S U I T S, A R M Y M E D I A P R O D U C T I O N POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES CON- AS TINUE TO DEVELOP THEIR ABIL- ITY TO ENGAGE WITH U.S. FORCES ACROSS MULTIPLE DOMAINS, the Army s future operating environment will be highly contested, congested and lethal. That s why exercises such as the Network Integration Evaluation 17.2 are vital for building an agile and adaptive Army by integrating and testing new network equipment that will be used in the field. In addition, the exercise at Fort Bliss July 11 through 30 created an opportunity for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), and other participating units to increase their readiness through realistic and demanding scenarios against peer or near-peer threats. For the 2nd BCT, 101st Abn., preparation and training for NIE started while they conducted operations in Iraq, according to Col. Joseph E. Escandon, commander, 2nd BCT, 101st Abn. While deployed, they found innovative ways to use older technology compared to the equipment being tested at NIE 17.2 to enable Mission Command, he said. When 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne, returned in January, they had a lot of combat experience in the use of mission command systems and how to maximize its effect, he said. They were using the network to gain a position of advantage in what they were doing. TACTICAL, MOBILE AND AGILE Training for NIE was in full swing in March, as the U.S. Army Joint Modernization Command established a forward presence at Fort Campbell, Ky., to integrate with the brigade. Under the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, JMC executes realistic and rigorous exercises to provide Soldier feedback on emerging concepts and capabilities that will improve the combat effectiveness of the joint force. Compared to previous NIEs, (JMC) has deliberately carved out time for the brigade to increase readiness, said Col. Charles Roede, the JMC deputy commander. We want to make sure that they leave a bettertrained unit and set them up for success. Army senior leaders have said future operations will require a need for decentralized command and control centers and disbursed formations of Soldiers. To meet the needs of the warfighter, JMC has created a similar training environment. (NIE) helps Soldiers prepare for the fight we are going to have in the future, Escandon said. We are not going to fly into a country and walk onto a forward operating base. Out here, we re tactical. Soldiers are walking around in full battle rattle, he added. We haven t brought out any sleeping tents or cots. We are getting back to basic Soldier field-craft and learning how to adapt to our environment. Throughout the exercise area of responsibility, freshly dug foxholes and a crude perimeter of razor wire appeared to be the only line of defense between the brigade and the opposing forces. If the Soldiers are uncomfortable out there while having to move while fighting, I think that is what the chief of staff of the Army envisions what the future fight is going to look like, Roede said. We are trying to create a combat-training-center-caliber experience for the testing unit. OPERATING IN MULTIPLE DOMAINS JMC also evaluated how a brigade operates in a dynamic battlefield. To try and replicate parts of the multidomain environment, the brigade provided Soldiers who participated as opposition forces. After extensive training from JMC, the Training and Doctrine Command G-2 (Intelligence) OPFOR directorate certified these forces. Throughout the evaluation, the OPFOR team, augmented by local personnel, contested the ground and air domains through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, antitank guided missiles, upgraded rocket propelled grenades and anti-aircraft missiles. In addition, the brigade experienced the effects of offensive electromagnetic capabilities: jammers, sensors, radars and other cyber capabilities in an attempt to degrade, disrupt or exploit their operations. As a unit is going through a jamming process, it provides them with an opportunity to exercise their primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency communications plan, said Col. Bert Shell, JMC s chief of the Network Integration Division. The benefits of going through that and seeing it in real time are invaluable to a unit, he said. THE WAY AHEAD The rise of urbanization and the growth of megacities have made the operational environment even more complex, according to Douglas L. Fletcher, JMC chief of s t a ff. The focus of JMC is to stay ahead of the competition and continue to adapt and innovate. When you look at the ever-growing urbanization worldwide, the megacity phenomena presents a dynamic problem set for future military operations, Shell said. We need a communications network that is agile and can operate and enable mission command in any environment. Spc. Jordan Buck/ 55th Combat Camera Staff Sgt.

