Ethos sets Soldiers apartCommentary by Spc. Justin Kelly
Warrior Leader Course graduate
Throughout the course of human history there havebeen many great nations and many great armies.
The greatest of these have always been those whoseranks were filled with disciplined Soldiers who live by a code of values, such as the members of the RomanLegion, who believed in fighting as one cohesive unit. They believed strongly in honor and duty to the state. A great army such as that under Alexander the Great defeated armies three times their size. This was accomplished through fighting as a team. His army hadabsolute faith in their ranks’ ability to watch one another’sbacks. However, never in the course of human history hasthere been a group of Soldiers as dedicated, loyal and competent as the members of the United States Army.
The U.S. Army has accomplished this through excellent training and instilling the values inherent in the Warrior Ethos deep into our minds.
I will always place the mission first. This sets theArmy’s standard for laying aside personal prejudice, fearsand problems. We learn this line; we live by this, to remindus of our duty to the United States Army, to remind us that our job is to put the goals of the Army above our own.The Army can only accomplish its tasks through the use of its Soldiers. If we don’t place the needs of the Armyabove our own, the Army will surely fail.
The U.S. Army is an army of optimists. This has beenproven time and time again through valiant actions againstour enemies, such as the Battle of The Bulge, which held off the surrounding German army until help arrived.They did this even though they were low on supplies.
U.S. Soldiers accomplish feats such as these by firmbelief in the second line of the Warrior Ethos, I will never accept defeat.
At the height of the Vietnam War, members of the 101stInfantry Division were tasked with assaulting Hill 973 in the
jungle-shrouded mountainsof South Vietnam. This hilltop was heavily mannedand had very limiting terrainfeatures. The U.S. Armytook these obstacles on one-by-one, never quittingin their vigorous assault upthe hill. The battle was oneof close combat, with bothsides exchanging fire within20 meters of each other.After 10 days, their beliefsin the Warrior Ethos “I willnever quit” had prevailedand the hill was taken.
In my opinion, the mostimportant Warrior Ethos is “I will never leave a fallen comrade.” A great example of this took place in the battle of Mogadishu Oct. 3, 1993. A Black Hawk helicopter wasshot down during the battle, leaving many Soldiers strandedbehind enemy lines. Two snipers requested to hold off theenemy forces until reinforcements could arrive. Master Sgt.Gary Gordon and Sgt. 1st Class Randy Shugart did this,knowing that help may not arrive in time to save them ortheir fallen comrades. They were both killed in the defenseof the survivor of one of the helicopter crashes and wereposthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. They displayedone of the finest qualities a Soldier can by confirming theirbelief in the ethos to never leave a fallen comrade.
The Warrior Ethos is but a small part of Army values,training and beliefs. I personally feel that the Warrior Ethos is one of the most important Army doctrines. That is a part of the U.S. Soldier’s soul, and what it is that sets us apartfrom the other Soldiers around the world. I know that mysense of duty and honor bind me to this ethos. I know that this makes me want to do the best I can for my countrymen,my fellow Soldiers and for the United States of America.

Vice chief retires after 40 yearsBy Master Sgt. Douglas Sample
Army News Service
WASHINGTON – The thunderous sound of thegun volley that echoed across Washington, Jan. 31,marked the end to an acclaimed and storied militarycareer for Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli.
Chiarelli served for the pastthree years as the Army’s vice chiefof staff. At the end of his career, hewas applauded for his contributionsto Soldiers, their Families, and theArmy institution.
The ceremony was hosted byChief of Staff of the Army Gen.Raymond T. Odierno, and attended bylawmakers, Department of Defenseofficials, and senior military officers.
Secretary of Defense LeonPanetta used the Italian phrase“buon uomo,” meaning “good man,”to describe Chiarelli, a man heincludes among his friends. He saidit is the strength and fortitude ofmen like Chiarelli that make theArmy the greatest in the world.
Panetta said former Secretary ofDefense Robert Gates saw in Chiarellia depth of knowledge, skill andpassion for Soldiers and their Familiesthat led the former secretary to choosethe general to serve as his “right handman” and senior military assistant.
In that role, Chiarelli would inform Gates on afull range of pressing security matters. He would alsoadvise the secretary on how his decisions wouldimpact servicemembers on the battlefield.
“If there is one thing that has been the hallmarkof Pete’s career, it is the depth of his concern for thewelfare of every Soldier,” Panetta said. “It’s that
quality that made him the perfect choice to be thevice chief of staff of the Army.”
Panetta said the secretary knew that, “as long asthere were Soldiers in harm’s way, as long as there wasa single Army Family in need, Pete would not rest. Andfor more than three years, Pete has not rested. Pete, youhave earned a time of peace, a time for Family,” he said.
Odierno thanked the ChiarelliFamily for its support — includingboth his children and wife, BethChiarelli, who stood by him duringa 40-year military career andthrough 25 permanent change-of-station moves.
Chiarelli spoke briefly abouthis career from Fort Knox to hisarrival here in Washington. Hespoke passionately of Soldiers andthe contributions they have madeto the country.
“They are not just steely-eyedkillers,” Chiarelli said.
“Over the past decade they havemade a tremendous difference inthe lives of people living andworking in both theaters,” he said.“I am incredibly and profoundlyproud of all they have accomplished.”
Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III has beenchosen as Chiarelli’s replacement forvice chief of staff. Austin becomesthe first African-American to servein that role.

