Every member of the Army team contributes to effective Public Affairs. The Soldier is the most effective communicator of the Army story. The primary P
ublic Affairs functional areas are command information, public information, and community relations. Public Affairs principles and core processes are detailed in FM 3-61 and JP 3-61. These regulations also describe the Department of Defense (DOD) principles of information.

Awesome job to our 302nd MPAD Soldiers on this story!
BUCKEYE, Ariz. - In a continuous effort to build its esprit de corps and culture, U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers of the 492nd Civil Affairs Battalion (CA BN) in Buckeye, Arizona conducted a road march event as part of a new yearly tradition on September 18, 2022.
PT doesn’t have to be the same thing every day. Mix it up with some team sports!

One of the best times for profile shots is that “soft” lighting when the sun is rising, especially on a cloudy day.

The Army doesn’t endorse a specific brand of coffee. But you’ll find coffee in every MRE.
Soldiers practiced photography while others refueled: win win for both.

Fun fact: Photographers in the Army are never supposed to pose the subjects in their photos.
For training, we posed the subjects to focus on the other aspects of the camera: focus, shutter speed, ISO, and aperture.

201st Soldier waits for another Soldier climbing up the steps at Baldwill Hills Scenic Overlook for physical training 💪🏼
Next month the APFT is phased out officially and replaced by the ACFT.
As a tribute to 9/11, we did the stair hike at Baldwin Hills for PT. It took an average of 10 minutes to walk up the short hike and the 282 steps.
We would have to do that climb 10 times to come close to what the first responders ran up in the twin towers with no less than 70lbs of gear.
This weekend, 201st practiced photography and captions! If you’d like to review your caption skills, see the example below:

Today we take a moment to remember the ultimate sacrifice of the New York City first responders. We acknowledge the hardships that the families endured and the challenges that the country faced.

Practice practice practice... makes more practice! Setting up a two-camera interview seems easy (and it should be!). If you don’t rehearse set ups you’re more prone to make mistakes: forgetting focus, tilting the camera, forgetting the secondary sound, not setting sound levels, and before you know it - your interviewee has run out of time and you’ve missed your chance.
New enlistment and reenlistment bonuses and incentives have published for the U.S. Army Reserves. Currently serving Soldiers should contact their retention NCO.
201st TPASE provided Public Affairs support for the 453rd CBRN BN unit’s Change of Command Ceremony this Saturday. U.S. Army Reserve Maj. Brandon Hale took command of the battalion from the outgoing Commander Col. Dominic Dinh.

~ New tattoo policy ~

Soldiers may now have one tattoo on each hand that does not exceed one inch in length. One tattoo no larger than two inches is allowed on the back of the neck, and an inch-long tattoo is allowed behind each ear.
Tattoos can also be on the sides of the fingers as long as they are not visible when the fingers are closed.

The U.S. soldiers were familiarized with the SAR 21 rifle and the Singaporean soldiers were familiarized with the M4A1 rifle.
Most of the SAF soldiers have never used an M4, according to their Alpha team leader.
Lighting Strike is a part of TBE and includes the hands-on portion of the exercise.

Every soldier in the U.S. Army is a *combatant and trains with a rifle or hand gun. That means every man and woman - infantry or accounting - qualify with a weapon.
Everything comes down to the fundamentals: body position, breathing, trigger squeeze, and sight picture.
*Chaplains and conscientious objectors are non-combatants

The riderless horse returns to the Caisson platoon from a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. The horse carries the rank of the fallen soldier. All the soldiers working stopped what they’re doing to render a final salute.
The boots on the horse are backwards, symbolizing the rider looking back on his troops one last time.

A fun, full, and challenging weekend for the 201st TPASE. The pandemic put a lot on pause and this is was an opportunity for everyone to meet and learn face-to-face. Rifle qualification was the goal but becoming a better team was an additional outcome.
This April is when the record Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is scheduled to take effect. How does this change things? The diagnostic ACFT did not have any repercussions for soldiers who failed. This record test will affect promotion, retention, and selection for schools.
We should all strive to be as prepared as our high speed cadets, like CDT Sarah Chow!
America’s diversity is our greatest strength, as people of different backgrounds, cultures and heritage share their unique perspective, skills and talents. Our Army is stronger because of this diversity and we must ensure that every member of the force has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential.

Guardians Always Vigilant! The 201st recognized four service members today for their dedication to the unit and their performance. Hooah!
Happy Veterans Day to all of our service members, past and present. Your dedication and service to our nation is never forgotten.
At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, November 11th 1918, the Allies formally declared an armistice with their final adversary, Germany. The other members of the Central Powers, Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary, and the soon to be dismantled Ottoman Empire had previously signed separate armistices with the Allies. After four years the war that had been known as both the “Great War”, and “the war to end all wars”, was over. The U.S. had joined the fighting relatively late into the war, our contribution was no less appreciated by the already bloodied Allies.
While Armistice Day, known now as Remembrance Day in Commonwealth nations, is still celebrated in Europe today, it would take the U.S. more than thirty years for the day to take its present form as Veterans Day.
In 1926 Congress adopted a resolution requesting President Coolidge to make yearly addresses calling on Americans to observe and celebrate the day.
The name first came into being in 1945 when a WWII veteran, Raymond Weeks, from Birmingham Alabama, first proposed that the day should encompass all U.S. veterans. He led a delegation to encourage Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to petition for the idea. While it did not gain traction then, Weeks held the first unofficial Veterans Day celebration in Birmingham AL, on November 11, 1947. In 1954, U.S. Representative Edward Rees proposed the bill that would make Armistice Day into Veterans Day. It was signed by then President Eisenhower that same year. Raymond Weeks was awarded the Presidential Citizenship Medal by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. Having celebrated Veterans Day annually since 1947, Weeks would pass in 1985 knowing that he’d be remembered as the “Father of Veterans Day”.
