1LT Jennifer Fulco, BN Public Affairs Officer

Soldiers, families, parents, and friends, I am

pleased to present to you the fifth edition of

the “Never Daunted” newsletter that will cap-

ture your Soldiers‟ time and experiences while

deployed here to the Pacific region. We will

provide a snapshot of the 84th‟s various con-

struction projects, community relation events,

and other funny/entertaining stories. We know

how important it is for family members to stay

in touch with their Soldiers‟ activities. As

always, the “Never Daunted” Ohana and Oce-

ania wants to thank you for your continued

support.

Hafa Adai! Another great

month has gone by the Never

Daunted Soldiers and NMCB 5. This month has been spent

on excellent refresher training

on vehicles licensing, certify-

ing Soldiers in Combat Life

Saver, and drown proofing

training since after all we live

on an island. Some Soldiers

also got the opportunity to

familiarize themselves with

the use of a shot gun and to

conduct RTO training.

We continue to work on re-

pairing our equipment for the

Air Det. We also continue

project planning for future

missions here on Guam and

other areas that we are respon-

sible for. The Battalion has

come to the middle of the de-

ployment and at this point we

not only have to continue with

all our current missions but we

have to start looking at our fu-ture missions that will take us

to the end and then those that

will set us up for fiscal year

2014. We continue to rotate

Soldiers to the rear as their PCS

and ETS dates draw near. For

those Soldiers, the Battalion

thanks them for their service

and sacrifice and we wish them

and their families all the best in

the future. I want to thank all

the Soldiers and leaders who

helped out at the Toby Keith

concert. Your support in volun-

teering for the set up and secu-

rity of the event made it a suc-

cess. You brought joy to all the

different military forces

stationed here on Guam and their

families. As we get closer to the

end of the deployment I would ask that everyone remain vigilant

in safety and to keep driving

forward making improvements

with in your areas of responsibil-

ity, and accomplish all your mis-

sions and task to the best quality

and workmanship that you can.

As always, thanks to all the

families back home for your

continued support and hard work

that you do and for taking care

of the home front. We could not

accomplish our mission without

your support. Aloha, Never

Daunted, KOA 7!

A Message from the Commander Hafa Adai and Aloha to the

Never Daunted Family! May

has moved quickly as the bat-

talion continues to press on

with critical missions through-

out the Pacific Theater. I have

appreciated the opportunity to

spend time with the

Soldiers and Leaders at

Schofield Barracks over the

past couple of weeks. Our men

and woman on Oahu continue

to really make a difference.

The 7th Dive detachment took

me on a 'harrowing' boat ride

while we conducted

underwater surveying opera-

tions in support of the Marines

on K-Bay. The 70th Engineer

Company is supporting a

broad array of geospatial re-

quirements or many units -

these Soldiers are way too

smart and I am still trying to-

catch up to them. The Warri-

ors of 561st continue to pre-

pare for their upcoming de-

ployment to Guam while our

HHC, FSC, 523rd and 643rd

Soldiers in Schofield continue

to accomplish far more than

could be expected with

limited resources and people.

Being on Oahu for a couple

weeks makes me really appre-

ciate the low humidity during

PT. That said all the units I

did PT with make it their goal

to make me feel old. They did

a good job.

Throughout May, we made

tremendous progress in our

mission in Guam and

elsewhere. Our 523rd recon-

naissance team returned from

Papa New Guinea after seeing

how hard life could really be

in the 3rd world. LT Leedham

and SFC Stewart deployed

their team from the 643rd to

Kosrae and began their

A Message from the Command Sergeant Major

operations. The FSC completed

an important inspection on how

well they are executing Navy

maintenance systems. Their

scores were better than the 3

previous Navy units inspected!