state-of-the-art digital classrooms, saidSean Bolduc, director of the MCTC.
Bolduc said digital training isalready taking place on Fort Carson,but is spread out in buildings throughoutthe post.
“This campus will consolidateresources and make things moreefficient,” he said.
Matthew Ellis, a representativefrom the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers (Omaha, Neb.), said the83,000-square-foot building will bebuilt to meet the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil’s Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design Gold standardsand will include a 20,000-square-footsolar array field that will providepower to the campus. In addition to themain building, construction for 16smaller buildings is also planned.
“This is the third training center (ofits kind) constructed in the Army,” saidEllis, addressing the crowd. “It takesmany years and a diverse team to makethis happen.”
With construction continuing untilJune 2013 and a projected occupancydate of December 2013, troops willcontinue to train at existing facilities.
Once complete, troops from the4th Infantry Division, other FortCarson units as well as National Guardand Reserve components in Colorado,Kansas, Wyoming, Montana, Utah,Nebraska and New Mexico, willparticipate in training at the center.

Approximately 400 Soldiers deployed to supportaviation operations in southern Afghanistan, markingthe aviation unit’s first deployment from Fort Carsonsince it relocated to the Mountain Post from CampEagle, Korea, three years ago.
The “Attack Battalion,” part of 25th CombatAviation Brigade, Fort Shafter, Hawaii,will rely on its seasoned veterans tolead first-time deployment Soldiersinto combat, said Master Sgt. JimWilliams, senior aviation operationssergeant, 1st Bn., 2nd Avn. Reg.
“We have a lot of aviators andsenior noncommissioned officersthat have deployed before, that arethrowing a lot of experience into thedeployment,” said Williams.
The brigade prepared for its firstdeployment since arriving at theMountain Post by conducting multiplefield training exercises and a culmi-nating training event — a month-longexercise testing the equipment the unittook on the deployment.
The battalion conducted HighAltitude Mountain Environment

Once in theater, the battalion operations center willguide and consistently update more than 30 aircraftflying over Afghanistan at any time, said Maj. NicholasDall, operations officer, 1st Bn., 2nd Avn. Reg.

The battalion deployed avariety of aviation support-trainedprofessionals, including repairmen,armament specialists and air trafficcontrollers.

Soldiers of Division Special TroopsBattalion, 4th Infantry Division, gatheredas their battalion commander, Lt. Col.Matthew Tedesco, and seniorenlisted leader, Command Sgt.Major Keith Moore, cased thebattalion’s colors one final timeduring a deactivation ceremony atFort Carson, Jan. 23.
The next day, the same “FitFor Any Test” Soldiers, nowmembers of the new Head quartersand Headquarters Battalion, 4thInf. Div., mustered to bid Tedescofarewell, and welcome the newbattalion commander, Lt. Col.Brad Wambeke, during a changeof command ceremony at WallerPhysical Fitness Center.
During the change of command ceremony, Col. BruceAntonia, chief of staff, 4th Inf. Div.,thanked Tedesco for his 35 monthsof leadership during a period ofgreat transition for the DSTB.
Shortly after Tedesco tookcommand in early 2009, he casedthe DSTB colors at Fort Hood,Texas, and then unfurled them at
Fort Carson. After settling into their newhome, the DSTB Soldiers prepared fordeployment. Following months oftraining, Tedesco led the battalionduring a yearlong deployment to Iraq insupport of Operation New Dawn.
“It’s no secret the demands andchallenges associated with commanding
a DSTB, but Matt certainly was theright leader for the job,” said Antonia.“He did an extraordinary job; taking adiverse selection of individuals andtransforming them into a highly func-tioning, cohesive and competent team.”
Tedesco credited his success as abattalion commander to the officers,
noncommissioned officers andSoldiers who accomplished the unit’smission every day.
“It is hard to believe that nearlythree years have passed since takingcommand,” Tedesco said. “I am veryproud of the accomplishments of theFit For Any Test Battalion, because
the Soldiers of this great battalionmade the impossible possiblethrough their dedication and hardwork. Commanding this battalionand its Soldiers has been the bestexperience of my 20-year careerin the Army.”
The newly-designated HHBNwill continue to flourish underthe guidance of Wambeke and thesupport of his wife, DeniseWambeke, said Antonia.
“As we transition thisimportant command, it is clearthe Army made a great choice inselecting Lt. Col. Brad andDenise Wambeke,” Antonia said.“I know they are exactly the kindof command team that will carryon the great work and caringleadership passed on from Mattand Cari (Tedesco).”
The DSTB’s reputation ofexcellence will continue as the

