December 2010

Governor Carcieri,

It is with great pride that I submit the 2010 Annual Report for the Rhode Island National Guard (RING) andthe Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) to you on behalf of the outstanding men andwomen of both those organizations.

As the state’s most leveraged federally funded agency, I am happy to report that both the RING and RIEMAhave continued to be responsible stewards of their federal and state budgets and have managed to accom-plish their unique dual missions in service of both the State and Country. As you peruse this report, I amconfident you will note their successes!

During fiscal year 2010, the Rhode Island National Guard deployed over 400 Soldiers and Airmen, bringingthe total deployments since September 11, 2001 to over 5,000. In 2011, with operational tempo on the rise,800 Rhode Island guard members have been scheduled for deployment.

On a state level, the historic floods of March and April 2010 tested the readiness, capabilities and resolve ofboth organizations. 604 RING members answered the call to state active duty through the 24 hour RINGJoint Operations Center to work with RIEMA in assisting federal, state and local agencies throughout thestate. The success of the flood operations is a clear testament to the dedication and commitment of every-one involved.

I am also proud to report that both agencies had a combined FY2010 economic impact of over $207 millionwith an additional $90+ million in multi-year military construction projects in various stages of completion.The impact these federal funds have on the Rhode Island economy, as a result of these organization’sefforts, cannot be under-stated.

In conclusion Governor, The Rhode Island National Guard and the Rhode Island Emergency ManagementAgency are both outstanding investments for the State of Rhode Island and act as an economic engine!We remain ready, relevant, reliable, and accessible organizations for both the citizens of this great Stateand our Country! Always ready, always there.

Sincerely,

Major General Robert T. BrayThe Adjutant GeneralCommanding General, Rhode Island National Guard

143AWSARC2
Page 6: Rhode Island National Guard's 2010 Annual Report

adversely impact our troop levels and their capabilities here inthe state. This could have a long-term impact on our ability torespond to a state emergency with at least the same levels oftroops and capabilities which we possess today.

In short, given all that is occurring within the Department ofDefense with respect to transformation of the Army and Air Force,and the transformation of the National Guard from a strategicreserve force to an operational force and full partner in the war-fight, it is critically important for Rhode Island’s Adjutant Generalto be fully involved in these discussions at the highest levels ofthe National Guard Bureau and department of Defense.

MMIISSSSIIOONNIn May 2005, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau(NGB) signed a Memorandum of Agreement with theUnder Secretaries for Health and Benefits, Departmentof Veterans Affairs (DVA), solidifying a partnershipbetween NGB and DVA. The hallmark of this partner-ship remains the continued access to all NationalGuard (NG) Veterans and their Families by the DVA aspart of its outreach program. Additionally, the partner-ship’s primary goal remains the education of all NGVeterans and their Families regarding their DVA bene-fits and services and how to access them. To this end,the TAA serves as the state-wide point of contact andcoordinator for the easy access to those benefits andservices.

While NGB initially designed the TAA Program to serveNG members and their Families, the TAA also providesthe same support and assistance to all members of theArmed Forces, both active and reserve, Veterans, andtheir Families. This support includes assisting them inaccessing DVA healthcare facilities, obtaining servicesthrough the Military Health System (TRICARE), and inapplying for other DVA services and benefits, such ascompensation and pension for disability, insurance,loan guarantee, vocational rehabilitation/employment,and education benefits. The TAA also engages withother Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) staff membersand the Family Assistance Center in building a statecoalition of support with the DVA and communityorganizations, which benefit all service members,Veterans and their Families.

State Coalition Model

The state coalition is a model that ties together theresources of the Department of Defense, the DVA, theNG, and state/local community resources in an effort toensure NG members and their Families receive all thesupport, benefits and services available to them.Unlike active duty service members who return to aspecific military base with on site support and servicesfor themselves and their Families, members of thereserve components return to their communities andcivilian employment. The state coalition provides acommunity based network of support, which includesDVA, NG, and state/local community organizations toassist all service members, Veterans and families atthe local level.

Assisted more than 203 Veterans with their DVA claims in atimely manner.

Visited with every unit in the Rhode Island National Guard(RING) at least once.

Initiated three new approaches to better market the TAAProgram within Rhode Island.

Insured that all RING members met with someone from theProvidence DVA Medical Center, the Providence RegionalOffice, and the Warwick Vet Center during their in-state demo-bilization soldier readiness processing (SRP).