Finally, our team in Palau led

by LT Monroe and SFC Freg-

iste received high praise from

the Ambassador to Palau, AMB

Helen Reed-Rowe. She re-

ported that the team "has pro-

vided unparalleled contribu-

tions. and this team has been

recognized many times for their

outstanding work". This battal-

ion brings unparalleled capabil-

ity to the Theater and these

small teams that are disciplined

and focused make us all

truly proud! As always, I

greatly appreciate the support

from all of the Soldiers of this

organization and the families

who keep us strong. Never

Daunted!

proximity to its off island missions

is critical. At the peak of opera-

tions, 643rd will command and con-

trol units in five different loca-

tions—none of which fall in the

same time zone. Serving as the cen-

ter of gravity between Palau, Micro-

nesia, the Marshall Islands and Ha-

waii will be much simpler with an

operations center in Guam. Two

details are already executing their

off island missions with the final

team departing in the coming weeks.

643rd Soldiers will continue to

support the Air Detachment and

construction projects on Guam.

There is plenty of work to go

around. In many ways, the new-

comers have got to catch up to the

pace that the vertical troops on

Camp Covington have already set.

A massive overhead concrete pour

occurs in the next few weeks; very

few, if any, Soldiers in this battalion

have ever participated in an opera-

tion like this. We are really excited

about the opportunity to tackle this

challenging maneuver, and we‟re

confident we‟ll get the job done.

We remain indebted to our

teammates at home. Even while the

majority of the company is across

the South Pacific, the Schofield Bar-

racks team is still operating at top

speed and executing construction

projects. This is absolutely a team

effort. We could not execute off-

island missions without the steadfast

support of the entire group. Our

fates are inextricably bound; success

or failure depends on our ability to

communicate and work together.

It is obvious, but not often men-

tioned, that in arriving in Guam

means we have left many behind.

I cannot miss an opportunity to

thank our families and friends for

their unwavering support. Being

apart from loved ones can be dif-

ficult and stressful. This month,

the company talked about ADM

James Stockdale, a Vietnam POW

who was imprisoned and tortured

for almost 8 years. After he was

released and returned home to his

wife, he said: “I never lost faith in

the end of the story, I never

doubted not only that I would get

out, but also that I would prevail

in the end and turn the experience

into the defining event of my life,

which, in retrospect, I would not

trade." There is an end to this

story, and with your support and

our soldier‟s hard work we will

prevail. In doing so, we‟ll experi-

ence something that we‟ll all look

back on and be proud of. I only

ask that you keep faith with the

Wolfpack family. We are gone

for now, but it won‟t be long until

we are home again.

CPT Todd Mainwaring, Com-

mander of 643rd Company

The Wolfpack has arrived.

Four months after the 84th Engi-

neer Battalion deployed to

Guam, the 643rd Engineer Com-

pany now joins its battalion

headquarters at Camp Coving-

ton. The move finally reunites

the company with 2nd Platoon, a

vertical platoon that has been

working with 523rd up to this

point. There is a comfortable

feeling to have the majority of

the Wolfpack together again.

Many of our troops have been

spread across the battalion for

several months. 1SG McKinney,

who took responsibility of the

company in February after 2nd

Platoon had departed, said “it is

great to finally meet these sol-

diers I‟ve only been able to track

on paper for the last few

months.” This move to Guam is

the first step to gather the „Pack‟

back together.

CCAD Missions Build Relations in the Pacific

643rd Wolfpack Corner Continues

1LT Shane Wright

The 643rd Engineer Com-

pany, 84th Engineer Battalion

(CE) continues to shape the

Pacific and build Host Nation

(HN) relationships through the

execution of Civil Construc-

tion Action Details (CCAD).

Second in priority to the Air-

Detachment, these missions

are more than just construction

projects. Currently, the Com-

pany is preparing to or execut-

ing three CCAD missions in

Palau, the Federated States of

Micronesia (FSM) and the

Marshall Islands (MHL). The

main objectives of these mis-

sions are to build and sustain

grassroot relations with the

HN, strengthen local institu-

tions, and demonstrate U.S

commitment to local populace.

