Not every fight happens on the battlefieldTeammates:In September, Fort Jackson and the Army

joined the World Health Organization, the Inter-national Association for Suicide Prevention, and nations worldwide in observing World Suicide Prevention by “creating hope through action.”

During this month, and every day throughout the year, we strive to “connect to protect” – to be there for others, listen without judgment, and assist our fellow Soldiers, Civilians and Families by connecting them to available resources. We recognize that small things we can do every day, such as checking in on someone with a short vis-it, phone call or text message, can make a differ-ence in the lives of the members of our Squads.

Being actively involved in the well-being of our leaders, subordinates and coworkers is crucial to building cohesive teams and creating �� the challenges they face. If you see a teammate exhibiting common risk factors such as depres-sion, anxiety, hopelessness, or isolation – say something!

I call upon you to join me in creating hope through action, building positive relationships �� to protecting our Army Family.

Here on Fort Jackson, help is available day and night both in person at Moncrief Army Health Clinic’s Behavioral Health or privately through

the Military Crisis Line at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or by text at 838255 and online chat at

https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/get-help/military-crisis-line.

“Team – Leadership is a contact sport, staying engaged means we care. When we stay positively intrusive with each other we are taking care of the team! This is my squad!”

By ALEXANDRA SHEAFort Jackson Leader

“Welcome to the graduation ceremony of the 1st Battalion, 61st Infantry Regiment,” said the battalion’s commander Lt. Col. Daniel R. Hayes.

For the Family of four sitting a few rows in front of the commander, this would be their fourth graduation within a year at Fort Jackson.

“My niece is graduating basic training,” said retired Col. Jamie Benton. “We’re keeping (military) service in the Family.”

Pfc. Kelley Green of Company B graduated Sept. 16, along with more than 700 fellow train-��"��

Col. Benton as her sisters and uncle looked on.�� #�� $��

ranks of the Alabama National Guard alongside Benton’s three sons and grandson.

Four of the Family graduated Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson, a place Benton has known since she and her sister graduated their basic training in 1983.

“My sister graduated a little after I did but I got to see her before I went to Adavnced In-dividual Training,” Benton said. “Back then it was 71L-Administrative Specialist.”

In 2005, the Army changed the 71L military occupational speciality to 42A-Human Re-sources Specialist.

Green will follow in her aunt’s footsteps

“I graduated basic training and it makes me feel good saying that to my Family,” Green said. “My AIT right across post. I’m ready to start AIT and write my Army story.”

Green, following in her aunts’ footsteps, be-gan AIT a few days after completing basic train-ing.

“Every one of our kids is military,” said Col. &��"��'��*��+��5 Roger Benton. “The Army has been good to us and we love our Army.”

JACKSON TEMPORARILY ADDS

By ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Public Affairs

Fort Jackson’s Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board tem-porarily added seven establishments to its off-limits list.

The establishments temporarily added to the off-limits list are:� Unlicensed bar/club at 6912 Cabin Creek Road, Hopkins,

S.C.� Hookah on the River, 2700D Broad River Road, Columbia,

S.C.� Exquisite Events Center, 2700A Broad River Road, Colum-

bia S.C.� My Place, 7720 Claudia Dr, Columbia S.C.� Rose Gold, 2219 Broad River Road, Columbia S.C.� Tropical Breeze Bar and Grill, 3722 River Dr., Columbia

S.C.AFDCBs comprise representatives of various agencies on

post, including law enforcement, staff judge advocate, public af-�� -mander serving as the chair. Off-post law enforcement agencies are also invited to attend.

The board makes recommendations to the post commander.Commanders can place establishments off-limits if there is a

history of “misconduct, crime or other behaviors that would be detrimental to the good order and discipline of our military mem-bers,” said Maj. John Farrell Fort Jackson’s Provost Marshal.

�� !"�� should be invoked only when there is substantive information indicating that an establishment or area frequented by Armed Forces personnel presents conditions, which adversely affect their health, safety, welfare, morale, or morals.”

There are a wide variety of reasons an establishment can be place off limits including violent crimes, illegal alcohol sales, predatory lending and unfair business practices.

