WASHINGTON About 3,600 members of the

2nd Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division will deploy

to Iraq from the Republic of Korea, Defense

Department officials confirmed Monday.

The troops will begin deploying to Iraq in mid-summer, a senior official said speaking onbackground.

The decision can be made with impunity, because

of the beefed-up capabilities the United States has

on the Korean peninsula, the official said. More

capable air assets, a Patriot 3 brigade, rotating

Stryker battalions, and far better command, control,computers, communications and intelligence

facilities more than make up for the drop of U.S.

troops in South Korea to 34,000, the official added.

Ongoing global posture review is strengthening

our position in Asia and Korea, said Richard

Lawless, deputy defense undersecretary for Asia-

Pacific policy. This strengthened global andregional posture, including our efforts under wayin Korea to realign U.S. forces and enhance our

capabilities, allows us to employ our forces

worldwide in a more flexible manner.

Lawless said that if needed, the United States can

quickly augment air and naval presence in the Asia-

Pacific region.Officials said Korean and Japanese leaders were

informed of and agreed with the U.S. decision. They

said it is part of the overall look at U.S. global

posture.

The troops will spend one year in Iraq. Since

military tours of Korea are typically one-year

unaccompanied tours, some Soldiers will spend up

to two years separated from their families. Officialssaid the majority will spend between 12 and 18

months away from home. No decision has been

made on whether the brigade will return to Korea

following its tour of duty in Iraq.

A senior military official said the troops are fully

combat ready, and that this will allow the stress tobe balanced throughout the force. He said DoDalso is looking at changing the tour length of Marine

forces assigned to Iraq. Currently, Marines spend

seven months in Iraq and seven months home.

Officials said that North Korea should not look

at the deployment as an invitation to invade the

South. Due to our strengthened posture and theability to quickly reinforce capabilities throughout

the region, we can deploy forces from Korea without

assuming additional operational risks, Lawless said.

It would be a misperception on the part of the

North Koreans, let me put it that way, said the senior military

official.

Co mme n t a r y

Drunk driving in Korea is the most prevalent

a l c o h o l - r e l a t e d c r i m i n a l o f f e n s e c u r r e n t l y

r e p o r t e d . S o f a r t h i s f i s c a l y e a r w e h a v e 4 0

incidents of driving under the influence of alchol.This is extremely frustrating as I see many good

Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines losing their

careers and at the same t ime jeopardizing their

fami l ies l ive l ihood . Wi th tha t in mind I fee l

compelled to write the following.

What is DUI in Korea?Well, first I want to t ell you what it is not. DUI

is not a feel ing. If you feel competent to drive and

whether o r no t you are

competent to drive is not

an issue. The problem is

h o w m u c h a l c o h o l y o u

have in your blood.In Korea .05 percent

alcohol per mil l i l i ter of

b l o o d i s d ru n k d r i v i n g . O n es a bi l it y t o dr i ve

with this much alcohol on board will vary with

tolerance but th is is of no s ignificance. If the

alcohol is there in the amount of .05 or a bove you

are busted.One way of estimating the amount of alcohol

you may have on board i s to know th i s l i t t l e

equation: A drink is 12 fluid ounces of beer, not

malt liquor; a drink is 5 fluid ounces of wine, not

MD 20-20 and a drink is 1 and a half fluid ounces

of 80 proof liquor, not 151 rum. So we are talking

about standard beverages here.Any of these three drinks consumed within one

hour will give the a verage 160-pound male a blood

alcohol content level of about .025. Therefore, you

can guess that two or more in an hour will have

you driving drunk in Korea.

This number may vary as size, ge nder and if or

what youve been eating recently will influencethis test.

Women should know that due to the lack of

certain enzymes in their stomachs and the fact that

they are made up of 10 percent less water by volume

than an equal size male they may have a blood

alcohol content level one third higher than a man.Bottom line: in order to be certain you are not

over the limit you should not have more than one

before driving.

Im not suggesting that

you shou ld never have

more than one drink, but

b e f o r e d r i v i n g . y e s .Just one since more than

one may put you over and

i t a l so beg ins to c loud your dec i s ion mak ing

process so you begin to operate on feeling, not

fact. Do it for all who love you and for all you

love. Just one in total for the road.

