| Spartan Soldiers train to win tournament |
Source: http://www.stewart.army.mil/homepage/news/news11.asp
SPC-D.Netto reports:
[PNN] Fort Stewart, GA -
Two Soldiers locked in combat, each strategically looking for a weakness in their opponent’s defense, until the moment to strike. For six minutes the combatant’s duel for control, fighting their own exhaustion while continually countering their opponents advances. For many Soldiers in the Third Infantry Division, this is a familiar scenario as many Soldiers have begun preparation for the Marne Division’s Combatives Tournament. For the Soldiers of 2nd “Spartan” Brigade Combat Team, 3rd ID, the preparation has been a grueling three week-long process; all for the hopes of eventually qualifying for the All Army Combatives Team.
“It’s definitely our goal to not just win the division tournament, but to be part of All Army Combatives Team,” said Pfc. Shane Clark, HHC, 2nd BCT.
For both Pfc. Clark and Spc. Robert Sellers, HHC, 2nd BCT, the dream of being selected for the All Army Combatives Team has been with them since first joining the Army.
“I knew I wanted to do this since I first heard about it; hopefully winning the tournament and even getting the chance to qualify for the All Army team is a huge chance to do what I love every day,” said Spc. Sellers, whom like Pfc. Clark has been involved in wrestling teams and similar combative sports his whole life.
To prepare for the Marne Division’s Tournament the Spartan Soldiers have undergone an intense training schedule, focusing on physical endurance, according to Staff Sgt. Joshua Jones, HHC, 2nd BCT, one of the two trainers for the Spartan brigade team.
“We think of every match like combat or even a race, the one that is conditioned enough to last the whole time and still have enough energy to fight back will most likely win,” said Staff Sgt. Jones, a former All Army Boxing team member.
According to Staff Sgt. Jones, the Soldiers that are preparing for the tournament over the last three weeks have been given the opportunity to train full time up until the event. This means the Soldiers were able to completely focus on not just combatives fundamentals but complete physical fitness.
“We run these guys hard, they basically do their morning PT with their units then we do another work out session before lunch and another after,” said Staff Sgt. Jones. “The Soldiers get three workouts a day in between working on combatives fundamentals. The reason we do it this way is to not only get them physically ready but to simulate the physical strain of match. Basically if they can execute the moves while they are exhausted, then they can easily do it while they are fresh.”
Both Spc. Sellers and Pfc. Clark agree that the training has been a huge benefit in preparing for the tournament.
“We know no one else has been preparing the way we have, most people just people just try to do it all in a week, so we knew we’ll have the endurance to outlast anyone we face,” said Spc. Sellers.
“I’ve lost 16 pounds since this started and I feel even stronger than before, I know we’re going to be ready,” said Pfc. Clark.
Staff Sergeant Jones stated that there is still time for other Spartan Soldiers to join the training for the Division tournament and that all Soldiers interested in the training should contact him at Joshua.a.jones1@us.army.mil.

| Monthly Unit Report - April |
SSG M. Mulder and SPC Currie Report:
[PNN] Fort Stewart, GA- The beautiful spring-month of May has arrived! Obviously, April has ended. With another month to be added to our list of existance, we also take a look back on the past month. April proved to be a good month. Even though the weather for most of us is getting better, and you would think people would go outside more, our recruiting has brought us good results! We are at the strenght of two active Platoons right now, referred to as the "Widowmakers" and the "Misfits". Also, under "Misfits" Platoon, an Aviation Combat Detachment was launched, and is ready for applicants. Currently 2LT Erickson supervises the Detachment, untill we find a qualified soldier to fulfill that duty. To give you an overview of what changes happened the last month, I will list every detail below.This month, we had no less than twenty new enlistment applications in. New members, and also former members that wished to re-enlist with us. We have to agree, some of them have already been discharged again due to inactivity, or having a schedule to busy to fit the Unit in aswell. Here you go.

| 1SG-Josh Long: The man, The myth, Alpha Company's Sergeant! |
PV2-T.West reports:
[PNN] Fort Stewart, GA - Not only is First Sergeant Long a distinguished leader within the 3rd Infantry with multiple commendations and more than four years of service, he is also one of our nation's real-life heroes. 1SG Long has been a soldier in the US Army for 2 years as a mechanic. He has been back to his post in Hawaii for about a month after an almost year long deployment. Top was sent to RC East, near Jalalabad, Afghanistan, an area described as having, "beautiful scenery," and a "good climate without too much heat or snow for 8 months out of the year."
Long says of his time overseas, "it wasn't bad or particularly dangerous." He also adds, "as much as the Army trains [its soldiers] for things, it is hard to be ready for the changes that occur on an almost daily basis." How does Top keep up? "Being able to adapt and be resilient," is the name of the game. For young people looking to enlist, Long offers a piece of advice; "be sure to prepare both mentally and physically, and be sure to get what you want. Have a clear idea of your goals before you sign that contract at MEPS because if you don't, it may severely hinder your Army career." I personally thank him for the advice and the entire unit thanks Top for his service, both in real life and on the virtual battlefield. Hooah!

| Second Platoon's effectiveness goes "up"! |
First Aviation Combat Detachment opened!
SSG M. Mulder reports:
[PNN] Fort Stewart, GA - As of the first of May, 2012, the Third Infantry Division is no longer solely a ground-pounding unit. With the opening of our brand-new Aviation Combat Detachment, nicknamed the "Flying Aces", we have expanded our combat effectiveness, and are attempting to reach out to the interests of more ArmA II Operation Arrowhead players.
For any interested soldiers, or visitors that might post an application with us in regards to these openings, the detachment is not easy to become a member of. You will have to pass a strict selection course, comprising of a entrance test as well as flying test and it will be open for try-outs among everyone. With this, we want to achieve a 24/7 available logistical and supportive detachment. Selection will be based on your position, activity, commitment and ability of the applicants to perform the essential duties of a soldier. We intend to employ our Aviation Combat Detachment in operations to provide troop transport, air support, supply transport and other logistical needs that arise during operations.
Meanwhile, we are also working on developing other supporting and/or combat detachments to offer to our soldiers. However, it will take time to set them up, to train our Drill Sergeants/Instructors, and to develop a training course. Further news will be reported as soon as possible.
