Show 1 r--. 2 n. f The Sampler, March 27, 1986 7rWiling civilianis ne by Rick Fulton VVhat if a certain country became involved in a war, and the army that had signed up to defend it decided at the last minute not to come? n at Dugway came up with a special .extra effort to have a recreation program say, a shopping trip to Provo and only a small percentage of the folks who said they - would go were waiting in the parking lot when the WhatJf-alTorganizatio- - bus pulled up? Sure, its a recreational situation, but the point is that people committed themselves they gave their word that they would make use of the service being provided. Since people signed up and didn't go, the program has become an entry on the endangered species list, and may not survive. How much better it would have been for 100 percent of the people who signed up to go, even if they were vitally-importa- - but a few. True, there are many different circumstances which require all of us to. pull back sometimes from commitments. And sometimes without meaning to do so, we over commit ourselves. But let's go back to the first question, a question that very much deals with national defense. In the case of the American Army, regardless of ' circumstances, its going to be up on the bulwarks guarding our freedom, regardless of the enemy situation. .The Army has never failed this country, . and that specifically includes Vietnam which was lost in the streets of Chicago and other American cities, and not in the Ashau Valley or anyplace else in Southeast Asia. - Yet, in spite of its record of successfully defend- ing freedom for well over 200 years, Army soldiers have more than once been failed by the citizens by Ellen Williams "Be Prepared" is the Boy Scout motto.

It is important. To the folks running the class, what you presented is good but how about some words from the company commander and the first sergeant the next time you offer the program; and what about having the JAG explain the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and someone from training to talk about that important subject?

Taking time to attend scout camp for a week with 3 year old's is not an ideal trip. However, he weathered it valiantly. Above all, we appreciate the personal example that Haley has shown the boys.

Military officers, diplomats, and leaders in all walks of life still display with pride the fact they were Eagle scouts. Today, I would like to pay tribute to the many, adult volunteers who give generously of their time and talents to building the youth of America. In at Dugway cludes every soldier particular I would like to pay tribute to LTC Richard Haley. Many on post would know him as the XO or as the rock hound, or the wood worker at the craft shop.

That means a "dvilianization" of our Army in a lot of support areas, and it also means that every effort must be made by everyone in the Army, including civilians, to identify the people who would be good combat leaders and also to identify those who would not. Learning the proper way to do that was one of the reasons for the class. We all have our prejudices. I have a serious one, and it is AGAINST people in the Army, in uniform or not, who equate being an infantryman with a piece of granite in terms of intelligence. To be an infantryman requires hard work, stress, tired and aching muscles and it requires mathematical abilities, social science skills, management knowledge as well as one heck of a lot of street smarts, discipline, common sense and guts. Those who sell being an infantryman short obviously haven't looked at the requirements for that job lately. ur - That's why soldiers aren't in our offices and shops 40 hours a week. Part of that normal work period, plus a lot of other hours as well are spent polishing and practicing the craft of being a soldier. It's a hard job and a hard life. A soldier is an infantryman as a soldier 24 hours a day, seven .days a week, 365 days a year.

The end strength of our Army will remain the same, probably, for some time to come. But world conditions demand a stronger Army in terms of being able to fight limited wars. That is the importance of the new light diversion initiative. It means that the PFC in your office and mine, should they join the Army tomorrow, would then , n li n I eac SOa ers f7 they protect. Some of those failures have been ex- -, tremely noticeable, and others have been less so. One of the "less, so" variety took place right here March 19.

Civilians supervising soldiers. . . "leading" soldiers? Exactly right, and it is a situation that has been around for a long time but which has been only addressed by Department of the Army. As you read this, you need to know that there are some civilians leading groups of soldiers in many different types of endeavors wherever the U.S. Army hangs its hat and that includes Korea,, Geiv many and Panama, as well as Dugway. So why is it important, you say to yourself, adding that you've known lots of people in uniform who have never cared one whit about your career, its management, or the stresses and pressures of .'the job. Well, the people in uniform here understand that and a class is being prepared simiilar to the one the major and the sergeant first class conducted March 19.