Oh , a l so you shou ld never fo rge t tha t i t i salways OK not to drink at all in any setting.

Richard A. Boyce

Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator

! An investigation revealed that a U.S. servicememberwas observed in a Korean bar during the hours of curfew.The troop was approached by Korean National Police andasked for identification. At that time, the servicemembersaid he was not a Soldier and refused to produce hisidentification card. The KNP asked him a second time toproduce ID at which time the troop proceeded to push theKNP. U.S. mili tary police then arrived and physicall yrestrained the individual and placed him in hand irons. Thetroop was then transported to a U.S. installation hospital,complaining of neck and back injuries. While in the hospital,he then began yelling at the escorting MPs, stating thatthey were all Iraqi communists. His behavior then becameso belligerent that the medics gave him a shot to calmhim down. The troop was not advised of his legal rights

due to his suspected level of intoxication and condition.He was later further processed and released to his unit.

! An investigation revealed that a U.S. servicemember,for reasons unknown, struck a glass window of a localhouse located behind a Korean bar with his right hand,causing the window to break and cutting his right forearm.Upon arrival of mi litary police, a strong odor of an alcoholwas detected. Further investigation disclosed that theservicemember was underage. The troop was thentransported by ground ambulance to the installationTroop Medical Clinic, where he was treated for his injuriesand administered a command-directed legal breathalcohol test, with results pending. Investigation continuesby Military Police Investigations.

175th Finance Command

The 175th Finance Command officials say they are

committed to providing world-class finance support

throughout the Republic of Korea.

This support is provided to all servicemembers and

civilians assigned to or on temporary duty to Korea. In aneffort to provide the best possible customer service, units

within the 175th Finance Command take finance to the

Soldier.

Programs in effect include: assignment of a finance

noncommissioned officer to every unit serviced; 24-hour

commanders hotline, 725-CASH; a Web site with on line

pay inquiry; total accessibility by opening its doors andservicing all who enter; an automated in-processing and

centralized temporary duty travel processing for the entire

peninsula.

Entitlements that servicemembers are currently receiving

will continue to be paid in the event of military hostilities and

noncombatant evacuation operations.

Upon NEO, servicemembers are entitled to basic allowancefor housing for dependents evacuated to a safe haven. BAH

is then authorized for the location of the family member at

the final designated location since family members are forced to

relocate. All pay will continue to be electronically deposited to

designated direct deposit accounts.

Servicemembers may be paid additional entitlements as the

situation dictates. Once an area has been designated as a hostile fire

pay, imminent danger pay, or hardship duty pay area by an executive

order, servicemembers can expect to see additional entitlements.Once an executive order is issued, the area would be designated for

Combat Zone Tax Exclusion.

Servicemembers performing active service in an area designated

to be CZTE will receive a tax benefit. CZTE is a monthly benefit that

is authorized for the full month regardless of the number of days

assigned within the month.

All enlisted Soldiers and warrant officers would be exempt fromfederal income tax on basic pay, jump pay, hardship duty pay, and

hostile fire pay.

Commissioned Officers would be exempt from federal income

tax on amounts up to the basic pay of the most senior enlisted Soldier,

plus the amount of hostile fire pay for any qualifying month. Most

junior officers would receive the full amount of tax exclusion.

WASHINGTON Soldiers and

Department of the Army civilians can now

go online to offer Army suggestions and

possibly win some cash.

The Army Suggestion Program, https://

armysuggestions.army.mil, went online

Monday. Logging on requires an Army

Knowledge Online user name and password.While there are several advantages to an

Army central online program, the biggest

plus is anyone with access to the Web can

make a suggestion in a timely manner

no matter where they are, said Brenda Scott,

a Suggestion Program official with the

Office of the Chief of Staff Strategic

Management and Innovations Division.

In the past, deployed Soldiers who came

up with good ideas when away from home

station would often wait to submit that idea

through channels until they returned home,

Scott said. The reasons for the wait, she

said, were several: getting a copy of ArmyRegulation 5-17 that outlines submission

requirements, keeping the hardcopy

submission form clean in the field while filling

it out and lack of research resources.We have more than 100,000 Soldiers

deployed overseas right now and

thousands more DA civilians with them,Scott said. Any one of them with a

suggestion can now go online and submit

their ideas without fear of getting the

paperwork dirty, and there are links on

the page that give lots of research material.

