DESCRIPTION
94th Engineer Battalion quarterly newsletter.
Citation preview
What a great event and all of the
Soldiers and Family Members
seemed to genuinely
enjoy themselves out on
Colyer Park in the sun-
shine. If you didn’t hear,
the battalion’s sports
teams did incredibly
well…we outright won 7
of the competitions,
came in 2nd in three, and
came in 3rd in 2. At the
end of the day, we were
WAY AHEAD of the
other battalions, and CSM Keel
and I had the honor of accepting
the BDE Dauntless Days Shield
which we will hold for the next
year until the Dauntless Days
2011!
As we look forward, we have
Soldiers, Families, and Friends of
the Wolverine Battalion; CSM
Keel and I want to take a minute
and thank you for all that you do
to make this Battalion a success
every day. We are honored to
serve in the 94th Engineer Battal-
ion, and we are truly thankful for
each opportunity that we have to
interact with you. Do not think
for a minute that either of us
takes being a Command Team
for granted...it is truly a privilege
and we would do if forever if the
Army would let us.
The Battalion continues to exe-
cute extremely well. The trip
that we took to Fort Riley for
training was incredible. We
completed a range density and
followed it up with a very realis-
tic platoon training event mod-
eled on Operation Enduring
Freedom tasks. Every platoon
that went through the training
had nothing but
great things to say
and the leaders
and Soldiers all
came away with
an appreciation
for how intellec-
tually difficult that
conflict is. During
the Fort Riley
training density,
we also had Sol-
diers in Romania and in Germany
supporting other operations. Of
course, they represented the
battalion well and we hope that
will lead to some construction
projects in Europe!
We returned from Fort Riley just
in time for the Brigade’s sports
competition: “Dauntless Days”!
Tish and I would like to welcome
all those who are new to the
Battalion.
Summer is peeking around the
corner and I think most of us are
glad the icy roads are a thing of
the past! It has been a busy year
with many more great adven-
tures in front of us.
Best wishes to those Soldiers
who will be leaving the Battalion
and venturing on to new and
exciting places!
GO WOLVERINES!

What is an FRG?
Message cont’d more great training planned.
At the end of September, we
expect to send two platoons
out to the U.S. Southern Bor-
der to build roads for the U.S.
Border Patrol. One of the
projects is in Laredo, Texas,
and the other project is in
Nogales, Arizona. These pro-
jects are excellent training for
platoons and ensure that we
are trained in construction and
project management.
Also in the Fall, we expect to
complete the 1st Engineer Bri-
gade Tactical Training Base
here on Fort Leonard Wood.
For everyone involved in that
project, you know how big it
is. The battalion is in the proc-
ess of building 42 SEAhuts that
the 1st Engineer Brigade will
use to house initial entry Sol-
diers during field problems.
We will end this entry into the
Wolverzine by thanking some
pretty special people. The
FRG leaders in each company
are some really amazing people
and the amount of volunteer
work they do for our Soldiers
and Families is awesome.
Thank you for all the “behind
the scenes” work that you do;
don’t ever think it goes un-
noticed or is not important. It
is noticed and it is incredibly
important!

iency among the members by
providing information, referral
assistance and mutual concern.
3. The FRG provides activities
and support that enhance the
well-being and esprit de corps
within the unit.
The FRG mission is to:
• Act as an extension of the
unit in providing official, accu-
rate command information
• Provide mutual support be-
tween the command and the
FRG membership
• Advocate more efficient use
of community resources
• Help families
solve problems at
the lowest level.
The FRG is not: -
• A part of the
Casualty notifica-
tion team
• A babysitting
service
• A surrogate parent
• A social worker
• A taxi or bus service
• A loan agency
What it boils down to is that
the FRG is here to provide you
with information and to help
you find the resources that you
need. The more volunteers
FRGs have the more programs
and social activities FRGs can
offer. In turn these resources
and activities provide opportu-
nities for Families to build ef-
fective support systems around
themselves.
The Family Readiness Group
(FRG) is an official Army pro-
gram established by the com-
mander and run by volunteers.
The organization consists of all
assigned Soldiers (married and
single), DA Civilians, volun-
teers and families (immediate
and extended) that together
provide mutual support and
assistance and a network of
communications among the
family members, the chain of
command, and community
resources.
The FRG assists the unit com-
mander is three ways:
1. The FRG conducts activities
that enhance the flow of infor-
mation between command and
families. It provides feedback
on the state of the unit’s fami-
lies to the command and dis-
seminates information to fami-
lies received from the com-
mand.
2. The FRG encourages resil-