‘Raiders’ clearCBRN training
By Spc. Cardell Brown 1st Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs, 4th Infantry Division
Since redeploying from Afghanistan,the Soldiers of 1st Brigade CombatTeam, 4th Infantry Division, haveworked tirelessly to remain proficient intheir war-fighting skills.
The Soldiers of 1st Special TroopsBattalion, 1st BCT, 4th Inf. Div., conducteda two-day chemical, biological, radiologicaland nuclear training event at Fort CarsonTraining Area Range 72, Jan. 24-25.
“The gas chamber is designed to giveSoldiers confidence in their mask,” saidCapt. Anna Lebo, chemical, biological,radiological and nuclear officer, 1st STB.“It prepares Soldiers to be able to don andclear their mask in case of a chemicalattack, and gives them the confidence thattheir mask will protect them and allow themto remain safe in a chemical environment.”
“Raider” Soldiers entered the gaschamber in groups of 20, where they wereexposed to 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile,or CS gas, a chemical usually used as ariot control agent.
When someone is exposed to CS gas,their breathing becomes constricted, andcoughing and gasping is very common,said Sgt. 1st Class Ryan Moreno, CBRNnoncommissioned officer, Headquartersand Headquarters Detachment, 1st STB.
Additional strain is placed on salivaand mucus producers, resulting in internaldistress that can mitigate a Soldier’scombat effectiveness, he said.
Each group of Soldiers passed throughthe chamber, where CBRN specialistsdirected the group to remove masks andexperience the difference between thefiltered air of the gas masks and the airinside the chamber.
After 15 seconds of breathing the gas,the CBRN specialists directed the Soldiersto exit the chamber.
Outside the chamber, teary-eyed andcoughing, Soldiers struggled to inhale freshair after their experience inside the chamber.
“Despite the discomfort that I faced inthe gas chamber, I now feel confident

‘Rough Riders’ supportby sling loading supplies
By Sgt. Ruth Pagan2nd Brigade Combat Team PublicAffairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Thepacking process of a sling load will neverbe on an adrenaline junkie’s list of thingsto do, but hooking a load to a helicopterhovering 150 feet in the air might be.
Soldiers with Company A, 204thBrigade Support Battalion, 2nd BrigadeCombat Team, 4th Infantry Division, aresupporting their fellow Soldiers throughsling-load missions.
“A lot of it is on the fly,” said Staff Sgt.Jesse Payton, noncommissioned-officer-in-charge of sling-load operations. “It alldepends on the aircraft’s schedule. Someare last minute, and some are planned outa week in advance. It’s a rush.”
A sling load is external cargo hookedto a helicopter in flight, and transported tothe receiving destination, said Payton.
Deployed to Afghanistan, the supportSoldiers of 204th BSB are responsible forsupplying Soldiers throughout Kandaharprovince, said Payton.
“They can’t be reached by ground,so all their supplies have to come in byair,” he said.
The Soldiers of Company A determinethe weight of the package and type ofaircraft flown for the mission to determinethe equipment needed for staging and
hookup of the sling load.Payton said Soldiers must attend three
schools to become certified sling-loadinspectors: Sling Load InspectorCertification course and Air Assault andPathfinder schools. However, a Soldierdoes not need to be certified to help withthe cargo bags or cargo nets.
“We try to get Soldiers out there,” heexplained. “They aren’t qualified to inspectloads, but they can do everything else.
“They can rig it, and they can hook itup; (sling-load inspectors) are right therewith them to make sure everything’s safe.”
It is important to ensure the cargois secure to keep everyone safe, saidPfc. Devryann Robertson, ammunitionspecialist, Company A, 204th BSB.
“I helped rig up a Humvee,” saidRobertson. “We had to make sure thatall the glass was taped up, so that if itbreaks during the lift, it won’t fly offand hurt anyone.”
Having additional Soldiers trained tohelp with sling-load operations is importantto helping the sling-load inspectors deliversupplies to the Soldiers operating inremote locations, said Payton.
“(It gives) me great joy to know we areactually helping those guys out there thatare living rough,” Lewis said. “We workhand-in-hand with each other. They dotheir job; I do my job. Everybody is happy,and the Army is successful.”

