The 1st Armored Division, Division Sustainment Brigades' Unit Ministry Team conducted a focused spiritual fitness event for the Brigades staff to improve unit cohesion, increase morale, and develop spiritual identity.
Muleskinners were challenged physically, mentally, and spiritually in order to establish and reinforce spiritual and mental resilience.
Soldiers who participated were provided breakfast and had an opportunity to hear from Chaplain (CPT) Johnson about spiritual health reinforcement and the Army Values.
The training was conducted to help recharge the brigade as we go into the holiday season after a long and mission heavy year.
💨🤮 Muleskinners had familiarization training by visiting the gas chamber to ensure they know how to properly wear their protective equipment, which can save their lives in an emergency.
The gas chamber is a part of the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (CBRN) program. This type of training prepares Soldiers for the possibility of encountering dangerous or deadly contaminants.
In the chamber Soldiers had to break the seal of their gas mask, which exposes the face, eyes, and lungs to the gas.
1st Armored Division, Division Sustainment Brigade Human Resource section, (S1), conducted Leadership Professional Development (LPD) on awards standardization. The class focus was on timelines, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
By recognizing Muleskinners with awards for their hard work and commitment to missions, leaders understand the importance of processing the paperwork and getting the final approving signature within a timely manner.
Positively impacting Soldiers readiness and morale, a total of 53 leaders from all levels from Platoon Sergeants and above received the training.
Trainers addressed the Brigade commanders' priorities to set conditions for Fiscal Year 2023.

Muleskinner,
Another Thanksgiving meal for you.
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving

🦃Soldiers entered the Muleskinner Cafe' and were served their Thanksgiving meal by leaders throughout 142nd Division Sustainment Support Battalion, "Atlas", 1AD DSB and Division Sustainment Troops Battalion, 1AD DSB .
Soldiers waited patiently and smiled when they saw their command teams and were honored that leaders took the time to talk and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. Since "we" are all far from home and may not have moms' fancy cooking, the Culinary Specialists collectively came together to ensure the meal was a success.
1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss command team, Maj. Gen. James Isenhower, and Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Williams, both were on hand to issue medals and awards to the Culinary Specialist for their hard work and dedication.
1st Armored Division, Division Sustainment Brigade command team, COL Micah Hutchins and Command Sgt. Maj. Dawadrain Clark, praised the team as well and reminded them to continue to great things and thanked them for their service.
Afterwards, command teams walked around the dining facility to talk to Soldiers to let them know how much their hard work were appreciated.
A special table was setup for our missing battle buddy.