Coordinated and assisted in the 100% enrollment/reenrollmentof all demobilizing RING members in the DVA health care sys-tem.

Provided mobilization and demobilizing briefings to all mem-bers of the RING on available services and benefits. Referred 506 service members, Veterans and Family membersto the DVA and state coalition partners.

Presented 130 briefings to more than 2300 service members,Veterans, Family members, and State Coalition Partners.Assisted myriad of service members, Veterans, Family mem-bers, and State Coalition Partners via 1165 telephone calls,4511 emails and 553 one-on-one encounters.

There are over 900 employers in Rhode Island who haveemployees serving part-time in the military. The nation con-tinues to rely heavily on part-time Reserve Forces for home-land security, disaster response, and international peace-keeping resulting in employees continuing to spend moretime away from their civilian workplaces. The mission of theRhode Island Committee for Employer Support of the Guardand Reserve is to support these employers through educa-tion, compliance assistance, and recognition. RI ESGR iscomprised of full-time staff and volunteers who are trainedto help prevent and reduce the number of employer/employee problems that may result from militarymembership.

Rhode Island ESGR LeadershipChairman of RIESGR is Colonel (Retired) John Burns, USArmy, is the Director, Homeland Security Group at Rite-Solutions, Inc. of Middletown, RI, a Service-DisabledVeteran-Owned Small Business in the Defense IT businesssector. Mr. Burns’ extensive experience in the military aswell as his leadership roles in the private sector positionshim well to ensure this essential alliance remains strong. Hehas an impressive list of both domestic and internationalmilitary assignments. Mr. Burns is a combat veteran whohas been awarded the Purple Heart, the Legion of Merit, theBronze Star Medal, and the Combat Action Badge.

Employer Outreach, Education & EventsRI ESGR sponsors a variety of formal and informal outreachsessions and events with employers each year. Employerswho receive assistance from ESGR with the UniformedServices and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) aremore likely to achieve full compliance. In addition, under-standing rights and responsibilities helps minimize conflictwith employers who graciously share their employees insupport of the country’s National Defense. Lastly, employerswho are exposed more directly to elements of the NationalGuard and Reserve – those that essentially become ‘insid-ers’ - are more likely to value the experience gained by theiremployees during their military training and deployments.

Human Resources Partnerships Outreach events involved a Statement of Support Signingwith the Society for Human Resources Professionals(SHRM) and USERRA Briefings with the International PublicManagement Association for Human Resources (IPMA).

777 Howitzers “Bosslift”Employers of Rhode Island’s103rd Field Artillery Battalionwere able to witness on-site train-ing for their employees while alsobeing recognized for their out-standing support.

Leadership Rhode IslandThis group of key business and civic leaders received a full-day military orientation. During this event, participantsreceived a C-130J check ride and tours of the CoastGuard Cutter Katherine Walker and the USS MasonDestroyer. By exposing this unique cross-section of busi-ness leaders each year, the message of employer sup-port remains wide spread.

Leapfest35 employers and civic leaders received a firsthand aerialview of military paratroopers from across the globe duringLeapfest. Leapfest, held at the University of RhodeIsland, is the largest and oldest continually run interna-tional military parachute competition in the world.Employer Winter Recognition Breakfast45 employers were recognized and exposed to a varietyof military simulators at Camp Fogarty. The initiativeserves to expose these supportive employers to the train-ing and capabilities of their Guard and Reserve employ-ees.

Employer Awards ProgramIndividual military service members have an opportunityto nominate their employers for a Patriotic EmployerAward. Rhode Island has always had a wealth of support-ive employers. This year Amica Mutual Insurance,Ximedica and Patrick Lynch were semi-finalists for TheFreedom Award, the highest recognition give to civiliancompanies for their support of their Guard and ReserveEmployees.

Military Outreach and Education

In addition to working with employers, RIESGR works directly with members of all mili-tary branches providing guidance on employerrelations and USERRA compliance. Close to500 military service members received educa-tional briefings during pre- or post-mobilizationevents, annual unit training programs andYellow Ribbon Events. Another 75 membersrequested more specific information and prob-lem solving from the RI ESGR office and threemembers opted for informal mediation throughthe ESGR ombudsman program.

The Road Ahead

With the Reserve Forces continuing to play anoperational role in international conflicts andhomeland security, each state’s ESGR fieldcommittee has an important job to do.Employers, military commanders, and ESGRmust work cooperatively together to ensuresuccessful outcomes for private and publicsector employers as well ensuring that Guardand Reserve units remains highly trained andeffective.

