Leaders host Ebola community town hall
By Staff Sgt. Nancy Lugo
1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team
Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
Fort Carson leaders held a community town hall
meeting to provide the public with information about
the 615th Engineer Company, 52nd Engineer Battalion,
deployment to West Africa and precautions the post is
taking to safeguard the community against the potential
threat of Ebola.
The keys to success for this deployment are leadership, Soldier discipline and accountability, Commanding
General Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera, 4th Infantry
Division and Joint Task Force Carson, said Monday at
McMahon Auditorium.
Message board
The meeting provided information on Ebola virus
awareness, prevention, detection, treatment measures and
the training Soldiers will receive prior to deployment.
“The DOD mission of Operation United Assistance
really poses a low risk for all of our Soldiers of the 615th
who are traveling there to build Ebola care units,” said
Lt. Col. Robert Price, 4th Inf. Div. surgeon.
Following the information provided by the panel, audience members and those participating online through social
media and the streaming broadcast had an opportunity to
ask questions. The questions included the specifics of a postdeployment controlled monitoring period and if any other
units will be deploying to West Africa from Fort Carson.
Panel members noted that no other post units are slated at
this time, and that while in controlled monitoring period,
Soldiers returning from the deployment will have access
to phones, Internet and other means of communication.
“The numbers of questions go down each time,
and even the follow-up questions. So, to me, that’s a
positive to our ability to push the information out there
and keep the community informed,” said LaCamera.
About 160 Fort Carson engineers will deploy to
Africa in support of OUA, the U.S. military’s response
to the Ebola crisis. The military response is being led by
U.S. Africa Command in support of the U.S. Agency for
International Development. This is a joint operation with
participating units from other branches of the military
services, to include the Marines, Navy and Air Force.

Take time to remember our veterans
By Commanding General
Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera
4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson
This Veterans Day we remember the sacrifices our
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and
civilians have made in serving our nation. We remember
every man and woman who has donned the uniform — for
they stood ready to give their lives in the defense of our
nation. We honor them and we thank them for their service.
Every year on Nov. 11 we honor those who have answered
the call to serve our country in uniform. For more than two
centuries, generations have willingly joined the ranks of
America’s armed forces to preserve our liberty with courage
and dedication. In that time, American Soldiers have carried
on the long and proud tradition of fighting for freedom set by
our forefathers, no matter the cost. Our Army has a long and
proud history of service to our nation. From the battlefields
of Lexington and Concord, to Normandy and Manila, to Iraq
and Afghanistan and beyond, American Soldiers have stood
firm against those who would deny basic human dignity to
others and threaten our way of life.
Now as we celebrate
another year of their
service and sacrifice, I
encourage each of you to
thank a veteran, from our
oldest living veterans to
our youngest Soldiers, for
their selfless service and
dedication. They deserve
our respect and gratitude.
For those who served
and those still serving, I ask
you to reflect on your service
and the enduring bonds you
have built with your fellow
Service members. Pause to remember those who gave their
last full measure of devotion and honor their sacrifice through
renewed commitment and dedication to our nation.
May each of you have a safe Veterans Day. God bless
each of you and your Families. God bless our military,
and God bless the United States of America.
Strength and Respect. Steadfast and Loyal.

Honoring all who served

Carson hosts DOD advocates
Story and photo by Billie Garner
Garrison Public Affairs Office
More than 100 members of the Defense Orientation
Conference Association (DOCA) visited Fort Carson
Oct. 29 as part of the program’s goal to learn how Joint
Task Force Carson and the U.S. Army train Soldiers
to defend the nation.
Representing 24 states, the military advocates travel
at their expense to installations across the nation and
abroad to receive briefings from leadership to better
understand how the military operates.
DOCA was founded in 1952 by participants in the
Secretary of Defense Executive Orientation Program,
known at the time as the Joint Civilian Orientation
Conference, with participants being selected by the
secretary of Defense and his staff.
During the group’s visit to Fort Carson,
Commanding General Maj. Gen. Paul J. LaCamera,

