REDSTONE -HUNTSVILLEC H A P T E R

Winner AUSA "Best Chapter of the Year" 12 times in the last 13 years

They don’t wear a uniform, but they are still a vital part of the Army team.

More than 330,000 men and women, in 500 different professions across the globe, serve in the Army Civilian Service. Local civil servants were saluted April 4 at the annual Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army DA Civilians of the Year Awards Din-ner. Redstone leadership, local officials and members of AUSA gathered at the Jackson Center to recognize government civilians who go above and beyond in their professions. This year’s dinner saw the addition of two new categories: Department of Defense and Non-Ap-propriated Funds.

2015 DA Civilian of the Year recipient James John-son, deputy to the commander for Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, served as keynote speaker for the evening.

“I truly consider what we do a profession, and not just a job to make money. … Being a DA civilian is a calling to public service and there are expectations re-lated to behavior and work ethic,” Johnson said.

Johnson issued a request to his fellow civilians in at-tendance.

“I challenge all of our civil servants to not remain stagnant, to continue to grow and learn and remain relevant to the needs of our military,” he said. “The world has changed. The overmatch that the Army has enjoyed for the last 70 years is closing quickly. We are challenged in every domain of warfare. … The military needs our civilians as much as ever to help tackle these challenges.”

Robert L. Moore was named overall 2017 Civilian of the Year from the 26 nominees. As he was out of the country, Moore accepted his award via previously re-

corded speech broadcast to the audience.“Duty calls and I am on the road, doing Army busi-

ness,” Moore, Security Assistance Command deputy director to the commanding general, said.

The winners from the six categories were Moore, Management/Executive; Anthony Samuels, Technical/Technical Management; Pamela Lang, Professional/Technical; Melissa Cooper, Supporting Staff; Joe Little, Department of Defense; and Esther Davidson, Non-Appropriated Funds.

The following nominees in each category were recog-nized during the dinner:

• Management/Executive: Moore, Dr. Myra Gray,

Rebecca Weirick.• Technical/Technical Management: Samuels, Joshua

Call, Kendall Cunningham, Claudinette Purifoy-Fears, Larry Tarr, Steven Miller, Kimberly Gillespie, Kevin Creekmore, Barbara Cantrell.

• Professional/Technical: Lang, Daniel Stewart, Re-becca Shelton, Christopher Fewell, Kevin Osterbauer, Roberta Hauck, John Towers.

• Supporting Staff: Cooper, Teolonda Miller, Carol Garth.

• Department of Defense: Little, Jodi Gott.• Non-Appropriated Funds: Davidson, Francine

Stone.

2 AUSA Salute July 2017

Winter and Spring 2017 were full of activities for your Redstone-Huntsville chapter as we supported Soldiers, Army Families, and De-partment of the Army Civilians across North Alabama. Our chapter programs are driven by the needs of our chapter membership. Many of them are the result of an identified need within our area of responsibil-ity; all of our professional develop-ment, networking, and service op-portunities have the primary purpose of Connecting America with her Army.

A very special thanks to our chap-ter volunteers who supported our Spring and Summer activities:

Memorial Day Army BirthdayTeam Redstone in the ParkArmed Forces Celebration Week

During the recent Army Birthday Dinner Celebra-tion on June 16th we hosted our annual General Membership Meeting and Election of Officers. The Association’s National VP for Membership and Meet-ings, LTG(R) Patricia McQuistion, presided over the

installation of officers and offered thanks to the chapter membership from GEN(R) Carter Ham, the As-sociation’s President. I am pleased to welcome our new Chapter Presi-dent Sam Torrey and the new offi-cers and board members who will lead the chapter for the coming op-erating year July 2017 – June 2018. Sam previously held positions on the chapter executive committee as the VP for Special Activities and Ex-ecutive VP.

My personal thanks to all of the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter officers and members who have supported our programs and efforts over the last two years. Together with Team Red-stone and the entire community we continue to provide outstanding sup-port for our Soldiers, Army Families, and Army Civilians. A special note of appreciation to Greg Potts – An-

niston “Gallant Pelham” Satellite Chapter President, Leo Gilliland – YP Sub-chapter President, Nic Britto – West Alabama Sub-chapter President, and Dave Seay – Alabama State President.

