Chaplains Celebrate 237th Anniversary (ABOVE) Spc. Benjamin Ganglfinger, left, a newly assigned chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant, and Chaplain (Maj.) Wayne Hollenbaugh ceremoniously cut the cake while Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Pedro Martinez narrates during a 237th Chaplaincy Anniversary celebration Friday at Liberty Chapel. (ABOVE RIGHT) Chaplain (Col.) Chester Egert, Fort Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new garrison chaplain, points out his grandfather in a 1948 class photo taken at the U.S. Army Chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, then located at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. The image was part of a historical display created for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration. (RIGHT) Military and civilian guests of the anniversary luncheon pass through a serving line packed with picnic-style food. As they enjoyed their lunch, a slide show highlighted the history and traditions of military chaplains who â&#x20AC;&#x153;go wherever Soldiers doâ&#x20AC;? during peacetime and war.

Do not respond to any voice commands unless you are absolutely certain it is someone who can assist you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re safe, stay there,â&#x20AC;? said Sims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our primary objective is the shooter; we have to neutralize the threat before any further harm is done. Usually, that also means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking past victims without stopping to assist them, so anyone who can safely render first aid during these situations should certainly do so.â&#x20AC;?

The unpredictability of an active shooter situation is also a reality victims and PERT members must face, according to DACP Officer Larry Mawhinney. Does the assailant plan to kill everyone in sight or select individuals who caused the pain that motivated the attack? Is the shooter suicidal? The variables are many and the aggressive act is usually considered a last resort to mitigate an overwhelming hardship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which brings us back to the reporting aspect,â&#x20AC;?

Mawhinney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere along the way, that individual probably said or did something that indicated a problem. And we have to consider todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational environment in which behavioral health issues are increasing and family troubles may be greater because of separation or the economy.

EFMP Provides for Family Members

by Elke Jones Zschaebitz Kenner Army Health Clinic EFMP Coordinator

The Exceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory enrollment system designed to assist in providing comprehensive support for identified needs such as housing, community resources and special health care services for sponsored Family members of active duty military personnel.

EFMP is a Department of Army program that functions under the provisions of Army Regulation AR 60875. Enrollment is based upon the medical and educational requirements of Family members with required updates every three years or as needed to ensure the continuity of care in each individual circumstance.

During the assignment process for active personnel, enrollment in EFMP allows the Army to systematically consider the documented medical and special education

MILITARY SURPLUS

access needs of the EFMS as they are reassigned throughout the United States and in the global arena.

Who is an exceptional Family member?

An exceptional Family member is defined as a Soldier’s immediate Family member (child or adult), regardless of age, with any physical, emotional, developmental, behavioral, mental or intellectual disorder that requires special treatment, therapy, education, training or counseling on an ongoing basis. The Family members must be enrolled in DEERS to be included in the EFMP. Are special education needs always considered in the assignment process?

Special education needs are only considered in assignments outside the United States. Assignments within the U.S. and Trust Territories are not based on the educational needs of children. Every local school system must obey federal and state laws regarding the provision of special education.

Update EFMP Enrollment Exceptional Family Member Program enrollment must be up-to-date to ensure a Soldier is not “flagged” as “out of tolerance” in the Personnel Network at the 30-month mark. This results in ineligibility for a permanent change of station until the update is completed.

The 30-month mark is important because eMILPO shows a service member’s EFMP status as valid up to 36 months from enrollment or the last update.

Farmen, Chief of Transportation, gave his state of the corps speech; the 2012 Transportation Corps Officer, Warrant Officer, Noncommissioned Officer and Civilian of the Year were presented their awards for active duty and Reserve Soldiers; and the corps celebrated the investiture of the 2012 Distinguished Members of the Regiment.

At each event, Farmen took time to honor those who were recognized. Starting early that morning, Farmen and Command Sgt. Maj. Allen Offord Jr., Transportation Corps Regimental CSM, unveiled the plaque and cut the ribbon naming the Transportation School – building 2300 – as Wylie Hall.

“It is truly fitting that on our 70th anniversary of the Transportation Corps, we honor the legacy of a great leader and transporter, Brig. Gen. Robert H. Wylie,” said Farmen.

“He was a consummate leader and student.

“Today, we memorialize (the building) in remembrance of Brig. Gen. Wylie, a bold leader with far sight and vision who worked tirelessly to establish what was then known as the Transportation Officer Candidate School,” continued Farmen. “Seventy years later, this stands before you as the U.S. Army Transportation School, a true institution of excellence. The legacy of what he initiated now reaches out globally. As of today and into the future, Wylie Hall stands out at Fort Lee as a symbol of the professional training that our staff and cadre provide to our Soldiers and transporters.”

Shortly afterward, a dedication ceremony honoring Thompson was held outside the newly named conference room. Several members of the Thompson Family were at the ceremony and his widow, Dolores, was on hand to help cut the ribbon. During the ceremony, Farmen extolled Thompson’s value as a teacher and mentor.