The National Guard Bureau Counter Drug Program is part ofthe United States of America's national drug control strategy.As initially authorized by the President and Congress in 1989,the Department of Defense provides funds on a yearly basisto governors of states who submit plans specifying how thatstate's National Guard is to be used to support drug interdic-tion and counter-drug activities. Such operations are conduct-ed under the command and control of the state governor, andnot in a federal military status.

The Rhode Island Counterdrug Support Program is com-prised of four sections: Drug Interdiction, Drug DemandReduction, Substance Abuse, and the Prevention, Treatmentand Outreach Coordinator. RING has had a CounterdrugProgram since 2992. Since this time, the program has assist-ed the state’s efforts in combating the menacing effects ofdrugs on the population. The Counterdrug Program has anannual budget of approximately $1.2 million and a staff thatranged from 11-17 Soldiers and Airmen.

Criminal Intel AnalystsThe Rhode Island National Guard had six analysts imbeddedwithin the following agencies as they work on drug relatedcrimes in Rhode Island: FBI, DEA, ATF, RISP, the High inten-sity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force (HIDTA) and theProvidence Police Department. Here are some of the statisti-cal results from our work:

Drug Demand ReductionThe Drug Demand Reduction (DDR) Program’s missioncontinues to be to promote drug education and aware-ness to Rhode Island’s youth. Five DDR Sergeants pre-sented classroom instruction in either the “Brainstorm”program aimed at 5th Grade students, or ” Stay onTrack,” an evidence based, nationally recognized pro-gram that meets the national education standards inHealth, Language Arts, and Life Science that is deliveredin Rhode Island to 6th Grade students. Approximately900 students in communities such as Warwick,Cranston, Coventry, Scituate, South Kingstown,Glocester and Bristol were introduced to these programsand to our positive role models.

Joint Substance Abuse Program (JSAP)To contribute to a drug-free workplace, the Rhode IslandNational Guard administers and oversees the JointSubstance Abuse Program. All members of the RhodeIsland National Guard are subject to random, unan-nounced testing throughout the year. Guardsmen in cer-tain specialties or job categories such as aviators andmilitary police are subject to mandatory testing.

Prevention Treatment and Outreach ProgramThis program was instituted in 2008 to provideresources for substance abuse and mental health treat-ment and education. The mission is to provide preven-tion training, outreach to military families, and treatmentresources to increase military discipline, individual per-formance and combat readiness.

The PTO program can provide a variety of resources tohelp Soldiers, airmen, and family members with alcoholand drug dependencies as well as mental health needs.The program’s Prevention Coordinator (PC) works withcommunity based treatment providers within the state tofind the best treatment located near members home ofresidence; in many cases the PC can also find financialassistance for those in need. In addition to treatmentneeds the PTO program can also provided trainingmaterials to assist in meeting the required awarenesstraining for service members.

In FY 2010, SSG Stephanie Riotte, PC, helped 42Soldiers and their families, forged relationships withover 27 community agencies, and has educated hun-dreds of Soldiers, Airmen and their leaders in substanceabuse and mental health resources.

Fixed Wing Activity

Operating the C-12 Huron, a twin turbine, fully pressurized util-ity airplane, Detachment 23 flew approximately 570 flight hoursin FY 10. This included transporting over 2,000 personnel and123,000 pounds of cargo. In addition, throughout FY10Detachment 23 also:

• Supported the Joint Partnership program between theBahamian Nationals and the State of Rhode Island EmergencyManagement Program. This program encompassed crosstraining in all aspects of the Army National Guard with theRoyal Bahamian Naval Defense Force.

•Flew several missions in support of the Wounded WarriorProject. This project provides programs and services toseverely injured service members.

•Regularly conducted government courier missions, transport-ing thousands of pounds of critical cargo and documents alongthe Eastern United States.

•Supported Task Force ODIN (Observe, Detect, Identify,Neutralize) South in Afghanistan by training and transportingpilots within the continental United States prior to their deploy-ment.

Detachment 23s’ C-12 carries up to eight passengers and hasa cargo capacity of 56 cubic feet. It can be used to transportpatients on medical evacuation litters. Detachment 23 is one ofapproximately 50 small units designed to directly support theOperational Support Airlift Agency, executing worldwide mis-sions in support of wartime, Homeland Defense, and peace-time contingency requirements.

