ity! The Outlaws have
already proven that they
can work well together
and accomplish any
mission presented to
them.
All is completed and we
are ready to deploy!
Outlaws, have a safe
trip where ever you are
headed and lets start
this new journey next
month with high spirits!
The final weeks
are here for the
Outlaws! This
weekend is the be-
ginning of block
leave and for
many of us, this is
a long awaited re-
union with our
families we left
behind in the
States! For others,
this is the time to
spend every sec-
ond possible with
your loved ones
before saying fare-
well. Once Octo-
ber hits us in a
blink of an eye,
we will be getting
ready to aboard
that bird which
will take us to our
deploying desti-
nations whether
its Qatar or Ku-
wait. So now is
the time to cher-
ish every moment
we have left with
our families
which is the most
important prior-
The time has come….

CLS Certification
Page 3 OUTLAWS
Combat Lifesaver or
CLS as most of us
know it as was a four
day training event to
get certified. The
Outlaws learned and
refreshed their
knowledge of apply-
ing tourniquets. Also
what to do in the
situation of Care un-
der fire as well as
tactical field care and
tactical evacuation
care. The Outlaws
were put in scenarios
to test their memory
of tactical casualty
combat care and to
apply the phases on
their casualty. They
teamed up in pairs of
two in order to work
together and save a
fellow Soldier’s life.
The Outlaws all
passed this course
with flying colors!
Theater Specific Individual Readiness Training or TSIRT, was a three day long training event. The
hours were long, starting at 0830 until 2100 everyday! The Outlaws trained in everything from CLS,
HEAT, grenades, lanes, IEDs, and weapons qualifications. At times, it seemed overwhelming because
of the short period of time in which the Outlaws were to complete this training but everyone got a
“GO”.

The Outlaws learned a lot of valuable training and even had
fun doing so. Between the M18 smoke clouding the buildings that were being cleared
during the lanes and learning the different types of IEDs, the Outlaws gained good
comprehension of tactical training from an incredible team of NCOs.

A small team of four Outlaws got together on this day to prepare the duffle bags
for everyone in the detachment. The area was filled with the smell of spray paint
but with a little bit of teamwork, the Outlaws got through fifty duffle bags within
the morning. It was challenging at first because of the stencils and also having to
create the diamond that represents Finance, but all in all, the bags turned out ex-
actly as planned. Though, it was a headache, the purpose of this is to distinguish
our duffle bags from everyone else as a Detachment but also from each other as
they each have personal information.

On Friday, September 6th, the Outlaws were given the day off after having taken
the APFT. Many Outlaws improved on their score which goes to show that dedi-
cation pays off! In the afternoon, the Outlaws got together to enjoy a sociable
BBQ. Hotdogs, steaks and every side you can think of were served at this event.
Families and pets were also present which made this more a fun and vibrant envi-
ronment. FRG planned this event and it turned out to be very successful like al-
ways so we give thanks to the ladies of FRG for putting this together!...
