battlefield to garrison law enforcement and force protection, while continuing to provide trained MP units to support overseas contingency operations. As a Regiment we must embrace our law enforcement mission, because without it we have no relevance. Our ability to provide law enforcement, facilitate corrections/detention missions, and conduct criminal investigation is what make the MP Corps not only relevant, but a game changer for the Army.

We, as a Corps, and more specifically as a brigade, need to prepare to deal with the influx of troops on our installations. Law enforcement train-ing needs to be improved. Soldiers need to be pro-vided with valid, relevant training, heavily focused on active shooter, domestic violence, sexual assault and drug and alcohol related incidents. Prepare our Soldiers to be competent, confident and professional first responders.

Change comes from the top. The leadership in this great organization needs to understand this mes-sage, internalize it and pass it on to their subordinate leaders. Everyone needs to be on board because change has come and we need to be prepared to sup-port our senior commanders.

Lastly, as we continue to support combat op-erations and develop strategies to improve our law enforcement capabilities, we need to ensure we con-tinue to build resilience in our Soldiers and Families. The same time and care that we took in ensuring our Soldiers and families are healthy after a deployment needs to continue long after the unit had redeployed. Healthy families support healthy Soldiers, which en-ables our organization to assist, protect, and defend.

Time to Embrace Change

PROVEN IN BATTLEGRIFFIN 6

On 26 September, the Military Police Corps cel-ebrates 70 years as a Regiment in the Army system. This year’s theme is “Three Strands, One Profes-sion”; the three strands represent the primary MOSs of 31B, 31D, and 31E. In honor of this celebration, we held a brigade competition, bringing together teams from the 93rd MP Battalion, 97th MP Battal-ion, 720th MP Battalion, Headquarters and Head-quarters Company, and the 178th MP Detachment at Fort Hood, Texas.

The competition, formally dubbed the Griffin Challenge, covered a broad spectrum of physical and mental tasks. An obstacle course, combatives tour-nament and written exam are just a few of the events that took place over three days. We congratulate the 720th Military Police Battalion team for winning the first Griffin Challenge.

Along with the competition there was also a me-morial rededication ceremony at the 720th Memorial Grove, a golf tournament, and the week culminated with the Military Police Ball. This was a great op-portunity for us to come together to celebrate 70 Years of Professionalism in Support of the Army’s Mission.

As many of you know, the Military Police Corp Regiment has been the force of choice over the last ten years, at the tip of the spear for our Army. From law enforcement, to police mentorship missions, detainee operations, MPs have been protecting our force both in garrison and deployed environments. This is a true testament to our Soldiers’ courage, flexibility and professionalism.

Keeping that in mind as we look forward, we can see the Army changing. With the drawdown of troops in Iraq and the surge troops in Afghanistan coming home, the Army’s operational tempo will de-crease. With more troops at home station the Army is placing greater emphasis on garrison operations. With that said, we must start shifting focus from the

of the US Army.” Respective Command Sergeants Major must have hands-on responsibility for NCODP defini-tion, implementation, management and inspection in subordinate units. Additionally, the topics discussed during NCODP should not only provide NCOs with educational benefit, but also guide them on how to teach or put into effect those same topics within their respective units. If we truly care about our Soldiers, then we must provide them tough, realistic, applicable training; that training MUST start with training the trainers (ie. NCODP). The emphasis on developing compe-tent and confident NCOs who understand and are able to exploit the full potential of current and future doctrine cannot be understated. Remember, if it’s important to the leaders then it will be important to the Soldiers as well. As always, it is a privilege and honor to serve as your brigade command sergeant major. I would ask that we keep in our thoughts and prayers the many Soldiers within the brigade that are currently deployed in harm’s way as we anxiously await their safe return home. To the leadership within the brigade, thank you for taking care of our most precious resource: The Griffin Soldier. To the Soldiers, thank you for your dedication, hard work and total commitment in mak-ing this brigade the best in the Army.