explained the importance of Soldiers and their Families
being prepared to withstand the rigors of sustained
combat operations.
“Joint Task Force Carson trains forces to defend
our country,” LaCamera said.
Robert E. Currie, DOCA president, presented
LaCamera with a coin and expressed his appreciation
on behalf of the association.
“I received a lot of comments after the command
brief,” said Maj. David P.T. David, deputy G7 and 4th
Inf. Div. Information Operations. “The group was
very impressed with Maj. Gen. LaCamera and they
liked his directness and candor on tough questions.
One gentleman said that the brief alone made the
entire trip to Colorado worthwhile.”
DOCA members visited the Training Support Center
for hands-on simulator training. The TSC provides IED
lane detection, Humvee egress assistance rollover, convoy
skills and indoor rifle range training.
“A lot of eyes lit up in the group when they were
offered the opportunity to fire M4s on the Engagement
Skills Trainer. It was definitely one of the highlights
of the visit,” said David.
The group had lunch at the Elkhorn Conference
Center with Soldiers from 4th Combat Aviation
Brigade, 4th Inf. Div., followed by a windshield tour
of the installation, a visit to the Military Operation in
Urban Terrain (MOUT)at Range 60. They concluded
with about half the group making a brief stop to visit

JOC details weather reporting procedures
By Crystal Ross
Mountaineer staff
For the second year, Fort Carson will use the green/
white/red reporting status system when severe weather
hits this winter.
Sgt. 1st Class Bryan Smith, Fort Carson current operations NCO in charge, said the Joint Operations Center (JOC)
changed to the color system last winter so it could implement a phased reporting procedure based on the distance
Soldiers and civilians live from the installation instead of
a blanket two-hour delay for everyone working on post.
Information about what status the post is observing
each day will be available in a number of different ways.
JOC staff recommends Soldiers and civilians with .mil email
addresses sign up for the Mass Warning and Notification
System (MWN) to receive word about reporting status.
To receive messages on personal devices or by email,
individuals must self-register from a .mil computer by
clicking on the Fort Carson MWN purple ball icon on
the task bar and selecting “Access Self Service.”
Information will also be posted on the Fort Carson and
4th Infantry Division Facebook and Twitter pages as well
as the Fort Carson website at http://www.carson.army.mil.
Local media outlets will broadcast the reporting status,
and it will also be available via the Fort Carson Severe
Weather Hotline at 526-0096.
If the reporting status is green, the possibility of severe
weather is low and there are no delays in reporting.
If the reporting status is “red phased arrival,” the senior
commander has ordered a phased arrival of non-mission
essential personnel until the time designated in the alert
message. Those who live on Fort Carson or within 5 miles
of the installation should arrive no later than one hour after
their normal report time. Personnel who live more than 5

but less than 15 miles from the post will report no more
than 90 minutes after their regular time. Those who live
more than 15 miles from Fort Carson will report no later
than two hours after their normal time.
During a “red phased release,” personnel who live
15 or more miles from the post will be released at the
announced time. Those who live more than 5 but less than
15 miles away are released no earlier than 30 minutes from
the original time, and those who live on the installation
or within 5 miles will be released no earlier than one hour
from the original time.
If the reporting status is red for the entire day, the
senior commander has ordered that all mission essential
personnel will report no later than the time designated in
the announcement, and all non-mission essential personnel
will not report to work until their next regularly scheduled
workday. Supervisors will grant administrative leave for
civilian employees.
To determine whether they are mission essential,
members of the Fort Carson community should contact
their supervisors.
Reporting status white means that the possibility of
severe weather is high, but the senior commander has not
issued any blanket reporting changes. Reporting decisions
are left in the hands of unit commanders and civilians’
supervisors based on their mission requirements. Civilian
employees may take annual leave if they deem it unsafe to
travel or are unable to arrive by their normal report time.
Smith said during the white status, individuals should
assess conditions in their area to determine if they can reach
the post. Soldiers should contact their first line leaders and
civilians should talk to their supervisors in these situations.
JOC officials recommend that commanders brief
their Soldiers on reporting status procedures before
severe weather hits.

“I was very impressed by the

Regardless of Fort Carson’s status during
severe weather, Evans Army Community
Hospital’s clinics will remain open for
patients who have appointments. Other than
in the emergency department, walk-ins will
not be accepted.
On days that Fort Carson declares an
early release, clinics will see patients currently
waiting and will try to contact those who have
appointments later on that day in order to
reschedule them. If those patients want to
keep that day’s appointment, they will be seen
at the scheduled time or sooner if possible.
If the installation announces red status,
EACH clinics will open on time. If patients are
not able to make their appointments on these
days, they will not be considered “no-shows.”
Clinic staff will attempt to contact patients
to reschedule appointments.
On phased arrival days the Patient Access
Services (appointment line) will not book
appointments prior to 9:30 a.m. No new
appointments will be made on phased release
days. Patients who do not want to drive to
appointments on these days should call
526-2273 to reschedule. Patients who book
their appointments through TRICARE online
can cancel online any time.

