Greetings Team
Fort Hunter Liggett,
Let me begin with saying how
honored I am to have this privilege
and opportunity to work with a team of
dedicated professionals that work tire-
lessly everyday to support the troops
and the civilians that work and live
here.
During the first two months I’ve
been on ground, I’ve witnessed ex-
ceptional subject matter expertise,
dedication to mission and enthusiasm
for the great training opportunities
FHL has to offer.
In order to help me assess our
command and identify what we’re do-
ing great and what we can improve
upon, I ask for everyone to take the
Command Climate Survey when it’s
available in October. It’s very im-
portant and all supervisors will allow
time for employees to complete this
survey. This survey is anonymous so
please be candid and provide sugges-
tions on how we can address an is-
sues you might identify.
My vision is for the entire com-
mand - FHL and PRFTA - to be rec-
ognized and serve as “Premier To-
tal Force Training Centers.” I will
build upon what my predecessors
have accomplished and continue the
upward glide path to greater things for
the garrison and our customers. Our
efforts in supporting of training warf-
ighters plays a key and integral part in
the overall readiness of our military,
our allies, and the security of our
homeland.
This task is not to be taken lightly, it
is what we do as a team and what
you do as an individual. BE PROUD
of your contribution!
My leadership philosophy is
simple - we exist to provide quality
installation services and facilities to
enable Total Force Readiness - so
everything we do must be driven with
a focus to enable Soldiers’ readiness
to fight. We must also provide the
same quality of services and facilities
to the civilians who work and reside
here.
In August, I distributed a memo
outlining the four parts to my leader-
ship philosophy: stewardship, ac-
countability, action, and values. Read
this, if you haven’t already - it’s avail-
able on the Command Group Share-
Point page.
We’ve had several important
dignitaries visit since I’ve taken com-
mand. The IMCOM Commanding
General, Lt. Gen. Dahl’s visit in Au-
gust allowed us to showcase the
training assets at both installations
and more importantly, the potential
for us to be Premier Total Force
Training Centers. The 7th Infantry
Division Commanding General, Maj.
Gen. Burleson, visited in September
to do a reconnaissance before decid-
ing if his division will come train at
FHL next year. There are some prep-
arations we need to make before
they arrive - let’s not let them down!
Thank you for your service and
dedication and please incorporate
risk assessment in everything you do
at work and at home because you

Safety first From the Garrison Safety Office:
Don't Slip Up and Fall Down on the Job
Falls are one of the leading caus-es of workplace injury and death, and these aren't necessarily falls from heights such as ladders or construc-tion scaffolds. Most falls are from the same level, caused by slipping or trip-ping. FHL has four broken arms cases in the last five years due to falls from the same level and seven other falls requiring first aid. Please be aware of your surroundings and do not engage in distracted walking. Most of the tips listed below are based on findings from recent inspections around post. Take the time to correct any issues in
your workplace.
The main causes of slips, trips, and
falls in the workplace are:
Poor housekeeping: scrap on floors, spilled liquids, equipment cluttering the aisles. Don’t ignore these hazards. You may think someone else will take care of it,
The golden guidon, sept 2017 4
but that may not happen in time to prevent an accident.
Dangerous surface conditions: broken or cracked surfaces, pro-truding nails, different elevations which are unmarked, torn car-pets, loose or curled mats and slippery finishes are all hazards.
Insufficient lighting: Dim or incorrect lighting, glare in areas where it is dangerous or lights which flicker or "strobe" and cause perception difficulties.
Inattention to tasks: Careless-ness brought on by inexperience, horseplay, fatigue or personal problems.
Improper footwear: Shoes which are not properly fastened, are too big, too small, have slip-
pery bottoms or oversized heels.
Preventing falls:
Keep obstructions out of walk-ways. These items are common causes of tripping accidents - stored materials, equipment, ca-bles, cords, hoses, scrap, and trash. Keep doors and drawers of cabinets and workbenches closed.
Keep all floors as clean as possible. Clean up any spills promptly. If this is not possible, make sure there is a barricade and sign.
Floor coverings such as car-pets, mats, and tiles should be secured to prevent tripping hazards.
Don't run in your work area. Make sure your footwear won't
trip you up. It should fit well
and have low heels. Keep your shoelaces tied.
Properly barricade any hazard-ous areas such as construction zones.
If you are carrying an item, be sure you can see over it or around it. This is especially im-portant on stairways.
Autumn Safety
The change in weather brings the flu season, and the National Safe-ty Council recommends that everyone six months and older gets a flu vac-cination. Learn more about flu preven-tion and the flu vaccine at the National Safety Council website: http://www.nsc.org/learn/Pages/safety-events-fall-into-safety.aspx.
It will get darker sooner so use caution when driving or walking out and about - use your car lights and wear reflective gear. Don’t forget to teach children safety tips during Hal-loween and check their candy bags. When you change the time on your clocks for Daylight Savings Time change, also change the batteries to your smoke alarms and carbon mon-oxide detectors.
Some holiday festivity safety tips: handle food with clean hands; put food away when done eating and keep surfaces clean to avoid food poi-soning; use caution when baking your turkey and keep the little ones out the kitchen; and don’t drink and drive. For more info: https://www.cdc.gov/

