with their own setbacks.
Since the Brigade is widely
dispersed throughout the nation
and across the globe conducting
vital missions for the nation,
we know being away from
loved ones in distant places
requires all of us to have a strong
support base. As we begin
the last few months of a great
year, let’s continue developing
strong Soldiers and Families.
During the past twelve years
our nation has been at war, the
greatest burden of sacrifice has
been placed on our Soldiers,
Civilians and their Families. In
coping with the uncertainty from
the Global War on Terrorism
our personnel have continually
depended on each other to gain
strength and advantage over
adversity.
As the largest military
intelligence brigade within
INSCOM, the 704th “Here and
Everywhere” organization can
take great pride in knowing
that the leadership is focused on
the Army’s Ready & Resilient
and SHARP Campaigns. The
goal of the Command Team
is to ensure that in concert
with the Army, we cherish
the ideals of accomplishing
the mission and ensuring
the welfare of our Soldiers,
Civilians and Family members.
Thus, we want to ensure that
both SHARP and the Ready &
Resilient Campaign become
enduring fixtures inculcated
within the Brigade’s Family.
As we put the summer months
behind us and dive into the
busy season of back to school
and the quickly-approaching
holidays, resiliency is the key
to dealing with challenges and
helping other Soldiers, Family
members and Civilians deal

Our Army Family and the
communities in which we live
have assisted in building our
resiliency and maintaining
the best fighting force the
world has ever seen.
The SHARP program is
an important element in
Comprehensive Soldier and
Family Fitness. If we all treat
one another with the same
dignity and respect that we
have towards our own Family
members, we can help prevent
sexual harassment and sexual
assault within our ranks. I charge
you to be a true battle buddy
with your ranks and if you
see something that isn’t right,
speak up and say something.
Everyone has a role in creating
and maintaining a culture that
makes sexual harassment and
sexual assault unacceptable in
our organization. It is no secret
that reducing these incidents
across the Army and by a larger
extent our profession of arms,
we will build an organization
that is steadfast and loyal. The
fabric of the unit and the Army is
strengthened when we weave the
Warrior Ethos and Army values
together in a committed bond.
Ending sexual harassment and
assault begins and ends with
caring leaders who are on point
and involved in developing
the next generation of Ready
and Resilient Soldiers.

Warrant officers
look at history,
future at
95th birthday
celebration
Sgt. Amy Christopherson
704th MI Bde. Public Affairs
FORT MEADE, Md. – Though
the concept of warrant officers in
the military is said to date back
to Napoleon’s time, the official
birthday of the Army’s Warrant
Officer Corps was July 9, 1918.
The 704th Military Intelligence
Brigade observed the Warrant
Officer Corps’ 95th birthday
July 9 at Fort Meade, Md.
Chief Warrant Officer 5
Wendy Wayman, the signals
intelligence senior technical
advisor, hosted the event.
Wayman, the brigade’s senior
warrant officer who has a total
of 29 years in the Army, with 17
of them as a warrant, began by
reviewing the history of the corps.
After a look back through the
years past, Wayman summarized
the future of the corps.
“To boil it down, it is our job
to find the best and the brightest
noncommissioned officers to
follow in our footsteps,” she said.
The most experienced warrant
officer present and the newest,
Warrant Officer Ava Thompson,
with Bravo Company 742nd MI
Battalion, cut the birthday cake.
Thompson, who has only been
a warrant officer for six days,
expressed a common sentiment
about wanting to be a warrant.
“The first warrant officer I ever
met was the most knowledgeable
person I ever met,” she said. “He
made me decide this is where I
want to go in my own career.”
Wayman shared a similar
sentiment about one of
7. The VOICE │ 7
her first mentors.
“He was the epitome of
warrant officers,” she said.
“He knew everything and if
there was something he didn’t
know, he would find out. He
was a mentor, friend and an
example to live up to.”
According to the definition
developed by the Army in 1985,
a warrant officer is “an officer
appointed by warrant by the
Secretary of the Army, based upon
a sound level of technical and
tactical competence. The warrant
officer is the highly specialized
expert and trainer who, by
gaining progressive levels of
expertise and leadership, operates,
maintains, administers, and
manages the Army’s equipment,
support activities, or technical
systems for an entire career.”
Wayman said that is why
she wanted to become
a warrant officer.
“I love my job, and I
knew I wanted to keep
doing it long-term.”

BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE,
Colo. – The annual tradition
of 743rd Military Intelligence
Battalion’s Sports Week began
July 15, as company teams
fought it out to take control
of the Commander’s Cup.
The Annual Battalion Sports
Week has been a tradition of
the 743rd MI Bn., 704th MI
Brigade, since 1999. The Soldiers,
noncommissioned officers,
officers, and Family members
continued to go toe-to-toe
competing in sporting events,
Soldiering skills, and Family
fun in order to earn points
for their Company teams.
At 0630, the sun had just come
up as Lt. Col. Gary Hausman,
the 743rd MI Bn. commander,
gave his opening remarks
wishing everyone good luck and
emphasizing the importance of
safety during the week’s events.
Some of the competitions
included: 5-K run, 10-K
ruck march, obstacle course,
orienteering, soccer, combatives,
basketball, softball tournament,
volleyball, track and field,
ultimate Frisbee, and crossfit.
“It was a lot of fun and perfect
weather for this event,” said Capt.
Craig Maybe, a joint collection
officer representing Alpha
Company, after placing first on
the grueling obstacle course.
As the finale to a hard fought
week of competition, Col.
Anthony Hale, commander of the
704th MI Bde., joined the ‘Birds
of Prey Family’ as they kicked
off the annual organizational
day July 19, and announced
the winners of Sports Week.
Soldiers and Family members
came out to participate in
Family friendly events while
also enjoying some delicious
BBQ cooked by Bravo Co.
Soldiers. Some of the events for
Organizational Day included
slip-n-slide, face painting, water
balloon toss, tug-o-war, and a
karaoke for everyone to enjoy.
After competing in 17
events, A Co. took home the
Commander’s Cup by scoring
a total of 36 points out of a
possible 51. Headquarters and
Operations Co. finished second
with 31 points and B Co. brought
up the rear with 30 points.
Hausman said the A Co. Soldiers
did “a phenomenal job winning
the Sports Week. It was a close
race and everyone stayed in the
fight until the end. Good job.”

Soldiers, Family
members and
communities
benefit from
volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to
give some of your free time to
a cause that needs your help.
It’s an opportunity to feel good
about yourself, learn about
an organization you may be
interested in, meet new people,
and help a cause you believe in.
It also looks good on a college
or job application! If you don’t
know how to go about getting
started with volunteering, check
out the information below.
To get started: Think about
what you’re interested in and
what you’re passionate about.
Do you feel strongly about
helping veterans? Do you care
about saving the environment?
Do you love working with
animals? Once you figure out
what you feel strongly about,
you can narrow down your
search for a volunteer position.
To start researching volunteer
opportunities in your local area,
first visit the Volunteer Activities
Coordinator at Ft. Meade, Army

go after the opportunity that
best fits your interests. Call the
organization, email a contact, or
stop by and find out how you
can start helping out. Figure out
your schedule and the level of
commitment you think you can
handle before you get too involved
with an organization. You need
to know ahead of time how much
time you have to give after work
and participating in any other
activities you’re involved in.
Volunteering your time to
others allows you to meet people
with common interests, stay
connected and make a difference
in the community. Volunteering
can also teach you valuable
job skills and prepare you for
college. Make sure to include
your volunteer experiences with
your application when applying
for jobs or college entrance.

FORT A.P. HILL, Va. – On
one of the hottest, most humid
days of the year, Soldiers
with Alpha Company, 742nd
Military Intelligence Battalion,
704th Military Intelligence
Brigade, loaded onto a bus
and headed to Fort A.P. Hill,
Va. July 18, to put their land
navigation skills to the test.
Though it was a two-hour bus
trip, Capt. Jessamyn Liu, the
commander of A. Co., explained
that she planned the all-day
event for a good reason.
“We chose to travel outside of
the local area for this training
because A.P. Hill has more
challenging course with terrain
features that Soldiers can
identify on a map,” she said.
Soldiers receive land navigation
training throughout their Army
careers to teach them to navigate
from one point to another
using basic tools such as maps,
compasses and protractors. This
includes map reading techniques
to identify terrain features such
as hills and streams. Even with
today’s technology, Soldiers need
fundamental skills to rely on
in case of technology failure.
Loaded with plenty of water,
bug spray, gloves and eye
protection, approximately 30
Soldiers arrived at the land nav.
site and split into teams of two to
begin the course. They received
their maps, protractors and
compasses and were given three
hours to find four points on their
maps. Cadre members waited
at points throughout the course
with additional cold water and to
ensure the safety of the teams.
The training was the
culminating event after several
weeks of refreshing Soldiers
on land navigation skills. The
company began with classroom
training about map reading and
using a protactor and compass,
followed by urban land navigation
training conducted at Fort Meade.
“The only way you can have
confidence in the skills you
learn is to put them to use,”
Liu said. “We can teach things
in a classroom but if you don’t
challenge that knowledge in real-
life scenarios, you will lose it.”
1st Sgt. Christopher Bell,
the company’s first sergeant,
noted that the event was
more challenging than the
typical weekly training
that Soldiers receive.
“The terrain and the heat really
added more of a challenge to
the physical aspect of today’s
land nav. training,” he said.
“But the Soldiers did a great
job. It was a great opportunity
to get out of their offices and
away from our typical training
areas that we know so well.”

