OCTOBER! F R G N E W S L E T T E R! 2011
October has arrived and the crisper, cooler fall weather with it. The passing of September saw the troopers of
Taskforce Wolfpack move-out to do the job they have all trained hard to do.
Photos were taken throughout the hangar during the trooper movements.
You can find them on Facebook through the Wolfpack Family Readiness page, 1/82 ARB page, the 82nd Combat
Aviation Brigade page and most likely even shared on your own company page. These photos are downloadable to your own computer for you to have.
As we are sent approved links or photos, we will share them with you. Information on how to link to us on
Facebook is on the next page. We look forward to having plenty to share and hope you will share yours as well.
Troopers of TF Wolfpack move-out...
WOLFPACK
OPSEC & PERSEC1. Do not post exact deployment dates or redeployment dates.
2. Do not reveal camp locations, including nearby cities.
“Intelligence collection and
analysis is like assembling a
picture puzzle. Intelligence collectors are fully aware of the
importance of obtaining small bits of information, or ‘pieces’ of a
puzzle, from many sources and
assembling them to form the overall
picture.”
3. Do not discuss convoy routes; detailed information on the mission, capabilities or
morale of a unit; specific names or actual nicknames; details concerning security procedures, response times, tactics.
4. Don’t discuss equipment.
5. Don’t speculate about operations.
6. Don’t post pictures that could be misconstrued or used for propaganda
purposes. Look at your picture without your caption or explanation and consider if it could be re-captioned to reflect
poorly on coalition forces.
7. Don’t use count-up or count-down tickers for the same reason as rule #1.
8. Don’t post pictures that show significant landmarks and black out last names and
unit affiliations.
9. Do not, ever, post information about
casualties (coalition or enemy) before the official release of the information.
10. Do not pass on rumors.

WITH THE CHILL IN THE AIR MANY PEOPLE WILL START
ENJOYING THEIR FIREPLACES. REMEMBER FIREPLACE SAFETY
IS YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Fireplace SafetyMore than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-
fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the fire risks when heating
with wood and solid fuels.
Heating fires account for 36% of home fires every year. Often these fires are due
to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and efficiently.
And don’t forget... install smoke alarms on every level of your home, test them monthly and change the batteries at least
once a year. Consider installing the new long life smoke alarms.