Greetings again from the “Great Place”! As stated in earlier editions of the Griffin Warrior, I will be discussing certain topics that are both important to me and that will hopefully assist each leader within the brigade in making their unit and Soldiers successful. As fiscal year 2011 comes to a close and we reflect back on the many training challenges and suc-cesses we have faced and overcome, it is with high motivation and great enthusiasm I look forward to fiscal year 2012. As all leaders should be aware, the brigade pub-lished its annual and 1st quarter training guidance (addendum to be published later). With that, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight and accen-tuate a key point contained within as we continue to “build-the-bench” and empower all leaders, but more specifically (in this edition) our noncommis-sioned officers. Leader development is arguably the most impor-tant type of developmental training we participate in. It encompasses every level of promotion, spans each military occupational specialty and compliments the full spectrum of Army operations. Regarding the development of our NCOs, the one area that can provide the most bang for the buck, but is often overlooked is a unit’s noncommissioned officer development program. Field Manual 7-22.7, The Army Noncommis-sioned Officer Guide, states “NCODP is the Com-mand Sergeants Major leader development program for NCOs. NCODP encompasses most training at the unit level and is tailored to the unique require-ments of the unit and it’s NCO. NCODP should be 75% METL-driven tasks and 25% general military subjects such as Customs, Courtesies and Traditions

the willingness to try. Rather than listing the reasons why we cannot, let’s identify ways in which we can. If each person realizes their value, then it is possible that each of us can be a mount on the incline to new heights.

Summer marks the season for high personnel turnover, meaning, Soldiers are coming in and out. Consequently, our FRGs are affected. Disorder is expected when FRGs transition, fear that the team will change is normal, however, it is important to embrace new participation, talents and ideas.

The Family Readiness Group welcomes you. Whether the group is three or ten, it is a team. A positive, can-do attitude is an absolute necessity when it comes to the well-being of our Griffin fami-lies. Attitude affects altitude.

If an ant can carry 50 times its body weight, who knows what we can accomplish in the 89th Military Police Brigade by working together. Big things will happen in small (FRG) groups. Proven in Battle.

GW | FAMILY PROGRAM

“We are not going to be able to do Freedom Fest because some members of the unit will have depart-ed by that time.”

“We are not going to participate in the Freedom Fest FRG Fundraising Booth because we don’t have enough volunteers.”

We often hear comments like these when ini-tially faced with an opportunity. Instead of focusing on the negative and giving up, others prefer to see the glass as half full. Some people concede before they try, while others embrace the challenges that lie ahead. As a result, plans start to formulate within. Thoughts are verbalized, interjections roar, assign-ments are distributed, and regardless of the number, a team is formed.

Our Family Readiness Groups are just that, teams. Past accomplishments give them the courage to take their hopes and efforts to new heights. Re-flecting on previous unit and family events, we are amazed and think “I played a part in that.”

However, the size of the team that contributed to the success of those events was never revealed. Suc-cess of a Family event is not measured by the num-ber of volunteers, but by the heart of the team and

cisions,” he said. “Rushed decisions that don’t have to be rushed will only turn out badly.”

FORT RILEY, Kan. — Newly inducted noncom-missioned officers of the 97th Military Police Bat-talion face various decisions in their new roles as leaders. Fourteen Soldiers with the battalion were in-ducted into the NCO corps during a ceremony May 20 at Barlow Theater. Guest speaker for the ceremony, Sgt. 1st Class Jeffery Legg, Headquarters and Headquarters De-tachment, 97th MP Bn., told the new inductees to not set their own leadership style. “By definition, a style will lock you into a cer-tain set of rules, it confines you and it groups you. You do not need this to be a leader in the Army,” he said. “To be a leader in today’s Army, stay flexible,” he said. Don’t get caught up in creating your own style. Everything’s constantly changing, and we have to work inside the constraints we are given. You don’t know the constraints you’re going to have two years from now, so to develop a style would just limit your potential.” Decision making and change go hand-in-hand, according to Legg. Once an NCO develops his or her leadership ability, the next step is decision making, he said. “This is the single most important thing that a noncommissioned officer does – they make deci-sions,” Legg said. “There (are) two different types of decisions that we have to make as a noncommis-sioned officer.” Those decisions are split-second decisions, which include the safety of Soldiers and normally include a real-world mission. The other type of decision NCOs have to make allows for time to think things through. It also allows NCOs to apply troop-leading procedures and the ability to talk to peers, leadership, support channels and change of command, Legg said. “Sergeants, do not feel rushed when making de-