said Romanello.

important duty, one that Sgt. Maj. of the Army Chandler
has masterfully performed for the last four years.”
Dailey, who enlisted in 1989, is an infantryman
and combat veteran who served four deployments
in Operation Iraqi Freedom and one in support of
Operation Desert Storm.
He said he is humbled by his selection.
“It should be every Soldier’s dream to someday
at least have the opportunity to be the sergeant major
of the Army,” he said.
He told Odierno, “(I never) fathomed when I was
a young Soldier that I’d ever be in this office receiving
this type of recognition.”
Dailey said he and his wife of more than 20 years,
Holly Dailey, are dedicated to Soldiers and their Families.
“This requires a commitment well beyond any that
I’ve ever done before and it requires leadership that
frankly, Soldiers need to be able to see every day,” he said.
“I owe it back to our Soldiers; I have a responsibility
— an awesome responsibility … that is not looked
upon lightly by the Soldiers of the United States Army,”
he said.
There is a lot of work to do and it is a big
responsibility, he said, in carrying on the traditions
of Chandler and in meeting Odierno’s expectations
and strategic goals.
“The Soldiers of this great Army deserve
leadership and the highest caliber of leadership we
can offer,” he said.

Soldiers and vehicles began moving to
the Fort Carson rail yard in the early morning hours Oct. 21 to begin loading vehicles
for movement to the National Training
Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California.
After months of field training on
decisive-action operations, the 3rd
Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, will participate in
a training rotation at NTC as a type of
capstone training exercise.

movement officer, Troop B, 4th
Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd
ABCT, said there is a detailed process
to get equipment deployment-ready
before loading onto the rail cars.
Each unit commander must
determine which vehicles, equipment
and weapons systems need to be moved
and then provide the information to
their respective unit
movement officer.
“We get that list, prepare all of the equipment
and then inspect it and
all of the paperwork for
each individual piece of
equipment,” Kelly said.
“Once the paperwork and
equipment is inspected,
it’s brought down to
the railhead and they can
begin loading onto the
(train) cars.”
Sgt. 1st Class
Theodore K. Pillsbury,
light wheel vehicle
mechanic, Company I,
1st Battalion, 68th Armor
Regiment, 3rd ABCT,
said attention to detail
doesn’t stop with paperwork, but that safety is a
priority as well.
‚“
“The reason we put the vehicles in a
certain order is because of their height,
weight and particular measurements,”
Pillsbury said. “We can only put so
many vehicles and so much weight on
one rail car.”
Soldiers worked in teams of three
to act as ground guides to load the
vehicles properly and to ensure everyone
adhered to established safety standards.
Two Soldiers on the ground assisted the
lead ground guide on the train car to
ensure vehicles stayed properly centered
when loading.
One of the Soldiers working as a
ground guide said loading the rail cars
is good training for now and the future.
“I’ve never really had to do stuff
like this, so this is something new and
I am enjoying it,” said Pvt. Trentavious
D. Cofield, human resources specialist,
1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 3rd
ABCT. “Watching and working with
these guys that have done this already
is allowing me to learn a lot, especially
with all of the hand signals.”
While the process of preparing,
loading and securing the train cars is a
lengthy one, Pillsbury said it helps the
unit maintain readiness.
“There’s a lot of work that goes into all
of it,” Pillsbury said. “This will help everyone be ready for worldwide deployments.”

