With COVID-19 restrictions lifting in states nationwide and on Army installations around the world, Soldiers and their families undoubtedly will be eager to hit the highways and catch up on long delayed leisure travel.

There is risk in being too eager, however. “We understand everyone is ready to get

out of the house and, honestly, leaders feel the same way,” said Command Sgt. Maj. William L. Gardner II, U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center. “The danger will come from impa-tience during what is already the Army’s deadliest time of year for off-duty vehicle mishaps.”

The unprecedented measures leaders at all levels of government and the Army took to limit the spread of the potentially lethal coro-navirus had an unintended side effect: Off-duty PMV-4 fatalities fell 25 percent during �� data show.

“COVID-19 travel and stay-at-home re-�� reducing exposure levels and our overall mishap numbers to date,” said Walt Beck-man, loss prevention program manager at the USACRC. “But we can expect to see those numbers go up, perhaps at an alarming rate, as Soldiers try to make up lost time.”

Compounding the risk is the traditional

permanent change of station move cycle, which typically occurs in summer but has been on hold with the Department of De-fense’s stop-movement order. June through August also are historically the Army’s peak months for PMV fatalities.

“Now is the time to start planning, coun-seling Soldiers, inspecting vehicles and re-

viewing leave and pass plans and policies,” Beckman said. “These measures will better prepare our Soldiers and families for their trips once the pandemic threat is gone.”

There are several key facts leaders should include in their counseling sessions and safety briefs. First are the top causal factors in PMV-4 mishaps: speeding, alcohol and non-use of

seat belts, followed closely by fatigue. “Those are the enduring challenges in off-

duty vehicle mishaps,” Beckman said, adding that improvements in reporting have revealed a visible increase in the number of distracted driving accidents during recent years.

�� !�- �� !�� with cadets through specialist/corporal in-volved in 61 percent of PMV-4 mishaps dur-�� "�#��contrast to motorcycle mishaps, where lead-ers sergeant and above make up the largest share of reported mishaps.

“The disparity in rank between PMV-4 and motorcycle mishaps proves we must practice holistic risk management in everything we do,” Gardner said. “No one is immune to a mishap or the tragic effects of one.”

Lastly is when most off-duty vehicle mis-haps occur: between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday.

“The weekend period is when leaders have the least oversight of their Soldiers,” Beck-man said. “That’s why it’s so important they continuously engage their formations on safe driving.

“It’s really not any different from risk management on duty. Make a plan, reassess as necessary and slow down.”

Leader Staff Reports

The Fort Jackson community is joining a growing chorus across the Army where Sol-diers, civilians and Family members speak about the diversity in the formations.

The voices come from all corners of post; ��$�� the trainee and drill sergeants on the front lines of transforming citizens into Soldiers, and the civilians who keep the whole machine rolling.

“When I look at my team, I see the most di-verse group of individuals and I could not be more proud,” Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr., Fort Jackson commander said.

Every member of the Fort Jackson team has a story to tell and different reasons to be part of the team protecting the American people.

“I joined the Army for my Family to make ��!�� %��!��

Family to join the military,” said Pvt. Mario Huerta from 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry Regi-ment. “Another reason I joined is to make one of my mother’s dream come true, which is to buy her a Range Rover. (I also joined) to better !��! &��!�� and become a role model for my little brother and my kids to look up to.”

Some other reasons echoed across the forma-tions are to be a part of something bigger and to seek self-improvement.

“Joining the Army was a decision I made to better myself and my life,” said Pvt. Alexis Slosser of Company D, 1st Battalion, 13th In-fantry Regiment. “I believe when you learn self-discipline is when you become the best version of yourself. I come from a small town where no one does big things.”

The Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT, will be the force’s test of record Oct. 1, but the Army’s top enlisted Soldier says troops will have more time to train for and pass the six-event test – without fear of it negatively affecting their careers during that time.

Despite hold ups caused by COVID-19, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Mi-�� "� '�� *�� +#� 0�� track. In addition to the new training timeline, he also announced a � ��!�� %%��+#��"�"

8�<�� !��=*�� >�?�� Grinston said. So even though troops don’t have to pass the test this year, they still have to take the ACFT as scheduled.