During FY10, D-126th Theater Aviation Company continued tosupport state side missions flying over 365 hours with one air-craft. The detachment moved 1674 passengers, and 38,440lbs of cargo, and equipment in addition to supportingParachute operations and military Open House activities. Inaddition, the unit provided operational support airlift to the 1-126th GSAB, RI National Guard/Bahamian State Partnershipprogram, Joint Task Force Guantanamo, several SpecialForces Groups, US Army SOG Parachute Demonstration team“Black Daggers”, 101st Airborne Division ParachuteDemonstration Team, Indiana National Guard OCS class staffride, as well as other scheduled and unscheduled OSAA andJOSAC missions.

The C-23B Sherpa aircraft is a twin turbine-engine, light mili-tary transport aircraft, designed to operate efficiently, evenunder the most arduous conditions, in a wide range of missionconfigurations. The large square-section hold, with excellentaccess at both ends, offers ready flexibility to perform ord-nance movement, troop & equipment transport, airborne/air-drop missions, and medical evacuation..

Aviation Maintenance

Mission Essential Modifications Completed MissionEssential Modifications on five UH-60A aircraft. Thisprocess involved taking five unequipped UH-60’s andconverting them into medical evacuation (MEDEVAC)helicopters fully configured to meet current missionequipment requirements for aircraft operating inAfghanistan. A unique challenge associated with theseupgrades was having to complete all of the mainte-nance required for the modifications at remote installa-tions, (Fort Campbell, KY and Hunter AAF, GA). Thislevel of effort was unprecedented. Normal AASF opera-tions would allow this work to be completed at homestation, but the lack of hanger space due to the newAASF construction projected prevented this. Thereforeaviation maintenance had to assemble fly away teamscomposed of aircraft mechanics, avionics techniciansand test pilots and send them to the remote installa-tions to complete the work. This in itself was a complextask requiring multitudes of mixed organic transporta-tion support comprised of the units own UH-60’s, C12and C23 aircraft to move crews, parts, test equipmentand tools.

Airframe Evaluation Condition (ACE)

Conducted and completed back to back AirframeEvaluation Condition (ACE) inspections and all of therequired follow on maintenance associated with thefindings of the team. This aggressive plan was instru-mented to front load as much heavy maintenance aspossible the year prior to F Co 1-126th GSAB MEDE-VAC deployment scheduled for January 2011. This planwas developed to posture F Co with the ability to focuson their critical flight training with no significant impactfrom maintenance. Normally theses evaluations areconducted once every 12 calendar months to give theunit time that is needed to recover from the in-depthlevel of airframe specific repairs usually required follow-ing the evaluation. This action forced the Maintenanceteam to take on Depot level repairs that required theremoval and reinstallation of the complete tail Pylonassemblies from five different aircraft.

143AWSARC2
27
Page 28: Rhode Island National Guard's 2010 Annual Report

This is well above and beyond the level of maintenanceAASF’s are required to perform, however these repairswhere required prior to sending the aircraft out for the pre-viously mentioned modifications. The only way to meet theaggressive time line prior to mobilization was to take on thework in house.

During all of this, the aviation maintenance team kept theairfield open during periods of unusually heavy winter snowstorms while lacking adequate snow removal equipment.Aircraft mechanics worked around the clock to stay aheadof the storms, which allowed Army Aviation the ability tolaunch MEDEVAC or Homeland Defense support aircrafton a moment’s notice.

Conducted sustainment maintenance under austere condi-tions. During the great flood of March 2010, aviation main-tenance maintained a heightened readiness level requiredto support the high OPTEMPO needed for flood response.A flooded ramp, limited availability of maintenance person-nel and inconsistent logistic support were just a few of thechallenges met to keep aircraft flying.

Current Operations and Required Daily Maintenance

Combined with additional deployment needs and aircrafttransfers, was the high OPTEMPO of the yearly flight train-ing schedule and associated maintenance needs that comewith it. The maintenance team performed over 12“120Hour” intense inspections, Four sets of the 48 monthinspections, multiple component repairs and replacements,and maintenance for additional mission requirements insupport of over 1,900 flight hours. All this was completedwithin the confines of limited space due to a hangar con-struction project and breaks in funding of critical parts andtools longer then we have ever seen in recent history. Partsrequisitions went unfunded and unfilled from 7 May through30 June 2010, even for deploying units with the highest pri-ority- making it very difficult to collectively train.