During the last two years the chapter has signifi-cantly expanded our support to ROTC and JROTC programs (Global Force Symposium ROTC Day andLuncheon), added the Young Professional and the WestAlabama Sub-chapters, and strengthened our relation-ship with Army National Guard and Army Reserve units through the ESGR program. We also expandedthe categories for the very successful Department of theArmy Civilian of the Year Awards program by addingcategories for Department of Defense and Non-Ap-propriated Fund employees. Our professional develop-ment offering has expanded to partnering with DefenseAcquisition University and simulcasting the AUSA Hot Topics.

Our individual and corporate membership is thefoundation of the chapter and provides the resourcesof time, talent, and treasure to facilitate everything thechapter accomplishes. In December 2016 we announcedthe “Drive for Five” membership initiative in conjunc-tion with the national association goal of achieving100,000 members by 1 January 2018. The chapter hasmade significant strides in individual membership add-ing over 450 individual members this past year; currentindividual membership is 2,801 and we have 269 cor-porate members. I challenge every chapter member toidentify and sponsor one other potential member andhelp the chapter achieve 5,000 members in the next twoyears.

Innovative Technological Solutions for the 21st Century

By JASON CUTSHAWSMDC/ARSTRAT Public Affairs

Speaking to the local missile defense community, the Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Com-mand’s leader talked about how the Army is looking to identify the next leap ahead, game changing technology and concept to provide dominant space and missile defense capabilities.

Lt. Gen. James Dickinson, commander of the Space and Missile Defense Com-mand/Army Forces Strategic Command, addressed the 18th Association of the U.S. Army Missile Symposium in Huntsville, April 11.

Panels at the symposium focused on the topics of innovation, capability develop-ment, rapid transfer, key technology, and prioritization, as well as current capability gaps.

“There is an old and familiar saying that the adversary always has a vote,” Dickinson said. “From a missile defense perspective, the threats posed by our adversaries are growing increasingly more complex, unpredictable, mobile and survivable.”

Dickinson said nearly 30 countries have ballistic missile capability and numerous countries are also developing ground, sea

and air-launched land-attack cruise missiles utilizing an assortment of unconventional and inexpensive launch platforms.

He added that hypersonic boost glide ca-pabilities are emerging and the nation must continue to leverage technology to stay ahead of this emerging threat, as well as un-manned aircraft systems threats continue to increase in sophistication and numbers.

“These emerging threats highlight the need for operational and tactical command-ers to have situational awareness of strategic space operations, but also the ability to em-ploy lower level space capabilities to mitigate a degraded, denied and disrupted space envi-ronment and facilitate opening windows of opportunity to create multiple dilemmas for

the enemy,” Dickinson said. “Our adversar-ies’ ability to create an anti-access and area-denial environment makes today’s operating environment among the most challenging we have faced since the Cold War.

“Today’s operational environment in-cludes changes in the character of war high-lighted by increased lethality and potential overmatch, and friendly forces being con-tested in all domains including space and missile defense.”

Dickinson then talked about the objective of the Army’s high energy laser science and technology efforts to develop ruggedized la-ser system components and integrate them onto an Army vehicle. He added that a solid-state laser weapon system has the potential to be a low-cost and effective complement to kinetic energy capabilities in countering rockets, artillery and mortars, UASs and other threats.

Another effort, in terms of providing in-novative and cost-effective solutions, is the command’s low-cost target development.

“Over the past year, we completed de-tailed designs for three new short range bal-listic missile targets leveraging existing excess solid rocket motors,” Dickinson said. “This effort could possibly save millions of dollars for missile defense testing by providing tar-gets at low cost.”

Dickinson said that in 2014, the Army chief of staff designated SMDC as the Army air and missile defense enterprise integrator to integrate and synchronize efforts. He went into detail on how satellite communications is not only a key enabler for missile defense, but of most Army operations.

Dickinson explained how the command operates five Wideband Satellite Commu-nication, or SATCOM, Operations Centers around the globe providing payload control and network control for Department of De-fense communications satellites.

“These communication links are a vital part of missile warning and missile defense,” he said. “They also play a role by providing communications for situational awareness for warfighters in theater.”

He also mentioned how SMDC’s four Regional SATCOM Support Centers as-sist in the planning of the communications links for possible missile warning data that is transmitted over ultra-high frequency and super high frequency SATCOM.

“It is incumbent upon all of us to examine ways to counter the ever growing space and missile threat and the dynamics of the opera-tional environment,” Dickinson said. “I can’t emphasize enough about the importance of our continued collaboration and our part-nerships.”