Why Resilience
and Why Now?
Why do we need resilience
training? With the never-ending
amount of quarterly and yearly
training we are required to do
as Soldiers in the Army, it seems
as though a new type of training
pops up every week and we
scramble at the last minute to
get it all done. Often times we
wonder “what’s the point?” How
often do we attend training that
we consider “life altering”?
Back in 2009 while stationed
at Goodfellow Airforce Base
for training, I went through a
series of major life events. I went
through a divorce, I became a
single parent to my 2-year-old
daughter and I got put on orders
to Hawaii. All of these events
happened in rapid succession
and before could even blink I
was on an island in the middle
of the Pacific Ocean with a little
person and no family or support.
In the Army, we have all faced
those periods of high OPTEMPO
where you don’t really have
time to think about the situation
you’re in, you just react, and that
is exactly what I did. Once I got
settled, got my family care plan in
place and started my new job, life
started to slow down and my new
life slapped me in the face, HARD!
I was overcome with fear and
despair, how would I ever have
a normal life? Would I ever be
able to move on or meet someone
new? I began to spiral downward,
my moods controlled my actions
and they were not good.

As much as I like to think my
leadership abilities didn’t suffer
and I maintained a cool and
collected attitude and demeanor,
my Soldiers at the time would
probably beg to differ. One day,
shortly before I deployed to Iraq
in 2010, one of my Soldiers came
up and asked me I was okay. He
informed me that he and all of
my squad members were starting
to think I was a maniac. The next
day I went to behavioral health.
A zombie, that is how I would
describe myself after being
put through endless amounts
of depression medication and
therapy sessions that were
never ending. “Don’t think
about this, don’t say that, try
to do this, look at it this way,”
they told me. I was still sad, I
still felt hopeless at times.
I got to 704th Military
Intelligence Brigade in April
2012 and the transition to a new
environment, along with being
co-located with my ex-wife,
afforded me a chance to start
fresh. In December of that year
I was enrolled in the MRT Level
I course at Fort Belvoir and my
first thoughts were “great, more
Army training to give to Soldiers
who are tired of Army training”. I
could not have been more wrong.
The class was two weeks long
and it changed everything.
“You’re so dramatic!” That was
the common response to those
I shared my experience with,
“You are doing what everyone
else does after something like
this and after a few weeks you’re
going to forget everything and
go back to your old ways!”
Since the class I’ve trained
more than 50 Resilience Training
Assistants and in most cases the
reactions are the same as mine.
The Comprehensive Soldier and
Family Fitness Program (CSF2)
teaches Soldiers how to deal
with situations in life much like
the ones I was going through
several years ago. It’s not just
about telling someone to look at
something a different way, the
program helps you to understand
why you feel the way you do and
how you react to events. It helps
you to understand the cause of
problems and how to effectively

deal with them. Probably most importantly, it
helps you build stronger relationships at work
and with friends, family and even strangers.
The program was developed as part of the
solution set to suicide prevention, it is NOT suicide
prevention training. CSF2 development was led
by retired Brig. Gen. Rhonda Cornum who was
an Army flight surgeon that became a prisoner of
war during the first Gulf War. Cornum was on a
Black Hawk helicopter when she was shot down
during a rescue mission. In her book “She Went
to War”, she described waking up being pinned
to the ground by wreckage, she was held captive
for 8 days and was rescued with two broken
arms, a broken finger, a gunshot wound to the
back and other injuries related to sexual assault
and abuse she faced at the hand of her captors.
Despite the horrors of her captivity, Cornum
never stopped being optimistic. She directly
relates her optimism to her recovery and ability
to thrive in the years following. In 2008 she
met with positive psychology experts from the
University of Pennsylvania and from there the
CSF2 Program was born. 30 years of scientific study
on cognitive science was used in the development
of the program and the results are proven.
It’s okay for Soldiers to be skeptical and doubt the
usefulness of CSF2 because over the next fiscal year,
they will have 24 hours of training to decide if it
works or not. Do research and I encourage everyone
to be open-minded, talk to someone who has been
to one of the Brigade Resilience Training Assistant’s
Course and try “Hunting the Good Stuff”!

