OCTOBER! F R G N E W S L E T T E R! 2011

October has arrived and the crisper, cooler fall weather with it. The passing of September saw the troopers of

Taskforce Wolfpack move-out to do the job they have all trained hard to do.

Photos were taken throughout the hangar during the trooper movements.

You can find them on Facebook through the Wolfpack Family Readiness page, 1/82 ARB page, the 82nd Combat

Aviation Brigade page and most likely even shared on your own company page. These photos are downloadable to your own computer for you to have.

As we are sent approved links or photos, we will share them with you. Information on how to link to us on

Facebook is on the next page. We look forward to having plenty to share and hope you will share yours as well.

WOLFPACK

OPSEC & PERSEC1. Do not post exact deployment dates or redeployment dates.

2. Do not reveal camp locations, including nearby cities.

“Intelligence collection and

analysis is like assembling a

picture puzzle. Intelligence collectors are fully aware of the

importance of obtaining small bits of information, or ‘pieces’ of a

puzzle, from many sources and

assembling them to form the overall

picture.”

3. Do not discuss convoy routes; detailed information on the mission, capabilities or

morale of a unit; specific names or actual nicknames; details concerning security procedures, response times, tactics.

4. Don’t discuss equipment.

5. Don’t speculate about operations.

6. Don’t post pictures that could be misconstrued or used for propaganda

purposes. Look at your picture without your caption or explanation and consider if it could be re-captioned to reflect

poorly on coalition forces.

7. Don’t use count-up or count-down tickers for the same reason as rule #1.

8. Don’t post pictures that show significant landmarks and black out last names and

unit affiliations.

9. Do not, ever, post information about

casualties (coalition or enemy) before the official release of the information.

10. Do not pass on rumors.

WITH THE CHILL IN THE AIR MANY PEOPLE WILL START

ENJOYING THEIR FIREPLACES. REMEMBER FIREPLACE SAFETY

IS YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Fireplace SafetyMore than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-

fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the fire risks when heating

with wood and solid fuels.

Heating fires account for 36% of home fires every year. Often these fires are due

to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and efficiently.

And don’t forget... install smoke alarms on every level of your home, test them monthly and change the batteries at least

once a year. Consider installing the new long life smoke alarms.