‘Operation Mountain Hawkeye’
Team improves vision readiness
221st Medical Detachment (Optometry
Team), 10th Combat Support Hospital
A five-person team screened nearly 650
Soldiers in a month at mobile optometry
clinics during “Operation Mountain Hawkeye,”
an effort to increase vision readiness across
the Fort Carson footprint.
The 221st Medical Detachment
(Optometry Team), 10th Combat Support
Hospital, consisting of two eye technicians,
two optical laboratory specialists and an
optometrist, conducted 643 vision screenings
and comprehensive eye exams with three
different units in September.
“This training event was a win-win for all
parties involved as it created valuable training
on our (mission-essential task list), increased
access to care for Evans Army Community
Hospital and increased vision readiness on
Fort Carson,” said Capt. Steven Gutierrez,
commander and optometrist, 221st Med.
Det. “This is definitely something we will
continue to do.”
The team is designed to see patients for
vision screenings, comprehensive eye exams
and treatment and management of ocular
disease or trauma. The optical laboratory is
designed to fabricate glasses for Soldiers the
same day they receive their vision screening.
During Operation Mountain Hawkeye,
the optometry team visited Soldiers from 3rd
Battalion, 29th Field Artillery Regiment and
1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, both
with 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division, and the 247th Quartermaster
Company, 68th Combat Sustainment Support
Battalion, 43rd Sustainment Brigade.
Gutierrez said the operation stressed the
mobility and speed of the team as it packed up
its mobile clinic and had it set up and ready to see
patients within an hour. Similar to a mobile
Soldier readiness processing site, the team
released eyeglass prescriptions, updated
medical records and updated the Soldiers’
vision readiness in the Medical Protection
System on the spot.
“The most interesting (part) during this
was the look of amazement on Soldiers’ faces
when they saw us set up our equipment,” said
Pfc. Megan Cannon, optical fabrication, 221st
Med. Det. “Many Soldiers commented on how
they felt like they were in a real clinic and
couldn’t believe we had all the stuff we did.”
The optometry team is working with a
local Lions Club to read prescriptions off of
donated glasses so the glasses can be given to
people in need during upcoming mission trips.
The 221st Med. Det. will be heading to
Fort Hunter Liggett, California, in February
to take part in a U.S. Army Reserve training
exercise where the team will provide optometry
care to reservists and National Guardsmen.
Units can schedule a 221st visit in their
area to conduct screenings or teach proper
vision screenings and MODS input by
contacting Gutierrez at steven.p.gutierrez.

One nail at a time
Engineers
build skills
volunteering
By Maj. Aram Donigian
10th Special Forces Group (Airborne)
Public Affairs Officer
Seven Soldiers from the 10th Special Forces
Group (Airborne) engineering section recently
volunteered to spend a sunny October day with
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity working on a
building in Fountain.
Oct. 17 marked the second time 10th SFG(A)
engineers volunteered with the organization, as
the Soldiers work toward a goal of conducting at
least one community service event each quarter.
“An event like this has immeasurable value,”
Photos by Spc. Timothy A. Clegg
said Maj. Andrea Peters, 10th SFG(A) engineer.
“Our Soldiers get to give back to the community
using their skillsets, and the community has a
chance to interact with the military on a personal
level. We are reducing the military-civilian gap
one nail at a time.”
The Soldiers had various levels of engineering
experience and were not entirely sure what would
be expected of them. Following an introduction
and safety briefing, they started with the installation of scaffolding. They were joined by civilian
volunteers as they continued to put up fascia,
build hanging trusses, cut and carry lumber and
install sheathing.
“The opportunity to volunteer is valuable
because it provides Soldiers with more hands-on,
real-world practice, benefiting future work projects,”
said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jess Reynolds, 10th
SFG(A) engineer warrant officer. “The same opportunity that builds new construction skills also gives
our Soldiers a sense of accomplishment and pride
as they get to be a part of someone’s future home.”
Some of the Soldiers had volunteered on similar
projects before while others had volunteered with
the program in other states.
“I have participated twice with Habitat for
Humanity. It is a great experience to have more
hands-on training and certainly benefits what I
do as an Army engineer,” said Spc. Christopher
Smith, plumber, 10th SFG(A). “I would suggest
Engineers from 10th Special Forces Group
(Airborne) carry scaffolding to a construction
site in Fountain Oct. 17. The Soldiers were
building skills while volunteering their time
to the Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity
and giving back to the local community.

of his Soldiers was new to someone in the section.
Whether setting up scaffolding and using
pneumatic tool guns or learning new techniques
for building trusses and installing fascia, the
skills trained were transferrable to the engineers’
Army duties.
“(It) was a great experience. I learned so much
in a short time,” said Sgt. Armando Delval, a 10th
SFG(A) combat engineer. “It was a great learning
experience and helped the community.”
Reynolds added that one of the biggest
benefits is simply understanding the tremendous value
of volunteer work.
“A few splinters and blisters
were well worth it,” he said.
According to the Pikes
Peak Habitat for Humanity,
local military members have
been some of the most regular
volunteers with a team helping
every week or two.
“Working with military
units is always a very positive
experience,” said Andy Petersen,
development director for Pikes
Peak Habitat for Humanity.
“They love coming out, digging
in, getting to work and making
an impact. We’ve been blessed
to have so many volunteer.”