Legg described the initial part of making a decision as the easi-est part and accepting responsibility as the hardest part. “Once you make a decision, sergeants, that decision lies with you,” he said. “What that means is, from the time you make a decision all the conse-quences – long-term, short-term – they are all your responsibilities now,” “What that means is you have to follow

a decision and you have to deal with the change as everything changes,” he said. Legg went on to say that making mistakes will happen, and it’s part of the decision-making process Soldiers all make in the Army. “The biggest thing you have to remember, ser-geants, is you have to accept responsibility for these mistakes,” he said. “You need to accept responsibil-ity for your actions and the people that you lead. It’s your responsibility to follow the decisions.” Legg describes the job as a member of the NCO corps to be “the single greatest job in the world. There is no other job I can think of … where you’re totally in control of everything.” Lt. Col. Michael Mathews, commander, 97th MP Bn., has talked to Legg about how many of the Soldiers in the battalion joined the Army after 9/11. “When we look at the NCOs inducted today, not only have they joined the Army after 9/11, not only has over 95 percent of them already served their country in combat, but now they are fulfilling their

Patrick Quirk, command sergeant major, 97th MP Bn. “As (NCOs), they will take well-trained, skilled and determined warriors to the streets of Afghanistan and to the regions of Iraq,” Quirk said. “Without a doubt, every step of the way, bringing the fight to the end.” Cpl. Tyler Mohr, 300th MP Co., 97th MP Bn., said he wants to do just that. “I want to be an NCO to train and lead Sol-diers,” he said. “My goals are nothing less than to be the best NCO I can be, to learn as much from my Soldiers as they learn from me. I want to be a ‘for the Soldiers’ NCO.” Leadership abilities gained along with decision-making abilities and the ability to accomplish and accept responsibility will define these new NCOs as leaders in the Army, Legg said. “You’ve been in the Army a while, and you

know we don’t do this for money, we don’t do it for accomplishments, we do it to ensure our country’s safety and to ensure the freedom of everybody in our Families,” he said.

GW | NEWS | MPS FIGHT REGIONAL WILDFIRES

MPs fight regional wildfires

FORT BLISS, Texas -As wildfires continue to burn acres of forest throughout Arizona and New Mexico and rage out of control with many hot spots less than half contained, Fort Bliss military police Soldiers de-ployed to Fort Huachuca, Ariz., Wednesday to assist installation police officers who have been over-whelmed with providing other emergency services in the area. “We are the closest assets to support Fort Hua-chuca,” said Maj. Brian Heverly, executive officer for the 93rd Military Police Battalion. “Their MPs, who would normally work the road, are now doing fire fighting details. Arizona wildfires began burning out of control nearly three weeks ago and are now thought to be among the largest wildfires in the state’s history. Heverly said many emergency services at Fort Hua-chuca are either battling blazes on the installation, engaged in fire prevention around the post’s infra-structure or assisting in the safe evacuation of area residents.

Fort Bliss MPs will focus on traffic control points, traffic management and point facility security

for the Fort Huachuca Evacuation Center. The Bliss Soldiers essentially will take over the larger part of law enforcement responsibilities while deployed.

This will allow law enforcement officers in the Fort Huachuca area to focus more on the emergencies at hand, Heverly explained.

Spc. Rickie Daniel, an MP assigned to the 978th Military Police Company, will be among those MPs who will provide support to the affectedmilitary installation. “There are a lot of people in that area who need help beyond their means,” said Daniel. “Whatever they need us to do, our company is trained up and ready to adapt to it and make it happen.”

“Soldiers are not only members of the Fort Bliss and El Paso community; they are a part of the bigger Army com-munity. So when our brothers and sisters on another installation need help, it’s just

something that we do as a part of that larger commu-nity,” Heverly said.

Heverly noted that although the situation in the area is changing daily, as of now it is expected that the Fort Bliss MPs will be temporarily stationed at Fort Huachuca for approximately 30 days.

