FOB Salerno, Afghanistan
Thanksgiving Edition

November 2011

Dear Families and Friends of the Wolfpack,
We hope you enjoy the second edition of the Wolfpack Dispatch, our
unit newsletter from Afghanistan. The intent of this publication is to keep
everyone on the home front up to date with the unit activities at FOB
Salerno.
The Wolfpack is doing great and November was another extremely
busy month. We are focused on providing continuous aviation support in
the area of operations and are already witnessing the positive effects of our
increased presence. We are setting a remarkable pace in the first couple

and the outstanding support received from the families and friends of Task
Force Wolfpack.
On November 11 we conducted a ceremony to award the 82nd Air-
borne Division combat patch to the troopers of Task Force Wolfpack. The
weather was great and motivation was high. The new combat veterans look
great with their 82nd patches on both shoulders. During the week of
Thanksgiving we were visited by COL Jamison and CSM Farmer who
helped us serve Thanksgiving dinner to the troopers. On Thanksgiving day
the Commanding General of the 1st Cavalry Division, MG Allyn, thanked
the troops for their service and presented three Bronze Star Medals and

Thanks for the support it is appreciated.

FOB Salerno: Looking Back
It is surreal writing from FOB Salerno in late 2011. I deployed to Afghanistan
nearly ten years ago with this battalion, then flagged 3-229th, with a home on Bagram
Airfield. We had the opportunity to live at Salerno for 14 day stints, if my memory
serves me correctly, rotating small teams in and out keeping an aviation element
here. We would move to Salerno and conduct missions with a few helicopters from a very aus-
tere post compared to what we have here now.

So many things have changed. My most vivid memories involve the Hescoe barriers
which provided security enclosing the FOB along with the tiny office we used in the very same
building our Battalion Headquarters currently occupies. There was no gym, AAFES PX, MWR
computer and phone facility, post office, Combat Support Hospital, Green Bean coffee shop,
barber shop, or laundry service. A phone and computer connection was tough to get. The one
or two phones we had access to were located in a small dark tent with the Fort Bragg DSN
switch number scratched into the wood desk and you crossed your fingers every time you lifted
the handset hoping to hear a dial tone. The computer connection was fed from a small satellite
dish and required two or three minutes to load a simple web page. The dining facility was at its
best when an Italian Airborne Infantry Battalion resided here complete with a bakery produc-
ing fresh bread for every meal of pasta. I remember standing in lines for meals just to enjoy the
wait and smell the containerized kitchen bakery. Today we have cement buildings to live and
work out of, but back then the small FOB was almost entirely built with military tents cooled by
fans moving hot summer air. I still say the hottest day of my life was spent trying to sleep on a
cot, in a tent with the sides rolled up to avoid a dreary afternoon at Salerno.

Troopers did a lot of things to pass the time. I remember a make shift gym built as peo-
ple rotated through. It included a lot of rocks and likely would have impressed Fred Flintstone.
Additionally, I remember volleyball and the dirt court with a makeshift net and its constant
popularity. The post volleyball shower used a very different facility from the modern amenities
built here over the past ten years. I recall a local Afghan-type mud building using make shift

a laptop and the briefing projector to watch movies on a wooden patio attached to our tent on a
hand-made plywood movie screen filling the dark night hours. There were no aviation hangers,
no aircraft parking pads complete with taxi ways, and no control tower moving air traffic in and
out. It is remarkable the difference ten years can make.

I was interested to return to Salerno and experience the

changed in so many important ways. A decade ago it was a small,

same Afghan corner, just remarkably improved with little simi-
--the same place creating
another set of lifelong memories.

Stay Wolfpack.

Giving Thanks, CSM Inniss

It is hard to believe many of us from Fort Bragg deployed over 60 days

some of our many blessings especially as we celebrate Thanksgiving:
Our tremendous teammates we work with daily from the National
Guard and Army Reserve
The support of our friends and families back home
The quality of life and civilian support we receive here at FOB
Salerno to enable our efforts
The Troopers of this Task Force are working extremely hard day in and
day out in support of operations. It is a true privilege and honor to lead
these men and women, but I would be remiss if I did not say thank you to
each and every one of them and acknowledge the support from home that
makes it possible.
Airborne - All The Way!

Dear Wolfpack Families,

awards and special events that have taken place during November. To be exact, ten Troopers
have been promoted and twenty have been given various awards and decorations for their hard
work. There are pictures of these events located throughout the newsletter and in particular on
the highlights pages (pg 19-20).

th day occupying an area in a combat zone, Troop-

ers are authorized to wear the shoulder sleeve insignia-former wartime service patch. This
patch is worn on the right shoulder sleeve and is more commonly known as the combat patch.
For most Troopers, this is a rite of passage that has to be earned through a deployment to a
combat zone. It just so happened that this year, the combat patch ceremony coincided with
Armistice Day. It was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918,

seven months prior to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Shortly thereafter in 1919, Presi-

the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity
it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the na-

celebration still stands as true today as it did back then.
Every Soldier knows that the DFAC food can get a little routine, and will never compare
to the homemade meals that our Wolfpack families make. For Thanksgiving however, with the
assistance of the Wolfpack Commanders and First Sergeants, the dining facility gave everyone
a nice treat with a full spread of food. They had everything you can imagine for Thanksgiving,

typical DFAC meals and was a good time for the Wolfpack team to sit down and give thanks.
Chaplain Shenton has issued a challenge for every member of the Wolfpack, The 82nd
Challenge. The flyer below has all of the details. To sum it all up, the Chaplain has challenged
every Soldier to run 820 miles while deployed or to run 420 miles with a partner. Not everyone
can handle this feat of dedications and determination, are you up to The Challenge??

Until next month,

2LT Clark, Wolfpack PAO

every day of the week.
Although sometimes difficult, deployments offer soldiers, spouses, and families a new perspective on life
and things that truly matter. To aid in this process, the Wolfpack RST offers soldiers everything from religious
services and studies, books and devotionals, to care boxes and respite at our Religious Operations Center. In
addition, we always have time to fellowship or offer confidential counsel to soldiers as needs arise.
Spiritual fitness is not only mental but physical as well. To encourage our soldiers we have started the
82 nd Challenge at FOB Salerno, which challenges soldiers who take pride in being in the 82nd Airborne and en-

joy running to run 820 miles during the course of the deployment. As you all know, the Division Standard is a 4
mile run, so that works out to 205 laps, WOW! Right! But, you can do this individually or with your Battle
Buddy. If you run with your Battle, then the two of you will each run 412 miles or 103 laps over the course of
our deployment. I would like to extend this Challenge to our spouses at home. A soldier and spouse Battle
Buddy team would be a great way to stay connected. Encourage your soldier to sign you up!

Lastly, we will be ending the month by celebrating Thanksgiving. Even though we will be separated from friends and family
we all have much to be thankful for.
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the LORD is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his;;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;;

his faithfulness continues through all generations. Godspeed,