These objectives are achieved

through troop construction

projects, skill transfer pro-

grams, civil health engage-

ments and community relationships.

A great deal of responsibility is put

on the teams and their leadership as

they truly are the face of the Unit,

Army and the United States. Sol-

diers can‟t be just skilled construc-

tion workers. All are required to be

mentors to their HN counterpart and

part of the community.

“We are proud to be here and repre-

sent everyone”, said 1LT Danielle

Monroe, Civic Action Team-Palau

(CAT-P) OIC, “It motivates you

getting out of bed everyday know-

ing your making a huge difference

in peoples lives.”

Both CCAD FSM and

CAT-P have over 10 HN appren-

tices which they teach construction

skills, proper equipment use and

safety procedures while completing

troop construction projects. In both

locations, apprentices receive pay

from the local government, however

the real benefit is the knowledge

gained which makes each apprentice

more competitive in the job mar-

ket. Furthermore, civil health en-

gagements are being conducted

which show the local populous

how to eat and live healthy lives as

well as preventative medicine tech-

niques to fight against disease.

Perhaps the most rewarding part of

these missions is the Community

relations aspect. The CCADs es-

tablish strong community relations

through movie nights, participating

in national holidays and events and

field days at local elementary

schools.

“The local community has wel-

comed us with open arms, provid-

ing us with local culture and invit-

ing us to various community

events,” said 1LT Rob Leedham,

CCAD FSM OIC. And while the

mission only last four to six

months, the experience Soldiers

will receive through these missions

will last a lifetime.

By Airman 1st Class Mariah Hadden-

ham

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE,

Guam -- In late 1944, a U.S. Army

commander and his troops ventured to

Guam for an air strip construction mis-

sion, enabling B-29 Superfortress' to

launch air raids on mainland Japan.

The finished product, North Field --

now Northwest Field-- is still in use

today.

Almost 60 years later, Army Capt.

Jeffrey Beeman, 523rd Engineer Com-

pany commander, took charge of con-

struction efforts on the same site his

grandfather, Army Col. Herbert

Brown, former 854th Aviation Battal-

ion commander, completed before the

end of World War II.

"What has made my service all the

more special are the similarities be-

tween my grandfather and I," CPT

Beeman said. "We both served in the

Army as engineers, both commanded

America's finest, and both have had

significant missions that have shaped

Guam on the exact same ground that

he once turned from jungle to a dual air

strip."

The original site construction be-

gan in December 1944 with the first

runway becoming active Feb. 3, 1945.

Construction continued and was com-

plete in April 1945, meaning both air

strips were functional, along with air-

craft parking, hangars, fuel depots and

taxiways.

North field continued to grow

throughout the years, eventually be-

coming Andersen AFB, but the origi-

nal site has remained an operational

portion of the base. To this day, North-

west Field houses an active runway,

along with many of the original roads,

quarries and infrastructure still used by

various squadrons for daily missions

and exercises.

"I have tremendous pride in the

fact that my grandfather's air strip is

still in use today and is of such strate-

gic importance," CPT Beeman said.

"To him, evidenced throughout his

professional writings, building North

Field was without a question his

greatest accomplishment."

The 523rd Engineer Company is

the first Army engineer battalion to

deploy to Guam and recently replaced

Navy units that were on regular rota-

tion in the area, which made the op-

portunity to work on the site of his

grandfather's all the more special.

During a nine-day period, CPT

Beeman's unit managed to clear ap-

proximately 40 acres of jungle to ex-

pand the field's perimeter and improve

defensive measures. Additionally, the

523rd Engineer Company built a com-

bat road around the entire perimeter to

ensure military police could maneuver

quickly around the site, all while pro-

tecting historic construction.

CPT Beeman's time in service

brought him in close proximity to one

of his grandfather's legacies and al-

lowed him to reflect on his military

career. Both CPT Beeman's grandfa-

ther and father served in the U.S.