After the introductions, two speakers who had recently worked very closely with the brigade also gave insight on the current condition of the MP Corps, Maj. Gen. David Quantock, commanding general of Fort Leonard Wood, MO and the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center of Excellence, and Col. John Huey, former 89th commander and current United States Army Military Police School assistant commandant.

The word of the day for both guests was “rel-evance” and how all MPs must shift focus from the battlefield back to base.

“What we have to do is embrace the law enforce-ment piece,” Huey said. “We need to be part of the force protection team. We’ve lost a lot of the ‘P’ in ‘MP’.”

Quantock also spent a lot of time discussing the new and improved Fort Leonard Wood.

“If you can’t find something to do at Fort Leon-ard Wood, you aren’t looking very hard,” Quantock joked about the recently built go-kart track, putt-putt field and pool.

Also in the renovations were about 150 new houses to replace those lost in a tornado and a new high school to support transitioning Families.

Not only are the logistics being upgraded, but the school house itself as well.

“We want one school system that takes care of everybody across the board,” Quantock said.

He added, “there are three battalions worth of new equipment and two that are about to be uti-lized.”

FORT HOOD, Texas – This was one event where the seats would not fill quickly. Old, familiar hands shook as Griffin Warriors from all over the brigade footprint filtered into Club Hood, here April 13, for a two-day leadership conference.

In attendance were all command teams, staff pri-maries, family readiness support leaders and senior spouses.

After taking hold of snacks, counterparts fell in together behind their name cards in preparation for the first of many guest speakers they would see over the next two days.

“It’s good to get all of the teammates together from time to time to regroup,” said Col. Patrick Williams, 89th MP Brigade commander during his introduction to the leaders. “We’re going to have fun, but with a purpose.”

Maj. Gen. William Grimsley, III Corps, Fort Hood deputy commanding general, opened up the floor by speaking to the 89th and thanking them for their continuing efforts of enforcing the law on post and continuing mission in the fight. Grimsley also took time to speak on garrison operations and how the MPs would soon be taking more responsibility with on post law enforcement.

GW | NEWS | “RAIDERS” TRAIN FOR TRAFFIC DETAIL

97th MP Bn. “This shows them what the mental and physical fatigue is going to be like when they have to quickly identify the target, fire and engage on the hostile threats.” Cpl. Reece Nortum, 977th MP Co., 97th MP Bn., described the training as a “confidence builder.” “The two-part training mission is a confidence builder to show Soldiers they can accomplish all these different tasks while they are physically beat down,” Nortum said. “It’s great because on the road you don’t know what the temperature’s going to be, who you’re going to have to deal with or what situa-tion you’re going to have to deal with.” Fellow 977th MP Co., 97th MP Bn. Soldier, Spc. Raymond Navarro, agreed that officers don’t know what to expect when doing a traffic stop or respond-ing to a call at a person’s home. Navarro said the training showed him the confi-dence he needs working on the road. “Knowing of myself that with something going on, I’m able to do (work the road), as well as paying attention to my surroundings,” he said. “I’m able to take on more than one thing at once.” Before Soldiers can begin their law and order operations, they have to complete the law enforce-ment academy, 10 days of on-the-job training and the annual training requirement in accordance with ST 19-31B, a manual to train military police. They also have to be qualified to operate an emergency vehicle and have required certifications on the M9 pistol.

FORT RILEY, Kan.-Although 63 Soldiers – a third of the unit – are deployed, it’s business as usual for the 977th Military Police Company, 97th Mili-tary Police Battalion, as the unit prepares to begin law-and-order operations July in support of the Fort Riley community. In preparation for their law and order operations mission, about 40 Soldiers in the unit braved scorch-ing temperatures to participate in the M-9 Stress Shoot Training June 8 at Range 2 at Fort Riley. During the stress shoot training, Soldiers con-ducted a series of pushups and rower situps, fol-lowed by pushing a vehicle 50 meters, dragging a “buddy” 30 meters, then performing weapons reten-tion and apprehending a suspect, before facing the shooting range. At the range, Soldiers had to identify and engage hostile threats. “Basically, the Soldiers are fatigued to model a real-life situation in the event they would have to chase a suspect down and fight, then have to draw their weapon and fire on that person,” said Capt. Nathan Obermeyer, commander, 977th MP Co.,

While the Family Support leaders spoke on separate issues for most of the conference, they joined forces with the officers and noncommissioned officers for a tour around the resiliency campus here.