back to the community and do things for the
less fortunate.”
Tasks required changes with each project,
adding value for the volunteer looking to learn
and practice different skills.
“One time you might work on the foundation
and the next time you’ll be hanging doors or
roofing,” Smith said. “Even on the same worksite,
the tasks required will change weekly.”
Reynolds added that much of what was asked

Live fire validates safety, lethality
Story and photo by
Sgt. William Howard
1st Stryker Brigade Combat
Team Public Affairs Office,
4th Infantry Division
Strykers stirred up a billowing cloud
of dirt in their wake then quickly halted
to allow Soldiers inside to spill out of the
back ramp during a situational training
exercise on Fort Carson Oct. 29.
Soldiers of Company B, 1st Battalion,
38th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry
Division, followed up their Aug. 13
team live-fire event with the exercise to
continue to validate their safety and
lethality with a squad live-fire training.
“It’s our bread and butter because
companies fight squads,” said Capt. Allen
Jenkins, commander, Company B, 1st
Bn., 38th Inf. Reg.
“Since this is a squad live-fire, it’s
putting our most basic echelon of forces
to the test.”
Two Strykers transported Soldiers at
the beginning of the 250-meter training
lane, and each squad swiftly exited the
back ramp and stacked up alongside
the vehicle for cover.
The squad of Soldiers then bounded
with five-second sprints to cover and
maintain constant fi re on a distant
bunker with the help of a strategically
placed heavy weapons team.
Once they reached the vicinity
of the bunker, a grappling hook was
thrown in order to check for traps before
Soldiers of
Company B, 1st
Battalion, 38th
Infantry Regiment,
1st Stryker Brigade
Combat Team, 4th
Infantry Division,
load into the back
of a Stryker to
complete a squad
live-fire situational
training exercise
on Fort Carson,
Oct. 29.
the Soldiers low crawled to and cleared
a perimeter of concertina wire. The
bunker was destroyed with a “grenade”
after the area was cleared.
With its mission complete, the
squad securely consolidated, treated a
randomly selected “casualty” and then
loaded back into Stryker vehicles to
fi nish the training lane.
“This kind of training is incredibly
important because in real-life scenarios
this is exactly what’s going to go down,”
said Sgt. Ronald Poland, infantryman
squad leader, Company B, 1st Bn., 38th
Inf. Reg. “This is a great group of guys.
They pay attention, love coming to work
and absorb all the training given to them.”
Pfc. Kristian Rivera, infantryman,
Company B, 1st Bn., 38th Inf. Reg.,
said a lot of the company’s new Soldiers
are greatly benefiting from the more
experienced members of the formation.
“When I was a team leader, I was
new to the Army and I was secondguessing myself,” said Rivera. “Now
I’ve learned to be confident and if I’m

Company B is scheduled to conduct
a platoon live-fi re situational training
exercise in January as the Soldiers
continue to learn as they progress through
their training events.
“They’re all sponges out here,
from the lowest private to our young
squad leaders,” said Jenkins. “Every
time these guys go out and train they
improve. They’ve accepted my challenge
to make themselves better today than
they were yesterday.”

make it difficult for them to join their peers in a typical trick-or-treating environment. The daytime
event featured visual cues to assist children through the activities and a “sensory station” with