“When it’s the test of record, you have to put it into the system of record, and that’s the only requirement right now,” Grinston said. This means the Army won’t take administrative actions against Soldiers for potential ACFT failures.

Potential career impacts like separation, derogatory or referred eval-uation reports, and a Soldier’s Order of Merit List standing are all off the table to be negatively impacted due to an ACFT failure.

are lifted, the only Soldiers required to take an APFT ever again will be ��0�� ! ?��!�"

“As for everyone else (with a current passing APFT score) – they should start training for the ACFT,” he added.

As far as the evolution of the ACFT, the biggest change for Soldiers is the option to substitute a two-minute plank, once a Soldier has at-tempted the leg tuck.

The other six events are still locked in; the 3 repetition maximum � *�� 0��0�� &��*!��run, and sprint, drag, carry. The plank is just an interim assessment.

The plank is seen as a transitioning tool for Soldiers jumping from the APFT to the six ACFT events, said Maj. Gen. Lonnie G. Hibbard, the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training commanding gen-eral.

ACFT 2.0: Changes sparked by COVID-19


By C. TODD LOPEZDOD News Service

Thanks to work by the Defense Department’s COVID-19 Joint Acquisition Task Force, U.S. industry is expected to greatly increase the production of N95 masks next year, the task force’s director Stacy Cummings said.

During a House Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday, Cummings told lawmakers that nationally, the U.S. was consuming about 50 million N95 masks each year. During the COVID-19 crisis, demand for masks increased substantially to about 140 million during a 90-day peak-use period.

DOD investments to help domestic industry ramp up production of those masks and other equipment will help ensure that in the future the U.S. will better be able to meet demand for personal protective equipment with domestic production, she said.

Based on the investments made by the department, Cum-mings told the House panel, an increase in production of 450 million masks a year will be attained by October, with a rate of more than 800 million masks per year by January.

“Starting in 2021, we anticipate our total domestic pro-duction to be in excess of a billion per year,” Cummings said.

Ellen Lord, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, told lawmakers that increasing domestic production capabilities has been a focus of the department.

“In order to decrease our dependence on foreign suppli-ers for medical resources, DOD has focused on increasing domestic industrial capacity and capabilities,” she said. “To that end, we executed some $284 million in industrial ex-� ��0��0��&��@ ��"��-constituting domestic production or creating new produc-tion that shifted offshore years ago often requires capital expenditure, capital equipment expenditures, retooling and retraining of the workforce.”

Lord also said DOD has been focused on maintaining the health of the defense industrial base during the COV-ID-19 pandemic. The DIB includes a wide array of busi-nesses that produce weapons, equipment and supplies for the U.S. military.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses that make up the DIB suffered as other U.S. businesses did, Lord said. Should some of those businesses fail as a result of COVID-19-related disruptions, it might result in the department not being able to procure important defense-related supplies, equipment or weapons, she added.

Fort Jackson train-ees tackle various events of the Army’s newest fitness test, the ACFT. The of-ficial date to replace the previous physi-cal fitness test is October 1. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several changes were set in place to help train-ees and Soldiers prepare for and pass the new test.

ACFTContinued from Page 4

Depending on an individual’s physical starting point, switching back to the leg tuck should take “any-where between six to three months,” Hibbard added, but for now, the plank is an alternative.

Planks are a core muscle-burning exercise, completed by individuals who remain static with their elbows planted to the ground directly beneath the shoulders at a 90-degree angle while maintaining a straight posture.

Plank exercises can be conducted almost anywhere, Hibbard said, and do not require equipment to train for. Under the current COVID-19 condi-tions, this could be an ideal transi-tional assessment.

Also, the stationary bike event dropped its initial 15,000-meter stan-dard down to a 12,000-meter stan-

dard. Biking is an Alternate Assess-ment for Soldiers with permanent ��able to complete the two-mile run.

�� 2021 also include scoring standards. All Soldiers are challenged to pass the ACFT at the “Gold Standard,” {�%% ��!��0�� -all minimum total score of 60.

To pass, all troops are required to meet the moderately challenging “gold standard” instead of the more grueling “grey or black” scoring min-imums – typically reserved for harsh-er, more physically demanding career ��"� #�� Soldiers, regardless of age or gender.