“For example, if a Soldier goes to buy a vehicle and their APR is outrageous. Something that is not in a good interest for the service member,” Farrell said.

#��$%&'�� (��(��)��(��an establishment on the list. First, the board must receive a complaint. Then, board members of local authorities conduct an investigation and mail a memorandum to the offending company, informing it of the problems it causes and potential �� *

The business owner may submit a rebuttal, meet the board or change the behavior.

If the company fails to respond, it goes on the list.They could turn permanent, Farrell added, but “before we

do that we invite the proprietors to come meet with the board and discuss with us our concerns with their establishments ��+�� )� ��serves them, as well as keeps our service members safe.”

Even if an establishment goes out of business it stays on the list he said. “A lot of these facilities that are placed off-limits are placed off-limits based on their address …. see them reopen a few months later with a different name, but possibly the same business owner and they oftentimes have the same problematic behaviors that we’re looking for.”

The AFDCB relies heavily on input from local authorities who receive complaints and track calls for service at the various establishments.

The off-limits list helps ensure mission readiness.!#�� 5��

wars,” Farrell said. “And to do that we have to have to �� 8�� -tary, to answer that call should that call come. Part of that is ensuring their safety and wellbeing, and that’s where the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board comes into place.”

(Editor’s note: Soldiers are reminded they are “pro-hibited from entering establishments or areas declared off–limits” according to AR 190-24. “Violations may subject the member to disciplinary action per applica-ble Service regulations and the Uniform Code of Mili-tary Justice.”)

It is a great way to help re-iterate the idea of Connect To Protect this month as September is National Suicide Prevention Month. It is amazing how the simple things that one can do on a daily basis can make a difference. The Army Values are the foundation to the month’s success. The seven Army Values spell out the acronym LDRSHIP for ��-rity and personal courage. Of these loyalty, duty, ��get closer to each other and reduce the number of suicides

An individual can select any one of the Army Values and it will help them connect with another person.

See VALUES: Page 16

U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command

Special Agent Gregory D. Ford assumed responsibility as director of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division, dur-ing a Transfer of Authority ceremony at the Pentagon, in Ar-lington, Va., Friday.

��for the organization since it was established as a major com-mand on Sept. 17, 1971. Ford assumed authority from Brig. Gen. Duane Miller, who served in the position since August. Miller will remain as the Provost Marshal General of the Army and the commander of the Army Corrections Command.

“It is my great privilege to lead the organization through this time of unprecedented change,” Ford said during his remarks. “CID has a long proud history of service to the Army and the nation. The transformation occurring now is not meant to erase or minimize that history, but rather to build upon it to ensure CID is ever-ready to provide superior criminal investigative support to the total force across all domains and in all loca-tions around the globe in order to maintain the readiness of the

United States Army.”As Ford becomes director, the U.S. Army Criminal Inves-

tigation Command is being renamed the U.S. Army Criminal %��=�� -zation in 1918, when Gen. John Pershing directed the Provost Marshal General of his American Expeditionary Forces to orga-nize a criminal investigation division within the Military Police Corps for the purpose of detecting and preventing crimes within the territory occupied by the American Expeditionary Forces.

Previously announced by the Army in May, the CID restruc-ture follows recommendations from the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee. The restructure effort splits the duties that were previously assigned to one person, dual-hatted as both the CID Commanding General and the Army’s Provost Mar-shal General, to focus the new civilian leadership solely on the criminal investigative process. Ford’s selection as director is an important step forward and one of several changes to come as the restructure process continues.

3rd Battalion,34th Infantry Regiment‘why i serve’

SGT. KIRA SHOEMAKER, 38Lake Worth Beach, Florida

“I completed my enlist-ment with the Air National Guard and wanted to con-tinue my career in the mili-tary and change my Military Occupational Specialty to continue to serve and protect my country.”

“I had already completed Air Force Basic Training so I knew Army BCT would be similar but with additional combat training.”

“The most challenging aspect of BCT was going back to trainee status and living among new recruits again.”

“I would advise people waiting to start BCT to come physically and mentally prepared to be ready for; physical training; the Army Combat Fitness Test; and to memorize key information such as the Sol-dier’s Creed and Army rank and insignia.”