2-1 Cav. scouts
go to ‘war’
Story and photos by Sgt. William Howard
1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team Public
Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
It seemed like a war broke out at Range 145
in the early morning of Oct. 23, with booming
.50-caliber machine gun fire, echoing impacts of
mortar and 155 mm howitzer rounds and shrieking
rockets fired from helicopters.
The complex mission was part of 2nd
Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 1st Stryker
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division,
culminating its 11-day gunnery exercise with
a live-fire qualification.
The advanced platoon Table XII qualification
required platoon leaders to integrate indirect fire,
maneuver through existing lines of fire and
actively communicate with higher headquarters.
“We moved out and had a couple of key
tasks that we had to hit, but it was mostly moving,
shooting and communicating as a platoon,” said
2nd Lt. Robert Parker, platoon leader, Troop C,
2nd Sqdn., 1st Cav. Reg. “I think we did
incredibly well; this is really the first exercise
that we’ve done as a platoon.”
Stryker platoons engaged stationary and
moving targets in conjunction with live fire from
Stryker mortar carriers, infantry dismounts,
M777A2 howitzers from 2nd Battalion, 12th
Field Artillery Regiment, 1st SBCT, 4th Inf. Div.,
and AH-64 Apaches from 1st Battalion, 25th
Aviation Regiment, 25th Infantry Division.
“We’ve made the lane as complex as possible
to stress our platoon leadership so they can
handle the most difficult situations in combat,”
said Lt. Col. Steven Barry, commander, 2nd
Sqdn., 1st Cav. Reg. “Their ability to synchronize
all of their actions in a live-fire environment is
very impressive.”
During the certification, the platoons used
tactics such as spreading out their formation
to increase fields of fire and forcing their
drivers through difficult routes for camouflaged
maneuvers.
Sgt. Michael Wolfe, cavalry scout team
leader, Troop C, 2nd Sqdn., 1st Cav. Reg., said
he hasn’t driven a Stryker in more than a year
but was able to quickly adapt to the tough terrain
due to the capabilities of his vehicle during his
platoon’s certification.
“It’s a lot better than any of the other vehicles
that we’ve had,” said Wolfe. “At first you think
you’re stuck, but then the eight-by-eight wheel
drive kicks in and the Stryker keeps moving
slowly until you’re over the hill.”
All nine of the squadron’s scout platoons
successfully completed official certification with
day and night operations of the event.
“The effort to do this for a squadron in an
11-day time span is intense,” said Barry. “I’m
really proud of everything we accomplished
out here and thank 1st SBCT and the units on
Fort Carson who helped us pull this off, because
we couldn’t have done it without them.”
Spc. Cody Isaacs, Stryker driver, 2nd
Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 1st

Infantry Division, enjoys a quiet moment

certification at Range 145 Oct. 23.

advanced platoon qualification that
requires a platoon leader to integrate
indirect fire, conduct passage of
lines and actively communicate
with higher headquarters.

Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division
Students and their families were treated to a
Family Fun Night at Patriot Elementary School
Oct. 23 when Soldiers partnered with the school as
part of the Fueling the Future initiative.
Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry
Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division, set up an obstacle course and
nutrition information booths in the school gym to
help encourage physical fitness and healthy eating.
1st Lt. Gregory C. Campbell, Family readiness
liaison, 1st Bn., 8th Inf. Reg., said he and other
Soldiers were at the event to help get
children in the mindset that nutrition
and physical fitness are important.
“We set up an obstacle course for
the kids tonight so they can have some
fun,” Campbell said. “We also want them
to learn that exercising every day is just
as important.”
The obstacle course included sequences
of agility ladders, balance beams, weighted
rope pulling, bear crawls, pushups and
sprints. Students also participated in
wheelbarrow races, lunges and skips.
Children, parents and even school
staff navigated the course with laughs
and smiles as Soldiers guided them
through the exercises.
“Our warrior dash obstacle course
allows them to have some fun (and)
enjoy physical fitness with our Soldiers,”
said Staff Sgt. Augustine M. Ruelas,
M1 armor crewman, Headquarters and
Headquarters Company, 1st Bn., 8th
Inf. Reg. “More importantly, it is a
fun way to help them understand the
importance of being physically active.”
Campbell said events such as this
one help improve relations with the
community. The unit has planned more activities
with the school to continue building that bond.
“We’ve done several events this year with Patriot,
and we enjoy everything we do with them,” Campbell
said. “We have a strong relationship with this school,
and it’s important we maintain that relationship.

You were made to be somebody special
Commentary by
Chap. (Maj.) Doug Ball
Chapel Next pastor
For many of us there is a nagging
sense that we were made for more.
Whether you are a 29-yearold divorced single parent with
fi nancial issues, a teenage girl
trying to keep up with how cool your
friends look on social media or a
Soldier struggling to get promoted,
there are times when people sit back,
look at their life and say, “There’s
got to be more than this.”
You were made to be somebody.
Uou’ve been told you were special,
but instead you feel disappointed,
frustrated or even ashamed. Life
or God has let you down. In the
back of your mind you think it’s
perhaps even your fault because of
the mistakes and choices you’ve
made in life.
Moses felt this as well. He
had a chance to be royalty, part of
Pharaoh’s family, but he killed a
man and fled to the desert. He could
have been so much more, but he
resigned to be just a man herding
sheep in a barren land. So, when
God showed up and told Moses that
he was preparing to call his people
out of Egypt, to set them apart once
again and that Moses was the man
he had chosen to lead them, Moses
didn’t think he could do it. He felt
he wasn’t good enough and that he
had disqualified himself from being
used by God. And so Moses asked
God, “Who am I to fi ll the amazing
purpose of leading God’s people out
of Egypt?” God could have replied
honestly: “You are an orphaned and
abandoned kid who grew up to be a
murderer and then became homeless,
and now you live in the desert and
talk to burning bushes.” But, God
did not say this.
If I was translating scripture
when Moses asked his question, God
would have said, “Who cares?”
God’s answer showed that it did not
matter what Moses had done or who
he thought he was. What mattered
was that God had called him and
God was with him. God, the one who
is so set apart that he is only defi ned

