Bambi Bucket training came at the right time for
pilots of the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry
Division. The training, completed in April, prepared
them for the firefighting they are now doing.
Two CH-47 Chinooks and two UH-60 Black
Hawks are providing fire drops on the Black Forest Fire
utilizing the Bambi Bucket, a specialized bucket that
carries up to 2,000 gallons of water, suspended on a
cable carried by a helicopter for aerial firefighting.
When the helicopter is in position, the crew opens the
release valve to battle the fire below.
“Due to our training, we (are) able to react
quicker than most agencies and our helicopters can
get into areas that most aircraft cannot,” Chief
Warrant Officer 4 James Dowdy, battalion
standardization officer and senior CH-47 Chinook
pilot, 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 4th
Aviation Regiment, 4th CAB, 4th Inf. Div., said
after the training in April.
In addition to the helicopters, a convoy departed
Fort Carson headed to Black Forest Wednesday
morning with four D7 bulldozers, maintenance
support and fuel personnel from the 52nd Engineer
Battalion to assist with firebreak efforts.
The Fort Carson Fire Department also sent nine
personnel, two wildland fire engines, a water tender
and an incident command vehicle.
The Joint Task Fort Carson support comes as a
result of the Department of Defense’s immediate

I joined the Army Oct. 17, 1996,
upon completing one semester at
Hunter College in New York City.
I aspired to do something greater
in life, and decided that the Army
could provide that for me.
Serving my country in this
capacity is unexplainable. Being
able to protect the American citizens’
freedom is so rewarding. I am a
member of an elite organization that
will protect and serve its citizens
forever; it means the world to me.
I continue to serve in the Army
because I love the challenges, the
people and the organization as a
whole. There are so many oppor-
tunities to excel in the Army, and
so many opportunities to grow.
I’ve been able to obtain my mas-
ter’s degree while on active duty
and will obtain my information
technology certifications as well.
As a member of the 3rd Bn.,
61st Cav. Reg., I remain Iron
Horse Strong by participating
in the awesome leadership
development sessions conducted
in the unit, as well as maintaining
a high level of physical fitness
every day. Remaining resilient
is a way of life.

Today we celebrate our Army’s birthday, 238 years
after the U.S. Congress created the Continental American
Army June 14, 1775. Our Army was founded a year before
the Declaration of Independence and two years before the
“Stars and Stripes” became our national emblem. Over
the ensuing two centuries, our Army has established itself
as the best trained, best equipped and best led fighting
force the world has ever known, defending our Constitution
and ensuring our freedom and liberty.
The Army birthday is our opportunity to commemorate
the bravery, honor and sacrifice of those who went
before us. Marked by a drum roll of engagements like
Yorktown, Appomattox, the Meuse-Argonne, D-Day,
Pork Chop Hill, the Central Highlands, Desert Storm,
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn,
just to name a few, the Army colors are adorned with
183 streamers — campaigns that American Soldiers
sweated for, bled for and died for.
The units that comprise Joint Task Force Carson today
have played an integral role in our Army’s glorious history.
Going forward, the men and women of the Mountain
Post will continue to be called upon to keep the gates of
freedom open. I salute all of you and our Families for
who you are, what you represent and your tremendous
service, dedication and many sacrifices.
As we celebrate our Army’s birthday, it is also appropriate
that we take pause to pay tribute to those who gave their
last full measure of devotion to a grateful nation. It is
because of their sacrifices and that of their Families that
we enjoy freedom and our
American way of life. Our
fallen and their loved
ones will never be forgotten.
We also owe a debt of
gratitude to our veterans
who served under the
colors of this great
country. They forged
the way before us and
set a shining example of
courage, commitment
and compassion. Once a
Soldier, always a Soldier.
To our magnificent partners and friends in the
Pikes Peak region, thank you for your unwavering and
outstanding support to the men, women and children of
Fort Carson. The sign entering the post says it all —
“Best Hometown in the Army” and you make it that
way. For the last 71 years, the communities of the Front
Range have been an indispensable part of our Army
Family. We sincerely appreciate your care, kindness and
partnership as we commemorate our Army birthday.
Since 1775, the U.S. Army has fought and won
our nation’s wars, successfully defending freedom
around the globe. Our Soldiers today have willingly
raised their right hand to “support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.” We are dedicated to living the
Army Values and the Warrior Ethos. We are “Iron
Horse Strong” and I am honored to serve in your
ranks. Happy 238th birthday!