‘Iron Knights’ share experienceStory and photo by Pfc. Nathan Thome
1st Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office,4th Infantry Division
TRINIDAD — Five “Iron Knights” Soldiersparticipated in an open forum Jan. 23 at Trinidad StateJunior College, where local citizens asked questionsabout the Army, service to the nation and the unit’srecent deployment in support ofOperation Enduring Freedom.
Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 66thArmor Regiment, 1st BrigadeCombat Team, 4th InfantryDivision, shared their experiencesin Afghanistan and how training atPiñon Canyon Maneuver Site,located near Trinidad, contributed tothe success of the unit’s mission.
“The terrain is the mostimportant key, because it’s similarto places like Iraq orAfghanistan,” said 1st Lt. ScottHendrickson, scout platoonleader, Headquarters andHeadquarters Company, 1st Bn.,66th Armor Reg. “Hills andcanyons are something we mightencounter, so we need to knowhow to navigate them in order tocomplete our missions.”
Realistic training providesSoldiers tactical knowledge andexperience necessary to save livesduring deployments, Hendricksontold the audience.
“It prepares us to the best of our ability tonot have any failures, because failures in ourline of work could end up costing someone theirlife,” he said.
Local patrons also shared their appreciation forthe Soldiers, expressing gratitude for their service tothe nation and outreach to the community.
“I think what many of us have taken for grantedis the importance of what you do,” said Felix Lopez,
President of Trinidad State Junior College. “We needto proudly tell the story of whom we are as a nation,and show the people what it was like in Afghanistanthrough the eyes of a Soldier.”
Many people attending the forum showedcuriosity about the Afghan culture and the perceptionof Soldiers in the Afghan villages.
“Almost every Afghan was distrustful ofAmerican Soldiers at first, but the more time we
spent with the people, and (theAfghans) seeing that we weregenuinely trying to help them,the more they bonded with us,”said Staff Sgt. Jason Knese,scout platoon sergeant, HHC, 1stBn., 66th Armor Reg.
Eventually, the Soldiersbecame friends with the villagers,Knese said.
“Children held the Soldiers’hands while they conducted …patrols and the men of the villagesinvited them over for dinner,” he said.
As the open forum ended, theTrinidad community personallythanked the Soldiers for theirservice and everything they do indefense of the nation.
“I would personally like tosay ‘thank you,’ because I canreally only do my job if myFamily is safe back here,” saidHendrickson. “So thank you forsupporting American Soldiers,Marines, Airmen and Sailors, andfor just being an American.”
From left, 1st Lt. Scott Hendrickson, scout platoon leader; Staff Sgt. Jason Knese, scout platoonsergeant; Spc. Jerry Black, scout; Spc. Ramon Aguilar, scout; and Pfc. Jeremy Teaford, scout, allassigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment,1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, speak with citizens of the Trinidad communityJan. 23 at Trinidad State Junior College.
Soldiers of the redesignatedHHBN continue to support themission of the “Ivy” Divisionleadership, said Wambeke.
“I am thrilled and humbled tobe standing here today,” Wambekesaid. “Please know that I will domy absolute best to care for you,and build upon the solid reputationthis battalion has developed underthe leadership of the Tedescos.”
While the mission of theHHBN will stay the same,reflagging the Fit For Any TestBattalion represents the inter-dependent relationship betweenthe HHBN and the 4th Inf. Div.command, said Tedesco.
“Today marks the end of one
chapter and the beginning of a newone in the proud history of the FitFor Any Test Battalion,” he said.“The redesignation of the battalionfrom the Division Special TroopsBattalion to Headquarters andHeadquarters Battalion links thebattalion directly to the heritage ofthe 4th Inf. Div.”
Tedesco explained that whilethe DSTB maintained anautonomous history from thedivision, the HHBN now sharesthe heritage of the 4th Inf. Div.headquarters.
“Today we became a part ofthe division itself,” Tedesco said.“That is the reason why this newbattalion doesn’t have streamers;we share the same as the divisionitself. This draws us closer to thedivision we support.”

Soldiers, Fort Carson civilians learn to bounce backStory and photo by Pfc. Andrew Ingram
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office
Active-duty Soldiers, Colorado NationalGuardsmen and Fort Carson civilians participated inMaster Resilience Training at the 1st Brigade CombatTeam, 4th Infantry Division, headquarters Jan. 18-27.
The 10-day class focused on preparing the officers,noncommissioned officers and Fort Carson civiliansto effectively pass on the skills they learned to others.
Soldiers can use the tools taught during MRT todeal with challenging situations and recover, or“bounce back,” from difficult experiences, said KatieCurran, a senior Master Resilience trainer from theUniversity of Pennsylvania.
“The goal is to teach a set of skills that willenhance resilience,” Curran said. “We are buildingself-awareness, self-regulation, optimism, strength ofcharacter and mental agility.”
“It’s instilling skills that will target, what we know,are teachable about resilience; ultimately, to helppeople bounce back from adversity and thrive,” she said.
MRT is a key component of the ComprehensiveSoldier Fitness program, an Army initiative designedto highlight the importance of physical, emotional,social, familial and spiritual health in the lives ofevery Soldier.
During the first six days of the train-the-trainercourse, Curran, and associates from the University ofPennsylvania, used lectures, classroom discussionand smaller group activities to familiarize the 120students with the MRT subject material.
On day seven, the students began to focus onteaching the material themselves; preparing to takethe skills back to their units and the Soldiers theyinteract with on a daily basis.
“This group is highly engaged, highly motivatedand very enthusiastic about teaching these skills,”Curran said.
The students learned about bad habits andthought patterns to avoid. They also studied goodthought patterns and processes they can implement intheir own lives, and foster in their troops, said Sgt. 1stClass Anthony Gantt, noncommissioned-officer-in-charge, Mobile Training Teams, comprehensiveSoldier Fitness Office at the Pentagon.
“The skills that we teach are basic leadership,”said Gantt. “We want our leaders to be mentors. We
want our leaders to be role models, and we need ourleaders to be motivators.”
Many of the students have already used the preceptsand skills they learned during the class to improvetheir professional environments and personal lives,said Sgt. 1st Class Tony Thomas, platoon sergeant,Troop A, 3rd Battalion, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4thBrigade Combat Team, 4th Inf. Div.
Thomas said he spent the first five days of thecourse with a negative attitude toward the training.
He said he became argumentative with theinstructors, and his attitude made him feel exhausted.
“I’ve been through so many deployments andso many adverse situations, and bounced back onmy own, I didn’t think I needed any of this,”Thomas said. “About day six, a light bulb went offin my head. I was thinking about myself; I wasn’tthinking about my Soldiers, who could really benefitfrom this.
“The values I learned here in the military frommy leaders and mentors tell me ‘never show weakness.
Never show you care,’” he said. “Now after this class,I feel like I will be able to relate to them better. Iwill be able to help them with their problems andovercome their adversities.”
By passing on the MRT training to the Soldiers ofTroop A as they prepare for a deployment toAfghanistan, Thomas said he thinks his Soldiers willperform more efficiently and maintain a betteroverall attitude when facing adversity.
Kimberly Krohn, a financial counselor with FortCarson’s Survivor Outreach Services, said shebelieves the MRT philosophy could help her clients,Family members of fallen Soldiers.
“One of the biggest skills we can teach Familiesof the fallen is resilience,” Krohn said. “If we canhelp them have the tools in their toolbox to walk awayfrom that most horrific life experience, it reallyempowers them to have a different outlook on life.”
Optimism and the ability to identify one’sstrengths, both key points of MRT, are importantskills for grieving Families to develop, said Krohn.