Garrison highlights
On July 14, 2017, Fort Hunter Liggett said farewell to Col. Jan C. Norris and welcomed Col. Kerry E. Norman as the new garrison commander. Norman’s family and friends were in attendance, as were many community leaders and partners eager to meet the new commander. Presiding over the ceremony was the IMCOM-Readiness Director, Brenda Lee McCullough. Addressing the garrison for the first time, Norman said, “Team FHL and Parks, I want you to know that I wanted this installation. It was my first choice and I’m excit-ed to be here on this new journey. This journey is not about Kerry Norman. This journey is about all of us, Hunter Liggett and Parks, as a team. Whether you sit at a desk or you’re at range operations, you all play a key and vital role in the readiness of our country’s warriors and the overall safety of our nation. Never doubt or question how im-portant your individual role is because it is.” For the Garri-son Commander’s complete speech: https://www.youtube.com/user/FortHunterLiggett Norman hails from Kirkwood, Mich. and raised in Mar-in County, Calif. She is a graduate of the Army War Col-
lege and holds several graduate degrees. Norman enlisted in the Army in February 1986 and received a direct com-mission as a 2nd Lt. in March 1992 while serving at Sixth Army, Presidio of San Francisco. She served with the 91st Training Division as an enlisted Soldier, and served over-seas on five of seven continents. Her full bio is available on the FHL SharePoint and website: www.liggett.army.mil.

Fort Hunter Liggett hosts an annual Summer Hire Program employing Army and local youth. This year,13 youth ranging in
14 to 28 in age, learned valuable skills while earning a paycheck. Some participants have even been hired as regular full-
time staff. When asked, the main theme amongst the group was that they learned responsibility and interpersonal skills.
Many professed they were shy and not comfortable talking to others but this experience has helped them gain the confi-
dence to interact with people better. They also enjoyed helping and the direct-engagement with Soldiers.

September is Suicide Prevention Month
YOU ARE A VALUED MEMBER OF THE ARMY TEAM.
Army Life can be stressful to both Soldiers and their family,
and to the civilian workforce. Don’t deal with a problem
alone. Reach out to a helping hand. Leaders play a critical
role in creating a culture of trust, support and promote
readiness and resilience to strengthen the workforce. Have
the courage to help others and courage to reach out for
help. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Some resilient coping strategies:
Pick up a new hobby like cooking, playing a musical
instrument or learn a new sport.
Exercise. In addition to keeping you fit, exercise can be
a great stress reliever and coping strategy.
Sometimes, merely getting away from your stresses and finding peace and relaxation, even if only for a few
minutes each day, can be beneficial.
Talk to others. Support groups are a good resource.
Journaling your thoughts and emotions can help you
sort out your feelings and be a stress relief.
Volunteering is a great way to keep you occupied while
giving back to others.

In the spotlight
Lt. Gen. Kenneth Dahl made time during his tight schedule
at Fort Hunter Liggett to personally thank some garrison
employees for their dedication and superior performance
by awarding them with his coin for excellence. He empha-
sized how important everyone’s work is to the strategic
defense.
DPTMS Range Control Specialist Spc. Christopher
Struttkirst was recognized for implementing safe range
procedures and providing excellent briefings to units dur-
ing CSTX and WAREX that contributed to the overall exer-
cise success.
DES Security Guard Jesus Alvarez was recognized
for his initiative and a willingness to enhance the installa-
tions security posture, ensuring any time the Defense Bio-
metric Identification System is offline that 100% ID checks
are completed for all persons entering the post.
RM Budget Analyst Debbie Hawkins was recognized
for her superior performance in managing and executing
the garrison’s transition to the new ATAAPS database.
The transition effort spanned five months and much of the
transition data required manually building new profiles for
the command’s 285 employees, re-validating timekeeper
and approving official access and signature cards, and
verifying employee alternate work schedules.
DPW Waste Water Treatment System Operators
Frank Brinkman and Ron Garner (L-R) was recognized for
performing above and beyond the call of duty in assisting
the Operations and Maintenance Division (O & M) of DPW
while they are short-staffed and by responding to an emer-
gency water line break during WAREX. The duo have put
in many additional hours to keep critical infrastructure op-
erations going at Fort Hunter Liggett.
These five individuals epitomize the Army Values and
are valued members of the Fort Hunter Liggett and Army
team.