Sexualassault,harassmentcannotbetoleratedStory and photo by Lisa Ferdinando
Army News Service
WASHINGTON — Sexual assault and harassment
are serious problems theArmy is vigorously addressing,
the chief of staff of the Army said June 4.
Gen. Raymond T. Odierno testified before the
Senate Armed Services Committee, along with
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, service
chiefs from the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard, and six judge advocate generals.
“These crimes violate everything our Army
stands for and they simply cannot be tolerated,”
Odierno told senators, as part of an oversight hearing
on sexual assault and harassment in the services.
“As chief of staff of the Army, and as a parent of
two sons and a daughter, the crimes of sexual assault
and harassment cut to the core of what I care most
about, the health and welfare of America’s sons and
daughters,” he said.
Odierno said the Army is focused on eliminating
the problem.
“Two weeks ago I told my commanders that
combating sexual assault and sexual harassment
within the ranks is our No. 1 priority,” Odierno said.
“I said that because as chief, my mission is to train
and prepare our Soldiers for war.
“These crimes cut to the heart of the Army’s
readiness for war,” he said. “They destroy the fabric
of our force, Soldier and unit morale.
“We will fix this problem,” he pledged.
Odierno said the Army needs
to do more, and laid out five
areas of specific concern:
✦ preventing potential offenders
from committing sexual crimes
✦ investigating and taking
appropriate action with every
allegation of sexual assault
and harassment
✦ creating a climate where an
individual is not afraid of
retaliation or stigma for
reporting a crime
✦ ensuring individuals, units,
organizations, and specifically
commanders and leaders under-
stand their responsibilities
✦ ensuring the chain of command
is at the center of any solution
to combat sexual assault and
harassment, and that it is also
fully engaged
“We can and will do better,” he told the senators.
“We must take deliberate steps to change the environ-
ment. We must restore our people’s confidence by
improving our system of accountability.”
Odierno said the military justice system was
designed to give commanders the tools to reinforce
good order by prosecuting misconduct with a variety
of judicial and nonjudicial punishments. He said
commanders are able to prosecute crimes and punish
minor infractions that contribute to discipline problems.
Odierno also said his experience leads him to
believe that the majority of the problems are the
failure of some commanders and leaders to correctly
administer military justice in compliance with the
Uniform Code of Military Justice and current
Department of Defense policies.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno testifies to Congress, June 4, that
the Army must do more to combat sexual assault and sexual harassment.
See Odierno on Page 4

“We must take a hard look at our
system, from start to finish, to ensure that
commanders and judge advocates are
subject to appropriate checks and balances,
all while protecting the interests of the
victim and the due process rights of
accused Soldiers,” he said.
Odierno said that in the last four years,
57 officers have been relieved of command.
About half of those dismissals were related
to issues with the command climate those
officers created. Some had been deemed
“toxic leaders.” Others were relieved
because they had failed to create a
command climate where it was clear that
sexual assault and sexual harassment
would not be tolerated.
“It is up to every one of us, civilian,
Soldier, general officer to private, to solve
this problem within our ranks,” Odierno said.
Over the last 12 years, the Army has
demonstrated “exceptional confidence,
courage and resiliency in adapting the
force to the demands of war,” Odierno said.
The Army will tackle and fix the
problem of sexual assault and harassment
with the “same resolve.”
As part of ongoing efforts, including in
its Sexual Harassment/Assault Response
and Prevention program, the Army has
focused efforts intensely on preventing
sexual assault and harassment, educating
Soldiers, responding to reports of assault
and harassment and providing victims with
support and resources.

Domestic violence is a crime and is not a normal or accepted
part of military life. It is contrary to the Army values and good
order and discipline. It is the responsibility of every Soldier to
help prevent violence in the homes of our fellow Iron Horse warriors.
¶ Domestic violence can include physical or sexual violence, threats of physical
or sexual abuse, psychological or emotional abuse, and stalking.
¶ Look for indicators of domestic violence aggressors such as: history of
past battering, threats of violence, breaking objects or punching walls,
unreasonable jealousy, controlling behavior, quick involvement in the
relationship, blaming others for problems, cruelty to children and animals,
abrupt mood changes, and alcohol or drug abuse.
¶ The stress of deployments and reintegration does not excuse, explain or
justify violence towards loved ones. The chain of command is committed to
helping Families address domestic violence, whether servicemembers are
the victims or the aggressors.
¶ Regulations require all Department of Defense personnel to report any suspicion
of Family violence to Family Advocacy, 526-4590, no matter how small.
¶ The 1996 Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 makes
it unlawful for anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor of
domestic violence to possess firearms. The law applies to military
personnel whether convicted on or off post.
Call 526-4590 for related classes through Army Community Service.

response authority and a memorandum of agreement between El Paso
County and the post.
In La Veta, south of Colorado Springs, Fort Carson firefighters
from the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site Fire Station joined
firefighting efforts at the request of civilian agencies. That
assistance came through a mutual aid agreement between the
post and surrounding communities along the Front Range.
The fire truck with water tender and four personnel were pulled
back to PCMS after the fire west of Walsenburg was contained
Wednesday morning.
Joint Task Force Carson remains prepared to assist firefighting
efforts and provide support to the Colorado Springs community to
the fullest extent possible, according to post officials.