Hello to all the family
and friends of HHC,
94th EN BN. The last
few months have been
very busy for everyone
within the BN and that
included many of the
Soldiers within HHC.
Over the month of May
the entire BN rotated up to Fort
Riley to participate in a field training
exercise to prepare us for a tactical
environment. Many people on staff
within HHC spent the entire month
up at Fort Riley to ensure that all
Soldiers within the BN
received the best train-
ing that could be pro-
vided. We would like
to thank all of the fami-
lies that were impacted
by this and thank each
of you for your contin-
ued support while we
deploy to the field to prepare for
deployments. In addition, to de-
ploying a large portion of the staff
to Fort Riley an equal amount of
people stayed back here at Fort
Leonard Wood to assist in running
the Rear D for the entire family.
We would love feedback from the
families about this so that we can
continue to provide you the
needed support while your Soldier
is away from home. Finally we
would like to thank everyone for
helping make the transition be-
tween myself and CPT Drake very
smooth, and we wish her and her
husband a happy farewell as they
get ready to move on with their
military career.

that no one outside the realm of
the military could possibly under-
stand. So, as the year rolls along,
and as our military families continue
to live, love, and learn together, my
hope, as the new FRG leader, is to
build friendships within our circle of
soldiers and loved ones. I hope that
we can spend our meetings laughing
and learning about one another so
that we may utilize the FRG for
what it was meant to be: a group of
friends who can actually understand
what the person next to them
might be going through. We are
planning a bake sale so that we may
raise funds for a Company Org
Day/BBQ during either the month
of July or August. I look forward to
meeting you all!

Taking up the position as FRG
leader was not a decision that I
made easily. The FRG, for me, was
unfamiliar and unknown and, there-
fore, to be its leader, seemed to be
a daunting and ambiguous task.
Growing up in the military as I did,
showed me the amazing dynamics
that military families possess. How-
ever, military families must also
endure hardships and heartaches

FSC Renegade Remarks First off, I want to thank the
Soldiers and Families of For-
ward Support Company for
your continuous support. I am
honored to serve as your com-
mander and as LTC Anderson
always preaches, I treat it as a
gift every day. Right after tak-
ing command, we started to
plan for the Fort Riley Field
Training Exercise. From April
25th to May 22nd, more than 35
Soldiers from the Forward
Support Company deployed to
Fort Riley, Kansas providing
logistical support for the 94th
Engineers making it a success-
ful field training exercise. Our
company overcame many
shortfalls with personnel and
equipment and still made the
mission happen. Our
Soldiers received realistic
training to include react-
ing to IEDs, sniper fire,
small arms fire, media
engagements, and many
other exercises to train
for Operation Enduring
Freedom.
Thanks to the Soldiers
that were on rear detachment
that kept us ahead on mainte-
nance while sustaining the
greatly impacted how I see the
role of the FRG within a mili-
tary community. As the FSC
FRG continues to grow and
develop, we are hoping that
the family members will be-
come more involved, more
informed, and more self reliant.
To meet these goals, we or-
ganized a family picnic at Co-
lyer Park while the soldiers
were at the Ft. Riley FTX,
hosted a spouses’ night out at
Sweetwater BBQ, held multiple
fundraisers, presented hand-
outs from ITR, had monthly
FRG meetings, and created a
Meal Team. Our next meeting
is an ice cream social on July 6,
2010 from 5:30-6:30 at the
Stonegate Community Center.

When I volunteered for the
Forward Support Company
(FSC) FRG leader position last
March, I had only had a vague
idea of what holding this posi-

was overwhelming, but as I
began to meet the families
within the company, I knew
that this position was a bless-
ing. The people I have met
these past three months have

Having just arrived from Ft.
Richardson, AK, this is the first step
in my personal philosophy; “The
key to my Soldier’s success is to be
an active and informed spouse”.
This is why I have chosen to be the
new FRG Leader for 77th.
My goals for this FRG are to main-
tain an open forum, maintain rumor
control, distribute information to
of Command (Cpt Hamilton), and
August 20th Spouses PT.

On the 13th of May,
the 77th Engineer
Company made the
trip back home. For
the two weeks
prior, much training
was conducted.
Ranges on the
M249, M240b, M2
and convoy live-fire
make the list of familiarity and pro-
ficiency ranges. Most of the period
spent in Kansas was reacting to
external missions, allowing the
platoon leaders, platoon Sergeants,
Squad and team leaders to hone
many of their tactical leadership
skills. In this regard, effectiveness of
training was capitalized due to being
separated from our
garrison responsibilities.
Had we conducted the
same training at Fort
Leonard Wood, many
issues would have called
Soldiers from the exer-
cise.
Individual Soldiers gained
the benefit of seeing the
refinement of small unit tactics,
techniques and procedures, better
known as TTP’s.
It was obvious in the first week of
the exercise that changes would
have to be made, and it was largely
thanks to the support, cooperation
and motivation within the platoons
that allowed this critical step to
take place. There were trying times
to be certain, but through every-
one’s efforts, some critical adjust-
ments were made.
The last days of the exercise
were allocated for the “capstone”
event, in which a compound mis-
sion was externally and formally
evaluated. I think that all the OC’s
did a great job in being objective in
their evaluations. Some great com-
ments and recommendations for
improving our tactical skills came
out of the capstone event, and the
OC’s are deserving of much of this
credit.