The Attack Battalion main body deployed forward, leaving arear detachment to provide support for the deployed troops andhandle the stateside mission.
The Family readiness group works directly with the AttackBattalion rear detachment to ensure all Family member issuesare taken care of, said Capt. Aaron Rettke, rear detachmentcommander, 1st Bn., 2nd Avn. Reg.
The FRG provides Soldiers peace of mind knowing that therear detachment and FRG will take care of business at homestation, so the Soldiers can accomplish the mission, said Williams.
“My unit’s mission is to bring everyone back safe,” saidRobinson. “Get over there, accomplish the mission and bring 100percent (of our Soldiers) back.”

Directorate of Family and Morale,Welfare and Recreation officials helda Fitness Expo at The Hub Jan. 27 to showcase fitness opportunitiesavailable on and off post.
“A lot of times (Soldiers andFamilies) don’t know what we offer, so it’s important to do these kinds ofevents,” said Jennifer Pearson, eventcoordinator. “We want them to knowthat we have four gyms on post, thatwe have an Outdoor Recreation Center,yoga, spin … and tons of other things.”
The event reached out to thoseinterested in making fitness a part oftheir lives and who wanted to learnmore about what is available.
“I think people see our gyms and think we just have a gym … they
don’t know we have personal trainers,group classes, ski trips, golf and bowling,” Pearson said. “Recreationgoes far beyond the gym.”
Gyms on post conduct groupclasses throughout the week to include weekday spin classes at Waller Physical Fitness Center andTotal Resistance Exercise trainingweekday mornings at Garcia PFC.
“We want to help them find whattheir passion is,” Pearson said. “Youmay enjoy rock climbing, but thatdoesn’t mean you will like running.”
The expo featured 15-minuteclasses of Zumba, yoga and spin.
Family member Marcos Zuritalearned how to use the TRX trainingsystem at the Expo.
“It is a lot harder than it looks,”Zurita said. “It is definitely a workout.”
Nick Nicholson, personal trainer,taught participants, like Zurita, TRX
beginner exercises and explained thebenefits of the system.
“The TRX system works very well with the new Army regulations onArmy fitness,” Nicholson said. “Thisequipment goes from the battlefield tothe training room and back again.”
Nicholson coaches Soldiers on the TRX system for physical trainingat Garcia PFC. The system focuses on improving core strength, enduranceand mobility.
“It is core all the time, anywhereanytime,” he said. “Many installationshave included TRX into their trainingprograms.”
Along with TRX, participantswere introduced to the fitness benefitsof kickboxing. Farrell’s eXtremeBodyshaping, an off-post sponsor ofthe event, provided boxing gloves andpunching bags to teach participantsbeginner kickboxing methods.
Jenny Vohsman, Farrell’s eXtremeBodyshaping owner and instructor, saidkickboxing is a whole-body workout.
“We guarantee results,” she said.“Kickboxing is a great way to havefun and improve fitness through a cardio workout.”
Vohsman taught participants proper standing, punching and breathing techniques.
“I think kickboxing is great to add to a physical training program,” said1st Sgt. Stephen Roberts, 1st Battalion,8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd BrigadeCombat Team, 4th Infantry Division,who donned the boxing gloves for aquick lesson with Vohsman. “Whateverkeeps Soldiers on their toes and agileis very beneficial to the mission.”