Staff Sgt. Andrew Porch
2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
FORT IRWIN, Calif. — From
loading vehicles and equipment by
train and semi-trailer, to packing
Soldiers on a bus, it takes multiple
moving parts to move a brigade
element across country.
From May 29 through June 8,
the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat
Team, 4th Infantry Division, trans-
ported more than 3,900 Soldiers and
shipped approximately 700 pieces of
equipment to Fort Irwin, Calif., in
preparation for a monthlong field
training exercise.
The initial week at Fort Irwin is
solely for preparing the brigade to
conduct combat operations and show
they are battle ready, said Capt.
Steven Morse, brigade tactical battle
captain, 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div.
The biggest thing for Soldiers is
learning to coordinate higher than
battalion, where they are used to
working, he said
“This is very much a brigade
operation; it gives many of them a
look at the big picture.”
Once Soldiers hit the ground, they went right
to work.
“We are building combat power,” said Morse.
“We are in the initial stages of (reception, staging,
onward movement and integration), and we are trying
to get ahead of the ballgame as much as possible.”
As Soldiers arrive, the main focus is receiving
equipment, installing simulated battlefield
weapons — called the multiple integrated laser
engagement system — and ensuring everything is
working properly.
Along with shipping its own
equipment, the brigade will also
draw vehicles from Fort Irwin
personnel.
“We have about two days to
(inspect) the vehicles before we sign
for them,” said Sgt. 1st Class Eric
Muller, Bradley fighting vehicle
system repairer, Forward Support
Company, 1st Squadron, 10th
Cavalry Regiment, 2nd ABCT.
Soldiers inspecting the equip-
ment know it is important to check
that everything is working properly.
“If (Soldiers) get bad equipment,
or something is wrong with it,
anything can happen out there in the
‘box,’” said Muller. “The terrain is
crazy, and making sure the vehicles
are safe is key.”
Brigade leadership wanted to
replicate what Soldiers might go
through during a movement to a
combat theater of operations.
Staff Sgt. Matthew Bowsher, cannon crew member, Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 16th Field Artillery
Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, ground guides an M992
field artillery ammunition supply vehicle during rail load operations on Fort Carson, May 29,
ahead of a 30-day field training exercise at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif.

Cooks contend for field kitchen awardStory and photo by
Sgt. Jonathan C. Thibault
4th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs
Office, 4th Infantry Division
Motivation, dedication and desire were the fuels that
fed the fire the cooks used to prepare an exceptional
meal, during an evaluation for the U.S. Army Forces
Command Philip A. Connelly Active Army Field
Kitchen Competition on Fort Carson, June 4.
Fourteen cooks from Company E, 2nd General
Support Aviation Battalion, 4th Aviation Regiment,
4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division,
competed for the Connelly.
Despite having only three weeks to prepare
for the competition, instead of the usual few
months, the cooks volunteered to compete for the
Connelly award.
“Mentally, we had to be prepared for this
competition, because we had a short amount of
time to get everything ready,” said Sgt. Jarrell
Fielder, food service noncommissioned officer,
Company E, 2nd GSAB.
The cooks worked many hard, long hours to set
up the site for the Connelly.
“I get up at 2:30 a.m. to get ready for work,” said
Pfc. Maurice McMullen, food service specialist,
Company E, 2nd GSAB. “We start work at 4 a.m.,
and stop working as late as 9 p.m. On average, we
worked 16 to 19 hours a day to prepare for this.”
Although the days were long and fast paced, it
helped to build their confidence in the future.
“I am pretty impressed with what we have
accomplished in that amount of time. We have done a
good job,” said Pfc. Rosa Schick, food service
specialist, Company E, 2nd GSAB.
The cooks found
innovative ways to over-
come the short amount
of time and limited
resources, to complete
their mission and be
able to compete.
“Our leadership
figured out the budgeting
and acquired the equip-
ment that we needed
to compete,” said
McMullen. “They were
determined to be con-
tenders in this year’s
competition.”
The first-time com-
petitors enhanced their
skills and knowledge
throughout the course
of the competition.
“The cooks get an
extreme amount of training and knowledge,” said
Fielder. “This is McMullen and Schick’s first time
being trained on this equipment and competing on
this level. I am very impressed with how well
they are doing and how quick they soaked up
the knowledge.”
Winning the Connelly would earn great acco-
lades for the 4th CAB cooks and an enormous
sense of accomplishment.
“Since we are a new unit, this would show
that we have come a long way in a short amount of
time,” said Schick. “It means a lot to me, because
most of the points for the competition come from
the field kitchen that McMullen and I worked on.
This means I (would) have played a large role in
winning this competition.”
The winners of the FORSCOM competition
will be announced in August. The top three teams
will move on to the Army-level Competition.