Army, influencing his decision to be-

come an Army officer.

"My father's military experience

influenced me to join the military

more than anything, but my grandfa-

ther was the one who influenced me

to become an engineer," CPT Beeman

said. "In many cases, one of the great

things about the military is the family

traditions passed down from genera-

tion to generation."

Family Heritage among the Engineers

Army Col. Herbert Brown, former 854th Avia-

tion Battalion commander, was responsible for the initial construction of North Field, Guam, completed in April, 1945. Almost 60 years

later, his grandson, Army Capt. Jeffrey Bee-man, 523rd Engineer Company commander, took charge of new construction and expansion

Day in the Life of CHOPS

CHOPS Corner

By CPT Eric Creighton

The S3 provides mission com-

mand for the battalion. This

basically involves three basic

functions: calendar manage-

ment, operations order produc-

tion and reporting. For some

battalions, this can be a daunt-

ing task. For the never daunted

Soldiers of the 84th EN BN S3,

we do it every day. The BN S3

team consists of MAJ Work-

man at the helm with CPT

Creighton, LT Fulco, LT

Spies, SFC Ompad, SGT Mas-

ters and SPC Sigrah providing

support.

It may not sound reward-

ing, but calendar management

is extremely important. The

battalion runs in many differ-

ent directions and there must

be careful management of

movement, otherwise a head-

on collision of efforts can oc-

cur. The S3 forecasts these

potential conflicts and changes

to ensure the battalion‟s calen-

dar is synched and future events are

properly resourced.

The S3 also manages the pro-

duction and management of orders.

Orders provide companies with di-

rection and purpose to execute their

missions. It also provides the neces-

sary cross company coordination for

resources which the company may

not organically own.

The S3 is ad-

ditionally respon-

sible for the re-

ceipt and dissemi-

nation of reports.

Reports paint a

picture for the

battalion com-

mand team and

staff, higher and

adjacent com-

mands to assist in

the making of

decisions. It also

lets the battalion

know where there

may be resource

shortfalls for the

companies and if efforts need to be

shifted.

The companies of the battalion

are where the rubber meets the

road. They are the entities execut-

ing the battalion‟s mission. The S3

does its very best to ensure that the

companies are properly resourced

and have the purpose and direction

to ensure mission success.

Operating the Central Tool Room

S4 Supply Corner

By: 84th EN BN CTR Team

Working in the Naval

Station Guam Camp Cov-

ington Central Tool Room,

(CTR) is a challenge that

few will understand until it

becomes their responsibil-

ity. It is certainly new and

different for the three sol-

diers responsible for the

daily inventory,

issue, and mainte-

nance of the

$3,000,000 in-

ventory located

here in Camp

Covington.

The Noncom-

missioned Officer

in Charge, Ser-

geant Kevin Ed-

wards, who is

overall responsi-

ble, discusses one

of the largest ob-

stacles that he

personally had to

overcome. “My

MOS is 12R [Interior Elec-

trician.] So I am accus-

tomed to being on the pro-

ject sweating in the sun all

day.” He further goes on to

clarify, “The most challeng-

ing part is learning a whole

new system.” Although the

concepts between Navy inven-

tory management and Army

property book management are

similar, they are still very differ-

ent processes and therefore re-

quire very diligent attention to

detail to ensure proper mainte-

nance.

SPC Ryan Pape and SPC

Anthony Velázquez are responsi-

ble for conducting the daily op-

erations. They give a clear ac-

count of what the new process is

like for them. “We track and ac-

count for every tool and toolkit

that leaves and comes in to this

warehouse. We have to ensure

that every kit that leaves comes

back with the same inventory

with the same cleanliness and

working order as it was when

issued. Additionally, we update

and revise tool trackers, per-

form monthly operations checks

on tools and equipment and per-

form biweekly and monthly

inventories. We have been

learning more about the process

throughout the deploy-

ment.”

