Sergeant major: Intelligence Soldiers learn to adapt
Command Sgt. Maj. Todd Holiday was a sergeant in July 1, 1987, when the Military Intelligence Corps became a reality.
The Corps home was then -- and still is -- the southern Arizona Army post established in 1877. That's where Holiday was stationed as an instructor the day the MI Corps came into being. The changes that enlisted intelligence soldiers have gone through since he enlisted in 1981 are many, and there are more are coming, he said.

The commanding general of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command had an opportunity to share his thoughts on the Army of 2020 with the local chapter of the Association of the United States Army during a professional development forum in Williamsburg, Va., June 21.
Gen. Robert W. Cone opened the 30th annual forum, titled "The Army of 2020," where he spoke with members of the Virginia Peninsula General Douglas MacArthur Chapter of AUSA about U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command 's, or TRADOC's, priorities, challenges and the way ahead for the command and the Army.
"Our first priority in TRADOC will always be the preparation of our Soldiers and our units for ongoing combat operations in Afghanistan," Cone said. "When American Soldiers go into harm's way, they deserve the best training and the best equipment, and that will be job one."
In addition to continuously providing well-trained and well-equipped Soldiers to America's Army, TRADOC also faces the challenge of transitioning from 10 years of war to a peacetime Army.
"At the height of the surge, there were situations where, literally, kids would graduate from basic training, go right into the 3rd (Infantry Division) and deploy," Cone said. "We are returning now, across the board, to a more balanced approach of maintaining a warrior ethos, maintaining the lessons of the last 10 years -- but at the same time, changing the curriculum."
This change in curriculum means the future force will be an Army of preparation with a focus on training and leader development, the general said.
In transitioning to peacetime, Cone said the Army faces two major transitions: human and structural, adding that although TRADOC has always guided the Army through these types of transitions, the command also must think about tomorrow.
"Some would argue that the Army of 2020 is a little close-in for TRADOC to be focused on, and my argument is when you go from 570,000 or 580,000 down to 480,000, you can't cut away pieces of the Army," Cone said. "You have to think about fundamentally redesigning the Army."
But with the challenge of redesigning the future force comes an even greater challenge of maintaining the Army's greatest asset -- its people.
"These people, in the last 10 years -- at the point of the spear -- adapted this Army in a way that many of us senior officers could not see," Cone said. "We had the most experienced tactical force in decades.
But I'll tell you this -- when I talk to them, they're concerned with things like retirement, force structure cuts and what's going to happen."
Cone said the Army must capture the excitement and imagination of this generation of warfighters, and it's incumbent upon Army leadership to develop that vision.
And through initiatives like the Army Profession, leader development, the Army Learning Model and Doctrine 2015 -- Cone said he believes TRADOC is doing exactly that.

Observing aviation training firsthand and interacting with the Soldiers going through flight school were just a few of the reasons Under Secretary of the Army Joseph W. Westphal said he visited Fort Rucker June 25 and 26.
"I think aviation is such a critical element in terms of the development of the force of the future," the secretary said before his departure Tuesday afternoon. "We cannot reduce our support or compromise our ability to deliver that kind of support to our Soldiers around the world."
During the two-day visit, Westphal flew in several different aircraft; experienced simulation training at Warrior Hall in Daleville; observed Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape training; visited the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center; and spent time with Soldiers on post.
He praised the training at Fort Rucker, saying it "has been the stalwart of our efforts in the last 10 years of very significant combat operations in two theaters of war."
Westphal said his visit to Fort Rucker was an important part of understanding the role of Army aviation and how to further investments in the branch as combat operations in Afghanistan come to a close and the Army braces for potential budget cuts.
Maj. Gen. Anthony G. Crutchfield, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker commanding general, called Westphal's trip to the post a "critical visit."
"I think the important thing is it gives him insight into what's happening down here at Fort Rucker and how we conduct aviation training," Crutchfield said, adding that he did not anticipate any cost-cutting measures that would degrade the training conducted on post.
"We are not facing any drastic resource cuts in this branch," he emphasized. "Army aviation is the best-resourced branch in the Army and that's not going to change."
One of the highlights of Westphal's visit to Fort Rucker was a flight in a new Chinook model, a CH-47F.
The secretary said he wanted to learn about the differences between the Fox model and the more standard models the Army has used over the past 10 years.