Spur Ride week enables team buildingStory and photos by Spc. Robert Holland
3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team Public
Cavalry Soldiers and their Families participated
in back-to-back training events to foster team
building, and to give the spouses and children a
better understanding of what cavalry scouts do on
a daily basis.
Soldiers from 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry
Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, participated in a three-day
rigorous leader certification program, also known
as a Spur Ride, May 21-23, while the Family event
took place June 1.
Within the cavalry world, earning the privilege
to wear spurs is an important rite of passage, and
one of the highest honors a cavalry scout can earn,
said Command Sgt. Maj. Edwin A. Rivera, senior
enlisted adviser, 4th Sqdn., 10th Cav. Reg. Many
consider it one of the crowning achievements of
their military career.
“The Spur Ride is a mentally and physically
demanding event that challenges Soldiers to push
themselves in a tactical environment,” said Lt.
Col. Stephen C. Marr, commander, 4th Sdn., 10th
Cav. Reg. “Upon successfully completing the Spur
Ride, our Soldier leaders have demonstrated to
everyone that they have the skills, endurance and
fortitude to lead.”
According to Rivera, developing leadership
skills is just one of the reasons the unit conducts
a spur ride at least annually. He said the Soldier
spur ride and Family spur ride help build
teamwork and camaraderie, both within the
organization and the greater cavalry and Fort
Carson communities.
“The whole concept is teamwork,” Rivera said.
“In the Army, you do not do anything by yourself;
it is always a whole team effort.”
Both Marr and Rivera said the spur ride events
offer a greater purpose than just testing Soldiers’
leadership skills.
“Spurs symbolize all of the qualities of
professional excellence that all cavalry troopers
hold in common— esprit de corps, tactical and
technical expertise, common sense, judgment and the
ability to operate independently, with minimal
guidance,” Marr said.
Lexie Coppinger, wife of Spc. Anthony
Coppinger, cavalry scout, Troop C, 4th Sqdn.,
10th Cav. Reg., and her daughter arrived to Fort
Carson and the 3rd ABCT right before the spur
ride events kicked off. New to the unit, the couple
said they did not know anyone, and even though
her husband had already earned his spurs and
been inducted into the Order of the Spur, they
jumped at the opportunity to be involved in the
spur ride week activities.
“Both my husband and I think it is really nice
to bring the entire team — Soldier and Family —
together,” Lexie Coppinger said. “We just moved
here, and the spur ride allowed my husband
to interact and get to know the guys he works
with better.”
She said her husband was not the only one
to benefit.
“For me, the Family spur ride event gave me the
incredible opportunity to meet other Families within
the unit and start building a bond with them,” Lexie
Coppinger said. “Just knowing others within
the unit, and being given the opportunity to build
new friendships, can help build morale, not just
for the Soldiers, but the Families, too.”
Soldiers from 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment,
3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry
Division — participating in a three-day rigorous
leader certification program known as a spur ride —
test their skills on the firing range, May 21.
Family members of Soldiers in the 4th Squadron,
10th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade
Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, participate
in a Family spur ride event, June 1. The event
mimicked the same type of events the 4th Sqdn.,
10th Cav., Soldiers participated in May 21-23.
“In the Army, you
do not do anything
by yourself; it is
always a whole
team effort.”

‘Raiders’ take cover during indirect fire drillStory and photo by
Spc. Andrew Ingram
1st Armored Brigade Combat
Team Public Affairs Office,
4th Infantry Division
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait —
When a blaring siren pierced the
Kuwaiti air, “Raider” Brigade Soldiers
donned their M40 Protective Masks
and filled the bunkers scattered across
Camp Buehring’s sandy surface.
“Incoming, incoming, incoming,”
a disembodied voice bellowed, as the
1st Armored Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division, Soldiers packed
into the shelters, testing the seals of
their masks.
Raiders reaffirmed their chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear and
high-yield explosive attack response
skills, and practiced the proper
procedures for finding cover during an
artillery mortar or rocket attack, during
an indirect fire drill, June 5.
“As soon as we heard the siren, we
hit the bunkers,” said Sgt. Brandon
Sweetman, armor crewman, Company
D, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry
Regiment, 1st ABCT. “It is very
important to have systems in place
for situations like this.”
In the days leading up to the event,
leaders throughout the brigade drilled
their Soldiers on proper pro-mask and
bunker procedures.
“Soldiers who have never
come under fire before cannot
understand what it is like,” said
Sweetman, who experienced indi-
rect fire attacks during previous
deployments. “If we keep training
over and over, muscle memory
and instinct will kick in, and
could save their lives during a
real world situation.”
Capt. Andrew Lowe, air
defense officer, 1st ABCT, and
brigade leaders observed the
exercise, and disseminated casualty
cards that directed Soldiers to
assume the role of wounded in
need of aid from their comrades.
“We conduct these battle drills
to ensure the Soldiers of the Raider
Brigade are ready for anything,”
said Lowe. “Drills like this
refresh our basic skills. Whether
we are here in Kuwait, back at Fort
Carson or deployed to Afghanistan,
we need to continually train to
maintain these skills.”