Strategic leader describes the growing space, missile threat


The Redstone-Huntsville Chapter served as the host for the 2017 Third Region Meeting, March 9-11th.

Chapter presidents and delegates from across the southeastern United States converged on Huntsville for the annual meeting chaired by Third Re-gion President Kris McBride. AUSA’s Third Region includes the states of Al-abama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina, plus Panama, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Association’s Presi-dent GEN(Ret) Carter Ham and Vice President for Membership and Meet-ings LTG(Ret) Pat McQuistion along with several national staff members provided overviews and insights into Soldier and family programs.

Several panel discussions focused on volunteers, chapter officer selection and training, promoting membership, and support to U.S. Army Recruiting Command. The business sessions and training were held at chapter corporate member Sheraton Four Points located at the Huntsville International Airport.

One of the highlights of the two and half-days was a visit to Headquarters Army Materiel Command where at-tendees received an overview of the command’s mission and capabilities. Following this visit a tour of Redstone Arsenal and the Veterans Memorial concluded with the Region President’s Reception held at the Alabama Center for Military History (aka the Veterans Museum). After reviewing the exhib-its the Kris McBride presented awards and honors to chapters and region vol-unteers to include the following from Redstone-Huntsville:

In addition to the individual awards best chapter awards were given to the top chapters in the region. Your Red-stone-Huntsville Chapter received not only the Best Chapter Award – Large Chapter for 2017 but also was present-ed the Region Meeting Host streamer.

The culmination of the region meet-ing was on Saturday evening, March 11th, a Huntsville business executive received the AUSA Third Region’s highest award at the annual MG Rob-ert F. Cocklin Award Dinner. Mr. A.R. (Rey) Almodovar, co-founder and chief executive officer of Intuitive Research and Technology Corp., ac-cepted the Robert F. Cocklin Award. The award is presented each year to an individual who has made significant contributions to the U.S. Army and the

nation. It is named in honor of the late Maj. Gen. Robert F. Cocklin, a long-time past president of the Association of the United States Army.

Almodovar founded Intuitive in 1999 to provide management, technical and engineering services to the Depart-ment of Defense and the commercial industry. Prior to founding Intuitive, he served for 14 years as a civilian em-ployee for the U.S. Army.

Almodovar is a mentor of the youth and active in the Hunstville commu-nity. He serves on the board of direc-tors of the National Children’s Advo-cacy Center, the Business Council of Alabama and the Huntsville Hospital Foundation.

Intuitive is a leader in industrial and mechanical systems, electrical engineer-ing, business management, systems analysis and programmatic support. The company has been named as one of the Best Places to Work by the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Com-merce for the last eight years. Intuitive was named by Military Times as one of the top 10 “Best for Vets” employers.

In other awards, AUSA Alabama Pres-ident Dave Seay received the Earl L. Denton Soldier of the Year Award. The award recognizes an individual from one of the region’s chapters that provides support to AUSA through volun-teering at the chapter, regional or national level. Jim Rountree, vice president for Family Programs in the Redstone-Huntsville chapter, and his wife Carolyn received the Brenda M. Dougherty AUSA Lifetime of Service Award. The award is presented annually to an AUSA Third Region member(s) that has demonstrated a lifetime of dedicated service to AUSA through their volunteer efforts at the chapter, state and/or regional levels.

Colonel (Retired) Robert English chaired the chapter’s planning and execution of the Region Meeting. The meet-ing was held on the eve of the Global Force Symposium which generated additional complexities. Bob was publicly thanked during the meeting but deserves special mention here for the months’ long prepara-tions.

The Redstone-Huntsville Chapter and the entire North Alabama community wel-comed back industry and military leaders for the fourth year of the Association’s Global Force Symposium and Exhibition.

The 2017 AUSA ILW Global Force Symposium & Exposition was a three-day event that included presentations from the United States Army Materiel Com-mand, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Ac-quisition, Logistics and Technology). The symposium explored the capabilities out-lined in the Army Operating Concept and

how the force transforms from being adap-tive to driving innovation for Force 2025 and beyond. Special guest presentations coupled with panel discussions from our senior mili-tary and industry leaders, addressed critical points of acquisition, research and develop-ment, and partnering between military and industry. For the Army, this means restruc-turing military-industrial programs. The Army must take a hard look at its acquisition processes, with an eye towards the future, in order to continue maintaining a competitive overmatch against potential adversaries.