The first Sergeant Audie Murphy Board was con-
ducted at Fort Hunter Liggett on September 14, 2017
with Sgt. Mark Eda, a range control specialist, as the
lone Soldier to face off a board of sergeant majors.
Eda spent two days trying to earn his nomination
and prove that he is worthy of inclusion in the prestig-
ious Sergeant Audie Murphy Club (SAMC). He took a
physical fitness test, wrote a biographical essay, and
stood in front of two oral boards.
There are three phases a Soldier must pass to be
considered: (1) Commander’s Nomination, (2) Initial
Selection Board review at unit level, (3) Final Selection
Board review with the higher headquarter’s command
sergeant major as president, and three or more com-
mand or sergeant major appointed by the president.
“The most challenging aspect was preparing for
the final board,” said Eda.
During the Final Selection Board, Eda was grilled
on everything Army – customs and courtesies, weapons
knowledge, leadership skills, Army programs, etc. - and
every detail on Sgt. Audie Murphy. Board members
took turns asking questions and often asked non-
related questions, such as what his favorite sports
team is, to try and throw him off. He was also di-
rected to execute many drill and ceremony move-
ments.
Eda was born in the Philippines but grew up in
Hawaii. He entered the active duty Army in 2005 as
an infantry Soldier and deployed to Iraq for a 15-
month tour in 2007-2008. In 2012, Eda joined the
Army Reserve’s most decorated unit, the 100th In-
fantry Battalion/442nd Infantry Regiment. He has
earned eight medals and numerous ribbons, to in-
clude the Iraq Campaign Medal with 1 campaign
star.
Eda’s military education include Warrior Leader
Course (WLC), Combat Life Savers Course, Jungle
Leaders Course, Master Driver Training Course,
Drivers Training Course and Basic Combative
Course. He is in the process of earning a Bachelor’s
degree in Criminal Justice.

“I nominated Sgt. Eda because he consistently dis-plays leadership qualities such as loyalty and self-less service. He is one of the hardest working NCO's on my team and deserved an opportunity to showcase his hard work and talent,” said Sgt. 1st Class Thomas Ninkovich, Sgt. Eda’s supervisor and sponsor for the SAMC consideration. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Amy Phillips)

than 5,400 services members from the Army Reserve, Ar-
my, Army National Guard, Navy, and Canadian Armed
Forces participated in CSTX.
The CSTX focused on combat support and combat
maneuver support, including logistical or sustainment train-
ing for combat sustainment support battalions, military po-
lice and medical training.
Lt. Gen. Charles D. Luckey, commanding general for
Army Reserve Command, was one of many top brass that
observed the training. “Where we're going is not where
we've been,” Luckey told Soldiers participating in the exer-
cise. He emphasized the need for training and adaptability,
urging Soldiers to pay close attention to the evolving na-
ture of threats and the flexibility needed to prepare for
global challenges.
Luckey believes in realistic training scenarios and
austere environments to prepare America’s Army Reserve
as the most capable, combat-ready, and lethal Federal
Reserve force in the history of the Nation. FHL is an ideal
training platform with more than 165,000 acres of unen-
croached mountains, valleys, rivers, plains and forests to
meet today’s training requirements.
CSTX 91-17-03
“The CSTX is preparing us for AERF because
we’re not used to being in an austere environ-
ment. We are adjusting accordingly to not think of
how (Soldiers) used to mobilize and operate on
FOBs,” said Capt. Ciera Jackson, commander of
the 208th Transportation Company. “Now we have
to be self-sufficient and to sustain ourselves.
When it’s time to go, we have to get up and go.”

Army Reserve engineers are part of the Army Early Response Force (AERF) that have to ready to deploy within 30 days of notification.
“Our mission is to shape the battlefield, and my Soldiers are getting ‘dig time’ practicing digging trenches, fighting posi-tions and clearing obstacles, but we are also executing real world missions to improve Fort Hunter Liggett,” said Capt. Chris Appling, company commander of the 718th Engineer Company out of Fort Benning, Ga. “My Soldiers in 2nd pla-toon have been out in the field clearing fire breaks to pre-vent the spread of brush fires in the area.” Read story: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/242199/army-early-response-force-engineers-train-shape-battlefield
First Army helps build a more mobile force of ready reserves.
The active component 4th Cavalry Multi-Functional Train-ing Brigade, First Army Division East, provided about 65 active- and reserve-component observer coach/trainers (OC/Ts) to augment the Army Reserve’s 91st Training Divi-
sion and assist in executing the CSTX. Read story: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/242522/first-army-helps-build-more-mobile-force-ready-reserves
“There are some very clearly skilled and motivated
company-level leaders on the ground doing some
remarkable things with our outfits,” said Maj. Gen.
Todd McCaffrey, commanding general of First Ar-
my Division East during his visit to FHL. “This plat-
form of Fort Hunter Liggett, and the exercise that
the 91st Training Division has put together, is a
great opportunity to get at the kinds of readiness
that we need to have at our Army reserve-
component forces.”