Since the 97th and 93rd MP Battalion members did not have a campus of this magnitude yet on Forts Bliss and Riley, it was important for their leaders to see what kind of opportunities the Army was con-tinuing or beginning to offer its Soldiers and Family members.

Points of interest were the child care facility, gym, career progression classes and massage therapy

services.After two days of gaining knowledge about

changes from the brigade to the regimental level, 89th leadership could now take that knowledge and shape their organization to meet the intent of the regiment.

212th ASSIST CJC GRADUATION | NEWS | GW

BAGHDAD - A graduation ceremony for 74 Iraqi Policemen Aug. 21 marked the end of a fruitful two-year-long partnership between the IP and U.S. forces at the Iraqi Police Criminal Justice Center in Bagh-dad, during which more than 2,500 IP officers were trained in advanced policing skills. Those trainees were then able to go back to their stations throughout Iraq’s capital city and share their knowledge with other officers. The occasion of the final graduation was bit-tersweet, and IP Brig. Gen. Sabar Ateya Al-Saedy, deputy commander of the Baghdad Police, and IP Brig. Gen. Ayad Mohammed Kareem, the IP’s Baghdad training commander, spoke of the progress that was made during the partnership and their hopes to continue the training center’s success at a new location. “It is unfortunate that the CJC partnership is coming to an end, but it shows [that] the Iraqi people are stepping up to take control of their own security and training,” said Sgt.

US, Iraqi Police partnership comes to an end with final CJC graduation

Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Divi-sion – Center. Located on Victory Base Complex, the CJC began its first class in July 2009 in partnership with 94th Military Police Company, an Army Reserve unit from New Hampshire. Classes originally con-sisted of just 12 students. Then, in January 2010, the Furat Iraqi Police Academy transferred its classes and instructors to the CJC. Soon thereafter, the CJC caught the attention of Kareem, who was charged with oversight of all the police training in Iraq. He added human rights and counter-insurgency classes, and since then, a working-dog course has begun. Eventually, by the time U.S. forces transitioned into an advise and assist role, the average two-week rotational class had increased to 90 students. CJC classes are now all Iraqi-instructed and follow Interior Ministry-approved curriculum. Students hail from throughout Iraq and various policing groups — the Iraqi Police, Federal Police and Traffic Police. Starting in April 2011, the 212th MP Company took over responsibility for the CJC from the 94th MP Company. Soldiers with the 212th searched stu-dents prior to their entrance to the center and facili-tated training by ensuring instructors had the materi-

als needed, while also maintaining security on the CJC compound. With the Aug. 21 graduation, their task is now complete. “I appreciate the effort that the U.S. forces [have] put into helping this academy,” said Capt. Abdullah, the dean of the academy at CJC, “and I feel confident in its capa-bilities to continue to increase the knowledge of the Iraqi Police force for many years to come.” With their drawdown looming, U.S. forces no longer support the CJC. However, with all of the train-ing and time spent with the CJC

The commander of the unit to which the Dra-goon Company is attached is confident they can live up to the high standards set by their predecessors. “The Special Troops Battalion has high expec-tations for the 212th MP Company following the success of 94th MP Company in Baghdad,” said Lt. Col. Shilisa Geter, commander of STB, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C and a McRae, Ga., native. “The battalion believes the 212th MP Company will rise to meet the challenge ahead and re-deploy as a part of the Dagger family.

