Spring has finally sprung in the
North Country, and that means
just one thing: The Soldiers of
the DSC can get back outside
executing their Army skills! The
Company Soldiers have had
many opportunities to get back
on their equipment to polish up
their skills in preparation for the
missions coming to us later in
the year. The G6 has been emplacing and updating technologies across Fort Drum to increase efficiency, and our Soldiers in the DAMO have been
working hard to support the units
as they train up for what the future holds.
The watchword of a
Rear Detachment is Support.
Supporting the Bigg Doggs in
Afghanistan means keeping Soldiers trained and ready to go
forward if the call comes, and
giving all we can to make their
mission easier. Supporting the
families at home means keeping
regular contact, showing we
care, and providing assistance
in times of adversity so the deployed Soldiers can keep their
minds focused on the job. And

Teams as they prepare for the
missions of tomorrow means a
lot of hard work employing the
expertise each and every one of
our Soldiers display on a daily
basis. But springtime means the
Bigg Doggs are ready to get out
there and do what needs to be
done!
I would like to conclude
by giving my thanks to the deployed element for their sacrifice
serving in a foreign land, and to
their families for the love and
support they give their Soldiers
every day. We wish you well
and keep hope for your safe return!
