The 13th Support Command
started moving out for Bold
'Eagle ’85 on Sept. 15.
I PERSONNEL FROM both
"the 66th Engineer Company
*(ADM) 62nd Engineer Batta-
lio and the 553rd Supply &
Service Battalion loaded the
-first of several trains scheduled
to haul vehicles and equipment
Cto Elgin Air Force Base Fla.
.What made this railloading so
"different from all the others
:was the ease with which it was
accomplished.
“It was one of the smoothest
railloads anyone’s ever seen”
commented SFC James Kane
553rd Battalion movements
noncommissioned officer.
“The reason it operated so
smoothly was mainly due to
SSgt. Perez of the Directorate
of Logistics Units Movements
Branch. Due to him we did in
one day what we had scheduled
two days for. We marshalled

one place) staged (actually lin-
ing up the loaded vehicles be-
hind the appropriate railcar)
and did all the paperwork in
one day.”
Considering there were 124
vehicles loaded onto 44 railcars
this was no small accomplish-
ment. Then take into account
the immense amount of paper-
work that had to be filled out in
triplicate checked rechecked
and then checked again. It all
added up to a whole lot of work.
“A RAIL LOADING opera-
tion actually starts when a com-
manding officer is tasked to
provide vehicles and equip-
ent for mission support”
Kane explained. “He sends his
list to the battalion where it’s-
consolidated on a DD2940-R
(Vehicle Density List). From
there it goes on up and ends up
on Mr. Tippet’s desk. He’s the
head of the III Corps Materiel
Movements Branch. He hand-JJ
les the ordering of all the rail
cars and makes up the load
plans for each car” Kane con
Perhaps the increased costs of a move today
finding a place to live getting the children started

put you in a temporary financial bind.

tinued. “Every vehicle with any
equipment packed in it also has
to have a 1750 (packing list)
accounting for everything in-
side the conex as well as having
a 1348-1.
“On top of this tankers and
generators require special
warning placards. All the vehi-
cles have to have between one-
half to three-quarters of a tank
of gas no more no less. All of
this has to be done and checked
once before the marshalling is
even done. Then we marshall
and SSgt Perez checks every-
thing. After this we stage the
equipment and tie it all down.
Finally tlie people from the rail-
road make their checks and
we’re ready to roll out. Any-
where along the line some-
thing can go wrong. Credit for
this operation going so smooth-
ly really belongs to both SSgt
Perez and 1st Lt. Mark Manza
553d S & S Bn. Manza was the
officer in charge of this loadout
arid both of them deserve a pat
on the back for a job really well
done.”

Organization Day has always
been an important event for
13th Support Command.
THIS YEAR’S celebration
was no different when SUP-
COM closed all its facilities on
Sept. 27 in recognition of SUP-
COM soldiers for their accom-
plishments in performing their
ever important missions.
Organization Day was held at
Sadowski field with the open-
ing ceremony at 6:30 a.m. At
that time SUPCOM Comman-
der Col. William Fedorochko
Jr. started off the celebration
with “Let the games begin.”
Soldiers had the opportunity
to prove their abilities in num-
erous events ranging from the
two-mile run to numerous relay
races volleyball and softball.
As competitors tried to outdo
one another the units were
vying for the “best battalion”
title.
FOR THOSE who worked up
an appetite or thirst lots of food
and drinks were made avail-
able. Freeman’s dining facility