BAGHDAD — The 212th “Dragoon” Military Po-lice Company, attached to Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Divi-sion, United States Division – Center, has arrived in theater and has completed a transfer of authority with the 94th MP Co., taking over military police responsibilities in the Baghdad area. The 212th MP Co. recently relocated from Wiesbaden Army Airfield in Germany to Fort Bliss, Texas, and became part of the 93rd MP Battalion, 89th MP Brigade, III Corps. Within a matter of months, they received orders to deploy to Iraq. 212th conducted several training exercises in or-der to prepare for their pending deployment to Iraq, including a three-week exercise at the Joint Readi-ness Training Center at Fort Polk, La., and a week-long theater entry course at Camp Buehring, Kuwait. “The company performed extremely well dur-ing the JRTC exercise at Fort Polk and the soldiers were happy to get the opportunity to train on convoy operations before taking on missions in theater,” said Capt. Vanessa Diez, commander of the 212th MP Co., STB and a Houston native. Soldiers with the 94th, welcomed the Dragoon Soldiers, spending long hours and late nights ensur-ing the newcomers understood the area of opera-tions, the mission and key personnel in the STB. “It’s important to set the incoming soldiers up for success and to take pride in the missions we are handing off, in hopes that our pride will become their pride since the Army is one team and one fight,” said Master Sgt. Roy Moweary, operations sergeant with the 94th MP Co. and a Londonderry, N.H., native. “The 94th MP Company has set the bar high in Baghdad,” said 1st Sgt.

Hood Independence Day event the epicenter for the night. This meant more people than last year’s esti-mated 70,000 were expected to attend the event.

Safety always being a top concern, III Corps and the Griffin Brigade made plans to counteract any potential threat that could arise due to the increased and unpredictable population.One of the measures put in place was a military working dog search of all of Sadowsky Field and its outer perimeter.

A few hours before the gates were opened to the flood of visitors, Staff Sgt. Parr, 178th MP Detach-ment, 89th MP Bde. military working dog handler and his partner Sgt. 1st Class Rex, a military working dog, were already on the search for anything that could prove to be harmful to attendees.

Across the field, a tan tent held the tactical operations center for the event and many busy, quick moving officers and noncommissioned officers push-ing to make last minute adjustments and confirma-tions.

Inside, computers buzzed and phones rang throughout the day. One of the most prevalent issues was dehydration due to the triple digit temperature that held throughout the day.

The command and control center assisted with 52 heat injuries that day by coordinating between themselves, the two medical stations on site and the

Freedom Fest, 89th behind the curtain

Fifty-five Soldiers were lined up on either side of the III Corps, Fort Hood flag pole, colors or weapons in hand. They took this last break to wipe the sweat from beneath the brim of their wool berets that had grown hotter on that Texas summer day.

After many hours of rehearsing, they were ready to show the central Texas community how a Soldier pays honors to his country on the fourth of July.

They were signaled to stand ready: feet together, back straight and nose to their flag pole. Even as over a hundred people walked past to fill the last empty seats, not one eye wavered.

A military march was played signaling their

entrance. Led by the American flag and its guards, the rest of the Soldiers holding the state flags fol-lowed in step, keeping perfect distance between one another.

For most of the visitors to Fort Hood that day, this was their first look at the months of preparation the 89th Military Police Brigade had put towards making Freedom Fest 2011 a success.

While the officers and Soldiers of the Griffin Brigade worked behind the scenes, Col. Patrick Williams, 89th Military Police Brigade Commander, served as the face of Fort Hood. He spoke on behalf of Lt. Gen. Campbell and presented trophies of ap-preciation to the bands that performed throughout the day and to key civilian military supporters who played a large role in the success of Freedom Fest 2011.

As the sun lowered just enough for the tempera-ture to drop mildly, those flag bearers each stepped forward and rendered present arms with their state flag one at a time to the sound of a cannon’s roar.

Concluded with a speech by the command-ing general, the group retired the colors to another upbeat military march. After rounding the corner, out of sight from most of their audience, they exhaled as if they had been holding their breath in the rigid stance throughout the entire ceremony.

sible, the C2 cell received hourly weather reports, which were given to Lt. Gen. Don Campbell Jr., III Corps and Fort Hood commanding general. Through these he was able to determine whether or not to cancel the event for due to the heat.

In conjunction with all of the work inside the tent, Soldiers put a lot of work getting the tent up and running, secured throughout the weekend and then packed back up.