Photos | 2012 Drill Sergeant of the Year competition
by Stephanie Slater, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command
Six of the U.S. Army's best drill sergeants began vying for the title of 2012 Army Drill Sergeant of the Year this week at Fort Eustis, Va. Four competitors from the active component and two competitors from the reserve component endure physical and mental challenges during the four-day competition, which tests their knowledge of Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and their ability to teach these tasks to new Soldiers. The competition is hosted by Initial Military Training, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. On their first day, the drill sergeants were first assessed on their ability to demonstrate and instruct urban orienteering, clinches in combatives and correct actions to take in response to a role-playing Soldier suspected as suicidal. A second round of assessments included tests on drill and ceremony movements and providing care under fire. Day two, The competitors spent their morning at two ranges, demonstrating disassembly and assembly of M240B and M249 machine guns, and instruction on how to fire an M209 grenade launcher. An afternoon round of urban orienteering tasks included evaluations of how the drill sergeants reacted and resolved situations where Soldiers refused to be trained, as well as grading their ability to communicate effectively while interacting with news media. The day concluded just like it began at a firing range, where the competing drill sergeants underwent M16 rifle qualifications. The active and Reserve Drill Sergeants of the Year will be announced during a ceremony June 29. |

Get your ACT together; IDP makes planning your future easy
by Tatjana Christian, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command

Are you an Army Soldier, officer or Army civilian who has an individual development plan, or IDP, due in the near future?
If so, you may be interested to know about the newly developed step-by-step navigation tool called the Army Career Tracker that can help create an IDP in a few simple steps.
"ACT provides an easy-to-use interface with supporting technology, which assists the user and supervisor with the creation, approval and tracking of the IDP," said Khadijah Sellers, who works with U.S Army Training and Doctrine Command's Institute for Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development on streamlining the IDP process within ACT.
According to Sellers, the IDP provides a cross-functional approach to integrating a Soldier's personal and professional development and is focused through the lens of lifelong learning.
Sgt. 1st Class Kenneth Williams, career management NCO for the Office of the Chief of Transportation at Fort Lee, Va., said it's important for leaders to motivate their Soldiers to use the ACT and develop their IDPs.
"The fact is it's not enough to dream about promotions, schools and desired positions -- you have to plan a course of action to achieve those goals," Williams said. "I try to promote the use of ACT in every professional development briefing that I give. I tell Soldiers that ACT can help them succeed, and their IDP will give them the necessary steps to achieve their goals."
Not only does Williams encourage his Soldiers to use ACT to develop their IDPs, he uses it for his own development as well.

TRADOC Officer experiences life in Australia as a
liaison officer

Do you know how much weight a kangaroo can carry in its pouch? Seven pounds -- or about the weight of a bowling ball. Or how about the fact that the kangaroo and the emu are the only two animals that cannot walk backward. Interestingly enough, both animals originate from the same place: Australia.
Australia is known for its beautiful landscapes, wildlife and perky accent. The opportunity to travel abroad and experience foreign cultures such as Australia may only be a dream for some, but not for Maj. Trent Upton, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command's liaison officer, or LNO, to the Australian Army's Forces Command Headquarters, where he has spent the last eight months at a place called Paddington.
"It's fantastic," said Upton. "My wife and I jumped at the chance to give our children the experience of living in another country. It's something that some may take for granted, but not something that the average American child gets the chance to do."
Upton freely admits that he is enjoying life overseas, but also understands that he has an important mission for TRADOC. As a liaison officer, he works closely with his Australian counterparts to build working relationships that provide the familiarity that comes in handy during joint missions or training.
Currently, that includes initiatives like brigade redesign, force generation cycle refinement and Human Dimension. These topics are not only important to TRADOC's efforts to design the Army of 2020, but also to Australia's modernization missions.
"It's all about establishing and maintaining trust between us," Upton said. "Trust is the underlying strength of any Army, from the buddy team to the strategic level. It's the same with our allies and partners -- we a have to understand each other and be confident in each other's capabilities. Building and maintaining trust is critically fundamental to what we do as members of the Army Profession."