Did not have a chance to make it down to the VBC for the Symposium? Check out

https://www.ausa.org/events/global-force-symposium-and-exposition-2017 to down-load the presentations.

The chapter provided several networking opportunities for attendees. After Day 1 concluded the Young Professionals were in-vited to the YP Networking event at Straight to Ale. Thanks to our YP Sub-Chapter Pres-ident and his committee for a great event. The evening of Day 2 we hosted the 4th An-nual Rocket City Bash at The Westin Hotel (a chapter corporate member) where nearly 700 gathered for food, fun, and fellowship. Attendees enjoyed the music of Juice later in the evening. Chapter Board Member Scott

Thompson led the preparations for theseyear’s Bash which was a great success. Hiscommittee of volunteers ensured everyonehad a good time.

When was the last time you took a good inventory of yourself? You may be asking why you would need to do this. Well, anytime you go on a journey, you need to know your starting point or where you are along the way. Whether you are going on a journey of self-discovery or a path of growth and development, you need to know your current status.

In my case, I am on a growth and development journey. To best know where I need to grow and how to best development myself, I need to know where I am. One of my mentors, Paul Martinelli, President of the John Maxwell Team, recently taught us a lesson on self-inventory. He gave us five steps to take in this process. As yourself:

1 Am I entering into this process of self-inventory from a place of awareness or a place of judgment?

If you keep a scoreboard on yourself, you are going to find areas with flaws. But when we look at these areas in judgment, we tend to be too hard on our-selves and not take the appropriate actions to get better and grow. You don’t have to be brutally honest, just honest with yourself. When you find these areas with flaws try saying, “isn’t that interesting.”

When you come from a position of awareness, you come from: compassion, faith, a spirit of gentleness, and an expectation that you are going to find areas of fault. With this awareness, we can position ourselves from an observer point of view and can better determine the areas where we need to work.

2. Am I being honest in taking 100% responsibility for what I did and what I did not do?

With this question we move beyond the blame game. Until you are willing to take 100% responsibility, you are requiring that outside sources change for your conditions and circumstances to change. Self-inventory is a “you and you” deal.

3. Am I crystal clear on my purpose, vision, goal, and plan?

You should be able to describe these so that someone can recite them back toyou with the same clarity you have in your own mind. Examine your purpose,vision and goal by asking: Has anything changed structurally? Have I enteredinto a new season? Is there some new awareness? Has anything changed or do Ineed to change? Many people lower their dream to match their unwillingnessto grow.

4. Have I used and am I using all the resources available to me, both inside ofme and outside of me?

Here is your opportunity to take inventory of the resources available to you.Be honest about whether you are using the resources or now. Are you resistingusing and developing these resources? And is so, how? Am you afraid to askfor help? Am you resisting investing in your growth? Am you afraid of failure?Am you unwilling to do the hard work? Am you facing some inner resistancebecause of a limiting belief?

5. What are the things that I know I need to do, that I know I should do, Iknow I could do and if I would do it would move me in the right direction andwhat is my plan to do that this month?

This is the action part of your self-inventory. After getting a good sense ofwhere you currently are, what resources are available to you and validating yourpurpose, vision and goal, you can layout your path forward.

Whether you are starting a journey or just need a location check to makeadjustments, these questions and the reflection they cause can help you to gofarther and go faster toward becoming a better you.

Leader to the Core: 5 Steps to take inventory of yourself

February 23, 2017 - The Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of AUSA partnered with the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) South Region and the DAU Alumni Association in sponsoring the very successful DAU South Acquisition Update. On February 23, the one day 5th Annual Acquisition Update was held, reaching the largest response to date with almost 2,000 participants from the military, DoD civilian and industry community. There were just over 400 participants on the DAU South campus and another 1,500 on line from across the country and around the world, including 41 states, the District of Columbia, England, and Germany.

Participants were able to choose from 24 different 90-minute sessions. This year’s theme was “Improving the professionalism of our acquisition workforce by ensuring we have the problem solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills that achieve better acquisition outcomes.”

This is one of several civilian focused events supported by the Redstone-Hunts-ville Chapter. Dr. Steven Messervy, Redstone-Huntsville Chapter Vice-President for Civilian Affairs summarized the successful event as another great outreach event for the chapter and stated the great majority of feedback from participants has been very positive as well as of great continuing educational benefit.