had called Moses and raised him

Driving, texting deadly combination
By Sgt. 1st Class Jacob A. McDonald
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office
Speeding down the highway at 65 mph, a driver
hears his phone chime, informing him of a new
text message. He picks up his phone, taking his
eyes off the road for a few seconds.
The next sound he hears is a crunch as he plows
into the back of a car he didn’t see while checking his
phone. The sound of ambulances follows a little later.
Talking or texting on a phone while driving
are two elements of the larger issue of distracted
driving, according to Paul Burns, 4th Infantry
Division safety officer.
“Distracted driving is the obvious overall
problem,” Burns said. “That includes folks messing
with the GPS, eating food, having open discussions
in the vehicle, kids — anything that is distracting
you from driving a 2,000-pound or larger vehicle
down the road.
“The cell phone is a relatively new inject into
driving,” Burns said. “As soon as we had cell
phones we had people talking on them while they
were driving. That cell phone, whether it is a phone
call or a text, whether we receive it or send it, or
actively participate in a discussion, it takes your
attention off the road. It’s not only the visual attention, it’s your thought process you are shifting. Not
only have you visually stopped driving your vehicle,
you have mentally stopped driving your vehicle.
It’s not just texting and it’s not just cell phone use.
However, those two items have become the predominant killer of vehicle operators or people being
killed in automobile accidents in recent years.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, more than nine people are killed
and more than 1,153 people are injured every day
in the United States in crashes involving a distracted
driver. The U.S. government website http://www.
distraction.gov states that 3,328 people were killed in
crashes involving a distracted driver in 2012. An
additional 421,000 people were injured in motor
vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver that year.
“There are studies out there by several agencies
that tell us that the simple act of reciving a text and
checking it diverts our eyes and our attention from
the road and operating that vehicle for anywhere
from 4.5 to six seconds,” Burns said. “If you are
doing 55 mph, you will have traveled a football
field length or more in that timeframe.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) states that at any given
daylight moment across America, about 660,000
drivers are using cell phones or manipulating electronic
devices while driving, a number that has held steady
since 2010. While many of the statistics state that the
higher-risk population for distracted driving is under

20 years old, Burns said it is a problem across the board.
“A lot of people are focusing on our teen drivers
right now, but this isn’t a teen event,” Burns said.
“You can stop at any stop light and see almost
everybody texting or checking the phone because
they have to have that connectivity.”
Burns recommends that if a call or text has to
be dealt with immediately, drivers should pull off
the road and get clear of traffic before they check
their text or answer a phone call.
“If a phone call is that important that you must
take it, then it should also be important enough to
get off the road and get out of traffic,” Burns said.
He added that with regular distracted drivers it is
only a matter of time before they are involved in an
accident or a near miss. The NHTSA has published
information stating that texting drivers are 23 times
more likely to be involved in an accident.
To lower risk, Burns asks drivers to be
responsible and requests that passengers ask
drivers to not answer the phone or to pull over.
He also recommends that if people see other
drivers texting or driving distracted, they should
note the license plate and report it to the police.
In the state of Colorado, drivers are
prohibited from texting while driving except in
an emergency. Drivers under the age of 18 are
prohibited from using cell phones, even with a
hands-free device, except in specific emergency
situations. Currently, the fine for cell phone
use while driving on post is $50 plus a $25
surcharge for a first offense. A second offense
is a $100 fine plus a $25 surcharge.

to include links, videos and training tools,
can be found at the U.S. Army Safety Center
website, https://safety.army.mil.

