By ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Leader

Fort Jackson’s “lead sled dog,” the 120th Adjutant General Battalion became a part of the 193rd Infantry Brigade during a patch ceremony April 28 at Victory Field.

The 120th is responsible for making sure incoming Sol-diers in Training are ready to begin basic training by en-suring Soldiers are vaccinated, have received their initial equipment issue, and have no problems that may preclude them from completing their training.

Col. Milford Beagle, 193rd commander, said during the 5 �� 2��7� �� ven though there are three brigades on post there is “only one lead sled dog on post and you are looking at it.”

“If the 120th doesn’t make magic every single day based on what they do day in and day out our training stops moving,” he added. “Look around this post, drive around this post, ask around this post; our training hasn’t stopped moving. It won’t stop moving.”

The battalion is so critical to the post’s mission it has its own CCIR – Commander’s Critical Information Re-quirements. If an incident happens that is considered a CCIR, commanders �� 2�� even woken up from sleep.

For instance, if a Soldier fails to ship to a basic training ��2��

“You have heard a lot of great things about what the

120th does every day for this post, but we are sure glad to have the 120th as part of the 193rd team,” Beagle added.

He advised the battalion to “get used to the motto, ‘No ground to give’ because on this post you are the lead sled dog and you can’t give an inch. You are our front line.

When you succeed, we succeed.”The transfer of authority for the battalion was com-

pleted after brigade leadership changed the patches of the commanders and senior enlisted leaders in the formations.

During the event, Capt. B. Ann Chellman, the battal-��3 � �� 2�� 3 � �� 5�-ceive, process, motivate and begin the transformation” of trainees prior to basic training.

After completing medical examinations, paperwork and receiving their equipment many of the Soldiers will begin to ship out to their basic training units for the next 10 weeks.

The 120th is comprised of a Fitness Training Company, an airborne orientation course, a Basic Combat Training medical hold unit, and trainee discharge and reception.

The reception battalion had been part of the 171st In-fantry Brigade until the ceremony.

The unit was initially formed March 15, 1945 at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. Fort Jackson’s reception unit in 1967 processed nearly 103,000 Soldiers during the force build up for Vietnam. The reception area on Fort Jackson was named the 120th AG Battalion Reception complex in 1987.

Today the battalion processes more than 60 percent of the Army’s total basic trainees.

The 120th is not the only unit to be transferring to a different command as the Special Troops Battalion is scheduled to move under U.S. Army Garrison – Fort Jackson.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics was on display at C.C. Pinck-ney Elementary School April 25-29 during the school’s third STEMposium.

The outcome of the event was a direct result of the partnering with various agen-cies on Fort Jackson and in the surrounding communities.

Some of the partners who helped C.C.P. with the event included Clemson Universi-ty, Fort Jackson Recycling/Archeology, ro-botics professionals and a local beekeeper.

“STEMposium allowed students, teach-ers, parents and community partners to collaborate and explore in depth, the world of science, technology engineering and math,” said Dr. Kerrie Ammons, a speech pathologist with the school.

The STEMposium “included generat-ing a plan, hands-on inquiry, open-ended exploration, team work, rigorous math and science content and improvement,” said �� 54�2��-plication phase was to display the created

STEM product. STEM projects were eval-uated by Dr. Lemuel Patterson, with the �� 2�� &4@��professionals. “

Ammons said the students were encour-aged to “ask questions, imagine what the product will look like, plan and develop a plan to produce the end product, create the plan, and improve and test the plan.”

Throughout the week, students received hands-on learning taught by the school’s community partners, and even packed the gymnasium with displays showing every-thing from volcanoes to ball moving de-vices.

It is also a way for young girls to take up the mantel of sciences.

“Research has shown that women and young girls are not as interested in science or engineering careers compared to that of their male counterparts,” she said. “In an effort to encourage young girls and wom-en, as well as males at C.C.P. to explore the world of science and engineering, the STEMposium was implemented.”

The intricate work done on a student’s display can be seen in a piece titled, ‘Big Ball Factory.’ Students at C.C. Pinckney Elementary School created scientific displays that showed basic engineering and design skills during the school’s STEMposium April 25-29.

STEMposium encourages open-ended learning

Seminar urges cautionto avoid identity theft

NEWS


South Carolina’s Department of Consumer Affairs and �� 3 ��!��&�"��2��post community to beware of scams aimed at identity theft during a seminar April 26.

Marti Phillips, the state director of the consumer affairs identity theft unit, said ev-eryone must be diligent because the “bad guys are always one step ahead of the good guys.” The SCDCA is the state agency that helps victims of identity theft and fraud.

The SCDCA has saved consumers and businesses roughly $34.5 million over the last ��2 �� :��8=�*��money was a result of SCDCA’s complaint mediation and enforcement programs while the remaining $30 million resulted from the ��3 � ��"�� 2�-ings.

Everyone should protect their personal information because crooks are out there try-ing to get people’s information by a variety of means including posing as fake debt collectors, phishing and smishing campaigns. Smishing is similar to phishing but the attempts to gain personal information is through text mes-sages instead of emails.

Community members must be wary because many times “victims are guilty until proven innocent,” Phillips said. This is because some people have fraudulently claimed to be vic-tims to get out of debts they have incurred.