The site also has a link to AR 5-17.

There is even a save function that allows

suggestors to fill out the submission packet

over a period of time rather than during just

one session.

The program seeks suggestions thatimprove work methods, materials,

processes, equipment, logistics,

utilities or tools that will benefit the

Army. Implemented suggestions thatsave the Army money are often eligible

for a cash award. The more money

saved, the larger the potential award.The suggestion must present a

problem or situation, propose a

solution and state the benefit to the

government.

CAMP CASEY For the first time

on the peninsula, the U.S. Armyoffered a special environmental course

to Soldiers. Twenty-four Soldiers

completed a week-long class to return

to their units May 7 qualified as

environmental compliance officers.

Environmental issues are

increasingly affecting our host nationpartnership, said Capt. Josef Hatch,

Headquarters and Headquarters

Battery, 1st Battalion, 15th Field

Artillery Regiment. This class enables

us to deal with these issues now

instead of later.The training came at a time of

increased emphasis on environmental

issues, officials said.

Some of the lessons coming out

of Iraq and Afghanistan show the need

for an emphasis on environmental

concerns, said Michael Walker, aninstructor with the U.S. Army Engineer

School, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The

level of environmental consideration

decreases during a deployed settingversus the garrison setting.

The job of environmental

compliance officer is normally an

additional duty assigned to anoncommissioned officer or junior

commissioned officer to educate units

on environmental considerations. The

Soldiers serve as a liaison between unit

commanders and the garrison

environmental staff. They perform

environmental self-assessments andconduct risk assessments.

I see this as a lot more than an

additional duty, said Sgt. Donald

Whitecotton, Headquarters andHeadquarters Service Battery, 6th

Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment.

Youre looking at a full-time job to get

this program started in your unit.

Doing a r isk assessment issomething Ive done, but not with

the environment in mind, Hatch

said. It gave me something to think

about as a future commander.

As this was the first time the course

was offered in Korea, Walker camefrom the U.S. Army Engineer School

to assist and validate the 2nd Infantry

Division G-3 Schools Branch. He said

he believed it was also the first time anoncommissioned officer had taught

the course.

Staff Sgt. Marvin Wideman, the

course instructor, said he was

confident the course would receive

validation.

Im very happy with the way thiswent, Wideman said. The grades in

the class show the Soldiers paid

attention.

Wideman said five Soldiersreceived 100 percent on the final

examination.

We created this course from

scratch, said Staff Sgt. Jack West,

G-3 Schools. Its part of the proactiveapproach to environmental issues the 2nd

Infantry Division and Area I are taking.

Artillery Regiment took a culturalawareness field trip to the Korean

Folk Village and COEX Mall May

7.

Lt. Col. Dawson, the battalion

commander, came up with the

idea, said Maj. Christopher

Cardoni, 6th Bn., 37th FARbattalion executive officer. We

came off of a very tough training

schedule, so the commander

wanted to reward the battalion for

a great job.

Getting 495 Soldiers around

Seoul was not an easy feat - thebattalion had to find funding to pay

for 11buses and the entrance fee tothe Folk Village in Suwon.

The chaplain did all the work,

Cardoni said. He found the

organizations that donated moneyand coordinated with the USO.

Area I Public Affairs Office

CAMP RED CLOUD An Area I

employee recently stood before a crowd

of civilians and Soldiers while a U.S.

Army general awarded him a 50-yeargovernment service award.

Fifty years of combined service in

the U.S. Army and civil service is a goal

few reach.

I know thats more years than

youve been alive, Brig. Gen. John A.

Macdonald, director of the InstallationManagement Agency Korea Region

Office, told the Soldiers, and Im

happy to say thats more years than Ive

been alive.Macdonald described James

Campbells service as phenomenal.

However, Campbell, the Area Ieducation services officer, actually has

more than 52-years of government

service.