Bridge provides safer passage for studentsStory and photo by Susan C. GalentineDirectorate of Public Works public relations
Stratmoor Hills Elementary School students havea new bridge to walk across on their way to andfrom school. The B Street pedestrian bridge, part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Carson rail yard expansion project, opened Jan. 20.
The $12.5 million expansion project, which beganin October 2010, includes stronger metal rails,building a holding spur parallel to the main line toincrease loading ability during deployments, and the “wye” track — a Y-shaped track arrangementused for reversing the direction of a train — beingextended to increase rail car turnaround capabilities.
“The project will allow Fort Carson to deploy abrigade within 72 hours,” said Justin Scherzberg,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project engineer forthe rail yard expansion. “Previously, Fort Carsonwas not capable of meeting this Army standard.”
During the planning stage of the rail yardexpansion, the need to provide a safer means for
local students walking to the nearby elementaryschool became obvious and the new bridge wasincluded in the project.
“The primary purpose of the pedestrian bridgeis to provide children a safe method of crossingthe railroad tracks to and from their homes andStratmoor Hills Elementary School,” said MichaelMayline, Directorate of Logistics TransportationDivision chief.
“In addition, the bridge allows continuous railoperations. In the past, operations had to cease from (7- 8:30 a.m. and 1:30-2:15 p.m.) These hourswere usually the peak hours for the commercial rail companies picking up or delivering rail cars.”
The bridge also eliminates the need for childrento cross B Street and Loomis Boulevard to get toschool. Approximately 240 students, 80 percent ofthe school’s population, and some of their parents,walk to the elementary school each day, saidJennifer Sprague, Harrison School District 2 public information officer.
The 249-foot, fully-enclosed bridge spans over
B Street, Loomis Avenue and the rail road tracks.The pedestrian bridge is accessible by two Americanswith Disabilities Act-compliant ramps, each rampconsisting of six flights. The main bridge span’sstructural steel is comprised of weathering steel,which will change colors as it weathers with time.
As combat operations overseas scale back, the expanded rail yard will continue to play a critical role for the installation in meeting other mission requirements.
“The future use of the expanded rail yard will continue with deployments of military units to training locations within the United States,” said Mayline. “On a rotating basis, we are movingunits to and from Southern California, Louisiana,Kansas and Piñon Canyon. In addition, we will continue to deploy units to and from American seaports in support of the U.S. military missionOperation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.”
El Paso County is responsible for general maintenance on the new pedestrian bridge, including snow removal.
The B Street pedestrian bridge, constructed aspart of the Fort Carson rail yard expansion project,provides a safer means for Stratmoor Hills ElementarySchool students to get to and from school.

From the outside, building1662 looks like any other building on Fort Carson. But on the inside, it’s part companyheadquarters and part Olympictraining facility.
The building is home to theWorld Class Athlete Program,which provides outstandingSoldier athletes from all Armycomponents the support and training to compete and succeedin national and international competitions leading to Olympicand Paralympic Games, whilemaintaining a professional military career.
Since WCAP’s inception in1997, 40 Soldier athletes haveparticipated in the Summer andWinter Olympic Games winninggold, silver and bronze medals.
With the road to the 2012Summer Olympics already beingpaved, several of WCAP’s athletesare vying for spots on the team.
“The road to the Olympics as a Soldier is not an easy one.They have to be the best of thebest and able to compete and win on a national level,” saidCapt. Jonathan Harmeling,WCAP commander.
“To get to WCAP is extremelyhard and our entry standards arevery tough,” said Harmeling.
A complete list of eligibilityand application procedures can be found on the WCAP website at http://www.thearmywcap.com.
“I would recommend that any Soldier looking to join the WCAP join the All-Army SportsProgram through the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. That’s wherethey can fine-tune their skills to be able to achieve the high level that it takes to get into the program,” said Pvt. Julio Saunders, a WCAP taekwondo team member.
There are currently 12 coaches and 53 athletes participating in a wide array of sports such as bobsled, fencing, modern pentathlon, shooting and many more sports associated with both the Winter and Summer Olympic games.
WCAP also has a Paralympics sports program that includes archery, volleyball andtrack and field.
“I would tell any wounded warrior not to give up on athletics if that’s truly where your heart is, because if it is truly in your heart, you can overcome it,” said Sgt. Jerrod Fields, WCAP Paralympian.
Fields, who lost his left leg in 2005 after an improvised explosive device explosion in Iraq, is a 100-and 200-meter runner.

February is American Heart Month but is also known for Valentine’s Day. Yes, it is that timeof year where there is an exchange of flowers, balloons, jewelry and, most importantly, chocolate.
Here are some nutritionfacts and myths about thepopular treat.
Myth: Chocolate lacksany nutritional value.
Fact: Chocolate andcocoa contain magnesium,copper, iron, zinc, fiberand, most importantly,antioxidants, which support heart health. Atypical dark chocolate barhas as many antioxidants as two and three-fourths cups ofgreen tea, a glass of red wine or two-thirds cup of blueberries.
Myth: Chocolate must contain atleast 70 percent cacao to be good for you.
Fact: The percent cacao is an indicator of theantioxidant content of a chocolate. For example, 70percent cacao chocolate contains more antioxidantsthan 50 percent cacao chocolate. In an 18-weekstudy, subjects who consumed a small amount of50 percent cacao chocolate experienced a significantreduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A recent study showed short-term improvements
in blood flow and blood pressure after consumptionof a 60 percent cacao dark chocolate.
Myth: Chocolate is high in caffeine.Fact: Milk chocolate has 6 milligrams of caffeine
while dark chocolate contains more caffeine.Caffeine content can range from about 25-40 milligrams per serving. A typical 8-ounce cup ofregular coffee contains 65-120 milligrams of caffeine.
Myth: Chocolate is loaded withcholesterol-raising fat.
Fact: Cocoa butter, the fat in chocolate, doesn’t raisecholesterol levels the sameway that other types of
saturated fats do as long as it is consumed inmoderation as part
of a balanced eatingplan. In fact, eating
a 1.4-ounce milkchocolate bar instead
of a carbohydrate-richsnack was shown to increase
high-density lipoprotein (good)cholesterol levels.
Myth: Chocolate causes weight gain.
Fact: When keeping the portion sizesmall, the occasional treat can be a guilt-free
part of a diet. What’s more, many favorite candy andchocolate bars are also available in snack sizes, whichoften have less than 100 calories per piece. One tipis to savor a small piece of chocolate by letting itslowly melt in one’s mouth. It’s all about moderation.

