Command Sgt. Maj. Algrish C. Williams Sr., as-sumed responsibility for U.S. Army Garrison – Fort Jackson during a ceremony Oct. 23 at Victory Field on post.

As the unit sergeant major he will be the standard-bearer of the unit and responsible with safeguarding the unit colors, while advising the commander on Soldier and other issues.

know you,” Hankins said welcoming Williams into the garrison fold. “Having lived and served in the

Hall said she believes drive thru clinics are a good way to be safe.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for people to be able to get their vaccines, especially in a private environment so that they don’t have to worry about entering a clinic into a crowded space,” she said. “It’s convenient, it’s safe, and it allows us to get lots of people vaccinated over a short period of time.”

check in, Moncrief Soldiers screened them and made sure everything was documented in their medical records. The Soldiers then directed

them to another tent where they received the vaccination. Afterward patients were asked to wait in a designated parking area for 15 min-utes to ensure they did not have a reaction to the vaccination.

Meier described the event as being very or-ganized and precise.

“Most people don’t even have to get out of their car at all,” she said. “It’s been going very well. It’s been a very smooth process es-pecially once we have all our systems up and going. I think it goes faster than walking into Moncrief.”

Among those to get vaccinated was Fort Jackson Commander Brig. Gen. Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr.

More than half of all chaplain detachments in the U.S. Army Reserve moved under the 81st Readiness Division Oct. 16.

Of the 40 total units in the USAR, 22 now align under the Wildcat Nation.

The realignment comes with the added push to ensure all chaplain personnel are ready to deploy at a moment’s notice to better meet requirements to support both Reserve and ac-

begins with battle focus training, meeting all typical Soldier individual and collective task

ing, according to 81st RD Deputy Command Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Robert M. Farmer, who is spearheading the training.

With the detachments coming into the 81st RD fold, that means an additional 60 Soldiers will be added to the roster.

This is where the Mission Support Com-mand Group steps in. They will support the integration with MCSG administrative sup-port and logistical support, according to Maj.

This support includes, but is not limited to, le-

maintenance, and logistical support.

lain (Lt. Col.) David Brady with the 111th Chaplain Detachment out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina., who was just welcomed into

command and control, there will be no ques-tion if we’re ready to deploy. The training will come down from the division chaplain and we’ll be equally trained and monitored through the MCSG, ensuring we check all the blocks down the line.”

Farmer agreed, adding that the 81st RD is the ideal location to ensure the detachments are ready and available to meet the force gen-eration goals.

“As the garrison senior enlisted advisor you will support a population of over 2,400 permanent party Soldiers, 4,000 civilian employees, 70,000 trainees, 55,000 regional retirees and 48,000 Family members,” who collectively represent the cradle to grave lifecycle of a Soldier, said Hankins to Williams.

“This command will challenge you while testing your skills and attributes in every way,” he added.

After Hankins made his remarks, Williams took the podium and thanked the Garrison Team for the warm welcome.

“Col. Hankins, I look forward to our adventure together, a re-lationship we will forge as we continue to work with our partners and our surrounding community here on Fort Jackson,” Williams said.

He added his Family is humbled and proud by the opportunity to be a part of the Garrison Team.

“I pledge to provide positive mentorship and guidance to of-

members of this great organization along with enabling quality base support to Fort Jackson,” he said.

Williams said he will give 100% of himself and be accessible and approachable “always.”

Fort Jackson ArmySubstance Abuse Program

Wow. What a different kind of year it has been for everyone. Summer has ended. Fall is upon us. Now is the time to get ready for the beginning of the holiday season. The Fort Jackson Army Substance Abuse Program kicks off the season by asking you to support a substance abuse free lifestyle for our community and our youth by participating in the National Red Ribbon Week Campaign.

Here is just a brief history behind the Nation-al Red Ribbon Week Campaign. Many people may not be aware that Red Ribbon Week was established to honor Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Agency agent and former Marine, who was kidnapped, tortured and then

Mexico, in 1985. Members of KiKi’s hometown of Calexico, California, began wearing red rib-bons as a tribute to him over 35 years ago. In 1988, a congressional committee chaired by First Lady Nancy Reagan proclaimed the last week of October as National Red Ribbon Week. The

Department of Defense proudly joined the cel-ebration of the National Red Ribbon Week Cam-paign, which is our nation’s oldest and largest drug abuse prevention campaign, reaching mil-lions of Americans every year.

