potential I saw in them,” he said. “We hadjust returned from our deployment, and wewere in the reset phase of our deploymentmodel, trying to reacquaint ourselves withthe basic mission of the field artillery inorder to fire rockets during annual trainingthe next summer. The unit pulled together,worked hard and became proficient at thefield artillery tasks necessary to completethat mission.”
Those plans changed in May 2011, whenCharlie Battery received the call to supportflood operations along most of the MissouriRiver, including Yankton, Smith said.
“I could not be more proud of the jobthese soldiers did while on flood duty,” hesaid. “There is a lot to be said about theirprofessionalism and devotion when ahomeowner is willing to make supper for anentire unit!”
Then came this year’s transition underSDNG reorganization, Smith said.
“The icing on the cake came during an-nual training this year when we success-fully incorporated Bravo and CharlieBattery into one cohesive team and firedrockets downrange for the first time in fiveyears,” he said. “That achievement put meat ease, knowing I had helped build a solidfoundation that will only strengthen overtime.”
Smith acknowledged the strong backingreceived from area residents.
“Thank you to the community of Yank-ton for the tremendous support you haveshown the unit during my time here,” hesaid. “You have been wonderful, and thereis not enough I can say to thank you!”
He then turned his attention to the menunder his command.
“To the troops, it is because of everyone of you doing what you do that has
made this a success,” he said. “Your hardwork, dedication, self-sacrifice and love forthose next to you will continue to make thisunit the best unit in the Army NationalGuard.”
Smith acknowledged the change of com-mand, as he handed over the reins duringthe ceremony to First Lt. Darrin Eichacker.
“It has been a blessing to have com-manded over a unit the caliber of this one,and I will miss working with all of you,”Smith said. “You will be in good hands withFirst Lt. Eichacker as your commander. Heis a knowledgeable and empathetic leaderthat will do great things for this Battery.”
A relocation ceremony was held Satur-day in Salem as Bravo Battery moved toYankton. Eichacker, a former member of theSalem unit, noted the uniqueness of theback-to-back weekend ceremonies.
“You don’t usually see the closing of oneunit and the changing of another one, all atthe same time,” he told the Press &Dakotan.
Eichacker marveled at the memorablecircumstances surrounding his new posi-tion. “This is the first official day of mycommand,” he said, showing a sense of aweat the historic transfer of authority.
The transition had actually begun earlierthis year, Eichacker said, when this sum-mer’s annual training exercise provided theideal setting for creating a new team.
The annual training also provided valu-able artillery work, as last year’s exerciseswere cancelled because of the flooding mis-sion, Eichacker said.
“We had people who hadn’t shot liverockets in a couple of years,” he said. “Andwe had people in the unit who were brandnew on the equipment.”
Lt. Col. Bruce Carter, the commander forthe 147th Field Artillery, recognized Lt. Gov.Matt Michels of Yankton during Sunday’sceremony and noted the strong state sup-port for its National Guard.
Carter also spoke of the difficult deci-sions made during the current reorganiza-tion process which resulted in a reduction
of units and the closure of some armories.“We lost 110 slots (of manpower), and
decisions needed to be made about theunits. But we weren’t going without a unitin Yankton,” he said. “You were the firstmilitia in the area (during Dakota Territorydays), and you have had a great militarytradition ever since. That (tradition) is dat-ing back to 1862 with the military stockade,continue to the present-day protection ofour homeland (during deployments). Thencame the historic flood of 2011 where youresponded to Pierre-Fort Pierre, Yankton,Vermillion, Dakota Dunes and the Wynstonearea.”
In separate comments, Carter told thePress & Dakotan that, under reorganization,the SDNG can now recruit women for its ar-tillery units. The 147th has already enlistedits first female soldier at its Aberdeen unit,he said, adding that he anticipates the re-cruitment of more women for the role.
During Sunday’s ceremony, current andformer Charlie Battery members received acommemorative coin. The special coin wasalso presented to retired Sgt. Corey Briest,a Charlie Battery member who sufferedtraumatic brain injuries and other exten-sive injuries during Operation Iraqi Free-dom.
Special recognition and coin presenta-tions were made to the families of CharlieBattery’s four fallen soldiers during Opera-tion Iraqi Freedom: Sgt. 1st Class RichardSchild, Staff Sgt. Daniel Cuka, Staff. Sgt. Gre-gory Wagner and Sgt. Allen Kokesh Jr.
Sunday’s ceremony was attended byErrol Johnson, the first commander in Janu-ary 1968 when the former 115th Signal unitbecame a field artillery unit and today’s “C”Battery with the 1st Battalion, 147th FieldArtillery.
The ceremony was also attended as ashow of support by nearly a dozen mem-bers of the American Legion Riders Post249 of Bloomfield, Neb.
After the ceremony, the new Bravo Bat-tery members hosted a lunch followed byan open house for the public.