Life can be like gas chamberCommentary by
Chap. (Maj.) Matthew Stuart1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division
I love my protective mask. I have slept with it by my side for months at a time, and even used it as a pillow. The only time I haven’t liked it is when I have had to take it off in the gas chamber.
I have heard some Soldiers develop a tolerancefor tear gas — not me. My eyes water and my snotruns all the way to my boots every time. And every time, I am reminded of how vulnerable I am.
The Army conducts nuclear, biological andchemical training so that each of us will have confidence in our protective mask to keep us alive ina chemical environment. Without it we would becomeincapacitated and casualties on the battlefield. Weuse tear gas because it is the weakest chemical on theshelf and the discomfort and irritation that it causesare temporary and harmless. But the lesson that itteaches is permanent — our protective masks work.
I wonder how many of us treat everyday life like going through the gas chamber. The effects aretemporary and harmless so we neglect the verythings that would keep us safe. Even though there is no cumulative harm, we live with the constantirritation and discomfort.
It doesn’t have to be that way. The Bible promisesus a comforter and one who knows what we aregoing through. Nearly 1,700 years ago, Gregory of Nyssa wrote of the benefits of prayer, which are applicable to us today: “The effect of prayer isunion with God, and if someone is withGod, he is separated from the enemy.Through prayer we guard our chastity,control our temper, and rid ourselvesof vanity. It makes us forget injuries,overcomes envy, defeats injusticeand makes amends for sin. Throughprayer we obtain physical well-being, a happy home and a strong, well ordered society.Prayer shields the wayfarer, protects the sleeper and givescourage to those who keep vigil. It will refresh you whenyou are weary andcomfort you when youare sorrowful. Prayer isthe delight of the joyfulas well as the solace of the afflicted. Prayer
is intimacy with God and contemplation of the invisible. It is joy in things of the present and the substance of things to come.”
If you are going through the gas chamber todayand you have your eyes closed as tight as you can,
you are half way there already.
“Let us have confidence then,and approach God’s throne,where there is grace. There wewill receive mercy and findgrace just when we need it. ”
— Hebrews 4:16

The earth’s atmosphere providesthe planet with a temperate climateand makes it possible to sustain life.The atmospheric system operates like a green house, allowing the sun’s warming rays to penetrate theearth’s surface and then retains someof that warmth around the planet.
The atmosphere contains criticalgases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbondioxide and other trace gases. In balance, these gases, which are calledgreenhouse gases or GHGs, work to keep the earth at a life-sustainingtemperature. If there are too fewGHGs, the earth becomes a snowball;and with too many, the earth becomesan oven. Both situations end up altering the earth’s naturally varyingclimatic rhythm causing unpredictableenvironmental consequences.
Greenhouse gases are believed tobe increasing in the earth’s atmosphereand, as a result, may contribute to climate change. According to theEnvironmental Protection Agency,these gases include carbon dioxide,CO2; methane, CH4; nitrous oxide,NO2; and fluorinated gases. Thesegasses are produced by both naturaland human processes.
Naturally occurring GHGs comefrom volcanic eruptions, organic material decay, forest fires and plantand animal respiration. Human activityalso contributes to the release ofGHGs through combustion of fossilfuels, such as coal and oil products.
Scientific studies of greenhouse
gas emissions indicate that GHGs aresteadily rising in the atmosphere fromabout 280 parts per million in the 1850sto approximately 385 ppm currently.
The EPA reports human contribu-tions to GHG emissions include:
• CO2 sources generated fromburning of carbon-based fuels, such as coal and wood and oil products.
• CH4 emissions from the produc-tion and transport of coal, natural gasand oil; livestock and other agriculturalpractices; and organic waste decay in municipal solid waste landfills.
• NO2 emissions from agriculturaland industrial activities as well as during combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste.
• Fluorinated gases, which are synthetic, powerful greenhousegases generated by a variety of
industrial processes.Globally, a number of nations
have begun a serious effort to addressman-made GHG emissions.
Executive Order 13514, signed byPresident Barack Obama Oct. 8, 2009,directed executive agencies includingthe Department of Defense, to providea commitment for GHG-emissionreductions. Since then, DOD established its goal of reducing GHGemissions by 34 percent from the 2008baseline year totals. DOD also statedreductions would not come from tacticalvehicles and equipment operations.
At the federal level, the EPAenacted mandatory GHG emissionsreporting for facilities belonging tospecific source categories or otherwiseemit more than 25,000 tons of CO2equivalents annually. Additionally, the
EPA included in its regulations permitting requirements for major new and modified sources of GHGemissions. As a result, Fort Carson isconsidered a major CO2 GHG sourceunder the new EPA regulations. TheColorado Department of Public Healthand Environment adopted the EPA requirements into their permittingauthority, which Fort Carson fallsunder for oversight.
In 2011, Fort Carson reportedemissions of 62,593 metric tons ofCO2-equivalent GHGs. The 2008baseline total GHG emissions were77,080 metric tons of CO2-equivalentGHGs, about a19-percent reduction in GHG emissions at the installation.