103rd Viper Bytes As we complete another great
quarter of training and mis-
sions I would like to take a
minute to acknowledge a few
of the things that have been
happening and also look for-
ward to some planned events.
We have accomplished many
great things and the future
looks to be as busy as ever.
The FRG came to the motor
pool and held a pie in the face
fundraiser that allowed us to
vent some of our frustrations
on others. It was a fun event
and we rose quite a bit of
money for future events. We
got together again for Daunt-
less days where there were
sporting competitions and a
BBQ. We again had a lot of
fun and raised some money
with the dunk tank. We also
continued to have our monthly
meetings in the battalion con-
ference room on the first
Wednesday of each month at
1800. (There will be no July
meeting). There is a back to
school BBQ planned for all of
the Soldiers and Families of the
Vipers on 31July at the
Waynesville Park in the shelter
across from the splash park.
The money we have raised will
fund this fun event for all.
First platoon has been working
at the Ammunition Supply
Point on Fort Leonard Wood.
They have improved the secu-
rity of this facility by increasing
the stand-off around the pe-
rimeter. Second platoon fin-
ished the earthwork for a fu-
ture motor cycle safety course.
again was very successful. In
August we are looking forward
to the Spouses Cookie Ex-
change and Bake sale at the
Motor Pool. The FRG partici-
pates in and puts on fundrais-
ers in order to give back to
the soldiers and their families
with events like the upcoming
Back to School Bash that is
planned for late July. We will
have a BBQ with activities and
gifts for the kids at Waynesville
Park. FRG meetings are held
the first Wednesday of every
month at 1800 in the Battalion
Conference Room everyone is
welcome to attend. We look
forward to seeing all Vipers
currently a part of the Com-
pany and all new Vipers.

Hello Viper Family,
What a great past few months
we have had. Over the months
we have had several fundrais-
ers. In April we did a Company
Pie in the Face which was a lot
of fun and raised substantial
amount of money. Thank you
to all those who so kindly took
a pie in the face. In May we
participated in Dauntless Org

It has been a very busy quarter for us. Many have left, and many newcom-

involvement in the PIES East Elementary event (Partners In Education),

“Kindness is
difficult to give
away because
it keeps
coming back.”
- Unknown
The weather was a constant battle
on this project, so it was great to
get it finished. Third platoon also
finished a very long project at the
FORSCOM Tactical Training Base.
They expanded the size of the area
and it is a better training facility
because of their efforts. The me-
chanics have continued to labor
away and get all missions accom-
plished despite being short handed.
While you may think your efforts
go unnoticed, they don’t, and we
know your work is what keeps us
rolling. The headquarters section
had continued the exciting day-to-
day tasks that keep the company
running. They have also responded
to all of the last minute requests
from the 1SG and me. The entire
company moved over 1000 miles to
and from Fort Riley, KS and con-
ducted some very good training
while we were there. The hard
work of the Soldiers at Fort Riley
and the selfless service and sacrifice
of the Families at Fort Leonard
Wood made this a very successful
training event.
As we look forward to next quar-
ter, we will continue to be busy.
The Vipers will welcome CPT Todd
Bradford and his Family as he as-
sumes command of this fine organi-
zation. We will have a week of
ranges and a week of equipment
cross training in July. The end of
July and early August is a time when
we encourage Soldiers and Families
to take a much needed break and
enjoy some time off with a max
leave period. During the month of
August and September we will
likely have a platoon doing a con-
struction project in Fort Riley, KS
and a platoon at Ft. Irwin, CA serv-
ing as the environmental clean-up
team and working on a construc-
tion project. We will also be work-
ing on Fort Leonard Wood and
preparing for future construction
missions on and off of Fort Leonard
Wood. The week of 7-10 Septem-
ber is scheduled as a Company
Field Training Exercise (FTX). We
will stay in the field and focus on
tactical training during this time. As
you can see, the summer is packed
full of great training events so
please take advantage of the max
leave period and prepare for the
busy schedule.
As Stephanie, Whitney and I leave
the Vipers and move on to the next
chapter in our lives I would like to
thank all of our dedicated Soldiers
and Families for you support and
efforts. It has been an honor to
serve with you all. The Army life is
not an easy one and I appreciate
your selfless service. While you
are all exceptional, no one can do
everything alone. Please remem-
ber to lean on each other when in
need and use the many resources
that are provided to us all.

each have some great ideas. I am
here to support them, but they can
always use your help and support too.
If you are interested in helping out
please don’t hesitate to contact them
or myself to get started. To get an
idea of what you can do to help out
My name is Stephanie Leary and I am
the new Family Readiness Support
Assistant (FRSA) for the 94th Engi-
neer Battalion. I am a military MP
spouse of 20 years, mom to three and
an active volunteer. I’m very excited
to be working with the Wolverine
Soldiers, Families and FRG Volun-
teers. Please feel free to stop by my
cubicle and say hi any time!
As an FRSA I serve as a liaison be-
tween the battalion and the unit level
FRGs. I do this by providing the com-
manders and FRG leaders administra-
tive support, compiling and dissemi-
nating information, and by providing
guidance, support and referrals. This

One of my favorite quotes is “Some
people want it to happen, some wish
it to happen, others make it happen”.
Which one are you when it comes to
our FRGs?