SFC Brooks Schild, the unit’s public af-fairs representative, said it was a specialday for recognizing Charlie Battery’s his-tory and Yankton’s strong military tradi-tion.
“Yankton has supported its militarysince 1862, when they had the stockadeand you took in people from Sioux Falls andMitchell (because of the Indian uprisings).And Yankton supported its military withsupplies when (the state) was broke (in1898),” he said. “Now, with today’s cere-mony, we have two units coming togetherto become even stronger.”
Master Sgt. Matt LaCroix, a former Char-lie Battery member for about 20 years, saidSunday’s ceremony brought bittersweetfeelings.
“It’s a sad day to see Charlie Battery’sguidon rolled up. I was thinking about itslegacy, and now you see this piece of itshistory closed,” he said. “But it’s importantthat we keep a Guard unit in Yankton,whether it’s Charlie or Bravo Battery. Theychange the name, but the soldiers are stillthe same.”
LaCroix, a former First Sergeant withCharlie Battery, now serves with the 196thManeuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) inSioux Falls. However, he still feels ties tothe Yankton unit.
“My family lives in Yankton, and I amstill part of the Yankton community,” hesaid. “I consider myself part of Charlie Bat-tery’s history and always will.”
While no longer the commander, Smithlooks forward with anticipation toward thenew Bravo Battery’s achievements.
“Bravo Battery will continue the workthat Charlie Battery has done. There is nofear of that going away. That’s what we’realways about,” he said. “It’s a great unit,and they’re going to do extremely well inthe future.”

A hazardous materials (HAZMAT) tent provides a setting for decontami-nation efforts during Saturday’s disaster drill at Chan Gurney Airport.
on site. We had law enforcement,firefighters, first responders andambulance crews there from Yank-ton and Clay counties,” Hoffmansaid. “We had an ambulance thatactually had to respond to a call,then returned for the rest of thedrill.”
About 45 participants attendedthe debriefing afterwards, Hoffmansaid.
“For my first time (organizingthis), I thought it went pretty well,”she said. “It was interesting, frommy perspective, to see all thepieces and parts come together.During the debriefing, there wereno major issues whatsoever, whichis reassuring for community mem-bers.”
Yankton County emergencymanager Paul Scherschligt de-scribed the exercise as a perfectopportunity to test equipment.
“As far as how it went, it was re-ally super. Everything worked outwell,” he said. “We got to exerciseour new communications. Our tac-tical repeaters in the countyworked well. We were able to usethe backup dispatch center andmake sure it worked. As far as thepersonnel, they did a terrific job.They did what needed to be done,and everybody worked togetherreally well.”
A full-scale exercise must be
held at least once a year to qualifyfor Homeland Security and otherfederal funds, Scherschligt said.But the drill also provides valuabletraining in areas like hazard mitiga-tion, he said.
“It keeps our skills up. Every-body did such a great job, and nowwe can build on it for the future.We can take it another step furtherfor our next disaster drill,” he said.“One thing, with the (mass casu-alty incident) they had to haul pa-tients to the hospital, and (AveraSacred Heart Hospital) did theirown internal exercise in conjunc-tion with our drill.”
Saturday’s exercise put emer-gency personnel to the test, Scher-schligt said.
“With any of the major disas-ters, like a train derailment andchemical spill, you can have a lotof people get hurt,” he said. “Atour drill, we were able to treat a lotof patients at once.”
Saturday’s drill used Boy ScoutTroop 102 and the Citizens Emer-gency Response Team (CERT),Hoffman said.
“Every person plays an impor-tant part. We asked the Scouts forvolunteers and ran a little short, sowe asked the CERT team, whowere already observers and takingnotes,” she said. “The CERT teamis new, and this gives them somereal life practice for things theymay face.”
A state official was also on siteto observe and take notes, Hoff-man said.
Bill Lucht, an assistant Scout-master, said the drill helped his
Scouts earn merit badges in emer-gency preparedness and first aid.They arrived at 5:30 a.m. for“make-up” and also were assignedroles to play.
As a Yankton resident, Luchtliked the drill. “I think they shouldhave more of these drills, so theypractice day-to-day things. You cannever be overly trained,” he said.
Kortan, a Scout, said he enjoyedthe experience even though itmeant arriving at 5:30 a.m. “It wasreally cool. I didn’t know what toexpect. I would do it again,” hesaid.
Brown, a CERT member, wouldlikewise participate again. “I think,by using citizens, it helps (crews)handle real-life situations, and itmakes for a better community,”she said.
The drill was so efficient that itfinished far ahead of schedule,Scherschligt said.
“We were supposed to have ourdebriefing at 11 a.m., and we wereall almost home by 11 a.m.,” hesaid. “Everybody did their roles,and it worked just like clockwork.Hats off to everyone.”
