Heads up, Able Team: starting Monday you'll only be allowed in the PX, Commissary, and Shoppette if you have a mask/scarf/balaclava/neck gaiter covering your nose and mouth.

Able Team!

Sorry for another video with my face, but I'm working from home and I don't have a white board like I do at the office.

Below is me reading and explaining some of the highlights of the COg's Stay at Home Order.

Stay safe everyone!

Able Team,

Sorry for my ugly mug popping up on your news feed. We can't hold a regular SFRG meeting, and due to Social Distancing I can't even really talk to the company leadership all at once.

Here's my first attempt at relaying information in a manner other than sharing Garrison's information to the page. Mainly I'm going over what "Mission Essential" is and who needs to come in to work and why.

Please put your questions below and I'll be sure to answer either in a reply or later in another consolidated update.

Always Able!

Able Team,

There's a lot coming out every day in response to COVID 19 and it's effect on the unit and Fort Riley. Mrs. Herbert and I are sharing things periodically on here to keep everyone informed, but just to expand on some things here are the three priorities we currently have in the Brigade:

"The 3 P's"

1) Protect the Force (includes continuing to maintain physical security, CQ, and Staff Duty)

2) Prevent the Spread (as of today we're limiting down to groups of 5 or fewer, continuing hand washing stations, minimizing who needs to come to work)

3) Preserve Readiness

Preserving Readiness is why we must continue to conduct maintenance, services, Physical Training, and yes things like rifle ranges and Combat Lifesaver training. At the end of the day we're still the US Army and he have a mission. Some risk has to be assumed by commanders (starting with me) in order to ensure readiness, but if you have a specific issue relating to safety or childcare that has arisen due to all these COVID 19 restrictions, then please let the Chain of Command know and we will immediately action to help you.

If you have any concerns, send a message and we'll work to see what we can do to help. Also, refer to the recent CG's Frequently Asked Questions page shared to the page.
