ors during an uncasing ceremo-
ny Wednesday at Camp Arifjan,
Kuwait, marking the assumption
of their mission supporting the 1st
Sustainment Command (Theater)
in the U.S. Central Command
area.
The 13 th SC(E) from Fort

Command Sgt. Maj. Alonzo Smith,
III Corps and Fort Hood command
sergeant major, signed the Sexual
Harassment/Assault Response and
Prevention Resource Center Campus

The signing of the charter is a move
made by the Fort Hood SHARP team
to comply with a directive from the
Department of the Army to establish