Football playoffs begin to take shape
Story and photo by Walt Johnson
Mountaineer staff
The Fort Carson intramural post football
championships are scheduled to begin Tuesday
at the Mountain Post Sports Complex.
Action will begin in both the battalion and
company level leagues as the 2014 post champion
will be crowned.
Levi Hokkala, intramural sports director,
Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and
Recreation, said this has been a good year for the
intramural football program. He said the action
has been tremendous with the top teams in the
league being among the best on post in some time.
At one point in the past two weeks there were as
many as eight teams boasting undefeated records
and three teams with only one loss. Hokkala
said this has his staff and the players excited
about the upcoming playoffs.
“We really think this is going to be a playoff
that any of the 12 teams in the company and
battalion leagues will be capable of winning,”
Hokkala said. “All year these teams have shown
they are top level teams and they have the ability
to rise to any occasion and play excellent football.
We are truly excited about what the two-week
playoff will hold.”
Demetrius Johnson, coach of the 544th
Engineers team that was undefeated as of Tuesday,
said the strength of the league is a credit to the
players on post.
“We come out here to play,” he said. “These
teams are so good that the key to winning, I
believe, will be teamwork and communication,
two things that we have done well all season, and I
don’t expect that to change once the playoffs start.”
The playoffs will begin with games at the
football complex beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center
offers
Veterans Day
discount
A tour guide tells visitors about the Tyrannasaurus rex that was discovered in
South Dakota. It’s one of the largest and most complete specimens ever found.
Story and photos by Nel Lampe
Mountaineer staff
One of the nation’s newest world-class dinosaur museums
is only a few miles away and is offering half-price admission
for active-duty military and their immediate Family members
on Veterans Day.
Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland
Park displays dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
Although visitors can take a self-guided tour, opt for a guided
tour even if there’s a short wait. The guides are very knowledgeable
about dinosaurs and the prehistoric exhibits in the facility.
The center has three halls. Visitors enter the Dinosaur
Hall and see small specimens including the Pteranodon, a
flying creature with a wingspan of 24 feet, a Conchoraptor,
a Bambiraptor and an Oviraptor. There are specimens in field
jackets, huge bones that can be touched, dinosaur eggs, dinosaur
footprints and an Edmontosaurus skin impression cast.
A new display, nicknamed “Chicken from Hell,” was
discovered in the Hell Creek formation in South Dakota. The
Anzu wyliei, from the late Cretaceous Period, was prepared
and cast in the paleontology laboratory in Woodland Park.
The atrium now has a display of a giant sloth, or giant claw.
This Megalonys jeffersoni weighed about 2,000 pounds. This
specimen was found in 2010 near Snowmass Village, the first
ever found in Colorado.
Woody’s Hands-On Adventure is also in the
Dinosaur Hall and has activities especially for
children, including a children’s dig site, mystery
boxes with real fossils, dinosaur rubbings and a

and serrated teeth. Nicknamed “Stan,” the 66• WALLET DAMAGE – $$

in 2012 in Montana.
Just the Facts
A giant sloth was discovered during a construction project near
Snowmass Village, the first ever found in Colorado. A cast replica of
the sloth is displayed in the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.

The Prehistoric Ocean Hall displays marine reptiles and
ferocious-looking fish also from the Cretaceous period. As
Kansas was covered by the Western Interior Sea during the
Mesozoic Era, most of the specimens were found in Kansas.
Exhibits include a Tylosaurus proriger, modern and fossil
Coelacanths, turtles, a Xiphactinus audax and an Elasmosaurus
platyurus. There’s also a mummified baby mammoth found
in Siberia and the teeth from a prehistoric Carcharodon
megalodon shark found in Florida.
A small theater shows a video about paleontologists on a dig.
The large paleontology lab can be seen when leaving
the ocean hall. Paleontologists are in the lab Monday-Friday
painstakingly removing rock and other material from
specimens. The work may take months or years.
Founders of the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource
Center are Mike and J.J. Triebold of Triebold Paleontology,
Inc., who live in Woodland Park. TPI has active dig sites in
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas and Texas.
TPI conducts paleontological exploration, restoration,
mounting and casts replicas for 150 museums around the world.
Specimens discovered in the digs are transported to Woodland
Park and paleontologists work on them in the company’s
laboratory. As fossilized bones are very heavy and fragile,
cast replicas are made for display. After casting, the pieces
are assembled
around a steel
structure and
painted to
resemble the
original fossil.
Once complete,
many of the
specimens are
first displayed in
the RMDRC.
Visitors can
have a green
screen photo
made with a
dinosaur — $5
for one photo
and $8 for two.
Ask about the
photo at the
entrance desk.

4 and under are admitted free. A military discount of $1 is
available for children and adults and on Veterans Day,

will be admitted for halfprice.
To reach the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center,
take Highway 24 west to the town of Woodland Park, about 20
miles. The resource center is at 201 S. Fairview St., on the south
side of Highway 24 near downtown. Watch for the palm trees and
dinosaur figures in front of the building. Hours are 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It