Safety

The RIARNG safety office is committed to providing allsafety resources necessary for Soldiers and Airmenthroughout the command to conduct their duties in asafe and risk mitigated manner. Initiatives from the safe-ty office for this fiscal year include:

•10 Workplace Safety Inspections completed.

•Four Convoy Safety inspections conducted.

•Four Motorcycle Safety training programs initiated which includes free beginner and advanced motor-cycle training for properly licensed Soldiers.

•12 month preparation for the Forces CommandAviation Resource Management Survey.

•Nine off-airport aviation site safety surveys con-ducted in support of Rhode Island andMassachusetts ROTC training, Rhode Island UrbanSearch and Rescue and Rhode Island NationalGuard support organizations

•Reinvigorated safety award/incentive program.

•Continuous safety training program conducted forfacility employees with monthly safety meetings andtraining and quarterly safety council meetings.

•Renewed program ensuring the distribution of theproper Personal Protective Equipment for facilityemployees.

•Aggressive Safety education and awareness pro-gram initiated with quality posters, banners and electronicadvertisements

The J5 develops, promulgates, and coordinatesstrategic policy, plans, initiatives and concepts relat-ed to war-fighting, transformation, State PartnershipProgram, federal/state homeland security,Interagency/Intergovernmental coordination, civilsupport missions, and selected other activities forthe Rhode Is-land National Guard. Additionally, theJ5 serves as the legislative liaison (LL) for theRhode Island National Guard. The LL provides leg-islative policy advice, guidance and recommenda-tions to The Adjutant General on Congressional andGeneral Assembly issues affecting the Rhode IslandNational Guard.

Vision A ready, relevant, and reliable force comprised ofCitizen Soldiers and Airmen, capable of conductingfull spectrum operations in joint and interagencyenvironments

Legislative Liaison:During FY 2010, under the leadership of theAdjutant General, the Rhode Island National GuardRING) pursued three legislative priorities on behalfof RING personnel. These priorities pertained toeducation through the Interstate Compact, child cus-tody, and asset forfeiture.

Along with our strategic partner, Naval StationNewport, the RING was successful in forwarding theInterstate Compact legislation. In 2010, RhodeIsland became the 33d of 35 states to join theInterstate Compact; the Compact provides for theuniform treatment, at the state and local districtlevel, of military children transferring between states.

The RING was unsuccessful in bringing the othertwo pieces of legislation, child custody and asset for-feiture, to fruition in 2010 given that both pieces oflegislation failed to pass in either chambers. As theRING embarks on FY 2011, the Adjutant Generalhas identified key areas affecting soldiers necessitat-ing statutory change and has developed a legislativeagenda to meet these needs.

In FY 2010, the Rode Island legislature passed addi-tional legislation which will positively impact theRING. By state statute, the Rhode Island JointCommission on the Defense Economy was created.This commission will be a bi-partisan platform bywhich the RING will be able to more effectivelyimplement the Adjutant General’s legislative priori-ties.

Joint Planning Group:The Joint Planning Group (JPG) is comprised of sen-ior staff planners from all joint staff sections, toinclude special staff sections such as the publicaffairs office and the staff judge advocate office. Theprimary function of the JPG is to prepare, publishand revise military plans for a host of contingencyoperations that may arise within the state. Most ofthese contingencies fit within a broad frameworkknown as defense support to civilian agencies. Theintent of the JPG’s effort is to integrate the NationalGuard’s contingency plans with other state and fed-eral agencies so that all responses are coordinatedand synchronized.

During FY 2010 the JPG finalized revisions to theRING’s all-hazards plan that serves as the corner-stone for the National Guard’s response to any state-wide emergencies. In addition, the JPG created anew standard operating procedure for use in theJoint Operations Center. Both of these documentsproved incredibly valuable during the spring floods of2010 as well as during the preparation for the state’sresponse to hurricane Earl. In addition, the JPGrevised both a winter storm plan and a hurricaneresponse plan for use should if the need arises.

The J7 provides assistance to the Director of the Joint Staff by enhancing joint staff developmentthrough education, training, exercises and joint operational plans development. In partnershipwith the Director of Military Support, the J7 trains the Joint Staff to operate in a joint and com-bined environment. This is accomplished through the use of joint professional military education(JPME) opportunities throughout the country. In November 2009 the J7 hosted a mobile trainingteam in Rhode Island to conduct a Joint Operations Center (JOC) training course, commonlyreferred to as JOC 101. More than twenty Rhode Island staff officers and non-commissioned offi-cers attended this week-long course.