Training to save livesBy Sgt. William Smith
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office
Fourteen Joint Task Force Carson leaders gained
the knowledge to be able to better help their Soldiers
through tough times, June 5-6.
The Soldiers attended the two-day Applied
Suicide Intervention Skills Training; an intensive,
interactive and practice-dominated course designed
to help people recognize and review risk, and
intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide,
according to the ASIST website.
“The ASIST program helps give first-line super-
visors the tools and in-depth training they need to
help Soldiers who may be at risk for suicide,” said
Chap. (Capt.) Ben Clark, instructor, 1st Battalion,
68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat
Team, 4th Infantry Division.
“By training first-line supervisors, it provides a
more likely person for a Soldier dealing with
thoughts of suicide to talk to, because they are more
apt to talk to someone who has been through similar
experiences, that they know and respect,” Clark said.
Sgt. Shawn Belk left the training confident of the
skills he learned.
“This training is going to help me be able to give
assistance to those who need it; not just Soldiers, but
to anyone,” said the petroleum supply specialist with
Company A, 404th General Support Aviation
Battalion, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry
Division. “As a Soldier, I signed up to help protect my
country, so if I come across anyone in need of help, I
will be able to fall back on this training and help them
as much as I can.”
Sgt. 1st Class Cedric Durr said the training prepared
him to guide his Soldiers through the steps of recovery.
“This training will help as far as identifying
warning signs and tendencies in those high-risk
Soldiers,” said the platoon sergeant with
Company B, 404th GSAB, 4th CAB. “I now know
how to get Soldiers the help that they need. I will
be able to provide them with the counseling
and guidance (on) how to recover from what they
struggle with.”
Belk said the training has made him a
more complete leader.
“This training should not be thought of as a
check the box; it is real life training,” Belk said.
“Hopefully I will never need to utilize it, but I will
be ready if the need or occasion arises.”
Durr said people can always be more prepared.
“As much as we think we know how to handle
a situation involving suicide, there is still something
that you can learn,” he said.

“This is a fairly accurate represen-
tation of what an actual deployment
RSOI is like,” said Morse.
Most importantly, leaders with
little or no experience will have the
chance to see how an operation of
this magnitude works.
“We have a lot of young leaders, to
include myself; a lot of guys who this
is the first time doing their jobs,” said
Morse. “There is a lot of new staff
coming in right now, so this is our dry
run at the deployment.”
Setting aside a week for integration
also allows Soldier the proper time
to adjust.
“Acclimatizing and familiarizing
themselves with their equipment, and
how the unit works, is important in
preparing Soldiers for future opera-
tions,” said Muller.
The initial week at NTC should
help build the team and assist in the suc-
cess of the mission as Soldiers prepare
for combat operations later this month.
“I think any shared hardship
brings a team together and this is
definitely a shared hardship,” said
Morse. “This is a unique opportunity,
as a brigade, to build combat power
and fight together.”

Competition fostered new friendships, as about 450
senior leaders gathered for the Warhorse Challenge II, a
double-elimination ultimate football tournament, at
Memorial Park in Colorado Springs, May 22.
The tournament pitted teams comprised of Soldiers
from every “Warhorse” battalion against each other.
“Meet somebody new today,” said Col. Omar J.
Jones IV, commander, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat
Team, 4th Infantry Division. “The teams are mixed up
on purpose. Meet somebody else because you are going
to see them in the dust bowl in about two weeks.”
The brigade command team wanted to set aside
time for senior leadership to get a break.
“Have fun,” said Jones. “It’s a rare opportunity,
and we have been busy for a long time. Arguably, we
have had someone in the field since back in
November, all the way until two or three weeks ago.”
Leaders took the opportunity to gain new
resources and increase their ability to network.
“I want to take advantage of meeting people that
I normally wouldn’t meet,” said Sgt. 1st Class

clear,” most Soldiers exited the
bunkers to resume their daily tasks,
but for the medical Soldiers of
Company C, 4th Brigade Support
Battalion, 1st ABCT, the exercise
had only just begun.
Within minutes of the all clear,
simulated casualties began to
arrive at the brigade aid station,
suffering from fictitious trauma,
ranging from chest wounds to post
traumatic stress disorder.
“Our expectations were to
effectively treat patients as they
came in, and we accomplished that
very well,” said Spc. Nicklaus Lego,
health care specialist, Company C,
4th Brigade Support Battalion, 1st
ABCT. “The whole medical side of
the operation went smoothly.”
Lego said incorporating the
“Charlie Med” Soldiers into the exer-
cise lent the operation an air of
realism, and helped the medical
troops maintain their perishable skills.
“Medical skills have a tendency
to be lost if they are not used con-
tinually,” he said. “Even stepping
out of the right mindset for a few
minutes can cost a patient’s life.”
Soldiers of the Raider Brigade
will continue training and enhancing
their warrior skills throughout their
deployment to Kuwait.
“I think the event was a success,”
Lowe said. “Soldiers knew and
followed the proper procedures for an
indirect fire attack in a possible NBC
environment. The lessons we learned
during this exercise will help us make
our next training event even better.”