Soldier wins
Aurora, CO
military
person of the
year award
Sgt. Amy Christopherson
704th MI Bde. Public Affairs
BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE,
Colo. – In a city known for its
large Air Force base, some may be
surprised to learn that a Soldier
was recognized as military
person of the year by the Aurora,
Colo. Chamber of Commerce.
But Soldiers with the 743rd
Military Intelligence Battalion,
704th Military Intelligence
Brigade, weren’t surprised
when Sgt. Jordan Nwajei, an
analyst for the battalion’s Bravo
Company, was recognized
Nwajei, who won the brigade
noncommissioned officer of
the year competition through
videoteleconference while the
rest of the brigade competed from
Maryland, is known as one of
the battalion’s strongest NCOs,
both physically and mentally.
1st Sgt. Christopher Pack,
the first sergeant of Bravo
Co., 743rd MI Bn., said Nwajei
was nominated because of
his performance during the
battalion and brigade boards.
“I was surprised to win NCO
of the year for the brigade,”
he said. “I was at a little bit
of a disadvantage during the
ruckmarch because there was still
snow on the ground here in April
and the elevation makes strenuous
activities more difficult.”
Nwajei said he wasn’t even
aware of the nomination for the
Aurora Armed Forces Recognition
award, but he was “ecstatic to hear
that a Soldier won this award”.
Pack describes Nwajei as a
21. The VOICE │ 21
charismatic and outgoing Soldier.
“He has the ability to rally other
NCOs to get things done,” he said.
“He’s also a strong trainer who
is able to get Soldiers to learn in
a quick and efficient manner.”
Pack said Nwajei stands out
to him because he understands
and completes tasks with
minimal guidance.
“I came in to the unit after [the
boards and award nomination]
had already happened, and as a
first sergeant when you have a
soldier of this caliber, you know
something is going right.”

FORT MEADE, Md. – After a
week of fighting it out in sports
tournaments, Soldiers of the 704th
Military Intelligence Brigade,
704th Military Intelligence
Battalion, invited their Family
members to join them in an
organizational day at Burba
Lake August 9, where the
Commander’s Cup trophy was
awarded to the winning battalion.
In the week leading up
to Org. Day, teams from
Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 741st MI Battalion
and 742nd MI Bn., competed in
softball, volleyball, basketball,
football and other sports.
The day began with a brigade
formation, then Soldiers and
Family members made their way
over to cheer on a tug-of-war
contest. Through the day, teams
finished up the football, volleyball
and softball tournaments. The
leader’s relay race was the final
event of the day, as leaders
raced around Burba Lake then
competed in an egg race and
plotting points on a map.
“It was a good day of
competition, closing out a great
week of competition,” said Col.
Anthony Hale, commander
of the 704th MI Bde. “All the
competing builds esprit de corps
and camaraderie, which helps
us build a more resilient force.”
After the 741st MI Bn. placed
first in the track meet, football,
soccer, softball and volleyball,
Hale awarded the battalion
with the Commander’s Cup.
For the young Family
members, there was a bounce
house and inflatable slide as
well as face painting, coloring
and children’s games. The
dunk tank was popular, with
Soldier volunteers waiting to
be sunk into the tank of water
when someone hit the target.
The event, which was hosted by
741st MI Bn., featured a roasted
pig and hot dogs and hamburgers
with potato salad for lunch.
“It was a great cookout,”
Hale said. “And we had
a very nice turnout from
spouses and children.”
Command Sgt. Maj. Mark
Thornton, the brigade’s command
sergeant major, said Org Days
are an important tradition in
the Army, not only to reinforce
camaraderie within the unit.
“It’s important for the brigade
to provide opportunities to
get the Families involved,”
Thornton said. “Families are an
integral part of everything we
do; for most of us they’re the
reason we do what we do.”