In July of 2010 the J7 arranged for members of the Joint Staff to participate in Korea United 2010which is hosted by the Naval Reserves in cooperation with the Naval War College. This exerciseallowed Rhode Island staff officers to participate in a joint exercise with members of the Navy,Marine Corps and Air Force while learning how the various joint staff sections communicate andfunction in a conflict situation.

There are several information systems that fall under the realm of the J7 to include the defensereadiness reporting system (DRRS) and the joint training information management system(JTIMS). Both of these systems provide vital information on the training and readiness capabili-ties of the Rhode Island Joint Force Headquarters and the Joint Staff. The J7 hosted severaltraining sessions in 2010 with counterparts from the National Guard Bureau in order to ensure keypersonnel were trained to operate these systems.

The Office of the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) provides legal support to the Adjutant General, staffdirectorates, commanders, and other RING members. Legal opinions and advice range from admin-istrative law, ethics, employment law, domestic operations law, and military law. Legal reviews formilitary construction projects for the Quonset and East Greenwich facilities remain a high priority.This past spring, the SJA participated in the State Partnership Program in the Bahamas briefing theirmilitary on the Code of Military Justice and Personnel law.

The Office of the Staff Judge Advocate provided Army National Guardsmen approximately $198,000in free legal services to mobilizing Soldiers from October 2009 through September 2010. Such serv-ices included free legal advice, wills, and powers of attorney. During mobilizations, the attorneysbriefed Soldiers on simple estate planning and the Service Members' Civil Relief Act (SCRA). TheSJA Office updated mobilization booklets containing important information such as financial manage-ment checklists, sample letters to invoke the SCRA, articles on consumer affairs, and health carepowers of attorney for Rhode Island Residents as well as other states’ residents. Because there areno active duty Army bases located in Rhode Island, nearby Connecticut or Massachusetts, this officecontinues to provide these services for our own members, in addition to other deploying reservists.

1-126th Aviation Battalion began the fiscal year with yetanother transformation of its structure. Detachment 1, 249thMedical Company (Air Ambulance) was deactivated andFoxtrot Company (Medical Evacuation), 1-126th Aviationwas activated adding 12 UH-60 MEDEVAC aircraft and 90personnel, split between Rhode Island and Delaware, to thecommand. This latest change increased the size of the bat-talion which now commands 50 helicopters and 640 per-sonnel capable of providing full-spectrum, lift, capability forthe commander on the battlefield. The retirement of the UH-1 “Huey” marked the end of an era for Rhode Island ArmyNational Guard Aviation, which spans a period from the endof the Vietnam War through the Global War on Terror.

Shortly after the new organization was formed, the newlyactivated Foxtrot Company was called to mobilize in sup-port of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in early2011. Over the last several months since the notification,the battalion and the mobilizing company have worked dili-gently on plans and training necessary to succeed in thiscritical mission. Additionally, the battalion completed recov-ery operations from its four month mission to the DominicanRepublic and set its sights on Leapfest Support Operationsand the upcoming training year which included complextraining events such as a move and shoot exercise con-ducted at the Devens Reserve Forces Training Area inMassachusetts. 1-126th AVN moved its Soldiers via heli-copter to a Landing Zone on Devens and conducted a roadmarch to the ranges in order to complete weapons qualifi-cation training. Weapons training continued during the win-ter months with Small Arms Indoor Ranges at Coast GuardStation Cape Cod with a goal of qualifying one hundredpercent of the battalion personnel. The battalion performedexceptionally in Flood Response/Relief operation from 30March to 2 April. Approximately 115 members of the battal-ion conducted 24 hour operations and supported many suc-cessful mission sets including sandbagging operations on I-95 and I-295 at the height of the storm and flooding, trafficcontrol points throughout the southern half of Rhode Island,resupply operations and movement of displaced persons inareas that were cut-off by the flood waters.

Additionally, the battalion provided the state with aviationassets necessary to conduct damage assessments and themovement of key personnel involved with the relief efforts.The Battalion planned and executed Annual Training thisyear at Fort Indiantown Gap (FTIG) conducting AerialGunnery training remotely at Fort A.P. Hill, VA, general sup-port aviation operations training, simulation training aswell as individual and team level training at both loca-

tions.The training period culminated with a collective train-ing event focusing on MEDEVAC operations in an urbanenvironment conducted on the Combined Arms CollectiveTraining Facility (CACTF) at Fort Indiantown Gap.