I thought these awards were

automatic, Campbell said. But since I

had not received it, I finally went to

CPAC and asked about it.In 1948, Campbell saw his future in

either a coal mine or a sawmill. In his

hometown of Dixiana, Ala., thats what

young men tended to do, he said.

Campbell said he felt he had a different

calling; he tried to enlist in the U.S. Army

when he was old enough.

This was right after World War II,

Campbell said. The Army was beingvery selective, because they didnt need

very many Soldiers at that time.

Consequently, Campbell was

informed that he had a previously

unknown condition of one leg being

longer than the other, so he failed themilitary physical examination.

But, in 1951 the leg must have

grown, Campbell said.

Because they drafted me

into the Army and sent meto Korea.

For about a year, during

the Korean War, Campbell

was an ammunition handler

in the Busan area.

I didnt get to see much

of the peninsula during that

assignment, Campbellsaid.

After a tour of duty in

Germany, Campbell decided

to separate from the Army

and see how life was back

in his hometown.

The Army had aprogram then, where if you

went to see a recruiter

within 90 days of your

separation, they would take

you back, Campbell

explained.

You did not have to retake basic, youretained the rank you had and also got

paid for the days you were away, he

said. So, I waited until I was out of the

Army about 80 days, and went to see a

recruiter.

He said a buddy of his talked him into

taking a sociology class. Campbellenjoyed the class and became enamored

with the goal of getting his degree.

After attending Tuskegee University,

Ala., through the Armys bootstrap

program, Campbell was commissioneda second lieutenant in the ordnancecorps Aug. 9, 1957.

I earned a bachelors degree in

industrial education, Campbell said.

In 1961, Campbell volunteered for

explosive ordnance disposal school. In

1964, he earned his parachutist badge

at Fort Benning, Ga. He said he spentthe remainder of his career in EOD and

special weapons assignments.

Campbell said he had always wanted

to become a pilot. However, he was not

accepted into flight school. In 1968, he

achieved his personal goal when he

earned his private pilots license whilestationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

Campbell served in Vietnam for just

over a year. He also returned to serve in

Germany and South Korea. He had

assignments at various locations in the

United States.

Throughout his military career,Campbell continued to seek out

educational opportunities. He attended

Troy State University, Alaska

Methodist University and the

University of Alaska. Finally, in 1971,

he earned a masters degree in education

counseling from the University of

Campbell

CAMP CASEY The Area I Army Community

Service sponsored briefings about the Army OneSource Web site May 11 at the Camp Casey USO.

Army One Source is a 24-hour, seven days a week,

toll-free information and referral telephone and Internet

service available to active duty, National Guard and

reserve Soldiers, deployed civilians and their familiesworldwide, according to the Web site,

www.armyonesource.com. It was created to

supplement installation-based services usually offeredby ACS, and to expand ACS capabilities with after-

hours resources. It is not intended to replace services

and programs offered by ACS.

It was originally designed for National Guard and

reserve Soldiers who are deployed, because their

families are not typically located near a military

installation, said Christy Allen, ACS social services

representative. Now, they can just get on-line to theWeb site or call the toll-free telephone number and get

some of the same services as those living on or near

post.

Like the ACS, Army One Source offers assistance

with parenting and childcare, education, relocation,

financial concerns, military life, health and emotionalwell-being, and other everyday issues such as locating

resources within a community. The service can also

help users make appointments through TRICARE, and

even schedule up to six face-to-face counseling

sessions with local providers, at no cost to the user.

Four active-duty Soldiers and more than 50 Army

spouses attended the briefings to learn about theservice.

I was glad to have that many spouses there,

because when Soldiers are deployed, they are the oneswhom it is going to help most, Allen said. It was

ideal, because we had spouses from all over Area I

attend.

We wanted to give the spouses an overview ofwhat the service can provide them, she explained. I

briefed the attendees on what the AOS is about, and

what kind of information they can access. We have

these computers here, so they could actually get on-

line and walk through the Web site. I also talked tothem about the telephone number that they can call,

even here in Korea, 24-hours a day, seven days a

week.

Tina Zettlemoyer was one of the spouses who

attended the briefings. She said she heard about the

event through a friend and decided to go to find out

more information. She was glad she did.

