Being able to drive a tank through a town under re is

something ew people get to experience. However, that'sexactly what Soldiers rom Co. D. 1-72 Armor Regiment

were able to do as they conducted battle tasks and drills Jan. 12 atthe Combined Arms Collective raining Facility at Rodriguez LiveFire Complex during the ve day Crusader Freeze exercise.

Te main ocus o the training was to get Soldiers amiliarwith maneuvering with M1A1 Abrams and M2 Inantry FightingVehicles in an urban environment while stil l completing the missionsat hand.

Every company runs through dierent exercises going overtheir battle tasks and drills, said 2nd Lt. Michael McDonald, Co.D. We've been ocusing on mount and maneuver operations in anurban environment along with our tactical road march.

Troughout the training Soldiers were exposed to harsh weatherconditions, difcult terrain and sleep deprivation in order to preparethem or the rigors o war. We created stressors on Soldiers that you

can't recreate in a digital environment in order to make sure that

they are capable o operating in difcult circumstances and excelling,said Capt. Joseph Harrison, company commander or Co. D.

Soldiers weren't the only ones being tested as military equipmentcan react dierently to the rigid conditions o a Korean winter.

Everything becomes harder when it gets cold, said Harrison.Skills like the ones Soldiers have learned throughout the exercise aretechniques they can use when they leave or dierent units.

I think it's more tools to put in the tool box, said McDonald.I think it's a great opportunity or Soldiers to learn more high-intensive close combat that they might be experiencing downrangein Iraq or Aghanistan.

While there are some Soldiers and leaders who have experience indealing with this type o training, or some this was a new experience.Some o the Soldiers have learned something new, they've all adaptedreally well and we're building together as a team, McDonald said.

Many Soldiers received a lot more than just training as they'velearned what it takes to work as a team in order to nish the job.

I learned that it takes a lot more work than you realize to getthe job done and it takes a team, cooperation and communicationto successully complete a mission, said Pc. Anthony Anguis, a

tanker or Co. D.

who seek assistance here.Te ax Center at Maude Hall has no

reason to be surprised at their popularity.Last tax season they prepared more than1,800 tax returns or a collected reund valueo more than $1.5 million.

Tey did all this without charging taxpayers a dime.

A good reason or getting a head start ontaxes this year is, i a tax payer did not receivehis stimulus check last year because he or she

was ineligible, there is a rebate credit theycan get on their tax return.his act has not been publicized,

Schoenwetter said. I you led last yearbut or some reason you were not eligiblebecause you were a dependent, did not makeenough money, or or some reason did notget a stimulus check last year, it is not toolate. You can get it in the orm o a rebate

credit this year. Tis could be as much as$600 to someone who thought they missedit last year.

ax Assistance Centers will open in

USAG-Red Clouds Freeman Hall Feb. 10and on Camp Stanley in building 2333Feb. 11.

We will be open at Maude Hall vedays a week, Schoenwetter said. We

will be open at Red Cloud uesdays and Wednesdays rom 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. andCamp Stanley on Fridays rom 9 a.m. to5 p.m.

We are taking Mondays as our weekend

day so we can be open Saturdays to see moreSoldiers, Schoenwetter said. We mayextend Saturday hours to meet the needs oSoldiers, i it gets really busy.

When walking in the tax center one willrecognize changes rom last year.

his year we have completely re-urnished the center, Schoenwetter said.Last year the room was open with no bay

walls, this did not allow or the requiredprivacy, given the nature o the privateinormation being presented and discussed

with tax preparers.For this tax season the center is divided

into more than six cubical bays and privacyis more secure, explained Schoenwetter.

All customers should bring the ollowinginormation: valid identication, copies osocial security cards or all in the amilyand anyone being claimed as a dependent,copies o last years return, copies o power oattorney i you are ling jointly or or yourabsent spouse, a voided check or depositslip, Form 8332 i claiming a noncustodialexemption or a child when divorced or

We had an employee o the IRS cometo Korea and train tax preparers throughoutthe peninsula, Schoenwetter said. axpreparers have to test through various levelso certication to be able to process taxes.

ax center preparers trained in three

levels: basic, intermediate and advanced,which refects the levels o complexity, anda special test or military and internationaltaxes. Tey took more than 28 hours oclasses to prepare or tax exams. Preparersthis year must score 80 percent out o 100 topass and they can take the test only twice.

Basically, our structure is like all else

in the military. We ollow the chain ocommand, Schoenwetter said. Complextaxes will start with our NoncommissionedOcer in Charge, Sgt. Shawn Seymouror Spc.