Major General Bray visited the 1-126th at the FTIG CACTFto observe the mission involving Pennsylvania ARNGSoldiers from the 109th Infantry Battalion and 104thAviation (Attack) Battalion. This mission involved the exe-cution of a Combined Arms Exercise with UH-60 MEDE-VAC, 2 x AH-64 Apaches, over 60 role players and 2Companies of Mechanized Infantry. The exercise was com-pleted after a successful MEDEVAC extraction from theCACTF by a crew from F Co. 1-126th Aviation.

We ended this Fiscal Year by supporting the occupation ofthe new, state-of-the-art Army Aviation Support Facility andin support of the Rhode Island National Guard OpenHouse Airshow in June 2010. As the battalion closed thisfiscal year, it remains focused on readiness and trainingwith a particular focus on the readiness of FoxtrotCompany which is now approximately six months fromdeploying to Afghanistan.

Mission Statement

The Rhode Island Army National Guard Recruiting andRetention Command conducts Strength MaintenanceOperations based on the three tenants of StrengthMaintenance: Recruiting, Retention, and AttritionManagement, in order to provide quality, deployableSoldiers and leaders; promote opportunities for service;and foster increased public awareness of the RIARNG.

Organization

The command and support staff, headquartered atSchofield Armory in Cranston, provides guidance andsupport to two geographically based teams, each ledby a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer. The commandhas two community-based Recruiting offices located onWeybosset Street in downtown Providence; and in theStop and Shop plaza in Johnston. Recruiting, Retention, and Attrition Management Rhode Island continues its proud tradition of patrioticCitizen-Soldiers answering the call to serve. Despitereductions in incentives and tougher enlistment stan-dards, during this fiscal year the command achievedover 100% of its recruiting mission, with 294 enlistedgains (comprised of 223 non-prior and 71 prior servicesoldiers), and 31 new officer gains. At the same time,the command achieved over 100% of its Retentiongoal.

As a result of this success, the Recruiting Commandwas recognized by National Guard Bureau at a confer-ence in December 2009 with awards for mission suc-cess in both: Recruiting and Retention where weexceeded the standard in Enlisted Accessions andretaining the Soldiers that are in the Guard and reachtheir expiration term of service requirement.Additionally, the command exceeded goals for “quality”enlistments, in that 95% of Soldiers entering the RIArmy National Guard had at least a high school diplo-ma. Additionally, other newly enlisted Soldiers earnedtheir high school education through resident NationalGuard education programs. During this period ourSoldiers received approximately $3 million in enlistmentbonuses and $2 million in retention bonuses. Due tothe overall success of recruiting in the National Guardnationwide, many of our monetary incentives havebeen significantly reduced or eliminated.

However, there are still tremendous opportunities andbenefits available to members of the RI Army NationalGuard. Principle among these are free attendance at statecolleges and universities; up to 100% tuition assistance atother institutions; student loan repayment programs;ROTC scholarships; a new GI Bill with benefits that aretransferrable to family members; low cost health coverageand dental coverage for both the individual Soldier andtheir families; paid career training; limited cash enlistmentbonuses; adventure and opportunities for service.

Recruit Sustainment Program The mission of the Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) isto ensure that new recruits are physically fit, mentally pre-pared and administratively correct when they arrive atbasic training.

The RSP is unique to the Army National Guard as noother branch of service has such a program. It is designedto prepare non-prior service enlistees with the basicknowledge and skills required to successfully completeBasic Combat Training and Advanced Initial EntryTraining. The Recruit Sustainment Program instills theseven Army values; Leadership, Duty, Respect, SelflessService, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage, providesacademic instruction as well as physical conditioning andCommon Task Training. The success of the program isevidenced by a “training success” rate of over 95% atbasic training installations. During this period, the RecruitSustainment program in Rhode Island was consistentlyamong the top 10 in the nation and achieved a top 5 rank-ing consistently. The Recruit Sustainment Program wasalso recognized by National Guard Bureau at our annualconference in December 2009 and regularly producesHonor Graduates at Basic Training.

The Split-Option ProgramThis is a program that is unique to the Army NationalGuard. It allows High School Juniors the opportunity toattend basic training during the summer after their junioryear, and return home in time to start their senior year.After high school graduation, they return to complete theirAdvanced Individual Training and continue with theirNational Guard service.

