Ok Strike Team, let’s talk about Mindset. Mindset is an approach, a way of thinking, or a set of attitudes and beliefs about how we view the world. It can be a lens through which we experience adversity and stress. Bottom line - how we choose to interpret challenges affects how we perform under pressure. When we adopt what is known as a “growth” or “stress mindset,” we see stress as helpful to performance. Not only do we perform better, but we leverage challenging situations as opportunities for growth. These experiences help us become stronger, wiser, and more resilient. As a result, we stand more mentally and physically ready for the next challenge.

Our NTC rotation is prime opportunity for this. Let’s maximize our training by regulating our mindset. If you want to learn more about how to do this, talk to your 2/1 H2F Mental Readiness team or check out this article from Human Performance Resources by CHAMP: https://www.hprc-online.org/mental-fitness/sleep-stress/make-stress-good-you

Strike Brigade, remember this number: 988.

988 is the new, shorter, and easier to remember number for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. This confidential and free hotline (formerly the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline) is available nationwide, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. Callers experiencing emotional distress or suicidal crisis are quickly connected to a trained counselor for support. The old number, 1-800 273-TALK, still works too!

Remember there are mental readiness, spiritual readiness, counseling, and behavioral health resources available right here in 2nd BDE. Go to https://visibook.com/2bct1adh2f or walk-in to Bldg. 20565 Old Ironsides to connect with the Mental Readiness team, call the 24/7 Chaplain line at 915-637-4265, talk to Military and Family Life Counseling at 915-270-0344, or reach the 2/1 Embedded Behavioral Health (EBH) team at 915-742-1782.

Next up for 2nd Brigade’s Foundational Readiness Training focus on Sleep Management: Caffeine.

Caffeine can be effective for optimizing mental alertness and improving cognitive performance in operational environments. The key to success is to use it wisely.

During periods of restricted sleep (6 hours or less per night), tactical napping combined with appropriate doses of caffeine may help sustain performance and alertness. For most individuals, the optimal dose of caffeine is 200 milligrams every 6 hours on duty. Check out these graphics for more details. Be sure to stop use at least 4-6 hours before bedtime and follow any specific recommendations from your medical provider.

1-35 AR BN CoC Ceremony

06/02/2022

Strike Brigade’s upcoming Foundational Readiness Training focus is Sleep Management. Look for social media posts throughout the month of June that highlight techniques to improve sleep, strategies to maximize sleep in tactical environments, and a multitude of sleep improvement resources available to Strike Soldiers. Sleep is a critical element to Soldier performance, readiness, longevity, and overall health. It is one of the five H2F readiness domains.

Let’s get started with the basics: sleep tracking. Sleep tracking is effective because it brings attention to how daily habits and the environment affect our sleep. Tracking shows how changes you make in your daily routine impact the quality and quantity of sleep. Start tracking tonight with the Insomnia Coach App (free at this link Insomnia Coach | VA Mobile), the CBT-I Coach App (free at this link https://mobile.va.gov/app/cbt-i-coach), a paper sleep diary, your smart watch, or just a plain notebook.

Tomorrow begins a 3-week project from our Medical team.

At 47th Brigade Support Battalion, the Bone Marrow Drive will begin in support of Salute to Life. This drive will be offered at all BN's, right in their own footprint, over the course of these 3-weeks.

This is the first bone marrow registry drive at U.S. Army Fort Bliss as we understand it. It will only focus on making registration easy for Soldiers interested in volunteering (no actual bone will be taken here). All it takes is a willingness to fill out some paperwork and a mouth swab.

The chances of being a match is 1 in 430, but by bringing the opportunity to the Soldiers, we're hoping to find even one more match.

Remember, donating is voluntary. If matched, you're helping one of the 17,000 people diagnosed annually in need, approximately 500 of which come from DoD families.

Happy !

On this day celebrating the social, economical, cultural, and political achievements of women, we'd like to highlight two from within our own ranks.

Within 1st Battalion, 35th Armored Regiment, there is a shop led by two remarkable Army Military Intelligence officers.

Captain Shayna Taylor (Officer-in-charge) and 2nd Lieutenant Grace Nielson (Assistant Officer) run the S-2 shop for their battalion with excellence and a desire to succeed. Both strive to provide accurate information and analytics to advise the commander in any given situation. Both work to develop the Soldiers who serve in their shop. Both prepare, ensuring they are ready for any mission.

When asked why she served, CPT Taylor had this to say:
"I serve because I am able, because I love my country, and because I'm dedicated to the Soldiers serving to my left and right. As an officer, service facilitates the rare opportunity to support and lead others in the pursuit of a common goal. I love it."

Both plan to continue to serve to the best of their ability, leading by example.

For our Team's awareness:

While we watch world events carefully, our focus remains on our current training mission and improving our overall readiness. There is no change to our mission at this time. We will continue to increase our Soldier's proficiency on their assigned weapons platforms over the coming months.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. We pause to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who died during the attack in Hawaii Dec. 7, 1941. The attack also injured 1,178 people and damaged or destroyed 19 Navy ships and hundreds of Navy and Army Air Corps aircraft. The day after the attack, the United States declared war on Japan and so entered World War II. President Franklin Roosevelt, in a speech to Congress, stated that the bombing of Pearl Harbor was “a date which will live in infamy."

We honor their service.

We would like to congratulate our soldiers for successfully completing the Testing for the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge.