My MOS is “68WF6 – Combat Flight Medic. I have worked as a paramedic as a civilian and was also a medic in the Air Force doing medical evacuations on C-130 aircraft. I have always wanted to work on rotor wing aircraft to be closer to point of care and combat.”

PFC. KANESHA FORE, 18 Jacksonville, Florida

“I was sitting at home one day when I got an email from an Army recruiter with information regarding a career in the Army. Not only did this intrigue me, but also my late mother because the Army was a dream of hers which she unfortunately could not pursue.”

“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be mentally and physically strenuous. I thought the drill sergeants would be scary and yelling all the time and we would get no sleep.”

“The most challenging thing about BCT for me would be the ruck marches and being surrounded by new people. I had to learn to go an extra two miles to maintain the pace of everyone else.”

“Advice I would give someone planning to start BCT would be to always remember why they’re here.”

My MOS is “88M – Motor Transport Operator. I chose this job as a starter to get the feel of military life before I transition to nursing.”

PFC. COLE MOSIER, 18 East Berlin, Pennsylvania

!L��[��)��grandfathers and other relatives who have served in the military to join the Army. All people that are currently serving and have served are my biggest role models in life.”

“I knew Basic Combat Training would be hard, strenuous and exhausting as well as nonstop work, but if I put in the work it would get easier and easier.”

“I would tell,” anyone about to start BCT to “put in the work before they come here or they will have a tough road ahead of them. I would also tell them to surround themselves with the hardest workers.”

My MOS is “35G – Geospatial Intelligence Imag-ery Analyst. I chose this MOS because it is a very similar job to what my great grandfather did when he served.”

PFC. DAVID KING JONES, 22Cedar Park, Texas

I joined because “I re-ceived a revelation from God that the military was where I needed to be.”

“I learned that I was a lot more prepared for Ba-sic Combat Training than I thought. The greatest chal-lenge I had during BCT was dealing with “a wide range of maturity between my fellow trainees.”

My best advice to anyone about to start BCT is to “workout prior to attending. You should focus on endurance running over speed. Get used to being uncomfortable and you will succeed at BCT.”

My MOS is “25U – Signal Support Systems Spe-cialist. It was the ‘jack of all trades’ for the 25 series and came with a bonus.”

FEATURE

PVT. DYLAN COOPER, 17 Fulton, New York

“Both of my grand-fathers time in service inspired me to secure my country, so I joined the Army.”

“I thought Basic Com-bat Training was going to be nonstop working and weapons maintenance.”

“The most challenging (�� '&#��out how to work with people who are completely dif-ferent from me.”

My best advice to someone starting BCT soon is to “listen carefully to all the instructions and complete �� (��)�*|

My MOS is “15U – CH-47 ‘Chinook’ Helicopter Re-pairer. I chose this MOS because I heard it will open up a lot of opportunities for my future.”

PFC. TIMOTHY SHEETZ, 18Janesville, Wisconsin

#�� [��me most to join the Army was “to pursue a career in special operations.”

I imagined Basic Combat Training to be “a lot harder. It wasn’t easy but I thought acclimating to the military life was going to be harder than it was.”

!}�8�� (�(��all different walks of life and ages,” was the most challenging thing about BCT for me.

My best advice for someone about to start BCT is “don’t think too far ahead. During BCT it is important to just take things day by day and strive to be the best version of yourself. Be sure to look out for your battle buddy, the team is only as good as its weak-est link and by looking out for each other you will be better off.”

My MOS is “25S – Satellite Communication Sys-tems Operator-Maintainer. It sounded like a fun and interesting job pointing my career in the direction of special operations.”

The safety and well-being of all Depart-ment of the Army Civilians, or DACs, is at the forefront of a policy unveiled Sept. 17, which now allows them to receive Army Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention services.

“Our Army Civilians deserve our sup-port if they are victims of a sexual assault,” said James A. Helis, director of the Army Resilience Directorate, which oversees the SHARP program. “We ask our Army Civil-ians to support the prevention of sexual as-sault, to take sexual assault training, and to intervene when they can; the very least we can do is to be by their side if they themselves are the victim of sexual assault.”