Until COVID-19 hit, “we were seeing vast improvements with the ACFT,” Grinston said, adding the changes to the ACFT promotes a bet-�� 0��mirror the physical demands of the Army, while also decreasing injuries and having more effective Soldiers within the ranks.

Senior leaders celebrate Army’s diversity over past 245 yearsNEWS

By SEAN KIMMONSArmy News Service

A cake is a combination of different in-gredients that is placed under intense heat, he said, but later results in a spectacular creation.

“The Army recipe is similar: where people from every corner of the nation come together and in the face of great challenges, achieve the extraordinary,” Army Secretary Ryan D. McCarthy said Friday.

This is even more relevant today, he said. The Army currently has over 178,000 Sol-diers deployed around the world. Soldiers have also surged to hotspot cities to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and Army scien-tists are working around the clock to develop a vaccine, he added.

And, most recently, Soldiers have helped the voices of peaceful demonstrators be safe-ly heard in cities across the nation.

“I am incredibly proud of the bravery of our men and women,” he said, “and the work that is being done here and abroad.”

McCarthy and other senior leaders spoke during the ceremony at the Pentagon, which was part of several traditional birthday events held virtually last week. Fort Jackson held a run and an event that included a cake cutting during a Basic Combat Training graduation.

“Happy 245th Birthday to our Army,” said Fort Jackson commander Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr. “Year after year our Army gets better at transforming our nation’s most precious resource into a warrior class that is the best in the world.”

BirthdayContinued from

While the seats inside the auditorium were empty this year, the spirit of diversity was fully present.

During the ceremony, seven Soldiers of various cultural backgrounds walked onto the stage to recite a vow to serve the nation lon-ger.

“American Soldiers represent the diversity of America,” said Army Chief of Staff Gen. James C. McConville, who administered the

oath of enlistment. “And they represent the very best of America.”

Regardless of someone’s race or ethnicity, the general said the Army must provide posi-tive command climates where everyone is treated equally with dignity and respect.

“We win by doing the right things, the right way,” he said. “We win by building cohesive teams that are highly trained, dis-�� "� �� 0�� 0�� people.”

The Army’s history is full of Soldiers who served beyond the call of duty. One of them was Sgt. William Carney, who fought in the Civil War for the Union Army.

Carney, who was born into slavery and

� ��%�� !��%� �&�@� ��{��recipient, was there for his squad when it counted, said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael A. Grinston.

During the Battle of Fort Wagner in South Carolina in 1863, Carney rushed to catch the �!�� $ �� !� � �� <��color guard was fatally shot.

]�� -ors and despite being shot twice himself, he �� !�� $ �� 0�� move back.

�{�� !� ��0��'�� "��&�� you that are serving the nation now, you put ��%�� 0��! ��"�

The Army birthday, which is June 14, is not only simply about capturing its legacy, McCarthy said, adding there is also earnest hope in the year to come.

“Birthdays are more than just a celebration of the years that have passed, but also a nod to the future. The opportunity for growth and the determination for change,” he said.

One thing, though, that will certainly re-main is the Army’s mission.

“For 245 years, the Army has safeguarded democracy and defended the nation against the threats we faced,” McCarthy said. “That is what we do best. Every time the nation calls, no matter the threat, the Army always responds.”

“It’s the humidity that sneaks up on people here,” said Staff Sgt. Joshua Young, 17th Military Police Detachment and Non-��!!�� Q��-cal Security Division. “We wear gear that’s weights 15-20 pounds all day and it can get hot in there. I have had days that my t-shirt and top are soaking wet. It’s crucial to stay hydrated.

��0�� 0 ��&��-ple and ask them if they are feeling ok,” he added. “I’ve had Soldiers pass out on me and it is not fun. Drinking water, rotating people (on duty), taking breaks as often as possible, and modifying uniforms in higher heat categories are some of the ways we keep people safe.”

Young also said heat mitigation tech-niques taught to Soldiers and trainees on the installation can be used off-duty as well to keep Family members safe as well.

“You can absolutely use heat mitigation in your personal life,” Young said. “It’s all about keeping people safe.”