I was very pleased to see so much on one Website, she said. Its great for new Soldiers, newly

married spouses and those of us that have been around

the military for a while. It was very user friendly.

I was a specialist in the Army when I married my

husband, Zettlemoyer added. This information would

have been helpful back then!Zettlemoyer was most excited about the toll-free

telephone number.

Just knowing that I can call a consultant for free

if a problem does arrive is reassuring, she said.

Even spouses whose native language is not English

can use AOS, Allen said, since they offer services in

more than 150 languages.This is definitely an important resource for the

Army, Allen said. Spouses, servicemembers and

Department of Defense families who are not close toan installation can still have access to a lot of

information about deployments, reunion and financial

issues anything that they would usually go to an

ACS for. I definitely encourage people to get on-lineand check it out.

of the classroom to explore a motor pool

for environmental concerns. Walker said

the terrain walk was a valuable addition

to the class.Im going to take the terrain walk

idea back to the school, Walker said.The students could see how to put the

best management practices they learned

in the class into place at their units.

During the after-action review, Hatch

offered suggestions for making thecourse better.

Theres so much information,

Hatch said. The binder is 5-inches thick.This course could really be two weeks.

Hatch also suggested the course be

incorporated into the divisions warrior

leader course.

If you do that, youll get all the

commanders and first sergeants thinking

about our impact on the environment,Hatch said.

I hope these Soldiers will take a

higher level of environmental awareness

back to their units after this training,

Walker said. They are the

commanders eyes and ears for

environmental considerations.


from Page 7L e g a c yL e g a c yL e g a c yL e g a c yL e g a c ythen Maj. Campbell retired from active duty.

I decided to stay in Korea, Campbell

said. I had about a nine-month breakin government service.

Campbell found work as a contractor

teaching general education courses to

2nd Infantry Division Soldiers.

In 1976, Campbell accepted a job as

an education counselor at the Camp

Hovey Education Center. Coincidentally,Macdonald presented Campbell with the

50-year award at the Camp Hovey

Education Center on May 7.

Over his civil service career,

Campbell has left Korea for duty

assignments at Fort Eustis, Va., Camp

Zama, Japan, and Redstone Arsenal, Ala.I always seem to end up back in

Korea, Campbell said, with a smile.

My wife is from Korea.

Campbell said as an education

counselor he has helped many Soldiers

who have gone on to become seniorofficers and noncommissioned officers.

He said he feels a personal sense of

accomplishment when he meets Soldiers

he has helped along the way.While growing up, I made the

assumption an education would not be

of much value to me, Campbell said.

People in my hometown were coal

miners, or sawmill workers. By being

in the Army, and having an opportunity

to meet people who had different ideasabout what they wanted to do in life,

some of their visions rubbed off on me.

Today, Campbell oversees all of the

education centers in Warrior Country.

His office is at Camp Red Cloud, but he

continues to commute daily from his

home in Seoul.Although well past the normal

retirement age, James Campbell

continues to serve.

I really like what I do. To me, this is

not just a job, it is my calling.

Chaplain (Capt.) Roderick Swanson,Headquarters and Headquarters Support,6th Battalion, 37th Field ArtilleryRegiment, was glad to have been ableto help.

The money came from the

chaplaincy, the American WomensThrift Shop Association and theAmerican Forces Spouses Club, he said.Then the Camp Casey USO helpedbring the whole thing together.

The USO was great, Cardoni said.They coordinated the buses for us, andalso negotiated the cost for admissioninto the Folk Village for much less thanif we had to do it ourselves.

After touring the Folk Village, the

Soldiers were driven to the COEX Mall,where they were released for the daywith the option to take the buses backor stay in Seoul.

The purpose of the trip wasthreefold, Cardoni said. Soldiers

wanted to see more battalion-level funevents, we wanted to show SoldiersSeoul and a part of Korea theyve neverseen before, and introduce the Soldiersto Korean culture. Korea has a very richand long history.

Both men agreed that the trip wassuccessful.

It was a huge success, Cardonisaid. It was well-deserved, wellexecuted and much appreciated by all.