Experts from U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command discussed the Network Integration Evaluations and the Agile Process during the Virginia Peninsula General Douglas MacArthur Chapter of the Association of the United States Army professional development forum in Williamsburg, Va., June 21. NIE's are semiannual evaluations by the Brigade Modernization Command at Fort Bliss, Texas, and are a part of the Agile Process, the Army's new quick-reaction acquisition method to address distinct capability gaps and insert new technologies into the overall network at a lower cost. "We are trying to do things differently to meet the needs of the force, by developing capabilities as quickly as possible," said Steve West, deputy of the Accelerated Capabilities Division of TRADOC's Army Capabilities Integration Center.

TRADOC leaders discuss future fight, way ahead with 21st century training
by Sgt. 1st Class Kelly Jo Bridgwater, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command
A focus on revitalizing home station training and incorporating more challenging leader development are two components set to earmark the Army's way ahead for the fighting force and 21st century training.
During a June 21 professional forum sponsored by the Virginia Peninsula General Douglas MacArthur Chapter of the Association of the United States Army here, speakers from U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, including Gen. Robert W. Cone, TRADOC commanding general, gathered to talk about the Army's future and the strategy behind changes to professional education.
"We are returning now, across the board, to a more balanced approach of maintaining a warrior ethos, maintaining the lessons of the last 10 years -- but at the same time, changing the ," said Cone. "Let's face it, when you are an Army at peacetime you become an Army of preparation, and we are focused on training and leader development, and I think, that is what we (TRADOC) and Forces Command are grappling with these days."
One panel discussion centered on the importance of Soldiers being able to train at their assigned duty station.
"Home stations and unit training strategies are sufficiently resourced to support commanders' responsibilities to train and prepare Soldiers, leaders and units to successfully execute the Army mission in any operational environment they may encounter," said Dan Dillon, TRADOC plans and operations.
What this means for the Reserve component is that any pre-mobilization training will be conducted at a unit's home station, local training area, Regional Collective Training Capability or military installation.
The key is to keep Soldiers close to home; however, this excludes essential training that may only be conducted at combat training centers, TRADOC institutions or deployed locations.
It is critical to find the best way to adapt the learning environment to suit experienced combat veterans and those new leaders coming in to the Army, according to Mike Formica, who is responsible for planning and overseeing the daily training that TRADOC is responsible for,
"Last March, we published the last Army training strategy, but we have recognized that we have this combat-experienced veteran force that is coming back, and is back on home station," Formica said. "We need to make sure we have the type of home station training that will lead us to train for the future operation combat environment."

Wyche congratulated Hodge on his years of service and said he was honored to join the CASCOM and Fort Lee team. He described the mission of sustainment Soldiers as one of the most critical in the Army.
"It is an honor and a privilege for me to stand here with you today," Wyche said, and added that each day he'll be thinking of the Soldiers who are "at the tip of the spear" serving on the front lines around the world. "We will never say no, as long as we have one gallon of gas or one bullet to give.
"CASCOM has never failed to keep a watch out and is engaged in planning for the future," he said. "I am honored to be part of this 'Superbowl' team." CASCOM, as a major subordinate command of TRADOC, trains and educates Soldiers and civilians, develops and integrates capabilities, concepts and doctrine, and executes functional proponency to enable the Army's Sustainment Warfighting Function.

During the past decade of war, U.S. commanders and staff officers have been asked to conduct a rising number of tasks in an ever-increasing environment of complexity, and a group of military experts here Wednesday gathered to discuss how future commanders will need to be taught to succeed in an environment future generations could never have imagined.
As part of the Mission Command Symposium, a professional development forum hosted for the Army by the Association of the United States Army, known as AUSA, experts from the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Mission Command Center of Excellence were joined by leaders from U.S. Cyber Command to discuss some of the new challenges that face leaders on today's battlefield.
The forum, titled "Mission Command Commander and Staff Tasks," was moderated by a former commander of the 101st Airborne (Air Assault), retired Maj. Gen. Jeffrey J. Schloesser, who reinforced the complexities of the modern battlefield, not only concerning enemy combatants, but complexities in communicating with friendly elements as well.
Retired Col. Clint Ancker, director of the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, pointed out that although some skeptics are concerned that the Mission Command philosophy could be used as an excuse to send Soldiers out without adequate resources or training, the opposite is true.
"In fact, Mission Command demands that when you give someone an order, you give resources to go along with that," he said. For the rest of this story, click here.