Government tackles GHG emissions
Everyone can play a part in reducing GHGemissions. The following are everydaystrategies provided by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency to improve air qualityand even save money in the process.
At home• Don’t use the dryer. Whether electric or
gas, less use of any energy to heat air todry laundry is less energy consumed.Clean the lint filter after each use tomaximize efficiency.
• Replace any incandescent light bulbswith compact fluorescent light bulbs orlight-emitting diode bulbs to save energyand money. If every household replacedfive incandescent bulbs with CFLs in highuse light fixtures, this would preventthe greenhouse gases equivalent to the
emissions from nearly 10 million cars.• Use the microwave — it uses a lot less
energy than conventional ovens andstoves, especially for heating water.
• Turn off lights when they aren’t being used,even when leaving a room for a short period.
• Buy a programmable thermostat to regulatetemperatures more efficiently. Keep thetemperature two degrees cooler in winterand two degrees warmer in the summer.
• Lower the thermostat on the waterheater to 120 degrees and wrap it with aninsulated blanket.
• Replace furnace filters to use less energyand keep indoor air cleaner.
• Set refrigerator temperature at 36-38degrees and the freezer to 0-5 degrees.When buying a new refrigerator, ensurethat it is Energy Star approved.
• Use a push mower, which, unlike a gas orelectric mower, consumes no fossilfuels and emits no greenhouse gases.
Green driving • Consider carpooling. • Consider walking, using a bike or mass
transportation for most transportationneeds.
• Consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle ormore efficient car.
• Get regular tuneups and keep tires properlyinflated — both help with fuel economy.
• Know when to turn the car off. The best wayto warm up a modern car is to drive it. Idlinghurts engines, wastes gas and contributesto global warming and pollution.
• Drive during nonpeak hours to avoidtraffic congestion, which increases idling.

In what may turn out to be one of the bestintramural basketball games played this year,the 60th Ordnance Company, 68th CombatSustainment Support Battalion, 43rdSustainment Brigade, team defeated the 1stBattalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd BrigadeCombat Team, 4th Infantry Division, 44-41 at Waller Physical Fitness Center Jan. 26.
The contest featured two quick, athleticand gifted basketball teams with neither teamable to generate more than a five-point lead at any point in the game. In fact, the secondhalf of the game was so well played that theoutcome of the game was in serious doubtuntil the final horn blew.
Based on this contest, suggesting bothteams playing could be considered seriouschallengers for the post intramural title thisyear would get few arguments. But, it is also safe to say one of the teams has nochance to win the post title this year.
The ordnance team played its first of fourgames before it leaves the Mountain Post formilitary training and will not return until April.
Knowing that it will not play for the posttitle has not deterred this group of athletesfrom coming out to show what they are capable of doing on the basketball floor.Kevin James, ordnance team head coach, saidhis team is all about representing the unit no
matter what the future holds. He said eventhough the team has limited time to get together,he feels good about the way the team cameout and played against the infantry team.
“This is our first game of the year and thefirst time we have played together as a team allyear. We haven’t even practiced much this year,but we came out today and represented the 60thOrdnance well and got a victory,” James said.
James said it was no accident his teamcame out on top. He said the team showed alot of guts and determination and played hard,especially on the defensive end. He said theway the team played showed that it is in goodshape and that it has the all-around game thatmakes most teams championship contenders.James said his team really showed its heartand determination when the infantry teamstayed close and would not go away.
“When they got back in the game I thoughtit was partly due to the rotation of our playersand they took advantage of us not workingtogether a lot. We have not had a chance toreally practice to see who could do what withwhom so it was hit and miss without rotationpattern today. Once they got the jitters out andwere able to regroup, we were able to stay incontrol of the game,” James said.
The ordnance team will only play threemore games in the intramural league this yearand, judging by the way this team plays, it maybe good for the rest of the teams that they willnot be challenging for this year’s championship.

units were moved to Peterson Air Force Base. Ent Air Force Baseproperty was returned to the city.
The Olympic Committee leased the property to create a trainingcenter. In the beginning, military buildings were used to house, feedand train athletes, while construction and improvements were ongoing.
The training complex occupies 37 acres and now has severalstate-of-the-art facilities used by athletes in training. About 500athletes and coaches can be accommodated at the training center at one time, with a dining facility and two residence halls on site.
State-of-the-art-facilities include a sports medicine and sportscience center, an aquatics center and two sports centers, one thataccommodates nine sports and one that accommodates 14 sports.The Olympic Shooting Center at the training center is the thirdlargest in the world and several world records have been set there.
About five blocks away from the training center, in MemorialPark, is a world-class velodrome. It has a 333.3-meter track, bankedat 33 degrees and is one of the top-rated velodromes in the world.
Skaters train in the Ice Hall near the Colorado Springs World Arena.
Other training facilities are used by U.S. athletes — LakePlacid, N.Y., and Chula Vista, Calif.
In addition to the Olympic Training Center, 12 USOC memberorganizations have a national headquarters on the complex and 13 other organizations have facilities in Colorado Springs.