Phillips recommends identity theft victims contact con-

sumer reporting agencies, contact companies with affected �� 2��4��!�� - ��2��

Victims can report identity theft to ACS on post, the SCD-CA and local law enforcement. Local law enforcement may not be able to catch the thief, but police reports may be needed by some agencies to substantiate identity theft claims, Phillips

said. “You need to have a police report and be

prepared to prosecute,” she added.A good way to check for identity theft is

through monitoring individual credit reports. These reports can show erroneous and even fraudulent information.

The SCDCA can also help by pulling cred-it reports for victims, but not those on Fort Jackson. ACS can pull reports for Soldiers and their Families, said Kimberly Bottema, a �� 2�� !&�

Bottema gave an example of a Soldier who came to Fort Jackson from Korea where he had to pay astronomical fees on a loan he took. It wasn’t until he let her pull up his credit report they were able to make progress

��2A�� @"��1�2��&��Judge Advocate viewed the contract as legal, he was able to 2A��

ACS then passes information to the SCDCA for help. While the number of Fort Jackson community members who had their identity stolen is unknown, South Carolina is cur-rently 30th in the nation for identity thefts.

“There has been a lot I have learned (in basic training) and the discipline and cus-tomes will stay with you even after basic.

“I am a 91E – an Allied Trades Specialist. I picked it because the available opportunities I’ll have if I were ever to get out of the Army.

“I joined the Army to better my-self, and make my Family proud.”

“The discipline taught and the things I have learned are the best parts of Basic Combat Training.

“I am a 25U – Signal Support Systems Specialist. I picked this military occupational specialty because I could apply my education at Advanced Individual Train-ing and use it in the civilian world.

“My Family is very proud of me.“I look forward to my military career.”

“I wanted better for myself and for our country, so I decided to make a change and a pledge that will change my life forever.

“Change, the people (battles), and the experience going from be-ing able to move as I please to not having much freedom is a true test. This test will make me a better person.

One of Fort Jackson’s oldest land-marks fell Monday morning.

The building that served as the post’s headquarters since 1941 is being demolished this week to make room for a park and amphitheater. Despite its unofficial sta-tus as a local landmark, the Directorate of Public Works ultimately decided the building had suffered too many modifications over the years to qualify as a legitimately “historic” building.

Many of those modifications were laid bare Monday morning as a bulldozer slowly toppled the structure. Buried in the walls of the 1941 building was a patch-work of technological modifications installed the last 75 years. The fiberglass, aluminum ducts, steel supports and several tons of wood that spilled to the ground in the wake of the bulldozer told the story of a building that had been mended a few times too many. It was no longer a relic of the past, nor suitable for modern use.

The former headquarters building was the product of one of the largest construction efforts undertaken in the Southeast. More than $18 million was spent on con-struction projects at “Camp Jackson” in the summer of 1940, efforts that resulted in the creation of 3,000 build-ings, 400 homes for non-commissioned officers,100 miles of hard-surfaced roads and the post headquar-ters building the following year.

Last December, command and garrison staff va-cated the property, consolidating their offices in the 41,700-square-foot building on Jackson Boulevard that once housed the NCO Academy. For more photos, see Page 18.

Soldiers engage with latest tactical communications equipmentBy ARMY NEWS SERVICE

Soldiers are getting a hands-on look at the latest enhancements to Army tac-tical communications equipment during the two-week long Network Integration Evaluation 16.2, which kicked off May 2.

With 2,000 Soldiers from the 2nd Bri-gade Combat Team, 1st Armored Divi-sion performing combined arms maneu-ver missions spread out over more than 1,000 miles at Fort Bliss, Texas, the exer-cise builds on previous NIEs as it evalu-ates and improves the tactical network.

Utilizing Soldier feedback, the NIEs are designed to help the Army keep pace with rapid advances in communications technologies and deliver integrated net-work and mission command capabilities, a top Army modernization priority for readiness.

“NIE is really a team-of-teams effort between 1st Armored Division, Opera-tional Test Command and the acquisition community,” said Brig. Gen. Terrence McKenrick, the commanding general of the Brigade Modernization Command (BMC), which helps execute the NIEs on behalf of the Training and Doctrine Com-mand.

Since it was established in 2011, the NIE construct has continuously enhanced the Army’s expeditionary mission com-�� 2�� brigade combat teams by incorporating Soldier feedback into system design, per-formance, functionality and training. NIE 16.2, the eleventh such event, will support two Army program of record tests, as well as informal evaluations of several emerg-ing network enhancement capabilities.

“We have repeatedly seen the value of hands-on Soldier feedback from NIE to help the Army make better decisions in our modernization efforts, while sim-plifying and cyber-hardening the system of systems network,” said Douglas K. Wiltsie, executive director of the Army’s System of Systems Engineering and Inte-gration Directorate, which helps oversee and execute the NIE process for the ac-quisition community.

NIE 16.2, which runs through May 14, focuses on evaluating network operations (NetOps) tools that Soldiers use to man-age the network, assessing the Army’s next generation of mission command ap-plications, and informing the radio basis of issue for the mid-tier of the Army’s tactical network.
