[ multinational ] coys,” Harris, a Fort Bragg, N. C. native said.“ I’ ve worked with the Turkish so far, and I’ ve met the Polish, the Ukrainians, Armenians, Albanians, Slovenians, Germans, French and the Moroccans. It’ s hard to learn‘ Hello’ and‘ Thank you’ in all of those languages.”
Harris is also planning for the addition of new tents to better accommodate the soldiers stationed there. Though change doesn’ t happen overnight, Harris is wasting no time in laying the foundation for improvement.
Gate One is also seeing an improvement in soldier care. Thanks in part to the Forward Command Post stationed at Camp Novo Selo, Gate One recently received several boxes of supplies from the United States Organizations for their Morale, Welfare and Recreation tent to help improve the variety of activities soldiers can take part in during their time off.
U. S. Army 1st Sgt. Robert Allen, the incoming 1st Sgt. for Company C, 1st Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment, said that getting the supplies was a huge morale boost for his soldiers.
“ Where we’ re at, we just have stuff that gets us by,” Allen, a native of Columbus, Ga. said.“ Showing up with good stuff is always a morale booster for the guys.”
To help soldiers maintain a high level of readiness, the soldiers of Gate One have also expanded their training facilities, building a rappel training tower on the camp to provide safe, easily accessible training to multinational forces stationed on the post.
“ The guys are enjoying it, they love the mission that we’ re doing in Kosovo,” Allen said.“ Hard training, hard working, and we all appreciate what MWR is doing for us, no matter how big or small.”