The new policy is another example of the Army’s commitment to eliminate harmful behaviors, like sexual assault, from its work-force, which impact all aspects of readiness including unit cohesion, trust, good order and

discipline, Helis said.“The Army has worked tirelessly to en-

sure parity for Army Civilians when it comes to SHARP services,” said Jill Londagin, SHARP program director.

In the past, only DACs working overseas �� }�� limited SHARP services. The only exception was if DACs were also dependents.

^*�� believed that (non-deployed) civilians would already have access to victim services in their communities,” she said.

The latest policy opens the door for DACs to receive SHARP services, whether appro-priated or non-appropriated civilians, regard-less of where they are in the world. However, despite not including contractors or interns, those individuals can still see a sexual assault response coordinator, or SARC, to ask ques-�� ?��a report.

The policy also lets DACs choose unre-stricted reporting using multiple routes, in-

cluding SARCs; victim advocates, or VAs; or victim representatives, or VRs. Unrestricted reporting allows victims of sexual assault who desire to receive medical treatment, counseling, SARC and VA assistance, and an ��

“Victims who make an unrestricted report of sexual assault can receive advocacy ser-vices from a SARC and a victim advocate for as long as they want instead of just while re-ceiving emergency medical treatment while overseas,” Londagin said.

DACs can make an unrestricted report of sexual assault by using a Department of De-fense Form 2910 and SARCs are available to help assign a VA to assist them if they request one, she added.

The policy does not include restricted re-porting, expedited transfers, or any additional medical entitlements or legal services DACs are not already allowed by law or policy to use, like emergency medical services, includ-ing a sexual assault forensic exam and post-exposure prophylaxis.

In regards to non-emergency services like follow-up care, DACs will not use military medical treatment facilities, if they are not el-igible. Instead, SARCs, VAs and VRs will as-��=�'��\��?��rape crisis centers and counseling services.

A special victims counsel may also be pro-vided on a case-by-case basis for independent legal representation, dependent on the cir-cumstances at the time of the request.

“There is no change to processes or proce-dures for holding individuals accountable for their actions,” Helis said. “Subjects can be in-vestigated and prosecuted by civilian authori-ties if (the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division) doesn’t have jurisdiction under the (Uniform Code of Military Justice).”

“DACs who are victims of sexual assault, who chose to not receive SHARP advocacy or other support services, are highly encour-aged to utilize the Employee Assistance Pro-gram,” Londagin said.

DirectorContinued from Page 6

Ford said the transformation “will require a shift in how CID views itself and how it is viewed by others. Historically, the organiza-tion was viewed as an Army command tasked with law enforcement duties. We must now clearly establish CID as an elite federal law enforcement agency that operates within and in support of the Department of the Army.”

“I would like to encourage every mem-ber of CID to be a part of the change and to actively contribute ideas to the discussion,” ��named Division. “While the organization is comprised of active duty agents, civilian agents, and a variety of professionals who support those agents, we are one CID and need to remain focused on the criminal in-vestigative mission. The organization has many talented and dedicated people who are committed to ensuring CID meets the unique needs of the Army and sets the bar for the military criminal investigative organiza-tions.”

Under the restructure, CID will feature a higher ratio of civilian criminal investigators

to military special agents in order to increase investigative experience, stability and grow effective partnerships with local and regional law enforcement agencies.

“To bring about that change, CID leader-ship will focus on four complementary lines of effort: operational excellence, talent man-agement, modernization, and partnerships,” said Ford. “Additionally, the organization will commit to a culture of multi-tiered in-ternal oversight and continuous assessment.”

'�� Q�� performing the duties of the Under Secre-tary of the Army hosted the ceremony and thanked Miller for his leadership and contri-butions during his tenure at CID.

“General Miller, thank you for your hard work over the last three years,” Lowman said. “We look forward to your continued ef-forts in synchronizing Army law enforcement across the enterprise.”

Q�� director of CID.

“Greg will undoubtedly shepherd us from this initial starting point to the aimpoint of our redesign,” Lowman said. “I am con-vinced that he will be supported by those agencies and working groups that have al-ready brought us this far.”

“This ceremony is only the beginning

Director Ford. You have a challenging task ahead of you. Rest assured, you have the full support of the leaders in this room and across the Army,” Lowman said. “You have an out-standing group of special agents and investi-gative professionals hard at work.”