Many of these hard-chargers came back on the day of Freedom Fest and volunteered at Family Readiness Group booths by running errands or sell-ing food and drinks.

the administration, especially at a time when resources are short,” Mathews said. Mathews also said interaction with the surround-ing communities have increased since Maj. Gen. Vincent Brooks, 1st Infantry Divi-sion and Fort Riley command-ing general, assumed command. “The 1st Infantry Division and other supporting units on Fort Riley have always worked hard to be good neighbors, but when the current commander of the “Big Red One,” Maj. Gen. Brooks, arrived and assumed command, he asked us commanders to increase the rigor of our interactions with our sup-porting communities. This partnership will allow us to do just that.” The partnership will contribute to the school as well as the unit, he said. “The work you do to educate our kids directly contributes to the readiness of the units at Fort Riley,” Mathews said during the ceremony. “When a Soldier knows his kids are in good hands at school, then he or she can better focus on taking care of the mission. We hope this partnership will allow us to contribute to your education, as well as you have contributed to our mission.”

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. — Junction City High School and Soldiers with the 97th Military Police Battalion formalized their previously informal part-nership with a Partnership Charter Signing Ceremo-ny March 18 in the JCHS school gymnasium. “The 97th Military Police Battalion has already been involved with some high school activities this past fall,” said JCHS principal Stanley Dodds. “However, this event today solidifies the opportunity to expand those involvements multiple times.” The 97th MP Bn. provided motivational speak-ers for pre-football game dinners, guest speakers to JCHS JROTC functions and provided training op-portunities to the JROTC program and other groups. “We are looking forward to this partnership with great anticipation and tapping into a tremendous number of now available resources that we have never had,” Dodds said. The principal said he looks forward to utilizing the many opportunities the military has to offer. “In a career academy structure, we are look-ing for opportunities - resources to help our young people learn and grow about different careers that they can pursue,” Dodds said. “Because of this particular location, being next to Fort Riley, there’s a lot of opportunities in the military, but what we want our students to under-stand (is the) Soldiers and military leaders have de-grees in other areas, so we are hoping to utilize their expertise and bring them within the classrooms,” he said Lt. Col. Michael Mathews, commander, 97th MP Bn., agreed with Dodds. “I have a lot of very talented Soldiers and young officers in particular with college degrees ... we’re hoping to have the opportunity to contribute in class-rooms in a meaningful way and help the teachers and

FORT HOOD, Texas - The blue sky was cloudless, of-fering no relief from the hot Texas sun, with the tem-perature climbing upwards of ninety degrees and it was only 9 a.m. “Ladies and gentlemen the ceremony is about to begin.” Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 89th Military Police Brigade was formed up on Gauntlet Field, June 29, with 1st Sgt. Marc Pysarenko at the head of the formation. The Soldiers stood tall and rigid at parade rest, with no sign of faltering despite the uncomfortable, pounding heat. This day the company bid farewell to their commander, Capt. Pete Cruz, and welcomed a new commander, Capt. John Drew. For all changes of command the word bit-tersweet comes to mind for unit and commanders alike. The ceremony is a time to celebrate past achievements and recognize progress, as well as to say goodbye, while also welcoming and embracing change. Outgoing company commanders churn with a multitude of feelings; sadness for the need to say good-bye and remove the green tabs from their shoulders, thankful for the time given to wear them, relieved that they made it to the end of command successfully and excited for the prospects of new op-portunities and challenges. Incoming commanders are excited for the chance to command, grateful for the opportunity to lead, and nervous about living up to the expectations of their superiors and Soldiers.

Some are re-lieved, completely ready for the change. Command-ers are not always popular at times. They have to lay down the law and uphold standards. All, however, look forward to seeing what this new command brings. Back on the field the commanders marched to the guidon which was passed in turn from 1st Sgt. to outgoing to brigade commander to incoming. This signaled the relinquishing of command for one and the acceptance of command by the other. This act was followed by the brigade command-er recalling the successes of the old, recognizing his accomplishments and providing words of wisdom for the new, “I expect you to read AR 600-20, Army Command Policy.” Next, the outgoing commander reflected on his

The incoming commander signed on the net, “all policies and procedures remain in effect.” Commands are like everything else in the Army, ever changing. For those lucky enough to be given the opportunity to command, it is understood to be a privilege. As many brigade commanders and sergeant majors in the past have said, “To lead Soldiers is the greatest honor, without them there would be no one to lead.” Let us take time to recognize those that have successfully completed this mission and welcome those who are just beginning. To all outgoing commanders thank you for your service and dedication in leading troops. To all incoming commanders welcome and good luck! “Proven in Battle.”