In addition to the pro-

jects located here on

Guam, the team is also

responsible for supporting

multiple detachment sites

to include Diego Garcia,

Marshall Islands, Micro-

nesia and Timor lest.

Normally logisticians

conduct inventory man-

agement. Knowing what

tools are available for

getting the job done pro-

vides valuable insight

when they return to the

jobsite. The Central Tool

Room is a critical part in ensur-

ing the projects and jobs get

done in Guam and throughout

the Pacific on the detachment

sites.

By 1LT Jennifer Fulco

The embarkation team

is tasked with one of

the most important

jobs within the 84th Engineer Bat-

talion during the deployment in

Guam; to be able to support the Air

Detachment by emergency deploy-

ing their equipment to support and

aid a disaster or emergency in the

Pacific. The embark team‟s main

mission it to ensure all equipment

and containers are prepped and

ready to be put on an aircraft or sea

vessel for shipment in the case of

an emergency. The embark team

consists of six stages: initial in-

spection, hazardous inspection,

weighing and marking, shoring,

data entry, and staging of chalks.

During a the forty-eight hour

Battalion Emergency Deployment

Readiness Exercise (EDRE), the

transportation team and the embarka-

tion team work together to get the Air

Detachment deployed. The transpor-

tation team washes and preps the

equipment for the Embark team to

continue to prepare the documenta-

tion for the equipment to be loaded

for the shipment.

The embarkation stages seam

simple but they are critical and, if

not done correctly, could cause mis-

sion failure. Each vehicle needs to

be weighed precisely and the center

of gravity needs to be calculated and

marked. It is very important that the

weight is accurate so that the data

entry operator can create the load

plans for the air craft or sea vessel.

Another very important task is to

certify all the hazardous material in

containers or in the equipment. A

hazardous declaration is needed for

every piece of cargo that will be

loaded onto an aircraft or sea vessel

with hazmat to include any equip-

ment with batteries, petroleum, oil,

and lubricants, and fuel.

Transportation Coordinator's Auto-

mated Information for Movement

System (TC-Aims) is one of the most

critical stages of embarkation. Dur-

ing this stage the TC-Aims operator

imputes critical information into TC-

Aims to build load plans (either air-

craft or sea vessel). The information

includes the weight, dimensions, se-

rial number, and vehicle type of the

equipment. The information is im-

puted into the TC-Aims software.

After all the data is loaded into the

TC-Aims software it is loaded into

The Integrated Computerized De-

ployment System (ICODES) to create

the air load plan to be given to the

Air Force for air movements or the

Navy for sea movements. SGT Baker

is the supervisor and key operator for

the TC-Aims section. He has been a

critical assets to the embark team.

SGT Baker says it very simply, “We can

rush to complete the task, but if the TC

Aims isn‟t done right the equipment isn‟t

getting on the plan.” Embark is made up

of many different moving parts that all

need to come together to accomplish the

mission.

Embarkation is a new process that the

Soldiers of the 84th Engineer Battalion

have learned. The Battalion has received

training and classes from the 30 Naval

Construction Regiment based out of Port

Hueneme, California. Since January

2013 the battalion has conducted two

full Emergency Deployment Readiness

Exercises.

The embark team also moves equip-

ment throughout the pacific for missions

being conducted by the horizontal and

vertical Companies of the battalion.

Since the beginning of the deployment

the embark team has moved twenty-three

pieces of Civil Engineer Support Equip-

ment and containers throughout the is-

lands in the Pacific including Palau,

Kosrae in the Federal States of Microne-

sia, and also Majuro and Kwajalein in

the Marshall Islands.

Embarkation is a very critical job

that is accomplished with the team in the

Distribution Platoon in the Forward Sup-

port Company. The Soldiers have come

together making this complicated proc-

ess streamline. Without the embark team

the missions could not be completed.