“As the Transportation School continues to create, mold and teach our future Transportation logisticians and leaders, this conference room will serve as a great venue to engender fellowship, challenge students with critical and creative thinking opportunities, and expand intellectual horizons,” said Farmen. “For this reason, and all that Lt. Gen. Ross Thompson stands for, there is none better to name this conference room after than a man who embodied the words teach, coach and

mentor, and prided himself on being a lifelong learner.”

During the Warrior Recognition Ceremony, the corps honored nine fallen Soldiers from the past year by naming them distinguished members of the regiment, along with 30 others who have served the corps.

“To the fallen Soldiers we paid tribute to this morning, we owe each of them a debt of gratitude that we can never fully repay, yet we will do our best through our commitment to never forget them,” said Farmen. “For the distinguished

guests and honorees who were recognized earlier for their remarkable contributions to the corps, thank you all for your indelible service, commitment to excellence and professionalism. It is a combination of all we have done this morning, taking time to recognize excellence and reconnect with our regimental lineage, history and roots that makes our corps special and makes serving in the profession of arms not just a job but a commitment to serving something bigger than ourselves.”

As part of its 70th anniversary celebration, the Transportation Corps honored six of its former members and one Transportation unit in a Hall of Fame ceremony July 26 at the Lee Club.

This year, the committee chose retired Lt. Gen. William E. Mortensen, Mark J. O’Konski, retired Col. James A. Weiss, retired Master Warrant Officer 4 Thomas E. Gentry, retired Command Sgt. Maj. Larry H. Orvis and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Arthur F. Peete.

The unit chosen was the 523rd Transportation Company (Light Truck) because of its heroic actions in Lam Son, Vietnam. Several members of the historic unit were at the ceremony to accept the honor.

Brig. Gen. Stephen E. Farmen, Chief of Transportation, and retired Brig. Gen. Barbara Doornink, the honorary colonel of the regiment, presented the inductees and their spouses with awards honoring their inclusion into the Transportation Corps Hall of Fame.

“The Transportation Corps symposium celebration continues with the formal induction of six transporters and one historical Transportation Corps unit into our corps Hall of Fame,” said Farmen during the ceremony. “I humbly extend congratulations to the individuals who are being inducted.”

Although many serve in the Transportation Corps, not many are selected for this great honor, said Farmen.

“The Transportation Corps Hall of Fame represents the highest level of achievement for Transportation Corps Soldiers and symbolizes what it means to spearhead logistics over the course of a career,” he said. “Of the hundreds of thousands of Soldiers who have served our great corps in the last 70 years, only 89 transporters have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

“We pay tribute today for your lifelong commitment and distinguished service to the Transportation Corps and the U.S. Army,” continued Farmen. “We are grateful for your unparalleled contributions to the development of military transportation and logistics. As transportation legends, you were all instrumental in shaping our corps.”

During the ceremony, each of the inductees had an opportunity to say a few words. Mortensen thanked everyone for attending and said he appreciated being inducted alongside his fellow transporters.

“When you look at this year’s group, it tells a lot about the history of the corps: what we do and where we have been, he said. “This corps is about people who stay focused year after year, day after day … looking for the best we can do for our Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors or Marines.”

Currently, the official Hall of Fame for the Transportation Corps is located at Fort Eustis, although plans are in the works to move it to Fort Lee in the upcoming months, said Farmen.

Operation Homefront Joins ‘Got Your 6’ Campaign SAN ANTONIO – Operation Homefront, the nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial help and other assistance to the Families of service members and wounded warriors, recently announced that it has joined the national “Got Your 6” campaign.

As the military reduces deployments to Afghanistan, an estimated one million U.S. troops will be returning home and re-entering civilian life over the next three to five years. These service members can be leaders in their home communities, and the “Got Your 6” campaign is a coalition of government, business, entertainment and non-profit organizations working together to raise awareness of the value these veterans can bring to the civilian world. The name of the “Got Your 6” campaign comes from military terminology meaning, “I’ve got your back, and you’ve got mine.”

Launched in May, this campaign will focus on the “Six Pillars of Reintegration” – jobs, education, health,

housing, family and leadership. The non-profit group ServiceNation will head the campaign.

Goals and progress will be tracked for each of the six pillars by expert lead activation partners, and a steering committee comprised of representatives from participating partners will make sure that resources are allocated accordingly.

“One of our benefits has always been our forward presence in communities around the country, where we serve our military Families face-to-face,” said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of Operation Homefront. “This partnership with ServiceNation will allow us to further pursue our mission through the much needed ‘Got Your 6’ campaign.”

“We are honored to be able to partner with such a great organization,” said Chris Cashman of ServiceNation. “This will ensure that ‘Got Your 6’ reaches as many of our service members as possible in the communities across our country.”