Troop, 2nd Special Troops Battalion, 2nd ABCT. “Meeting other senior leaders
helps build a rapport, which makes it easier to do my job.”
Participants met new people and spent time away from their regular workplace.
“We are working on cohesion, building esprit de corps, and just having a good
time,” said Sgt. 1st Class Terris Kolmorgan, assistant brigade operations noncommis-
sioned officer, Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 2nd STB. “It detaches us
from the work environment and gets us out here to interact on a social basis.”
Jones encouraged Soldiers not to worry about what missions had to be
accomplished.
“The staff sergeants have got it,” said Jones. “They have got the prep for the
weekend; they have got the rail load; they have got the things that have got to
happen today.”
As the day came to an end, leaders said how much they enjoyed the
team-building event.
“It was a good time,” said Sgt. 1st Class Spencer Polwort, brigade fire
direction noncommissioned officer, HHT, 2nd STB. “Everyone had a great
time, great camaraderie. It was a chance to get out, and I met a lot of new
people I wouldn’t normally meet. Another good Warhorse Challenge, the
second one so far, and probably the best one so far.”

Weeds whacked during garden eventStory and photos by Andrea Stone
Mountaineer staff
More than 15 children battled weeds that
were nearly as tall as they were to start work in
the Grow with Me Garden outside Balfour Beatty
Communities’ office June 7.
Their job was to pull as many weeds out of
the garden boxes as possible.
“Right now, there are no plants in this garden
that you can’t pull,” said Kris Spiller, LifeWorks
coordinator for BBC. “Pull anything that’s green,
or red, orange, yellow, anything.”
The program, which is in its second year, has
proven popular, with 98 children signing up this
year. After they sign up and receive a log book, they
can work in the garden whenever they’re able.
When the produce is harvested, it will be split
between participants based on how much time
they worked.
Some of the children weren’t too eager to
weed the beds.
“I’m waiting till we get to plant stuff, not pull
stuff,” said Cash Mercer, 9.
“I just want to plant the seeds,” Samantha
Like, 5, agreed.
“I like pulling out the weeds because me, my
little brother and my mom all pulled out an entire
box, and now we’re working on another one,”
said Chloe Lock, 8.
Weeding isn’t the only thing they’ll learn over
the summer. There will also be hands-on lessons in
composting, planting, working the soil and harvesting.
June 20 they will learn about how bugs can be
beneficial for gardens, complete with a bug collection.
Ladybugs in the garden created moments
of excitement, as did the discovery of a small
strawberry growing from a plant from last
year’s garden.
As she pointed the strawberry out to the
children, Spiller explained the process — first
a seed, then a green plant, a flower, a green
strawberry and a red strawberry.
“I think a lot of people don’t understand their
food doesn’t come out of a plastic box. We started
this so they could see where their food comes
from,” Spiller said.
Soon the beds will be clear of weeds and ready
for planting some of the 300 packets of seeds donated
by Burpee. They plan to grow tomatoes, cucumbers,
zucchini, sunflowers, watermelons, peas and beans.
The program, which will be ongoing through
the summer, is open to children 3 to 17 who live
in Fort Carson Family Housing.
The garden is irrigated, but is in compliance
with post watering restrictions, Spiller said.

broader responsibilities, improve organizational
communication, and develop well-rounded
personnel. Applications can be obtained by
contacting your organization’s training coordinator
or the Workforce Development Program.

Editor’s note: Information for this
story was obtained from the 4th Infantry
Division Museum and the U.S. Army
website, http://www.armymil/d-day/.
A special exhibit in the 4th Infantry
Division Museum marks the 69th
anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. The
museum received artifacts and information
about a Soldier, Pvt. John M. Schultheiss, a
member of the 8th Infantry Regiment, 4th
Infantry Division, who was in the third wave
of the invasions on the heavily fortified
beaches of Normandy, France, on that day.
According to “Fort Carson A Tradition
of Victory,” the 4th Division was the initial
assault division in the VII Corps plan.
By dawn, 18,000 paratroopers were on
the ground when the land invasion started
at 6:30 a.m. The 4th Inf. Div. was involved
in the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of
beaches, heavily fortified by Nazi forces.
The 4th Inf. Div. landed at Utah Beach.
According to the U.S. Army’s website,
the D-Day invasion included 160,000 Allied
troops —13 U.S. Army infantry divisions,
four armored divisions and two airborne
divisions — more than 4,000 ships and
13,000 aircraft. By day’s end June 6, the
Allies gained a foothold in Normandy.
The D-Day cost was high — more than
9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded,
but after the invasion, more than
100,000 Soldiers began the march
across Europe to defeat Hitler.
Thirty-three days later,
Schultheiss was shot by a German
sniper while engaged in the Battle
of the Bulge in Belgium. The
helmet he was wearing is displayed
in the exhibit, which shows the
bullet’s entrance and exit.
Schultheiss recovered from
his injury and lived to fight
another day.
Several historic documents
are displayed in the exhibit,
including a letter from Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe
and commanding general
of all U.S. forces in the
European Theater of
Operations. The letter was
distributed to the invasion
forces. War Department
telegrams sent to Schultheiss’
parents when he was
wounded are displayed, as
is a photo of 4th Inf. Div.
Soldiers during the invasion.
Each participantin the D-Day
invasion receiveda copy of thisletter from
Gen. Dwight D.Eisenhower,
Supreme Alliedcommander inEurope and
commandinggeneral of allU.S. Forces in theEuropean Theaterof Operations.