Ive had Soldiers come up to me andsay Thank you, chaplain, because theyhad a good time, Swanson said. Seeingthe Soldiers having fun and getting tohang out with them was the best part.

I hope the Soldiers came away

with an appreciation of Koreanculture, and an understanding thatCamp Stanley and the surroundingville is not all there is to Korea,he added, urging Soldiers, Get outand have a good time while yourehere!

GWACHEON Soldiers from the Headquarters andHeadquarters Company, 8th Military Police Brigade

received a warm reception at the Gwacheon Presbyterian

Church after delivering food to Gwacheon residents as

part of the brigades Operation Feed Grandma for

Mothers Day.

The operation was spearheaded by Master Sgt. EdwinCierpial, noncommissioned officer in charge of thebrigades communications section.

The reason we organized this event was to not only

build good community relations with the Gwacheon

community but to give back to our host nation especially

the elderly said Cierpial.

The event was coordinated within the brigade

headquarters to raise contributions and goods for morethan 4,000 needy elderly citizens within the community.

We were able to raise over 1,000 pounds of food for

this event thanks to the support from everyone in the

brigade, he said.

Once the food was collected and packed up they

moved out; upon arriving in Gwacheon Soldiers were

teamed up with members of the community and headedout to personally deliver each nursing home goods.

One of the Soldiers who participated in the event,

Pvt. Albert Perez, spoke about the great nature of the

event.

The event gave me a chance to provide elderly citizens

with some needed items, and it also gave me a chance toexperience some Korean culture.

YONGSAN Volunteers of the

305th Quartermaster Company say they

are always ready to lend a helping hand

to benefit people. They got the chance

to do just that on May 14 at baseballfield 5 near Collier Field House.

Thirty-one Soldiers, along with the

United Services Organization, Morale,

Welfare and Recreation and the Moyer

Community Services Center, donated

time, money and equipment to help

make a special day for 75 Koreanchildren.

The children are orphans being taken

care of by the Salvation Army in Seoul.

This is a chance for us to give

something back to the community,said 1st Lt. Kevin Mercer, petroleum

supply platoon leader, 305thQuartermaster Company. It not only

builds esprit de corps in the company,

but it also builds relations with the local

community.

Some of the equipment provided

included an inflatable boxing ring and

the USOs Canteen, which was broughtin from Camp Casey to accommodate

the event.

We got word they had a Canteen,

so we gave them a call so we could use

it, said Mercer.

The request was a last-minute

adjustment to plans that had been setfor weeks.

The request for the Canteen was lastminute, said Marvin Sanders, USO-

Korea program manager. But this is an

ideal event to come out and support, so

we made it happen.

Park Eun Bin, the director of the

Salvation Army in Seoul, said the eventis good because the children dont

receive many opportunities to get out

and play.

They dont have many chances to

meet foreigners, said Park. This is a

good chance for them to learn.

With music playing from the Canteen,Americans and Koreans played soccer,

baseball and other sports. One of those

305th volunteers spend time with Korean orphans

playing was Spc. Ralphy Warden,

mortuary affairs, 305th Quartermaster

Company.

This is a good event, said Warden.

I was an orphan and the military usedto come down and do this for us and it

made my day.

Those Soldiers inspired Warden to

volunteer for this and other similar events.

I volunteer for everything, said

Warden. Kids need to know that

people love them. Just because theyarent Americans doesnt mean they

arent our future.

Scholarships for military children program makes money grow on trees

By Carrie Williams

FORT LEE, Va. Mom and Dad

were right when they said, Moneydoesnt grow on trees, but thanks to

the Scholarships for Military Children

program, it does for 500 diligent

students. Thats figuratively speaking,

of course. Yes, it is May and the colorgreen is bursting forth everywhere, but

for these students its not just the

garden variety chlorophyll green

found in the back yard. Its more like

Federal Reserve green in the form of

$1,500 to apply toward college tuition

this fall.

Were thrilled to report that the

scholarship program is an enormoussuccess in helping military families

defray the costs of education, said

Defense Commissary Agency Director

Maj. Gen. Michael P. Wiedemer.

