The staff at Moncrief Army Health Clinic experienced a bittersweet morning, July 28, as the unit welcomed incoming Command Sgt. Maj. Erin L. Hicks, while bidding farewell to Command Sgt. Major Mark X. Riddick, who departed for Korea, shortly after the ceremony.
Hicks comes to Moncrief, after serving ���"������!1��!�"��������2�.��.Z�-gion sergeant major at Tripler Army Medi-cal Center in Hawaii.
Her career has taken her to many global locations, including: Joint Base-San An-tonio, Texas; Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort Bliss, Texas, Fort Shafter, Hawaii, Grafen-woehr, Germany; and Camp Doha, Kuwait, along with a deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 06-08.
Col. Tara L. Hall served as reviewing � �.�� �� �"� ."������ �����������!��%
ceremony, which took place in front of the MAHC Headquarters. The event was at-tended by numerous command sergeants major from around Fort Jackson, including Post Command Sgt. Maj. Philson Taver-nier, who was became the Army Training Center and Fort Jackson senior enlisted leader. on June 26.
During the ceremony, Hall spoke high-ly of Hicks, while welcoming her and her Family into the MAHC footprint. She also commented on Riddick’s contributions to the unit during his time as the unit’s senior enlisted advisor.
“Command Sgt. Major Riddick, you’ve done an outstanding job with this organiza-tion and supporting the Fort Jackson mis-sion,” Hall said. “There’s no doubt that you understand the Army’s priorities, and you’ve provided a perfect example of how people are the strategic enablers or readi-ness.
“Command Sgt. Maj. Hicks, Mr. Hicks
and MJ, welcome to the Moncrief Team. I’m so excited to have you join our team, and I’m looking forward to keeping the momentum going with you and continu-ing this winning streak for Moncrief,” Hall continued. “These are unprecedented times that we’re facing and they will require nothing short of our absolute best efforts. This is necessary to ensure that we’re tak-ing care of the mission and we will do that �% ������ .���� ��� ��� � ��������.��-ries, our Families and our community, so let’s have some fun.”
Riddick thanked former Moncrief com-mander, Col. Chad A. Koenig for this guid-ance and for never micro-managing him. He also thanked the “unsung heroes” at Moncrief for the intangible things that they’ve done to ensure that the Moncrief mission continues to be a successful one.
“I’ve had many honors in this facility in the role as command sergeant major, but my highest honor, a privilege, was the abil-
ity to go around the Army and talk about what we do here. I spent 27 months doing that, and I spend my last few minutes doing it one more time,” he said.
Riddick pointed out that Moncrief re-mains the top organization in Regional Health Command-Atlantic in terms of training and leader development. He said it’s all because of the collaborative team-work at Moncrief.

Sally Lester – A one person farewell committeeBy ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Public Affairs
Soldiers may not graduate from Basic Combat Training in person before a large, cheering crowd, but they don’t leave Fort Jackson without a small send off.
Since the COVID pandemic stymied in-person graduations, a Fort Jackson commu-nity member has made it her calling to give them a little “good-bye” – social distance-style. On most weeks, Sally Lester can be seen standing on the side of the road holding up signs of encouragement as the troops pass in buses.
“Because of the recent restrictions and changes made to the Family Day celebration and graduation, I felt it was important for someone to congratulate the Soldiers for their hard work,” she said. “I know how important it is to have my hard work acknowledged and appreciated. I went through basic training 50 years ago and there were no family day celebrations, and graduations were held with-in the battalions. I would have liked to have had family, or even a local person take notice and congratulate me on my accomplishments. That’s what motivates me.”
When we show support to the Soldiers we are giving them a gift of encouragement, she added. “Which one of us does not thrive a bit more with some well-earned encourage-ment?”
Lester and her husband Ron have attended graduations and Family Day since moving from Colorado three years ago to do a church service mission at the Anderson Chapel for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Ron also volunteers by taking pictures ���"�*���+�.����2��!�./ ����� �.��
She longs to congratulate them “up close and personal.”
I want to tell them “I appreciated them. I know every Soldier comes into the Army for their own personal reason. It doesn’t matter what brought them to basic training. What matters is that they have become Soldiers and they have a high degree of patriotism. I want them to know they are appreciated and remembered.”
There is lots of space for Fort Jackson community members to join her, she said.
“Come join me at the corner of Chestnut and Hampton Parkway at 9 a.m. most Thurs-day mornings. I’d love to have company, at a safe distance of course. It is rewarding and fun and an unexpected, uplifting bright spot for our local Soldiers.”
The COVID-19 virus has caused the Army at Fort Jackson, SC, to suspend the Family Day. Since this time, Families of gradua-tion recruits are unable to come on Fort Jackson to personally cheer their Soldiers on gradua-tion day. Sally Lester, a retired Family member living on post, has taken the trainees’ Fami-lies’ place by standing on the street corner to becoming a one person cheering team. The graduating Soldier’s response has been overwhelming as they hoop and holler out the window of the passing buses.

