in a timely manner.
For the returning spouses, be sure to check the expiration date on your ID card to avoid any issues
that may arise. Please remember . EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE (and probably will).
We wish you and your family a wonderful reunion with your Soldier. As always, we are here for

DRIVING ON THE INSTALLATION AND IN NY
Some information to assist you while driving on and around the installation. Please be aware
that New York State law prohibits the use of cell phones by the driver unless the individual is
using a hands free device. Holding the phone in your hand with the speakerphone on is
prohibited. Using text message while driving is prohibited in the state. If a police officer
suspects you are doing either, they may pull you over. This is a fine of approximatel $150.
Headlights are required if your wipers are operating. Headlights are also required 30 minutes
prior to sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise.
While driving on the installation, please decrease speed to 10MPH when passing Soldiers
engaged in training on the shoulder of the road or performing PT.
GATE PROCEDURES
At this time, it is possible to enter Fort Drum without signing in at the gate and without a
military ID. Please ensure you have the items listed below and that the up-to-date documents
are in your vehicle. Passengers, 16 years and older, may be asked to provide identification.

The gate personnel will scan all identification. Individuals with outstanding legal issues or
criminal records may be refused access to the installation.
Please note, all vehicles entering Fort Drum are subject to 100% search by the military police
and / or Department of Defense Police. Any personnel with restricted items may face legal
action. Please ensure all weapons are removed from the vehicle prior to attempting to enter
the installation.
VEHICLE INSPECTION
Fort Drum Regulation requires that allvehicles must have a current vehicle safety inspection,
regardless of which state the vehicle is registered in. If the vehicle is registered in a state that
does not require safety inspections, the owner must obtain a NY State inspection. State

WELCOMING THE SOLDIERS HOME
BANNERS
Banners are a wonderful tradition for welcoming our Soldiers home. The Battalion will have
company specific banners posted in the welcome home venues for each ceremony. Family
members are welcome to post banners for individual Soldiers; however, the family will be
responsible for removal of the banners. Banners cannot be posted in the gyms more than 24
hours prior to the ceremony. Please keep banners and signs in good taste. Personalized
banners are NOT permitted on the fence line by the airfield and will be removed immediately
then thrown away.
It is possible to purchase vinyl banners online for minimal cost. Some suggestions are below.
www.vistaprint.com(custom banner upload available)
www.partybanner.com(has ordnance, HUMVEE and 10th
Mtn graphic, free coordinating
balloons with banner order)
www.buildasign.com(low price, quick turn around)
REDEPLOYMENT CEREMONY
The Soldiers will participate in a brief ceremony before being released to family members. The
ceremony normally takes place in Magrath Gym. Traditionally, the ceremony will take place
approximately 4 hours after the flight lands at Wheeler Sack Army Airfield. For this reason, theceremony may be at any time of the day or night. The 4 hours allow the Soldiers to take care of
required procedures after landing.
Ceremony times are subject to change. It is important that, if you are in the Fort Drum area,
you provide the Rear Detachment or FRG current contact information. Changes may take place
with little notice. Flights have come in earlier than expected in the past so ceremonies were
moved to an earlier time and vice versa.
During the time preceding the ceremony, photos or video of the flight and / or Soldiers may be
shown in the gym. The ceremony is very short and is open to all family members. Seating isalways limited so if you would like a seat it is better to arrive early.
The usual agenda for the ceremony is as follows:
Soldiers enter the gym to music provided by the 10th
Mtn Band (cheers are welcome and
encouraged )

The Commander of Troops will present the Soldiers to the Commanding General (or his
representative)
The National Anthem is played
The Commanding General / Representative will provide welcome home remarks /congratulations on a job well done.
The 10th
Mountain Division and Army Songs are sung (words are below, please sing
along to the tune of Caissons Go Rolling Along)
10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION SONGCLIMB TO GLORY
We are the 10th Mountain Infantry
With a glorious history
On our own two feet, all our foes well defeat

In the heat or cold of snow
We are proud to be in the Army of the Free
Climb to Glory, Mountain Infantry
Climb to Glory, the Light Infantry
THE ARMY SONG(Sung to the tune of the original Field Artillery Song)
First to fight for the right,
and to build the nations might,
And THE ARMY GOES ROLLING ALONG.
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battles won,
And THE ARMY GOES ROLLING ALONG.
Then its Hi ! Hi ! Hey!
The Armys on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong!
For whereer we go,
You will always know that
THE ARMY GOES ROLLING ALONG.

Conclusion of the ceremony is announced.
Family Members rush to embrace their Soldiers
News media may request interviews. You may refuse to give an interview if you do not
wish to.
Soldiers will travel to the baggage pick up point as identified by the Rear Detachment.
Families are welcome drive them to the pick up point.
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
Soldiers will have a tentative window for their return some time before their flight. However,
this is a TENTATIVE date. Soldiers may be bumped from a flight under emergency situations.
Approximately 24 hours prior to return, the Rear Detachment should receive a manifest of
individuals who were on the flight as it took off. However, final manifest may be received as
little as 6 hours prior to the Soldiers arrival. As soon as this manifest is received, the
information will be passed on to family members through the FRG channels / Rear Detachment
channels with an estimated time for the welcome home ceremony. Soldiers do not fly directly
to Fort Drum from Afghanistan; therefore, delays are expected as flights may be grounded due
to weather or other issues.
Please ensure the Rear Detachment Personnel and FRG Leadership has current phone numbers
for you. Any and all phone numbers are welcome. If you are traveling to the area, pleaseprovide hotel accommodation information. With this information, we can request a message
be left for you at the desk if all other numbers fail.

WEATHER
For purposes of preparation, please be aware that the cold weather can begin in the Fort Drum
area as early as October. In 2008, we had our first snowstorm in late October. Temperatures
may drop to the high 30s / low 40s in October and remain there through December. By
January, temperatures normally drop to the 20s and teens. Layers are best for clothing and
warmth. Also, frequent checks of weather is a must. Storms can come in suddenly and
snowfalls may vary due to the lakes that surround us. For those who will need to travel up from
Syracuse, the Tug Hill Plateau falls between Fort Drum and Syracuse on I-81. This area
(between Exits 29-39) may experience heavier snowfalls then both Syracuse and Fort Drum.
Road conditions will be posted at the gates as you enter the installation. They are color coded.
The definitions follow.
Green: Normal driving conditions. Roads are clear and dry. No special equipment is required. Normal dispatch
procedures apply.
Amber: Cautionary driving conditions. Roads are wet, have snow, or icy areas. Normal dispatch procedures apply;
ensure drivers take precautionary measures to help avoid accidents.
Red: Hazardous driving conditions. Roads are covered with ice or hard packed snow. Heavy precipitation and/or
high winds are limiting visibility. No unnecessary travel. Tire chains are recommended for all series of vehicles if
the vehicle is authorized tire chains per the appropriate vehicle operator's manual. Dispatches must be authorized
and signed by the commander/director.
Black: Extremely dangerous, life threatening conditions. Roads are covered with hard packed snow or ice and
possibly unplowed. Heavy snowfall and/or high winds causing zero visibility are occurring or expected. All vehicle
traffic operations are suspended except for police, fire, medical DPW snow removal and service vehicles and other
operations in support of national defense. Tire chains must be mounted on tactical military vehicles if the vehicles
are authorized tire chains per the appropriate vehicle operator's manual
In an emergency anytime, call Police/Emergency Services:
