FORT SAM HOUSTON

A PUBLICATION OF THE 502nd AIR BASE WING ndash JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO ndash FORT SAM HOUSTON Sergeant Major of the Army lsquoPRT is notthe problem 630 to 9 is the problemrsquoBy Jay Koester NCO Journal

After an Army Times article detailed the seven-day workout plan for Sgt Maj of the Army Daniel A Dailey he got a lot of comments telling him ldquoThatrsquos not PRTrdquo

Dailey has also heard Soldiers using their disshylike of Army Physical Readiness Training as an excuse for not exercising During a recent interview with the NCO Journal Dailey made it clear that he believes in PRT but that PRT is just the beginshyning of staying physically fit Dailey said he does his workout routine in addishytion to PRT to maintain his fitness for the things he has needed to do throughout his career as an infantryman

ldquoI think PRT is actually very good and itrsquos proved a success in our training environmentrdquo Dailey said ldquoWersquove reduced injuries and wersquove increased physical fitness scores coming out of basic trainshying and AIT

ldquoWhat I need units to understand is PRT is not the end hellip We shouldnrsquot be blaming PRT for our failure to have success in physical fitness Itrsquos a tool to use in achieving that success hellip PRT is not the problem 630 to 9 am is the problemrdquo he said ldquoWersquove failed the sacred hour We need to get that back Itrsquos something thatrsquos not going to take months itrsquos not going to take years Leaders can change this

tomorrow morning All they have to do is find a flag wait for the music to go up salute it and start getting after itrdquo

Dailey agrees with conshycerns that there should be stricter consequences for failing the Army Physishycal Fitness Test and he said there will be stricter consequences as the Army continues to impleshyment STEP (Select Train Educate Promote)

ldquoWhen we moved into Select Train Educate Promote about two and a half years ago we made physical fitness a critical part of succeeding in your institutional training expeshyriencerdquo Dailey said ldquoSo if you go to your institushytional training experience now and fail the APFT you will get a derogatory DA Form 1059 which will remain in your records

ldquoPreviously that was not true You could fail your school and then when you passed that 1059 would come outrdquo Dailey added ldquoIt stays in there now Thatrsquos criti-

cally important because when we look for promoshytion we need to see the whole Soldier concept So now with STEP you have to go to your institutional training experience before you can get promoted Itrsquos a gate So wersquove said that noncommissioned officers need to be promoted because theyrsquore certified across all three leadership development domains and now thatrsquos going to be true with STEP So until yoursquove completed your selection your trainshying in your organization your education through self-development and your institutional experience then and only then will you be able to be proshymoted Physical fitness is a key and critical part of thatrdquo

Recently Dailey anshynounced that the new Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report would be delayed until 2016 Dailey expressed complete confidence in noncomshymissioned officers adaptshying to the changes in the

coming NCOER but he said it was necessary to slow the process down to make sure the NCOER is implemented correctly

ldquoWe have to get this rightrdquo Dailey said ldquoWe worked really hard on the new Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report It is an excellent product But how we roll it out and how we make it applishycable to our noncommisshysioned officers is essential to the move forward

ldquoItrsquos OK if we slow down to take the time to make sure we train and educate the force on how to appropriately do it We need buy-in from all the leaders here and across the Army because this is intended to fix our Noncommissioned Ofshyficers Evaluation Reportrdquo Dailey said ldquoSo Irsquom not concerned about the Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report itrsquos the right way to go But I am concerned that we make sure that we get it right as we roll it out to the Army And wersquore going to

do just thatrdquo Because the Army as

an organization is so large it has suffered from moving people adminisshytratively instead of really managing talent Dailey said Though it will be difshyficult Dailey hopes leadshyers can begin to be more involved in some of those decisions

ldquoWersquore a leadership organizationrdquo Dailey said ldquoI want leaders involved in that That doesnrsquot mean leaders will control every facet about where someone moves or where theyrsquore going to stay or extending them

ldquoBut I do need leadershyship involvement with regard to managing the knowledge skills and attributes needed to move an individual to the appropriate position that maximizes the capabilities of the organization and strengthens the mission of the United States Armyrdquo the sergeant major of the Army said ldquoThatrsquos comshyplex stuff As big as we are thatrsquos very complex and very hard to do So as we move forward my senior enlisted counsel will work on doing that Of course a lot of that will occur at the senior noncommissioned officer ranks

ldquoBut internal to the organization I need talshyent management from the perspective of lsquoI have to give back to the Army sometimes I have to invest in the future of

METC cytotechnology students earn prestigious annual awardBy Jorge Franco METC Cytotechnology Program

Two Medical Education and Training Campus cytotechnology proshygram students at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are the recipients of the 2015 Geraldine Colby Zeiler Award for Students of Cytotechnology

Cytopathology is an art and science that cytotechshynologists use to screen human cell samples under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer and other disshyeases Pathologists use the information to make a diagnosis

Sgt Aaron Beaver and Spc Christopher Del Rio were recognized as among the top cytotechshynology students in the nation This is the eighth

consecutive year that a METC student was seshylected for this prestigious award and the second year in a row that two METC students were seshylected at the same time

The award is presented to just five recipients annually The award nominees come from apshyproximately 30 cytotechshynology training programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico so the competition is strong

The purpose of the award is to stimulate and reward high achievement by cytotechnology stushydents during their trainshying Awards are based on academic performance and microscopic diagnosshytic skills as demonstrated within the program as well as leadership ability initiative acceptance of responsibility dedication

and collegiality Each of the five recipients receives a certificate and $1000

Beaver had decided early on that he wanted to work in a field that would help cancer patients He had expeshyrienced personal loss when his grandparents died from the disease and his wife had a scare that fortunately turned out to be benign

ldquoBecause of my pershysonal experience with cancer in my family I knew this is something I wanted to be a part ofrdquo Beaver said

After working as a medical laboratory techishycian he felt he needed to go further in his career

ldquoI pretty much learned everything I could as a lab techrdquo he said ldquoI decided to go into cyto so

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

FORT SAM HOUSTON

A PUBLICATION OF THE 502nd AIR BASE WING ndash JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO ndash FORT SAM HOUSTON Sergeant Major of the Army lsquoPRT is notthe problem 630 to 9 is the problemrsquoBy Jay Koester NCO Journal

After an Army Times article detailed the seven-day workout plan for Sgt Maj of the Army Daniel A Dailey he got a lot of comments telling him ldquoThatrsquos not PRTrdquo

Dailey has also heard Soldiers using their disshylike of Army Physical Readiness Training as an excuse for not exercising During a recent interview with the NCO Journal Dailey made it clear that he believes in PRT but that PRT is just the beginshyning of staying physically fit Dailey said he does his workout routine in addishytion to PRT to maintain his fitness for the things he has needed to do throughout his career as an infantryman

ldquoI think PRT is actually very good and itrsquos proved a success in our training environmentrdquo Dailey said ldquoWersquove reduced injuries and wersquove increased physical fitness scores coming out of basic trainshying and AIT

ldquoWhat I need units to understand is PRT is not the end hellip We shouldnrsquot be blaming PRT for our failure to have success in physical fitness Itrsquos a tool to use in achieving that success hellip PRT is not the problem 630 to 9 am is the problemrdquo he said ldquoWersquove failed the sacred hour We need to get that back Itrsquos something thatrsquos not going to take months itrsquos not going to take years Leaders can change this

tomorrow morning All they have to do is find a flag wait for the music to go up salute it and start getting after itrdquo

Dailey agrees with conshycerns that there should be stricter consequences for failing the Army Physishycal Fitness Test and he said there will be stricter consequences as the Army continues to impleshyment STEP (Select Train Educate Promote)

ldquoWhen we moved into Select Train Educate Promote about two and a half years ago we made physical fitness a critical part of succeeding in your institutional training expeshyriencerdquo Dailey said ldquoSo if you go to your institushytional training experience now and fail the APFT you will get a derogatory DA Form 1059 which will remain in your records

ldquoPreviously that was not true You could fail your school and then when you passed that 1059 would come outrdquo Dailey added ldquoIt stays in there now Thatrsquos criti-

cally important because when we look for promoshytion we need to see the whole Soldier concept So now with STEP you have to go to your institutional training experience before you can get promoted Itrsquos a gate So wersquove said that noncommissioned officers need to be promoted because theyrsquore certified across all three leadership development domains and now thatrsquos going to be true with STEP So until yoursquove completed your selection your trainshying in your organization your education through self-development and your institutional experience then and only then will you be able to be proshymoted Physical fitness is a key and critical part of thatrdquo

Recently Dailey anshynounced that the new Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report would be delayed until 2016 Dailey expressed complete confidence in noncomshymissioned officers adaptshying to the changes in the

coming NCOER but he said it was necessary to slow the process down to make sure the NCOER is implemented correctly

ldquoWe have to get this rightrdquo Dailey said ldquoWe worked really hard on the new Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report It is an excellent product But how we roll it out and how we make it applishycable to our noncommisshysioned officers is essential to the move forward

ldquoItrsquos OK if we slow down to take the time to make sure we train and educate the force on how to appropriately do it We need buy-in from all the leaders here and across the Army because this is intended to fix our Noncommissioned Ofshyficers Evaluation Reportrdquo Dailey said ldquoSo Irsquom not concerned about the Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report itrsquos the right way to go But I am concerned that we make sure that we get it right as we roll it out to the Army And wersquore going to

do just thatrdquo Because the Army as

an organization is so large it has suffered from moving people adminisshytratively instead of really managing talent Dailey said Though it will be difshyficult Dailey hopes leadshyers can begin to be more involved in some of those decisions

ldquoWersquore a leadership organizationrdquo Dailey said ldquoI want leaders involved in that That doesnrsquot mean leaders will control every facet about where someone moves or where theyrsquore going to stay or extending them

ldquoBut I do need leadershyship involvement with regard to managing the knowledge skills and attributes needed to move an individual to the appropriate position that maximizes the capabilities of the organization and strengthens the mission of the United States Armyrdquo the sergeant major of the Army said ldquoThatrsquos comshyplex stuff As big as we are thatrsquos very complex and very hard to do So as we move forward my senior enlisted counsel will work on doing that Of course a lot of that will occur at the senior noncommissioned officer ranks

ldquoBut internal to the organization I need talshyent management from the perspective of lsquoI have to give back to the Army sometimes I have to invest in the future of

METC cytotechnology students earn prestigious annual awardBy Jorge Franco METC Cytotechnology Program

Two Medical Education and Training Campus cytotechnology proshygram students at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are the recipients of the 2015 Geraldine Colby Zeiler Award for Students of Cytotechnology

Cytopathology is an art and science that cytotechshynologists use to screen human cell samples under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer and other disshyeases Pathologists use the information to make a diagnosis

Sgt Aaron Beaver and Spc Christopher Del Rio were recognized as among the top cytotechshynology students in the nation This is the eighth

consecutive year that a METC student was seshylected for this prestigious award and the second year in a row that two METC students were seshylected at the same time

The award is presented to just five recipients annually The award nominees come from apshyproximately 30 cytotechshynology training programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico so the competition is strong

The purpose of the award is to stimulate and reward high achievement by cytotechnology stushydents during their trainshying Awards are based on academic performance and microscopic diagnosshytic skills as demonstrated within the program as well as leadership ability initiative acceptance of responsibility dedication

and collegiality Each of the five recipients receives a certificate and $1000

Beaver had decided early on that he wanted to work in a field that would help cancer patients He had expeshyrienced personal loss when his grandparents died from the disease and his wife had a scare that fortunately turned out to be benign

ldquoBecause of my pershysonal experience with cancer in my family I knew this is something I wanted to be a part ofrdquo Beaver said

After working as a medical laboratory techishycian he felt he needed to go further in his career

He added being seshylected for the Geraldine Colby Zeiler award was humbling ldquoIt was just overwhelming I was awestruckrdquo he said

Del Rio also worked hard for this recognishytion by studying extra hours and self-teaching histologic principles and techniques to compleshyment his practical experience In April 2015 Del Rio passed the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification exam as a histotechnician He will be graduating as both a

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

METC cytotechnology students earn prestigious annual awardBy Jorge Franco METC Cytotechnology Program

Two Medical Education and Training Campus cytotechnology proshygram students at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are the recipients of the 2015 Geraldine Colby Zeiler Award for Students of Cytotechnology

Cytopathology is an art and science that cytotechshynologists use to screen human cell samples under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer and other disshyeases Pathologists use the information to make a diagnosis

Sgt Aaron Beaver and Spc Christopher Del Rio were recognized as among the top cytotechshynology students in the nation This is the eighth

consecutive year that a METC student was seshylected for this prestigious award and the second year in a row that two METC students were seshylected at the same time

The award is presented to just five recipients annually The award nominees come from apshyproximately 30 cytotechshynology training programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico so the competition is strong

The purpose of the award is to stimulate and reward high achievement by cytotechnology stushydents during their trainshying Awards are based on academic performance and microscopic diagnosshytic skills as demonstrated within the program as well as leadership ability initiative acceptance of responsibility dedication

and collegiality Each of the five recipients receives a certificate and $1000

Beaver had decided early on that he wanted to work in a field that would help cancer patients He had expeshyrienced personal loss when his grandparents died from the disease and his wife had a scare that fortunately turned out to be benign

ldquoBecause of my pershysonal experience with cancer in my family I knew this is something I wanted to be a part ofrdquo Beaver said

After working as a medical laboratory techishycian he felt he needed to go further in his career

ldquoI pretty much learned everything I could as a lab techrdquo he said ldquoI decided to go into cyto so

He added being seshylected for the Geraldine Colby Zeiler award was humbling ldquoIt was just overwhelming I was awestruckrdquo he said

Del Rio also worked hard for this recognishytion by studying extra hours and self-teaching histologic principles and techniques to compleshyment his practical experience In April 2015 Del Rio passed the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification exam as a histotechnician He will be graduating as both a

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

METC cytotechnology students earn prestigious annual awardBy Jorge Franco METC Cytotechnology Program

Two Medical Education and Training Campus cytotechnology proshygram students at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are the recipients of the 2015 Geraldine Colby Zeiler Award for Students of Cytotechnology

Cytopathology is an art and science that cytotechshynologists use to screen human cell samples under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer and other disshyeases Pathologists use the information to make a diagnosis

Sgt Aaron Beaver and Spc Christopher Del Rio were recognized as among the top cytotechshynology students in the nation This is the eighth

consecutive year that a METC student was seshylected for this prestigious award and the second year in a row that two METC students were seshylected at the same time

The award is presented to just five recipients annually The award nominees come from apshyproximately 30 cytotechshynology training programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico so the competition is strong

The purpose of the award is to stimulate and reward high achievement by cytotechnology stushydents during their trainshying Awards are based on academic performance and microscopic diagnosshytic skills as demonstrated within the program as well as leadership ability initiative acceptance of responsibility dedication

and collegiality Each of the five recipients receives a certificate and $1000

Beaver had decided early on that he wanted to work in a field that would help cancer patients He had expeshyrienced personal loss when his grandparents died from the disease and his wife had a scare that fortunately turned out to be benign

ldquoBecause of my pershysonal experience with cancer in my family I knew this is something I wanted to be a part ofrdquo Beaver said

After working as a medical laboratory techishycian he felt he needed to go further in his career

ldquoI pretty much learned everything I could as a lab techrdquo he said ldquoI decided to go into cyto so

Del Rio had a similar bers as well However

his choice of career path didnrsquot fall far from the tree either ldquoBoth my parents are medishycal lab techs so I was always pretty much exposed to itrdquo

He added being seshylected for the Geraldine Colby Zeiler award was humbling ldquoIt was just overwhelming I was awestruckrdquo he said

Del Rio also worked hard for this recognishytion by studying extra hours and self-teaching histologic principles and techniques to compleshyment his practical experience In April 2015 Del Rio passed the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification exam as a histotechnician He will be graduating as both a

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

Salvadoran Brig Gen William Armando Mejia (left) Salvadoran army chief of staff explains the equipment used by a Salvadoran soldier assigned to Task Force Marte an anti-crime unit assigned to assist the Salvadoran police force to Maj Gen Clarence KK Chinn (second from left) US Army South commanding general during the second day of the United States-El Salvador army-to-army staff talks in San Salvador El Salvador July 15 The staff talks program serves as a foshyrum to communicate and work closely with partner nations to improve military cooperation strengthen professional relationships and have lasting effects on the peace and stability of the region

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

METC cytotechnology students earn prestigious annual awardBy Jorge Franco METC Cytotechnology Program

Two Medical Education and Training Campus cytotechnology proshygram students at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston are the recipients of the 2015 Geraldine Colby Zeiler Award for Students of Cytotechnology

Cytopathology is an art and science that cytotechshynologists use to screen human cell samples under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer and other disshyeases Pathologists use the information to make a diagnosis

Sgt Aaron Beaver and Spc Christopher Del Rio were recognized as among the top cytotechshynology students in the nation This is the eighth

consecutive year that a METC student was seshylected for this prestigious award and the second year in a row that two METC students were seshylected at the same time

The award is presented to just five recipients annually The award nominees come from apshyproximately 30 cytotechshynology training programs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico so the competition is strong

The purpose of the award is to stimulate and reward high achievement by cytotechnology stushydents during their trainshying Awards are based on academic performance and microscopic diagnosshytic skills as demonstrated within the program as well as leadership ability initiative acceptance of responsibility dedication

and collegiality Each of the five recipients receives a certificate and $1000

Beaver had decided early on that he wanted to work in a field that would help cancer patients He had expeshyrienced personal loss when his grandparents died from the disease and his wife had a scare that fortunately turned out to be benign

ldquoBecause of my pershysonal experience with cancer in my family I knew this is something I wanted to be a part ofrdquo Beaver said

After working as a medical laboratory techishycian he felt he needed to go further in his career

Del Rio had a similar bers as well However

his choice of career path didnrsquot fall far from the tree either ldquoBoth my parents are medishycal lab techs so I was always pretty much exposed to itrdquo

He added being seshylected for the Geraldine Colby Zeiler award was humbling ldquoIt was just overwhelming I was awestruckrdquo he said

Del Rio also worked hard for this recognishytion by studying extra hours and self-teaching histologic principles and techniques to compleshyment his practical experience In April 2015 Del Rio passed the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification exam as a histotechnician He will be graduating as both a

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

Salvadoran Brig Gen William Armando Mejia (left) Salvadoran army chief of staff explains the equipment used by a Salvadoran soldier assigned to Task Force Marte an anti-crime unit assigned to assist the Salvadoran police force to Maj Gen Clarence KK Chinn (second from left) US Army South commanding general during the second day of the United States-El Salvador army-to-army staff talks in San Salvador El Salvador July 15 The staff talks program serves as a foshyrum to communicate and work closely with partner nations to improve military cooperation strengthen professional relationships and have lasting effects on the peace and stability of the region

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

Salvadoran Brig Gen William Armando Mejia (left) Salvadoran army chief of staff explains the equipment used by a Salvadoran soldier assigned to Task Force Marte an anti-crime unit assigned to assist the Salvadoran police force to Maj Gen Clarence KK Chinn (second from left) US Army South commanding general during the second day of the United States-El Salvador army-to-army staff talks in San Salvador El Salvador July 15 The staff talks program serves as a foshyrum to communicate and work closely with partner nations to improve military cooperation strengthen professional relationships and have lasting effects on the peace and stability of the region

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

Army South joins El Salvador for army-to-army staff talksBy Eric Lucero Army South Public Affairs

US Army South conshyducted staff talks with the Salvadoran army July 13-16 in San Salvador El Salvador to foster a bilatshyeral partnership discuss ways to counter transnashytional organized threats and plan mutual training engagements over the coming three years to proshymote increased interaction between the United States and Salvadoran Armies Army South performed this as the Army service component command for US Southern Command on behalf of the Chief of Staff of the Army

ldquoOur armies have a close and mutually-benshyeficial relationship built on friendship and trust which we have continued to strengthen through the

yearsrdquo said Maj Gen KK Chinn US Army South commanding general and head of the US delegashytion

For the past year staff officers from each army have met in steering sesshysions to plan all future engagements between the two armies During the senior engagement the heads of each delegation meet to sign memoranshydums of understanding outlining those Agreed to Actions (subject matter expert and educational engagements)

These ATAs are focused on developing objecshytives with partner nashytion armies with shared responsibilities

The staff talks exshyecutive meeting allows participants to share experiences update and strengthen the knowledge

Salvadoran Brig Gen William Armando Mejia (left) Salvadoran army chief of staff explains the equipment used by a Salvadoran soldier assigned to Task Force Marte an anti-crime unit assigned to assist the Salvadoran police force to Maj Gen Clarence KK Chinn (second from left) US Army South commanding general during the second day of the United States-El Salvador army-to-army staff talks in San Salvador El Salvador July 15 The staff talks program serves as a foshyrum to communicate and work closely with partner nations to improve military cooperation strengthen professional relationships and have lasting effects on the peace and stability of the region

to combat transnational threats which affect the security of their respective countries such as drug trafficking money launshydering illegal trafficking of people and weapons among others

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

During the three days of talks the two delegashytions drafted a list of apshyproximately 20 ATAs that covered a wide range of professional exchanges designed to improve cashypabilities and the working relationship between the two armies

During last yearrsquos staff talks a key point of disshycussion was the developshyment of a regional center of excellence to assist in countering transnational threats

One way both armies hope to make progress against these threats is through the development of a Regional Trainshying Center for Counter Transnational Crime This institution located in El Salvador will serve as a base of instruction and training and be available to all Central American countries to improve their capabilities to counter these threats

The goal is to have this center operational by 2016 Under the current guidelines El Salvador will facilitate the infrastructure with Army South support while the US will support El Salvador in developing the program of instruction and by conducting instrucshytor exchanges

Of note this year is the strengthening of the Salvashydoran Fusion Cell which supports the special forcshyes commando de Monshytana and Grupo Cuscatlan of the Salvadoran army The intent of strengthenshying the cell is to increase its analytical capacity and effectiveness in support of

the Salvadoran delegation ldquoOur armies have enjoyed a friendship for many years This will allow us to continue to work together to make this region saferrdquo

This yearrsquos meeting marks the ninth time the two armies have come together to re-affirm their regional partnershyship which has become beneficial not only to El Salvador and the United

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo

PRT from P2

the Army by sending our young men and women to school to enhance their performancersquo Sometimes that takes sacrifice from a unit Maybe theyrsquore going to miss a unit field trainshying problem But whatrsquos more important Is it more important to invest in that noncommissioned officer for the future or just that two-week field training exerciserdquo

At the NCO Solarium in May at Fort Leavenworth Kan Dailey expressed concern about how some Soldiers are behaving on social media

ldquoWhen Soldiers harass or put damaging things on the Internet they are not in keeping with the honor tradition and the stewardship of the proshyfessionrdquo he said

Dailey told the NCO Journal he thinks NCOs can solve the problem without needing new rules and regulations in place

ldquoIt sounds very simple and thatrsquos exactly what I want it to berdquo Dailey said ldquoI want noncommisshysioned officers to know we trust them because this is about trust I want them to understand that we do trust you We trust you with the lives of hellip the young men and women that wersquove given you

ldquoWersquove bestowed the greatest honor the Amerishycan society can give to one individual and that is to lead those men and women into combat That same trust applies when wersquore back in garrisonrdquo Dailey added ldquo More acshycurately therersquos no such thing as combat leadershyship Therersquos no such thing as garrison leadershyship Therersquos something called military leadership and Army leadership It exists regardless of where we are and what we dordquo

Another topic of discusshysion that began at the

NCO Solarium was the effectiveness of Army branding campaigns Dailey said he wants Soldiers to see that what is more important than the slogans of ldquoArmy Strongrdquo or ldquoArmy of Onerdquo is the everyday effect a Soldier has walking around his or her comshymunity Dailey wants NCOs to know they are walking billboards for the Army

ldquoMy billboard has and will always say Army Strongrdquo Dailey said ldquoI encourage leaders to think about how they are going to paint their own billboard for Soldiers What is it going to say

ldquoItrsquos critically important that our nation clearly understands and knows that we will always be the organization that is most trusted in America It takes a lot of billboards to maintain thatrdquo he said ldquoIt takes a lot of hard work as well But I always ask this What do you want your billboard to say What does it say today What is it going to say tomorrowrdquo

Working on their personal billboards and striving to be the best will also help Soldiers have a better chance of staying in the Army as it downsizes Dailey said He offered his advice to Soldiers and NCOs looking to take charge of their careers

ldquoIrsquoll tell you that you can start first and foreshymost by listening to your noncommissioned officer every dayrdquo Dailey said ldquoDo good PT and keep yourself physically fit When you get the opporshytunity to go to a military school stay in it and study hard Strive to be in the top 10 percent of every school you go to You should want to if you want to maintain that edge over your peers Those are the things you have to go afterrdquo
