The annual All American Week was held by the 82nd Airborne Division from May 16-20. Nearly 22,000 paratroopers attended events to honor the division's heritage and veterans. This year was the first time since 2006 that all the division's brigades participated in the Division Review. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Steven R. England thanked veterans for their sacrifices and current soldiers for their dedication during the review. Soldiers also participated in a memorial ceremony, joint operational demonstration, and various athletic competitions to represent Task Force Wolfpack during the week.

In the month of May, Echo Company has been gearing up for pre-deployment operation. The Company had a Pre- Deployment Assistant
Survey to evaluate the unit overall deployment readiness status. The Headquarters Platoon was evaluated on Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC),
Communication equipment, Vehicle readiness, and the Weapon’s operational status. During the PDAS Survey the Motorpool was involved in
preparing for the survey. SFC Youman and CW2 Hunter, with the help of several Soldiers, had four M978A2 HEMMT Fuel Trucks inspected so
that they could be taken on the deployment to Afghanistan to support Task Force Wolfpack. Each Platoon worked hard as a team to accomplish the
mission to get the job done. Each section received an overall “GO” during the survey.
Also in preparation for deployment, the Distribution, Headquarters Platoon and a section of the Motorpool has been busy preparing for the
High Altitude Mountain Environmental Training (HAMET) which will take place at Butts Army Airfield near Fort Carson, CO. Distribution
Platoon is sending 18 Troopers to set up a Forward Arming Refueling Point at the airfield to support TF Wolfpack’s Aviators as they train to fly in
high altitudes. The Headquarters’ Platoon is sending 10 Cooks to prepare hot meals throughout the training exercise. The Maintenance team
consisting of three Soldiers will provide mechanical support for the equipment during HAMET. Giving them valuable experience on what it’s like
to operate in a high altitude environment. While a few Soldiers of the Maintenance Platoon are at Fort Carson. The majority of the motorpool is

Throughout the company, Soldiers have been receiving additional training to sustain the company during deployment. This past month, PV2
placerat fermentum
Ellis completed DTMS training to support the orderly room mission. SPC Cristello completed the weapons gauging. In the Distribution Platoon,
new Troopers were trained on Ammunition handling and refueling procedures, which has been a major priority for the Platoon.
During the past month, several Soldiers were selected to attend leadership training. SGT Berry is currently completing Advance Leadership
Course in Fort Lee, VA. SPC Adams, SPC Morgan, SPC Sobert is taking the next step to achieve a leadership role while completing the Warrior
Leadership Course held at Fort Bragg. SPC Adzoble and SPC Qualls attended Warrior Leadership Course from April 18 to May 5, 2011. SPC
Adzoble received superior marks for his performance in leadership roles while attending WLC. Warrior Leadership Course is a month-long course
that teaches Specialists and Corporals the basic skills to lead small groups of Soldiers. This course is hard hitting and intensive with emphasis on
leadership skills and prepares Soldiers to advance to the rank of Sergeant. These Soldiers were faced with the challenge of being a leaders in a
squad sized elements in both field and garrison environments. They also spent time in the classroom learning how to gather and present
information in a professional style. Congratulations to SPC Adzoble and SPC Qualls for a job well done.
The month of May started off slow for Echo Company. The company had a solid week of work that was capped off by pay day activities. All
the Soldiers participated and the ones who live in the barracks completed an inspection flawlessly. The following week, the company transitioned
into All-American week. The week kicked off with the Division Run and was followed by two days of sporting events in which the Lonewolves
made their mark on the Division. Soldiers throughout the Division were given the opportunity to participate in a multitude of events, and these are
the Soldiers that helped represent TF Wolfpack. PFC Mann jumped in on the tug-a-war and held his own against Soldiers from the BCTs. SPC
Adzoble, SPC Jiminez, and SPC Caldaron competed in the Assault
Course. During the Combative competition SGT Vitola and PFC Burt
were able to display their talent and techniques as well. SPC Quiroz and
PFC Patrick helped lead the soccer team to the finals before they were
beaten. Some of the newer Soldiers to the company like SGT Ellington,
SGT Chatman, PFC Whetstone, PFC Faria, PFC Whetstone, and PFC
Boone jumped in on the volleyball team along with SSG Hayes to help
out TF Wolfpack and lead the team to the semifinals. SSG Hayes, SPC
Carroll, SPC Johnson, PV2 Ellis and SGT Stallworth wrapped up the
teams by leading the TF Wolfpack’s basketball team to the semifinals.
While the rest of the Lonewolves supported from the sidelines.
Finally, the company would like to say goodbye to the following
Soldiers: SGT Osborn and SGT Gourneau. We would like to thank them
for their service and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
Lonewolves!