By SGT. 1ST CLASS GARY A. WITTE207th Regional Support Group
Operating a military base is not easy work.Latrines have to be cleaned. Housing has
to be administered. Contractors have to be su-pervised. Water and food have to be tracked. 6���" "�� �� �� ������!% ��������� 6�� �.rules have to be enforced. Vehicles have to be maintained.
The 207th Regional Support Group, based out of Fort Jackson, spent much of 2020 in support of Operation Inherent Resolve over-seeing life support at three such locations in Iraq – Al Asad Air Base, Erbil Air Base and the Taji Military Complex. Members of the Army Reserve unit, acting as Base Operating Support Integrator cells, have dealt with the January ballistic missile strikes, extremist at-tacks and an ongoing pandemic.
Army Col. Jerome Jackson, who com-manded the unit and Al Asad Air Base throughout the deployment, praised the work of his troops.
“Our Soldiers have faced historic events and persevered,” Jackson said. “They consis-tently stepped forward to deal with whatever problems occurred. And they have always prioritized the needs of those who depended on us.”
Bases give military units locations to fa-cilitate their missions – including support of Iraqi Security Forces and actions against Daesh extremists. Likewise, it allows con-tractors to more easily provide services to those troops. Without the BOS-I, this pro-cess – and military missions – become much tougher, Jackson noted.
Army 1st Sgt. Sherrie E. Stevens, who su-pervises the housing, services, billeting and vehicle sections at Al Asad through what’s known as the Mayor’s Cell, said their work covers a wide range of tasks and issues on base. They deal with other people’s problems every day.
“I feel like we operate like a city govern-ment would,” she said.
For instance, the Mayor’s Cell has to ap-prove signs before they go up, inspect water points every week and even supervises the re-location of latrines. The BOS-I also acts as a conduit for directives from higher command and sends up daily reports.
“I have to have a hand in a lot of different areas,” Stevens said. “That’s what makes it challenging.”
This includes cooperation with not just American troops and contractors, but also
other Coalition Partners such as Norwegian, Polish and Spanish soldiers. Recently, the Al Asad Mayor’s Cell had to do a site survey to accommodate an area for German troops.
Units that come in whose equipment may not have yet arrived, leadership who need non-tactical vehicles and nearly anyone who needs a question answered, comes to the Mayor’s Cell for answers, Stevens said.
“We try to get them to the right person,” she said. “It’s pretty much a help center.”
Another section of the BOS-I, Anti-
Terrorism and Force Protection, monitors ��.����% ������� ����� ��� �. 0��!������� ���can issue citations. Base improvements and changing circumstances can also fall to the BOS-I. In April, Al Asad worked with the 206th Engineer Battalion to open a new wastewater treatment plant designed to save money, increase base security and help the lo-cal environment. Soon after its start, the plant was already processing thousands of gallons every day for the base.
In January, missile attacks targeted both
Al Asad and Erbil Air Bases and each loca-tion had to deal with the ongoing security threats that resulted. Stevens said that the Al Asad BOS-I had to help units clean up dam-aged areas of the base although they had no prior experience with that kind of mission.

Coalition Forces continue to work with allies and partners for a unified and determined mission to degrade and defeat Daesh.

TightenContinued from Page 2
So in this sense, Mr. Bowman’s comment was accu-rately insightful and prophetic: “We must tighten up, not lighten up!” COVID-19 fatigue, lapses in discipline, and declining vigilance expose the gaps, vulnerabilities, and points of weakness in the defensive plan to protect our Families, workforce and training population from the in-sidious Mr. COVID-19. Therefore, we must “tighten up” in these areas, double down on the measures that have contributed to our successes to date, and collectively re-commit ourselves to remaining effective in what is prov-ing to be a long campaign to thwart Mr. COVID-19.
No, this is not the time to lighten up. Although we have successfully brought things “on-line” and have fared well thus far in our engagements and battles with COVID-19, things look vastly different across our great nation.

The three Rs of explosives safetyBy WILL GUTHRIEFort Jackson Safety Director
The Army is currently in the midst of a campaign to edu-cate everyone on the dangers of unexploded ordnance. Instal-lations like Fort Jackson may have UXOs in or near training areas that may have been hidden for decades.
These unexploded munitions including their components may contain high explosives, propellants, or pyrotechnics and should never be collected as souvenirs or trophies. No matter how old or damaged a munition may look, it can still be as, or more, dangerous than the day it was made.
Recognize, Retreat and Report, or 3 R’s, is the slogan to "�!��� �����������"�� �����"������������������material that looks like munitions.
Recognize when you may have encountered a munition
Recognizing when you may have encountered a munition is the most important step in reducing the risk of injury or death. Munitions may be encountered on land or in the water. They may be easy or hard to identify.
To avoid the risk of injury or death:� Never move, touch, or disturb a munition or a suspected
munition.� Be aware that munitions do not become safer with age;
in fact, they may become more dangerous.� Don’t be tempted to take or keep a munition as a sou-
venir.Munitions come in many sizes, shapes, and colors.
Some may look like bullets or bombs while others look like ���������!!.�������0���.���� ����
Whether whole or in parts, new or old, shiny or rusty, mu-nitions can still explode. The easiest way to avoid injury or death is to stay out of areas marked with warning signs.
RetreatDo not touch, move or disturb it, but carefully leave the
area.Avoid death or injury by recognizing that you may have
encountered a munition and promptly retreating from the area.If you encounter what you believe is a munition, do not
touch, move, or disturb it. Instead, immediately and carefully leave the area by retracing your steps—going out the way you entered. Once safely away from the munition, mark the path #��������"����.�� .!��"���)������������������!.�����the munition.
ReportImmediately notify the police, if on land, or the U.S. Coast
Guard, if on navigable waters.Protect yourself, your Family, your friends, and your com-
munity by immediately reporting munitions or suspected mu-nitions to the police.
Help us by providing as much information as possible about what you saw and where you saw it. This will help the police and military or civilian explosive ordnance disposal ��������!�����0�!����������������"�����������
If you believe you may have encountered a munition, call 911 and report: The area where you encountered it and its gen-
eral description. Remember, do not approach touch, move, or disturb it. When possible, provide its estimated size, shape and any visible marking including coloring.
