🚨 Know before you go 🚨

*** ATTN: OFFICIAL CHANGE TO ACP HOURS 30 JAN 2023 ***

EDIT: SGT Duran ACP will remain 24/7.

The Fort Bliss Senior Commander has authorized adjustments to Installation Access Control Points (ACPs) based on a deliberate analysis of regulatory & guard requirements, vehicle utilization of gates, and force protection measures. The Directorate of Emergency Services will continue to analyze adjustments to traffic patterns and may recommend further changes within the next 30 days.

Fort Bliss will return CSM Barreras ACP to operations on 30 January 2023 with hours between 5 AM - 9 PM (MON - FRI). This change will simultaneously affect hours at Chaffee ACP, SGT Duran ACP, Sheridan ACP, and Minue ACP on 30 January 2023.

📌 Chaffee ACP will cease weekend operations, but it will continue to operate between 5 AM - 9 PM (MON - FRI). Commercial truck traffic will use Buffalo Soldiers ACP to access Fort Bliss on the weekends.

📌 SGT Duran ACP will cease 24/7 operations, and it will continue with new hours of 5 AM - 1 PM (MON - FRI). William Beaumont Army Medical Center patrons will continue to have 24/7 access through Espinoza ACP.

📌 Sheridan ACP will adjust its weekday operations to occur between 5 AM - 5 PM (MON - FRI), which is a four hour reduction from its previous stop time of 9 PM.

📌 Minue ACP will extend outbound only traffic to occur between 4 PM - 8 PM (MON - FRI), which is a two hour extension from its previous stop time of 6 PM.

Staff Sgt. Justin Gould has been recognized as the Hero of the Week.

Staff Sgt. Gould hit the ground running during his Rehearsal in Place / Transfer of Authority with the 902nd Contracting Battalion. Originally slated to assume the role as the Field Ordering Officer (FOO) Program Manager, Staff Sgt. Gould leapt at the opportunity to fill in for a late deploying teammate and learned all the ins and outs as both the FOO Program Manager and the S3 Operations Non-commissioned Officer in Charge.

He signed coordinated and signed for the dispatching and servicing of vehicles, inventoried and signed for all equipment, coordinated for the signature of barracks rooms, and helped his 919th Contracting Battalion Team settle in by informing them of the resources, equipment, and education provided in order to minimize the impacts of the deployment.

Staff Sgt. Gould has truly gone above and beyond. We look forward to this young NCO expounding an already great FOO program and adding to our Operations shop.

Today, the Casing Ceremony for the 919th Contracting Battalion (CBN) took place at U.S. Army Fort Bliss as the Battalion prepares for their deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR).

The very heart of a unit is symbolized by the colors under which the Troops serve. The colors stand as a silent reminder of the past glories and traditions, lend inspiration for present endeavors, and shine like a guiding beacon into the future. The essence of the casing ceremony is an event marked by tradition, honor, respect, and sacrifice.

During the ceremony, the 919th CBN also replaced the full color U.S. flag to the subdued flag on their Army Combat Uniforms. The switching of the flag signifies that the unit is transforming from Garrison Duty to Combat Duty in support of OIR.

On October 24th-28th, 2022, the 919th Contracting Battalion (CBN) Headquarters Staff completed their Staff Exercise (STAFFEX) in preparation for their deployment to assume authority of Regional Contracting Command Operation Inherent Resolve (RCC-OIR) and subordinate regional contracting offices. The goal of RCC-OIR is to sustain and maintain Army readiness for the OIR mission.

Lt. Col. Latasha Watson and Master Sgt. Willie McIntosh of the 418th Contracting Support Brigade served as facilitators of the STAFFEX for the 919th CBN Headquarters Staff.

During the STAFFEX, the 919th CBN team performed essential battle command planning, coordination, integration, synchronization, and control functions under a simulated wartime condition. The process was guided through the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP).

Following the STAFFEX, the 919th CBN team members were confident that the exercise improved team integration and better planning processes that will ultimately benefit them during their contingency contracting mission.