%��'%=�� general, Miller addressed the law enforce-ment professionals he has known for the past several years.

“Today marks an important change within the Military Police Corps and our Army,” Miller said.

“Great organizations continuously seek ways to improve and in some cases those changes can seem daunting. However, if we never realize the new possibilities that loom on the horizon, we may never reach excel-lence, but that’s not the case for CID nor is it the United States Army way.”

X��deliver CID to the next level.

“When I look to the future of CID, I see nothing but continued professionalism and increasing capabilities for the Military Police Corps and our Army,” added Miller. “The role that CID plays in the Army’s story is ever evolving. Now, Greg and his team, have the honor of guiding us through the next phase of its journey.”

During the ceremony, Ford thanked his

family and circle of friends, and Miller “for the open and candid discussions we’ve had over the last several weeks and for turning over such a professional and dedicated team.”

He also expressed his gratitude for the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff �� to appoint him to this position stating he is ^��-vilian director of Army CID.”

^*�� prevent crime and protect life and then to in-vestigate criminal allegations to uncover the truth,” said Ford. “We cannot succeed if we don’t hold ourselves to a higher standard than others would hold us to.”

�� with a skillset of more than 20 years’ at both the local and federal level, Ford was promot-ed to the Senior Executive Service in Decem-ber 2018. His experience includes 16 years at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service where he most recently served as the deputy director of operations. Ford joins CID as it reaches its 50th year as the Army’s indepen-dent investigative agency.

Ford began his career with NCIS in 2004. Prior to that he served in the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, Washington, D.C. and �� &%�*��=�'��+��"��Joint Terrorism Task Force.

The remaining entries for the bake off were plated and offered to patrons, “Do it in Pink” supporters and venders alike. For safety concerns, four-legged attendees were of-fered dog treats instead of baked items.

“It’s a wonderful day,” Roth said. “I’m sure we will have another ‘pawesome’ event in the future.”

EAP services include assessments, coun-seling, and referrals for additional services to employees with personal and/or work-related concerns, ensuring that DACs receiving sup-port after a traumatic event is the upmost prior-

ity, she added.SHARP services are not available to DACs

for cases of sexual assault committed by an in-� ��former spouse, a person with whom the victim shares a child in common or a current or former intimate partner whom the victim has shared a common domicile for more than 30 days.

Relating to sexual harassment, Equal Em-�� +�� those complaints. SARCs, VAs and VRs can

still help direct DACs to an EEO point of con-tact. Although the new policy is intended to as-sist civilians, they will not be required to use the services and the policy will not change the terms and conditions of their employment, as SHARP services are strictly voluntary.

Reporting also remains voluntary. However, victims are encouraged to report so they can re-ceive services, offenders can be held account-able and Army leaders can see an accurate view of the depth and breadth of sexual violence

within its ranks.Sexual assault, sexual harassment, and as-

sociated retaliatory behavior have no place in the Army, Londagin said.

“Victims who receive advocacy services are more likely to receive medical treatment, en-gage with law enforcement and stay engaged throughout the criminal justice process,” she said. “This can have a tremendous effect not just for individual victims, but for a community in the potential to prevent additional assault.”

Though retired, Col. Benton has no intentions of hanging up her uni-form permanently just yet.

Though her sons have all gradu-ated basic training, she and her hus-band plan on attending their grand-son’s AIT graduation later this year at Fort Lee, Virginia.

“They all wanted me to show up in uniform,” Col. Benton said. “They �� I’m very proud of all of them.”

“My sisters, aunt and uncle have helped me along in my military ca-reer,” Green said. “I have great role models and I thank them for that.”

After she completes her advanced training, Green will rejoin the 731st Combat Sustainment Support Bat-talion, Alabama National Guard, in Tallassee, Alabama.

She plans to join the Reserve Of-��'��Z�-versity with her cousin, Pfc. Joseph Benton.

“We have always competed in ev-erything so it will be helpful having a familiar face there,” Green said.

“It’s a great feeling being a part of something bigger (than yourself),” Green said. “But knowing that you are in it with your Family gives you a whole other sense of pride.”