Military shoppers who prefer the ease and
organization that an eReceipt provides can skip the
paper receipt and have documentation of their
transaction emailed to them when shopping the Fort
Carson Exchange.
Shoppers simply provide their email address and
phone number at checkout to sign up to receive eReceipts.
“Purchase receipts by email makes storing and
organizing much easier,” said Patricia Austin, Fort
Carson Exchange general manager. “An additional
benefit to eReceipts is that it helps reduce paper
consumption, which is better for the environment.”
Shoppers who select to receive an eReceipt from
Friday to July 13 will be entered into a drawing to
win their entire purchase. Each time the eReceipt
option is chosen, the shopper will be entered into the
contest. Ultimately, five customers will win.

By Sgt. William Smith
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs
Office
Soldiers with 1st Battalion, 68th
Armor Regiment, and 64th Brigade
Support Battalion rose above their
peers during Iron Horse Week sports
competitions to claim the Commander’s
Cup and bragging rights on post.
The two units combined for a clean
sweep for 3rd Armored Brigade Combat
Team, 4th Inf. Div., as the 1st Bn.,
68th Armor Reg., captured the large
unit crown while the 68th BSB took
home the small unit title.
Brig. Gen. Michael Bills,
deputy commanding general,
4th Infantry Division and
Fort Carson, was scheduled
to present the winning units
with the Commander’s Cup
Thursday at Founders Field.
Throughout Iron Horse
Week, June 3-7, the Joint
Task Force Carson community
gathered at Iron Horse Park
and various other locations
on post to cheer on partici-
pants, as they competed in
event after event to see
who would be victorious.
The five-day celebration
of Joint Task Force Carson pride
featured competitions and tournaments
including dodge ball, racquetball,
archery, basketball, bowling, boxing,
combatives, flag football, golf,
marksmanship, paintball, sand
volleyball, wall climb, softball, tug
of war and a 10-kilometer run.
“Overall, Iron Horse Week is a
great event, and the marksmanship
portion is great battle-focused training
for Soldiers,” said Staff Sgt. Glenn
Peterson, M4 carbine marksmanship
competitor, Company B, 1st Battalion,
66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored
Brigade Combat Team. “It is the most
realistic training that a Soldier can
get. Iron Horse Week is great for the
Soldiers; it helps to build units’ esprit
de corps and camaraderie across the
entire division.”
Iron Horse Week provided
participants the opportunity to
showcase their physical abilities while
representing their units.
“It was nice to be able to participate
in Iron Horse Week,” said Pfc. Ben
Thorsen, softball team member, 183rd
Maintenance Company, 43rd Sustainment
Brigade. “It was an honor to be able to
represent my unit. It helped to build
more camaraderie and esprit de corps
in my unit with people who I don’t
usually work with.”
Soldiers and Family members not
competing in the tournaments supported
them by cheering for their units or loved
ones during the week of competitions,
and cooking to keep them strong
throughout the week.
Thursday’s awards presentation was
set to include a cake-cutting ceremony in
celebration of the Army’s 238th birthday.
The Army has fought in every major
conflict the U.S. has been involved in —
the Revolutionary War, Civil War,
World War I, World War II, Korea,
Vietnam, Desert Storm, Operation
Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn, and
Operation Enduring Freedom.

