A special 593rd CSC Summer Holiday Message from the Summit command team.
Summit Team,
As we transition into the warmer months and further into the "100 Days of Summer," CSM Bower and I want to encourage everyone to deliberately pause, reset, and focus on safety. This season is synonymous with outdoor activities, travel, and celebrations, making it a perfect time to utilize opportunity leave. We highly encourage you to take this time to step away, reconnect with your Families and our local community, and recharge for the missions ahead.
This summer holds profound historical significance for our formation and our country. In June, we celebrate the Army Birthday, honoring the enduring legacy, sacrifice, and professionalism of the Soldiers who have defended our nation since its inception. Shortly after, we will celebrate a monumental milestone: America’s 250th Birthday. As we commemorate the Semiquincentennial of the United States, I ask each of you to reflect on the freedoms we cherish, the Constitution we have sworn an oath to defend, and the unmatched opportunity our Nation provides. We are incredibly proud to serve alongside you during this historic chapter.
While this is a time for celebration, the 100 Days of Summer is historically one of the most hazardous periods for accidents. Whether you are traveling, exploring the Pacific Northwest, or enjoying a barbecue, please make good choices: drive responsibly with a road-ready vehicle, stay alert to cold water hazards, wear a life jacket, celebrate responsibly by never mixing alcohol with driving or swimming, and handle fireworks legally and with extreme caution.
Being part of the 593d Corps Sustainment Command means we take care of our own. Look out for your battle buddies and hold your teammates accountable for making safe decisions. If you or someone in your community needs assistance—whether financial, emotional, or just a listening ear—please remember that our Unit Ministry Team, Military Family Life Counselors (MFLC), and local resources remain readily available.
Thank you for your tireless dedication, professionalism, and selfless service. Enjoy your well-earned opportunity leave, celebrate our Nation’s milestones with pride, and most importantly, return to us safe.
"Rest Assured, Sustain the Corps!”