2 12A August 10, 2017 FORT BLISS BUGLE We create the conditions that introduce the environmental factors: a thinking enemy, the stress and confusion of simulated combat. >> Col. Charles Roede FEEDBACK Continued from Page 4A The measure of success Before NIE 17.2, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, used to be the dedicated Army experimentation unit, Roede said. Due to the needs of the Army, that unit was pulled back from its testing mission and was put back into the readiness pool to conduct real-world missions. Now, instead of having a permanently assigned unit with which to conduct NIE, the Army rotates units in to perform the evaluations. At the conclusion of NIE, some of the equipment that has been evaluated there is integrated back into the evaluating unit and tested in other operational environments. Since being pulled back, the 2nd BCT, 1st AD, continues to operate under a previous capability set and provides feedback to JMC, Roede said. In September, the 2nd BCT, 1st AD, will participate in their first National Training Center rotation. They are arguably the best-trained brigade on the Army s network, Roede said. Can they translate that to be successful at NTC? If they can, it can prove that the network is viable and they can fight better. If that is the case, how do we get the rest of the Army to that standard? The 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, is slated to participate in next year s NIE, Roede said. This has been a remarkable experience bringing in a rotational unit, Roede said. It shows we can bring other brigades into NIE and give them this experience of working with the network to become a better fighting force. Tactical network capabilities At this most recent NIE, the Army is testing two expeditionary network systems that are part of the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical, or WIN-T, program. The program aims to provide operational units with increased early-entry communications while reducing the complexity of the network. (The network) is critical to the commander s ability to... command their forces and gain a situational understanding of the battlespace, said Col. Bert Shell, chief of the network integration division at JMC. 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne has the latest increment of WIN-T, Increment 2, which provides network connectivity on the move, at the quick halt, and at the halt, said Shell. According to Shell, WIN-T Increment 2 enhances the resilience of the network to operate in a contested and congested environment. This is a significant mobility advantage over WIN-T Increment 1b, which delivers the tactical network predominantly at the halt. Collecting feedback During NIE, several hundred observers are spread throughout the training environment to capture daily observations. They report their findings to the JMC integration and assessment division, which in turns helps generate and distribute their findings to different organizations responsible for the exercise. Having worked with the network since 2013, Capt. Zachary Jones, commander, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 2nd BCT, 101st Abn., Div., has witnessed the evolution of technology evaluated at NIE. Since 2011, there have been many improvements made to existing equipment, including improvements to the software and hardware of individual systems, Jones said. The current technology helps lessen the chance for human error created by miscommunication. We as Soldiers need to invest in this, he said. We re setting us up to become a better Army by having a better way to communicate. ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE of El Paso 7256 La Junta, Canutillo, TX (915)

Christopher Schmiett 1st AD RSSB Public Affairs BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan About 35 Soldiers assigned to the 159th Financial Management Support Detachment, Special Troops Battalion, 1st Armored Division Resolute Support Sustainment Brigade, help provide financial support to about 30,000 Soldiers, contractors, civilians and local nationals from their headquarters here. The detachment travels to austere environments throughout the Combined Joint Operation Area-Afghanistan to provide financial assistance. The finance mission is to provide financial management support to Train Advise Assist Command-North, TAAC-South, TAAC- East, TAAC-West and TAAC-Capital, said Capt. Janet Baca, commander, 159th FMSD. Financial management support includes military pay, disbursing and paying agent support to all service members, Department of Defense civilians, contractors and local vendors. The 159th FMSD promotes e-commerce initiatives such as eagle cash cards, point of sale devices and eagle cash card kiosks management, while enhancing partnership with host nation banking and vendors to facilitate a near cashless battlefield. The 159th FMSD is contributing to the financial stability of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as well. We also provide substantial support to the economic pillar of the ongoing operations, which is critical to the future success of the independent Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Baca said.