The Patriot Academy is a National Guard sponsored program whichhas partnered with state educational programs around the country tooffer the opportunity for young men and women that have dropped outof high school to get their high school diplomas. The Patriot Academyis the first national military high school for Soldiers accredited by astate department of education. Not only do they receive their HighSchool Diploma while getting paid by the military, but the local highschool receives credit for the Student/Soldier upon graduation, reduc-ing the schools drop-out rate and increasing their graduation rate. Wealso have the GED Plus Program which provides young men andwomen the opportunity to receive their GED’s. The Patriot Academy islocated in Indiana and the GED Plus Program is located inArkansas.The Rhode Island Army National Guard has also formed apartnership with the Rhode Island Interscholastic League to co-hosttwo annual High School Sports Leader Challenges.

During the Rhode Island Floods of 2010 in March andApril, 143d members answered the call to state activeduty to provide assistance throughout the state.

Notably, in June 2010, the 143d Airlift Wing was award-ed the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, first oak leafcluster, for outstanding performance from 1 Nov 2007through 31 October 2009. The Air Force OutstandingUnit Award is only awarded to units that clearly exceedAir Force standards and expectations. The 143d contin-ues to prove itself as a leader around the globe.

During the next five years , The 143rd Airlift Wing will playa active role in the Department of Defense’s strategy ofdownsizing its active duty forces to create a more robustand effective Total Force, to include components fromthe active duty, the reserves and the National Guard.Wing leadership has taken aggressive steps to positionus for the future by; expanding and updating its facilities,aircraft modernization, adding tenant organizations, therecruiting and retaining quality personnel while providingtraining and equipment that maintains our total opera-tional readiness.

The 143rd Airlift Wing will reach its goals byfocusing on the following areas:

Adding an Active Duty Associate UnitBase Infrastructure ModernizationC-130 Transportation Hub Recruiting , Retention and Training

ACTIVE ASSOCIATE UNIT

Air Mobility Command (AMC) has identified the 143rdAirlift Wing as a potential host to an active duty C-130Jsquadron. This is largely due to the Wing’s efforts to mod-ernize its facilities, aircraft and overall capabilities. Theactive squadron would consist of operations, maintenanceand support personnel that would share existing equip-ment and facilities, to include maintenance and supplyareas. The addition of an active unit would:

-Increase overall efficiency and utilization rates of our 8C-130Js.-Bring over 100 full time active duty positions to QuonsetPoint.-Nearly double the economic impact to the local area.-Provide additional resources and visibility to the Wing.

-Create synergy between a young active force and themore seasoned Air National Guard force.

BASE INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION

The 143rd Airlift Wing is located on the former QuonsetPoint Navy Base, built in 1941. Until 2002, many of theoriginal buildings were still being used by the Wing, how-ever, in the past five years, the 143rd Airlift Wing has con-structed or renovated new Operations and Maintenance

facilities, including the construction of a “state-of-the-art”maintenance hangar and a completely renovatedOperations facility, that includes a technically updatedCommand Post. In 2006 we added the ConsolidatedAircraft Maintenance facility and a new Munitions Storagebuilding. In June 2008, we dedicated a new SecurityPolice and Communications building, Aerial Port buildingand a new main gate complex. Construction of the 102dInformation Warfare Squadron building is nearly completeand we will soon have a new Air National Guard Air TrafficControl Tower facility.

C-130 Transportation Hub

The Wing is fully exploiting our ideal geographic location and facilities to establish Rhode Island as the C-130crossroad to Europe. As the eastern most -130 unit, we are the logical embarkation point for all C-130’s departing for or returning from the European andSouthwest Asia theaters. Quonset Point conveniently allows for a transit to and from Europe in a single day.Eliminating the requirement for an overnight stop provideseconomic efficiencies as well as operational efficiencies.This maintains our viability and relevance as well as hav-ing a positive economic impact on our community.

Recruiting, Retention and Training

FY 10 goals were focused on effective manning ensuringnew recruits filled only vacant positions. Challenges to theprogram were the deactivation of the referral program onthe national level as well as the suspension of the cashincentive program for all new recruits and reenlistments inthe 4th quarter. Despite these challenges the teamaccessed 103 new recruits and retained 89.8% of the cur-rent membership exceeding established goals while simul-taneously achieving a higher overall effective manningcapability.

The 143rd Airlift Wing remains on course with itsvision to grow, prosper and excel, with new aircraft,new facilities, and the best trained military in theworld.