Patients roll into world-class roomsBy Vincent Visuth
Health Facilities
Planning Agency
World class would be the
primary adjective that best
describes Fort Carson’s new
Inpatient Family Care Ward
that opened May 21 on the
fourth floor of Evans Army
Community Hospital.
Originally located on the
hospital’s fifth floor, the ward
maintained 28 beds in shared
rooms that did not provide
optimal patient care.
The newly-renovated
ward design is patient-centric,
providing accommodations
that rival top civilian hospitals
and hotels. The number of
beds remains at 28 with the
capabilities to expand to 32,
as necessary. The major
difference for the patients is
they now get their own room
with a private bathroom.
Amenities in each room
include a flat-screen TV for
all patients with cable access
and DVD player. The remote
control not only operates the
TV, but also the electronic blinds
and overhead lighting. Video
game systems are available.
The ward is outfitted
with four bariatric rooms that
provide facilities capable of
handling obese patients with
bariatric requirements, to
include oversize doorways.
To increase patient safety and
reduce staff injuries, patient
lifts are installed in all rooms,
which have the capability to
traverse the entire room as
well as enter the bathroom.
Patients’ Families are
welcome to remain with loved
ones throughout their stay
at Evans, as defined visiting
hours no longer exist. Couches
and recliners in the rooms can
be converted into sleeping
areas, which are far better than
the standard Army cots.
Additional features of the
new floor provide a respite room
for Families, as well as a play
room for younger inpatients.

A Father’s Day tribute
Veteran

Iron
Horse
Strong
By Staff Sgt. Wallace Bonner
4th Infantry Division Public
Affairs Office
Morgan Waterman’s daily routine
is defined by his son, the challenges
almost commonplace. On a good night,
his son sleeps straight through. On a
bad night, he’ll be up a couple of times.
His 16-month-old alarm clock
wakes him up around 8 or 9 a.m.
Next is feeding his son breakfast,
followed by cleaning up the vomit,
which happens after every meal.
Typically, he’ll have a couple of hours
before the next feeding/vomit cycle.
After that, it’s the appointment of
the day, at least three times a week.
They eat dinner, clean up the mess,
followed by bath time and bed, to
start the pattern all over again.
For some men, the challenge
of dealing with the host of medical
problems that come with taking
care of a premature child and his
associated medical problems would
be daunting, to say the least.
To Morgan Waterman, it’s just
what he does.
“All his little problems, the
G-tube, stuff like that, she gets
freaked out when we have to change
it,” Morgan said of his wife, Capt.
Rebecca Waterman. “She won’t do
it, but it’s not a big deal.”
A G-tube is a special tube
inserted into a child’s stomach to
give food and medicine, until the
child can chew or swallow on his own.
The child’s health issues, which
resulted in life-changing decisions
for the parents, were unexpected.
Rebecca Waterman, personnel
officer, 759th Military Police Battalion,
said that after about eight weeks of
trying to feed her son Noah in the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, they did
a brain scan and diagnosed him with
cerebral atrophy. His blood was cut off
at some point; it could have been for
10 seconds, and they believe he
suffered a stroke and stopped practicing
swallowing while in the womb, an
action hard to get back after birth.
Rebecca Waterman later learned
the problems were because her blood
platelet count was low, a condition
that affects about 3 percent of the
population.
Morgan Waterman takes Noah to
physical therapy once a week and
occupational therapy — the feeding
clinic — twice a week, peppered with
gastrointestinal doctor’s visits and a
dietician. Some weeks, there is an
appointment every day.
Prior to the emergency cesarean
section and complications of birth,
Morgan Waterman, who has a
bachelor’s degree in business
administration, planned on settling
into a job. But Noah’s arrival set
him on a whole new course.
“We were planning on her
getting out (of the Army) or moving
somewhere else, so once I graduated,
I wasn’t going to find a job right
away,” said Morgan Waterman, who
served four years in the Marine Corps.
“We sat down and had a talk after
Noah came,” she said. “I didn’t want
to force him to be a stay-at-home
dad if he didn’t want to (be), and
that was the route we were headed
toward. My biggest fear was that he
was going to resent me for being
able to go to work every day, and he
was going to be the one to stay home,
but it’s worked out well.”
Army Family steps up
Their decision for her to stay in the
Army was in large part due to the sup-
port she received after Noah was born.
“The Army has given us so much,
up to this point; the Army Family
was amazing during our NICU stay,
me going into labor and everything,
because we didn’t have any of our
own Family out here.
“It was rough going for a while,
but the Army stuck by us, and the
friends we’ve made in the Army,”
she said.
“We decided to keep rolling
for a little while and see where it
takes us,” he said.
The toughest part for Morgan
Waterman is finding personal time,
as the only breaks he receives
from his daily care of Noah is
through respite care, due to the
special needs of his son.
“The hardest thing is not being
able to get a regular babysitter,
having to coordinate with respite
care, having limited hours of that,”
he said. “We can’t just pick up a
phone and say ‘Hey, we want to go
out for the day.’”
While arranging respite care
can be difficult, it does allow the
couple to have some free time.
“We went to watch our first movie
since he’s been born, for (Morgan’s)
30th birthday, just two weeks ago,”
said Rebecca Waterman. “That was
nice. We coordinated two weeks
out so that we could have respite
care with him for four hours so we
could go see a movie.”
Rebecca Waterman said she
appreciates that she can trust her
husband to handle Noah without
any concerns.