(Left) Spc. David Gregory, a financial management technician assigned to the 159th FMS Det., STB, 1st AD RSSB, answers questions about the pay system at Resolute Support Headquarters, Afghanistan, July 6. The financial mission is not only important to the Soldiers of the 159th FMSD, but also to the Soldiers of the CJOA-A who depend on them to correct any financial discrepancies. Our mission is important to Soldiers, as our unit ensures all Soldiers are receiving proper pay and deployment entitlements, Baca said. We boost the morale of several forward operating bases by ensuring the Soldiers have a method of paying the local vendors for the goods they sell. Assisting Soldiers and their financial needs, the 159th FMSD also provides financial support that aids humanitarian support. We fund paying agents throughout the CJOA-A, Baca said. This money allows these paying agents to make mission essential purchases from the local economy that cannot be made by a government purchase card, as well as support the commander s emergency response program by providing funds for humanitarian projects. Along with pay distribution, the 159th FMSD conducts financial rodeos. The financial rodeos allow Soldiers to travel to other bases and forward operating bases that do not have a financial office. The 159th FMSD conducts rodeos at 15 different locations that support the five regions in Afghanistan, Baca said. These allow us to provide financial management support throughout the entire country to more than 30,000 Soldiers, contractors, civilians and local nationals despite our relatively small footprint of about 35 finance Soldiers in country. Ultimately, the 159th FMSD is here for the Soldiers and civilians of the CJOA-A. When I arrived in country I had pay issues that my unit could not assist me with, so I went to the 159th FMSD to receive some help and to get it corrected, said Master Sgt. Shelia Cooper, public affairs noncommissioned officer in charge, assigned to the 1st AD RSSB. They were able to look up my financial discrepancies and provide details as to how to get them fixed. With these Soldiers providing financial support across Afghanistan, Soldiers, civilians, contractors and local nationals are able to fix pay issues at their location.

5 The Legion holds change of responsibility ceremony FORT BLISS BUGLE August 10, A By 2nd Lt. Alaura Walz 3rd Bn., 43rd ADA, 11th ADA Bde. Soldiers assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Legion, 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, bid farewell to Command Sgt. Maj. Mario F. Guerrero and his family, and welcomed Command Sgt. Maj. Richard C. Pyles, Jr., and his family, during a change of responsibility ceremony at 1st Lt. Paul A. Noel Field July 20. During the ceremony, Guerrero and Pyles passed the noncommissioned officer sword, which signifies the passing of the history, traditions, accomplishments and responsibility from the outgoing command sergeant major to the incoming. With this transition, the unit s legacies are passed along and represent the building blocks for future performance and achievements. Lt. Col. Scott W. McLellan, commander, 3rd Bn., 43rd ADA, 11th ADA Bde., facilitated the passing of the sword, and afterward thanked Guerrero using only six words to reflect their past 18 months of command together. As I reflected on our time together and his time in the unit, I realized that all the support and service he gave to the unit can simply be broken down to two distinct phrases. Those two phrases are: Let s do this and I got this. Six simple words, but a world of meaning to me, he said. Guerrero and his family are moving across post so he can become an instructor for the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy. Be- fore he becomes an instructor, however, he will spend a year completing a master s degree at USASMA through Pennsylvania State University. After multiple duty stations and multiple moves, Guerrero, his wife Raquel and their children are excited to have more time to spend as a family. During his speech, Guerrero thanked the Soldiers and the leaders of the Legion. All that we have accomplished we have accomplished together; the credit goes to the Legion. I could not have asked for a harder working unit. I thank Lt. Col. McLellan for not only being a great leader, but for being a great friend to myself and my family throughout our time in command, Guerrero said. McLellan congratulated Pyles on taking on the responsibilities of being the command s senior enlisted adviser and welcomed his family. The battalion is ready to fight and ready to win, McLellan reminded Pyles. We are ready to start training to take this battalion to the next level of Patriot operations. I hope you are ready too I can already see you have a warrior spirit and are an equally selfless (Pyles) family. I am excited to get started, McLellan said. Pyles comes to the Legion from a deployment in Kuwait where he served as the operations sergeant major for 4th Battalion, 3rd Air Defense Artillery, 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade, at Fort Sill, Okla., before attending the USASMA and graduating. He 2nd Lt. Alaura Walz / 3rd Bn., 43rd ADA, 11th ADA Bde. Command Sgt. Maj. Mario F.

Maj. Paul D. Albright, command sergeant major, 11th ADA Bde., for the opportunity and the privilege to lead the unit. Then he spoke directly to the Legion. I believe that actions speak louder than any words It is what we accomplish together as a team that will leave an impact on the legacy of this battalion, Pyles said. I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
