3-3 ABCT “Sledgehammer” Deployment to Kuwait |
|
|
Over the past decade, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team
(3rd ABCT) of 3rd Infantry Division has done
more than its share of fighting the Global War on Terror.
From capturing objectives in Baghdad and completing the
city’s encirclement during the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom
(OIF), to serving as the
3rd Advise and Assist Brigade during OIF VII
in 2009 – 2010, the Soldiers of the “Sledgehammer Brigade” have
repeatedly proven their courage and competence.
Sledgehammer Soldiers have recently returned from the
Persian Gulf region again, but this time, it was a different
mission. Following a rotation at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California during the spring of 2012, approximately 2,000 troops from 1-15th Infantry Regiment, 1-10th Field Artillery Regiment, 203rd Brigade Support Battalion, and 3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, including the Brigade Headquarters, deployed to Kuwait in June 2012. The Sledgehammer Brigade, under the leadership of Colonel Johnnie L. Johnson Jr. and Command Sergeant Major Brian D. Harrison, relieved 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division at of Camp Buerhing, Kuwait, and assumed support of the United States Army Central Command – the geographically-aligned combatant command covering the Middle East and Central and Southwest Asia.
Over the next nine months, 3 ABCT
conducted realistic training and joint exercises with its Kuwaiti
counterparts and continued military cooperation with Kuwait and
other regional partners in the Persian Gulf.
Sledgehammer Soldiers exceeded expectations and impressed
their regional partners during
Operation Hammer Strike,
Spartan Mariner, and
Inferno Creek.
Having preserved the security of Kuwait and deterred
potential foreign aggression by maintaining a formidable American
ground presence in the region, 3 ABCT was officially relieved in
this capacity by
1st
Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, during a
ceremony on 4 March 2013.
Troops who were deployed to Kuwait returned to Kelley Hill – 3
ABCT’s home in Fort Benning, Georgia – in February and March 2013.The
brigade’s mission is to generate combat power and deploy on order to
conduct full spectrum operations to defeat enemy forces, control
land areas, and secure populations and resources in support of U.S.
national interests.
Whatever the brigade’s next mission may be, the Soldiers
of the mighty 3 ABCT will be ready to answer their nation’s call,
and serve proudly in a manner honoring their rich heritage. |

Two More 3rd
Infantry Division Units to Deploy to Afghanistan 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade and 3rd Sustainment Brigade will deploy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom By Ryan Smith Ryan.smith@patch.com |
| Two
more 3rd Infantry Division units will deploy to Afghanistan this
year, according to a Fort Stewart press release. The 3rd Combat
Aviation Brigade and the 3rd Sustainment Brigade will both head to
Afghanistan later this year for nine-month deployments. The 3rd CAB will deploy to Regional Command-South, according to the press release. The brigade will provide aviation support for the regional command and advise and assit local Afghan officials. This will be 3rd CAB's second deployment to Afghanistan. 3rd CAB comprises five aviation units as well as brigade headquarters. The 3rd Sustainment Brigade is slated to head to Kandahar. It will be assigned to the Joint Sustainment Command-Afghanistan, and will provide support to Coalition forces in Regional Commands South, Southwest and West, as well as providing advice and assistance to Afghan National Security Forces. The brigade consists of three battalions, and already has three companies and two detachments deployed to Afghanistan, according to the release. This will be the full brigade's first deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Currently, Fort Stewart's 1st Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment and 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment -- both part of 3rd ID's 2nd Brigade Combat Team -- are deployed to Afghanistan, and 3rd ID's Headquarters Battalion is scheduled to deploy in August.

| Discovery Channel Documentary |
| I am currently working on a
documentary for the Discovery Military Channel, which will focus on
the 2003 Battle of Baghdad. This will be a one hour documentary
film, which will feature as part of a wider series that looks at
decisive battles in military history. The narrative will focus on
specific decisive missions, the men and women who fought in them and
the weapons they used. We’ll tell their key roles in creating the
turning points within each historic battle. I have initially been in touch with the Public Relations Office at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield, and they have recommended getting in touch with the 3rd Infantry Army Society as they believe many of the individuals involved with the Battle of Baghdad may be members. For this I am hoping to speak to individuals who fought in the Battle of Baghdad; who may be able to assist me with my research, and are able to go into detail with the key factors that shaped the course of the battle. Perhaps if we were able to arrange a time to speak on the telephone, we can discuss the production further and talk more in depth about the battle itself? It has been fascinating reading various articles and books on the battle, and it would be an honour to speak to some of those who were directly involved on the ground; so thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. If you had any questions at all, please feel free to send them my way.

| Postal Rates 2013 |
| The cash-strapped U.S. Postal
Service announced on Tuesday a one-cent increase in the cost of
mailing a letter, starting in January. The new prices lift the cost
of a first-class stamp to 46 cents starting on January 22, 2013, the
first increase in more than two years. The Postal Service is facing
a financial crisis because mail volumes have declined as more people
use electronic mail or the services of private sector competitors
such as FedEx and United Parcel Service. The Postal Service said the
cost to mail a postcard will go up three cents to 32 cents, letters
to Canada or Mexico will increase five cents to 85 cents, and
letters to other international locations will increase seven cents
to $1.05. The agency, which is allowed to raise prices in line with
the rate of inflation, said it filed the new prices with the Postal
Regulatory Commission on Tuesday. The regulator has 45 days to
approve the changes. Until the price changes take effect, consumers can still purchase 44-cent Forever stamps, which do not require additional postage after prices go up. "The overall average price increase is small and is needed to help address our current financial crisis," said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. "We continue to take actions within our control to increase revenue in other ways and to aggressively cut costs." The Postal Service has asked Congress for permission to drastically overhaul its business. Since the decline in the economy many industries are changing they way they work. The differences in the jewelry market are a great example. The gold market and tungsten carbide market have changed drastically. The Postal Service must make the same changes, including cutting Saturday mail delivery and eliminating a massive annual payment to prefund retiree health benefits. The agency also is studying thousands of post offices and processing facilities for possible closure. |