19th TSC takes strategic planning to next level19th TSC takes strategic planning to next level19th TSC takes strategic planning to next level19th TSC takes strategic planning to next level19th TSC takes strategic planning to next levelStory by Master Sgt.Kimberly Williams19th Theater Support Command Public Affairs Office

The 19th Theater Support Command

recently conducted its fourth StrategicPlanning Conference, but this time there

was a new twist.

For the first time, the semiannual

conference was not held in the Daegu

enclave. Instead, nearly 75 19th TSC

Soldiers, civilians and family memberstraveled to Gyeongju for the three-day event.

The conference is the consolidation of

the senior leadership and spouses of the

19th TSC with the goal of developing a

common vision for the command, said

Maj. Kate Scanlon, 19th TSC deputyoperations officer, Transformation. To

achieve this, attendees address and develop

executable solutions on key issues affectingthe 19th TSC, its customers, Soldiers,

families, civilians and the surrounding

Korean communities.

Those attending the conference alreadybelong to one of four functional teams, said

Scanlon. The teams include Future

Logistics, Training and Readiness, Well

Being and Community Relations and Good

Neighbor Program.

Year round, these teams meet on a

regular basis to discuss specific goals andprojects related to their functional area. For

example, improving sergeants time training

is a major project being tackled by the

Training and Readiness Team.

Strategic planning is a continuous effort

supervised by key staff members from the

command group, said Scanlon.

At the semiannual conferences, teammembers then have an opportunity to give

an update to Maj. Gen. Jeanette K.

Edmunds on their progress, she said. She

gives us her guidance, and the teams have

an opportunity to meet in an environment

totally outside of work.Edmunds is the 19th TSC commanding

general

Each conference may have a slightly

different focus. For this conference, the

commanding general established four clearly

defined objectives: create a focused effortunimpeded by office proximity, promote

team building, build cultural appreciation and

evaluate implementation of projects andgoals to ensure the 19th TSC is achieving

the desired effect, said Scanlon.

By this definition alone, the conference

was a success, Scalon said.By moving the conference away from

Daegu, group members were able to focus

all of their attention on goals and projects,

not on day-to-day activities in the office,

she said.

There are no office phones ringing, no

meeting conflicts, no e-mail to manage andno distractions, said Scanlon. The

attendees are immersed in the process as

well as the concept.

As far as team building, Scanlon said,

being together from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every

day in the heart of the Korean cultural region

definitely meets the team-building objective.

I thought the conference had a highlysynergistic affect, said Maj. Shatrece

Buchanan, 19th TSC chief of Plans, Policy

and Operations. This was Buchanans third

conference.

Because we went to an off-post site, it

enabled leader bonding, she added.To meet the third objective, four cultural

tours were scheduled during the

conference, said Scanlon. Attendees went

to a Korean folk village, a tomb and

astronomy site, a temple and a national

museum.I think learning more about the Korean

culture has a lot of benefit from the historical

side, said Sgt. Maj. Bardrick McGuire, 19thTSC Support Operations sergeant major.

A lot of things we thought we (western

civilization) brought to the table, had already

been in existence for hundreds of yearshere.

Most importantly, however, the

conference focused group efforts on

evaluating implementation of projects and

goals.

The goal is to implement plans, not to

put ideas on a shelf, said Edmunds. Weare not trying to create shelf paper, but

trying to put ideas into work.

Not only should team members focus

on implementation, but they must also

figure out how to institutionalize projects

that make them part of a self-sustaining

process, she said. Youve worked hard

to make improvements, and you dont wantthat work to disappear when you PCS,

said Edmunds.

Team members institutionalize projects

in various ways, such as creating standard

operating procedures or by adding new

requirements to local regulations. Highlyvisible examples of strategic planning

projects currently being institutionalized

include the 19th TSC safety campaign and

the creation of an exercise evaluation

standard-operating procedure and evaluator

training, Scanlon said.Overall, this conference seems to have

facilitated a new level of achievement, said

Scanlon.The strategic plan is the commanding

generals number one priority, she said.

We have had great success in achieving

goals over the last year and a half underMajor General Edmunds leadership.

Because of the high-level focus

and support, we have been able to

make great strides in improving

quality of life, work and community

for all members of Team 19, Scanlon

said.