Their hands ached as blisters popped with each pull up on their weighted ruck sacks. After nearly eight miles of going back and forth between walking and running, they could feel their boots dig deeper into their feet with each pounding step.

The last three days had fatigued these Soldiers who were chosen for their strength, not only physi-cally, but also mentally. Even through all of the pain their bodies had gladly endured, the Soldiers, noncommissioned officers and officers of the first Griffin Challenge were still motivated to represent their units in this year’s competition here.

The Griffin Challenge is a new tradition to the 89th Military Police Brigade, inspired by the Warf-ighter Competition that is held every year in honor of the military police regiment’s anniversary in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. This September will be the regi-ment’s 70th birthday.

“The first rule of Griffin Challenge, is you do not talk about Griffin Challenge,” Cpt. John Drew, Headquarter and Headquarters Company, 89th MP

Bde. company commander joked.Much like Warfighter, the events of the competi-

tion were veiled in secrecy to prevent any one team from having an advangtage. It also ensured that the winning team would triumph because they are well rounded and well trained Soldiers.

On the first day, Aug. 15, the competitors were awoken to an amped up version of the Army physi-cal fitness test. Each person tried to get the most elevated push-ups and weighted sit-ups, along with the fastest two-mile run with an M4 carbine rifle.

Afterwards, the teams braved ten of the most difficult stations at the air assault obstacle course here. To round out the day, they were given timed hands-on tests on warrior skills such as evaluating a casualty and weapons assembly in the dark.

The next day began with a fierce elimination-style combatives tournament. Then, the Griffin Warriors ran through a range in which they were constantly moving, switching targets and weapons, and kicking down doors.

The last event of the day tested their leadership skills on each level. The Soldiers had to find cer-tain pieces of information on the Army Knowledge Online website, NCOs were given a Soldier and situation for counseling and officers conducted a call for fire and wrote an essay concerning equal oppor-tunities.

Back to that last day, which didn’t start with the march. It began a few hours earlier in the darkness. With nothing but a chemical light and what little sleep they were able to get the short night before, the challenge competitors completed a basic Army knowledge test specific to the Soldiers, NCO’s and officers. Upon its completion, they fought their rucksacks on their backs and began the final leg of the challenge.

After about two hours of trekking before dawn, the sun began to rise overhead, highlighting the fin-ish point. Each team member picked up their pace

At the end of the week, though, they were no longer individual teams, but had grown to know each other as teammates in the same organization.

“This was a great opportunity to bring all of our teammates from Fort Bliss and Fort Riley and have a good fun competition,” Col. Patrick Williams, 89th MP Bde. commander said. “Yeah, it’s a competition. Somebody at the end of the day will win first place, but they’re all winners.”

The week continued on with a golf scramble, memorial rededication, esprit de corps run and rounded out with the MP ball. MP’s from all over Fort Hood, 1st Cavalry Division, III Corps and 11th MP Bn. (Criminal Investigations Division), were invited to celebrate the anniversary of the regiment.

In the midst of the celebration, a winner was announced. The team from the 720th MP Bn. went to the stage to receive their trophy, as their new found teammates stood and cheered, clapping their blistered hands proudly for those they may have never met had it not been for the first annual Griffin Challenge.

and ran with what little strength was left in their bodies. Ran until they could hear their units shouting for them at the end. Ran until it was finally over and they could rest their aching feet.

The competition proved to be a time to show dedication and motivation towards their individual units.

“My favorite part is being with my team and being able to do team events,” Pfc. Christopher Tees, 72nd MP Detachment, 93rd MP Battalion traffic investigator, said.

Tees, a 20 year old who has been in the unit for less than a year, said he had dreamed of being in the military ever since he was a child and hopes to deploy with his unit soon.

Others saw it as a time to push themselves and their comrades to victory.

“As a team, it’s very important you don’t quit,” Sgt. Jarus Perez, 401st MP Company, 720th MP Bn. military policeman said. “You keep moving on, no matter how tired or exhausted you get. It’s a constant battle.”