Brig. Gen. Gordon B. Davis Jr., deputy commanding general of Leader Development & Education at the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center, said, "Implementing the Army Learning Model is the way to educate Army leaders to accomplish mission command."
Davis was the panel chair of the Mission Command Leader Education Panel at the AUSA Mission Command Symposium, June 19.
In reviewing how Army educational institutions can adapt to teach mission command and the techniques they use, the panel focused on three questions: How can education contribute to improving mission command in the Army and the Joint Force? What are the roles of company and field-grade officers in executing Mission Command, and where are those taught? What are the best means of teaching Mission Command skills and techniques?
The institutional side of the Army is integrating Mission Command in a variety of ways, including courses in the Advanced Military Studies Program, that explore mission command through doctrine, military theory and historical case study. Guest speakers share command experiences and define commander expectations. From the Captains Career Course and the Command and General Staff College through the Warrant Officer/NCO Courses and the School for Command Preparation, the curricula include the art and science of Mission Command.

They've pictured themselves there, in Olympic Stadium, walking through the tunnel out into the open air in front of thousands in the stands and millions watching on television. They have trained for that last shot that wins them the gold, reaching a goal they set one day when they realized they had a talent that few have.
For two Soldiers from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, when they walk through that tunnel July 27 in London, it will be affirmation that the sacrifices made and determination to excel were all worth it.
"When I was young, I was amazed at the look people had after winning in the Olympics," said Staff Sgt. Michael McPhail, who will compete in men's prone rifle. "The shock, then the happiness -- the whole emotion they display after they win at the Olympics -- it's very powerful. It's a life decision that this is what I am going to do. It's not just in shooting or track-and-field. If you want to be the best in the world at checkers, you have to work your butt off. It's just the way it is."
McPhail and Staff Sgt. Josh Richmond both come from small towns and grew up shooting guns as a hobby. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they would join the Army, let alone make the Olympics. But here they both are, serving their country every day and training to do so on a different field of battle at the Olympics.

With more than 187,000 Soldiers based in nearly 160 countries, the U.S. Army presence around the globe points to its commitment to strengthening relationships and assisting with building military capacity in partner nations. One such partner is Botswana in sub-Saharan Africa.
For three weeks in June, approximately 100 troops from the U.S. Army Special Forces and the Botswana Defence Force, or BDF, participated in exercise Eastern Piper 2012, part of an annual exercise program U.S. Africa Command, or USAFRICOM, conducts with partner nations throughout Africa.
USAFRICOM is a relatively new combatant command, but U.S. engagement in Africa is nothing new. For decades, American Special Operations Forces have had a presence there, helping to build military capacity.
Supporting USAFRICOM's theater engagement plan, Special Operations Command Africa participated in the bilateral military training exercise to further proficiencies, foster collaboration and improve coordination skills. Long after the exercise is over, the relationships forged will further advance through continued communications and partnerships.
During the final week of the exercise, U.S. Army Secretary John McHugh and U.S. Ambassador to Botswana Michelle D. Gavin visited U.S. and BDF Special Forces personnel participating in the exercise and observed capability demonstrations executed by the BDF.
"They have a reputation, obviously deservedly so, of being a highly capable professional force, and they sure showed that here today," said McHugh. "The hostage initiatives they exercised are very, very difficult to do, and to do them with such skill and precision, it was very, very impressive."
Gavin, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in June 2011, was grateful for the opportunity to observe a joint military training event and was pleased to witness the seamless collaboration between U.S. and BDF forces.

Like an athletic team in the clutch, there's something about the fourth quarter that elevates Saint Thomas Academy from a great academic team to a super one.
Whatever "it" is -- adrenaline, fear of losing or easier questions -- it helped the Minnesota program cruise to the Army title in this weekend's Junior ROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl and wallop the Air Force and Navy for the coveted tri-services crown.
"That's when we're ready to go," Walker Lee, a soon-to-be junior, said.
After nearly 45 minutes of questions covering everything from calculus to physics to current events, Saint Thomas managed a slim five-point lead entering the fourth quarter after picking up the rear and trailing the Air Force by as many as 80 points in the final match. Then came the final flurry of questions.