USAG-RED CLOUD Annual ethicsreresher training took place as usual at theUSAG-Red Cloud Teater, Jan. 21, butaimed this time at educating only thoseindividuals responsible or managing,approving, or overseeing nancial actions.

raining was conducted by Capt. BenHogan, administrative law division othe Judge Advocate General, and covered

various ethical areas, ranging rom misuseo government owned vehicles to issues

involving ration control.Most o what I cover in these briengs

involves common sense, said Hogan, butsome areas can be a little conusing.

My intent is to give everyone the actsand let them know i there is ever a doubt,they can come to JAG or an answer.

Hogan said anyone acting on advisementrom his oce will not get in trouble i theinormation turns out to be wrong.

Good use o government resources isthe key part, he said. Teres no need or

anyone to get in trouble or not knowingthe acts. When the area becomes grey, they

should call us.Hogan explained that everyone still has

a problem with the rules on git giving andthe dollar amounts.

When you see someone leave Korea witha plaque, he said, thats totally acceptable.However, i you take up a collection or agit, you cannot orce anyone to contribute.It must be voluntary.

Some o Hogans other key ethicalissues were misuse o government vehicles,endorsing nonederal entities and seeking

outside employment that may confict withocial government duties.

CAMP STANLEY Soldiers on CampStanley met with Area I leadership Jan. 21 totalk about their issues and brainstorm withthe leadership to make lie easier by makingadjustments to services on post.

Headlining the agenda was two weekso bank closure.

Community Banks throughout Area Iare being renovated, said Richard Davis,USAG-RC deputy garrison commander.We must close the bank here or twoperiods, Feb. 3 7 and Feb. 18 21. Aterthe renovation the banks will provide abetter atmosphere and a better acility oryou.

Te main foor o the Stanley gym will beclosed or the Korea Land WarNet rainingConerence rom April 13 17.

Road conditions will be red or the LunarNew Year Jan. 23 27.

Jackson went on to say those who have

experienced the Lunar New Year holiday inKorea should pass on inormation about thehazards o driving during the holidays.

I you do not have to drive, pleasedo not drive, Jackson said. I you haveto go somewhere, please use the bustransportation. Tere will be a lot o peopleon the road.

Te advantage o changing leases between

Soldiers and their landlords to read paymentin won, was discussed and explained.

Soldiers and Civilians living o theinstallation have noticed there has been arequent fux in the value ratio between the

wan and the dollar, Davis said.Tis can cause issues with leases, so the

Housing oce is working with individual

Soldiers and landlords to convert leasestermed in dollars to won.

Tis makes it advantageous to Soldiers. Iyou have a lease that is in dollars and needto change it to wan, you need to contactthe Housing Reerral Oce so they cancontact your landlord and ask them i they

will change it. As o today, we are batting100 percent.

Rewriting the leases between Soldiersand landlords is a systematic approachbecause leases are legal documents, Davisexplained.

In order or me to do a better job,I solicit your eedback, said Col. LarryPepper Jackson, USAG-RC garrison

commander.I welcome your suggestions on how wecan make things better here on Stanley.

Many improvements have taken eectin Area I and on Camp Stanley since 2008.Command sponsorship, renovation o thePear Blossom Cottage, and increased OPost Housing Allowance were but only aew, Jackson explained.

Another day begins or the reenactors oGyeongbok Palace in central Seoul.

Te city is home to fve Joseon Dynastypalaces. But, Gyeongbok Palace is the centerpieceo Koreas royal heritage. Te complex is a living

legacy o 15th century Korea.Extensive renovations over the past

decade restored the palace grounds to aonce regal air.

During most o the Japanese occupation,1910-1945, a monolithic gray administrationbuilding stood within the palace gates blockingthe view o the ormer home o kings.

For decades ater the Korean War,the government used the building as anadministration building and even as the NationalMuseum o Korea; however, it was always apainul reminder o the occupation. Ater the1996 demolition o oending building, Koreansbegan to restore the palace complex.

Te palace was originally built in 1394,but much o it burned to the ground in a

1592 Japanese invasion.In 1911, the Japanese only let 10

buildings standing as construction began onthe Japanese administration building.

oday, there are 330 buildings on the palacegrounds, including the National Folk Museum.Visitors are ree to roam the complex.

Te ceremonies o opening and closing thepalace gate and changing o the guard happenthree times a day every day o the year, exceptuesdays, or in the event o rain.

Te Foundation or the Preservation oCultural Properties is the Republic o Koreaoce with oversight o not only buildingsand relics, but o the how Koreans usedpomp and circumstance to rule the land.
