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.

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.

CPT Dennis Hines

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-

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

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

FRG Leader’s Nook

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

“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.

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?
