of a defensive mistake by the Falcons and Hearn chipped a backhander over the outstretched pads of Antoni.

That was the end of the scoring for the night as the teams settled for a 2-2 tie. Army finished in a tie with Canisius for the sixth spot and owned the tiebreaker after taking three of four points against the Griffs earlier this season.

All three games of the best-of-three series start at 7:05 p.m. against American International.
