without concern of
the many external
challenges the World
can place in our way.
So when the load
gets heavy and tough
to bear, seek out the
support of others,
trust in a system, and
trust that there will
be battle buddies
there with you shoul-
der to shoulder to
face the obstacles
head on.
As we look
forward into the near
future we see a con-
stant and forever
changing Army that
has no limitations.
Soldiers have more
opportunities than
ever to explore all of
the many resources
available to them
that can change their
quality of life and
standard of living
not only for them-
selves but their fami-
lies as well. Provid-
ing the latest guid-
ance for training and
education is a must.
We hear in Alpha
Detachment believe
in making those op-
portunities a priority
for our Soldiers.
Stressing personal
and professional de-
velopment deter-
mines the force
structure of our
Army. Believing in
the abilities of your
Leaders, Subordi-
nates, and Peers will
change an organiza-
tion for the better
What’s Your Motivation...

Through tough missions and strenuous
tasks, it’s always good to take a step back for
a breather. With that breather, the Outlaws
were able to congratulate SPC McPhail and
his wife Helen on their future daughter. Helen
was an exceptional member of the Outlaw
mission. She was excellent in maintaining
herself technically and tactfully. She consis-
tently scored in the top during her PT tests.
By her side is her husband, SPC McPhail.
He’s an all around great Soldier that can al-
ways be depended on. He goes the extra mile
to get the job done and takes charge whenever
necessary. It is without a doubt they will be
excellent parents. The Outlaws are eagerly
awaiting the arrival of the tiniest Outlaw.
As the weather continues to change here in Grafenwoehr, Germany we continue to
change with it. If there is rain outside, we are in our rain gear pushing through; if it is snowing
outside we have on our cold weather gear training to meet the standard. The important take
away from this matter is that regardless of the conditions the mission must go on. In under-
standing this fact, we as Soldiers have to remain adaptive and be able withstand all tests. Out-
laws are resilient.

Although the times are changing and weaponry is becoming more advanced, it’s always im-
portant to maintain the basics. SGT StPierre is certified in Level 1 Modern Army Combatives and
conducted a class on the subject. She began the day with standards, conditions, and safety meas-
ures. The class was extreme and a taste of what the actual MACP class is. To loosen the muscles,
the Outlaws conducted drills that replicated techniques in combatives. It was intense training, but
the Soldiers knew that anything could happen on the field of battle and they will be ready.

To mirror what life is like downrange, SPC Hawkins created a CST class that allowed
new Soldiers gain experience and senior Soldiers to refine their skills. The teams were to drive
to various locations and conduct the finance mission. More often than not, the Soldiers who
need assistance have a limited window in which they can receive that assistance. Therefore, it is
up to the finance Soldiers to provide that assistance. It was an extremely well thought out plan
by SPC Hawkins and the Outlaws are proud of him.

Outlaws continue to set the standard for training. We have an upcoming M203 and M249
range in late February. In March, we are set to hit the CS chamber full throttle as we set to test our
CBRN equipment. Take on the challenge of a new weapon system utilizing the EST 2000 and the
VBS2 Tactical Gaming system where we will test TTP’s and our unit’s skill set in maneuvering
while in a convoy. There’s some great training ahead for Alpha detachment.