This year’s Campaign Theme is “Be Happy. Be Brave. Be Drug Free.” The Red Ribbon Week Campaign is directed toward youth in grades K-12, so it is very important that as a community we set the standard and discuss the importance of our youth living a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. At this point, just imagine how confused our youth must be with so many mixed signals as to what is normal. Together, we can ensure that our youth see us as a common front against drug and alcohol use and abuse. I feel that by using this year’s theme to drive the message home, we can help our youth to make smart decisions regarding drug and alcohol use and abuse.

BE HAPPY: support our youth by setting the example and showing them that a drug and alco-hol free life is a happy life.

BE BRAVE: acknowledge our youth by let-ting them know that we are proud of them for be-ing brave enough to stand up to peer pressure and

for choosing not to use drugs or alcohol.

drug and alcohol free sets them up for a success-ful and a brighter future.

Due to COVID-19, our campaign’s face-to-face events have been curtailed. The Fort Jack-son schools will still conduct the National Red Ribbon Week grade level themed poster contest. Each grade level winner will receive a goodie bag for their efforts. The ASAP will also partici-pate in the CYS Fall Festival Oct. 30, between 6-7:30 p.m. at the Youth Sports Complex. All visitors to the ASAP table will receive Red Rib-bons, promotional items and, of course, goodies for the kids and kids at heart.

The ASAP would like to ask that every mem-ber of our community wear red during the week of Oct. 23-31, as visual support for the Cam-paign. Believe me school age children will know that you are supporting them in a drug and alco-hol free lifestyle when they see you wearing red.

If you would like additional information re-garding the Red Ribbon Week Campaign or have questions about the ASAP’s services, call 751-7949.

HalloweenContinued from Page 2

Lack of visibility because of low lighting at night also plays a factor in these incidents.

Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.

Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in

dark clothing. Discourage new, inexperienced drivers from driving on

Halloween.

COVID 19 Considerations Social distance and limit close contact. Be particularly

mindful in areas where it may harder to keep this distance, such as restrooms and eating areas.

as at the end of a public event. Minimize gestures that promote close contact. For ex-

ample, do not shake hands, bump elbows, or give hugs. Instead

wave and verbally greet others. Wear a mask at all times when around people who don’t

live in your household to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Avoid singing, chanting, or shouting, especially when not

wearing a mask and within six feet of others. Do not use a costume mask (such as for Halloween) as

a substitute for a cloth mask unless it is made of two or more layers of breathable fabric that covers your mouth and nose and doesn’t leave gaps around your face.

Do not wear a costume mask over a cloth mask because it can be dangerous if the costume mask makes it hard to breathe. Instead, consider using a Halloween-themed cloth mask.

This is a list of upcoming Halloween activities on Fort Jackson. All events besides the Fall Festival are unit-level events for unit personnel. Contact the units directly for more information.

Housing Division Chief Luis Rosario-Febus, approved the following guidelines, which everyone participating should follow:

The exchange of treats should take place out-doors. Distributing or receiving candy/treats inside homes or garages is prohibited.

Residents will set up a station with individually bagged treats for each child to take. Residents will not allow trick or treaters to self-serve from a large container of items nor pass candy/treats directly into children’s bags. No haunted houses will be al-lowed in yards, garages, or homes.

Residents will stay 6 feet away from trick or treaters and direct contact with trick or treaters should be avoided.

Please note any treats/snacks that may contain food (e.g. peanuts) which may cause allergic reac-tions in some children.

A parent/guardian is required to supervise chil-dren during this event to ensure compliance and a safe environment for all participants.

Personal Protective Equipment All participants must wear a suitable face mask. A costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth

mask. Costume masks should not be worn over cloth

Masks should not be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Residents should wash hands before handling

treats. Parents should bring hand sanitizer for chil-

dren to use after touching objects or other people. Participants should wash hands with soap and

water for at least 20 seconds after returning home and before eating any treats.