sticker patch on your lower left windshield. You can get a
personalized license tag (3RD INF DIV) from your state. Put a 3rd
Div Society sticker on your left rear glass. Cut out the
application from The Watch and put your name in the referred
line. Run off copies and carry it in your left pocket (put
extras in the glove box of your vehicle).
When you meet people that
ask you if you were with the 3rd, you can say yes and
ask them if they were with the 3rd or attached to the
3rd. If they say yes, tell them,” We have the oldest
continuous military society there is since 1919.
We support the active
Division with mailed letters, boxes and help take care of their
families at home when they are deployed. We meet the wounded
soldiers at Walter Reed and Bethesda Hospitals in Washington and
give them pajamas, billfolds and phone cards.
When you join the Society,
you can get a roster of more than 3600 members and you receive a
magazine every other month that will inform you about many
aspects of the Society and things that are happening in the
active Division. Its home base is Fort Stewart, Georgia.
You can find many of the
friends you served with and keep up what has gone on in the
past. There is nothing like finding friends you served with that
you were closer to than many of your family. Fill out the
application; send $15.00. This is a real bargain. You only have this one
time to sign them up!

PATCH-WEARER?
Wanted: Those who served with the 3rd ID or attached units.
Family members and friends and supporters of the 3rd ID are also
welcome!
CHANGE OF ADDRESS The majority of the membership must be made aware of the
importance of keeping our address database up to date. This is not
just a matter of slight inconvenience but, is a lot of hard work on
the part of Ray Anderson and Rich Heller in rectifying
the roster. We must cut some slack for our active duty troopers as they often
are subjected to reassignment and relocation as well as separation.
However, the majority of the non-active general membership is the
culprits. To reinforce the point, it is not uncommon to get back
30-50 Watch's per month. 50 returns accounts for nearly 25% of the
original mailing cost.

Warriors The
Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the
U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the
enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those
who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It
is specifically a combat decoration. The "Military Order
of the Purple Heart," was formed in 1932 for the protection and
mutual interest of all who have received the decoration.
Composed exclusively of Purple Heart recipients, it is the only
veteran’s service organization comprised strictly of “combat”
veterans.

My name is Dave Phillips, and I am a former Marine.
As I am sure you are well aware Audie Murphy is an
American legend. He remains America's Most Decorated
Soldier of World War Two, as well as having been a
best-selling author, movie star, poet, songwriter,
businessman, but above all patriot and a hero for
all generations.
Audie Murphy has been my role model my entire life.
He was the perfect role model for the youth of my
generation and remains a role model for the youth of
today. Unfortunately, many of the youth of today
have never heard of him.
Some years ago, a Petition effort was launched to
honor Audie Murphy with a U.S. Postage Stamp.
Americans just like yourself banded together and
through teamwork and the combined efforts of
thousands of your fellow citizens Audie Murphy was
finally honored in 2000 with the release of a
commemorative U.S. postage stamp.
It is my desire to see Audie Murphy presented
posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
for his dedication to America's freedom and his
lifelong devotion to country.
I have prepared an online Petition to President
Obama requesting that Audie Murphy be posthumously
awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The Petition can be found by clicking on the link
below:
Presidential Medal of Freedom Petition for Audie
Leon Murphy

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=216228041926
or by simply typing the words "Audie Murphy Medal of
Freedom" into Google.
I would be most appreciative if you could once again
stand with your fellow citizens and sign the
Petition requesting that America's Most Decorated
Soldier, Audie Murphy, be bestowed posthumously the
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Thank you for your time, patience, and consideration
in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dave Phillips

Here are the facts, cold and hard. A single copy of the Watch sent
via non-profit org. mail costs the Association slightly less than
1st class mail. A return costs the Association 75 cents! There is no
slush fund for this, ladies and gentlemen. It comes right out of
your annual dues and is becoming an ever increasing burden
financially.
Below, you find a change of address form. Copy it and save it. When
your address is about to change, PLEASE, click on pdf link below,
fill it out and and email or snail mail to Rich Heller, our Database

The Purple Heart medal, awarded to soldiers
injured in the line of duty.
Task Force Marne Soldiers dedicate themselves everyday to their
mission in Iraq; a mission to provide a hopeful future for the
people of Iraq and to ensure the security of their families and
Americans back home.
Soldiers wounded in battle deserve the highest quality medical
care our country can provide. But even in the best military
hospitals, Soldiers who face weeks or months of recovery and
rehabilitation sometimes experience difficulty maintaining their
Warriors’ spirit. But hanging on to that spirit is as important
as physical healing they go through and you can help. The value
of a note or a card offering well wishes is immeasurable in that
recovery process.
Our wounded troops are cared for at locations in the United
States and Germany. The email addresses below allow you to
correspond with the places of healing for our Wounded Warriors.
In some cases, visits may even be welcomed.
Please contact one of the liaison officers below to see how you
can help these dedicated and deserving Soldiers.