FHL is hosting their first-ever COLD STEEL this Fall with
an estimated 2,000+ Soldiers to qualify on crew-
served weapons.
Cold Steel is key to ensuring that America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short-notice and bring combat-ready and lethal firepower in support of the Total Army
and Joint Force partners around the world.
An estimated 1,500 Soldiers got
a leg up in meeting the Army’s new T-
standards at the Army Reserve’s first
large-scale live-fire training and crew-
served weapons qualification and vali-
dation exercise at Fort McCoy, Wisc.
earlier this year. The vast majority are
part of the Army Reserve’s Ready
Force, tasked with maintaining higher
levels of peacetime readiness to off-
set risk to the nation.
In accordance with Objective T
standards, all units will be required to
conduct annual crew-served and plat-
form qualifications in order to meet
directed readiness objectives.
“For the Ready Force units and
Soldiers, there won’t be the post-mob
“train-up” time to build this proficient,”
said Lt. Gen. Charles Luckey, chief
of Army Reserve and commanding
general, U.S. Army Reserve Com-
mand.
The Army Reserve compromis-
es approximately two-thirds Maneu-
ver Support capabilities, with a focus
on units such as transportation, quar-
termaster, ordnance and logistics, so
gunnery skills are new for many of
the Soldiers participating in Cold
Steel.
“We operate in this asymmetric
battlefield, as soon as you step out-
side the gate, you are in enemy
lines,” said Brig. Gen. Fletcher Wash-
ington, 80th Training Command depu-
ty commanding general for opera-
tions.”
The Army relies on early entry
enablers resident in the Army Re-
serve. The goal is to ensure Soldiers
training at Cold Steel are prepared to
deploy quickly - in 90 days or less -
with the active-component.
The priorities at Cold Steel are to qualify vehicle gun crews, create Vehi-cle Crew Evaluators to train Reserve units, and to qualify individual ground crews. Excerpt of story by Master Sgt. Anthony Tay-lor, 85th Training Command. Read full story in the Army Reserve Warrior Citizen Magazine

During the IMCOM Commanding General Lt. Gen. Kenneth Dahl’s visit in August, he was able to witness
the ground-breaking Net Zero projects at Fort Hunter Liggett. On the left, he is seen receiving a brief from
Sierra Energy Senior Processing Manager Michael Anderson on the first commercial FastOX® Pathfinder
System, aka gasifier, ever installed at a military installation. According to Sierra Energy, the plant will sig-
nificantly lower risk, cost and the carbon footprint related to transporting and the disposal of trash by con-
verting post-recycled, solid waste into electricity and diesel fuels. Watch time lapse video of the system be-
ing built at FHL and learn more at: www.sierraenergy.com/projects/fort-hunter-liggett/. On the right, Quali-
fied Recycling Plant manager Ron Ritchie highlighted how it is a self-sufficient program aligns with the
FHL Net Zero initiative while supporting FHL programs and community events. The QRP saves the garri-
son $80,000 annually by diverting waste materials from the landfill to the plant for recycling.

By Amy Phillips, Fort Hunter Liggett Public Affairs
Forget candy crushing, virtual farming and things that
turn your brain numb and gives you finger cramps. Fresno
native, Stephanie Sonnier lives a secret life that blows the
candy and farm crops out of this world.
She wears faux fur, fancy jewelry and hats, and struts
about a fancy mansion likes she’s a rich and famous gal
from the 1930s.
“It takes you away from your everyday life…and you
transform yourself,” said Sonnier. “You get to live a fanta-
sy.”
A Secret Life,
the Hearst Connection
Feature story
In 2015, Sonnier recruited her boyfriend, Trevor De La Cruz, a mem-
ber of DPW’s Roads and Grounds Crew, to also be a docent.

“It takes you away from your
everyday life…and you trans-
form yourself...You get to live
a fantasy.” - Stephanie Sonnier
But most of all, “…you get to actually walk around
where all these historical figures once walked around,” said
Sonnier. Actors like Charlie Chaplin and Joan Crawford,
and many dignitaries are known to have been guests of
Hearst’s.
Her double-life all ties back to the news magnate Wil-
liam R. Hearst and the historic Milpitas Ranch House. Lo-
cated at Fort Hunter Liggett, the ranch house is also known
as the Hacienda. The War Department bought the Hearst
land and the structures on the property to in 1940 as a
place to train and prepare troops for World War II.
While working at the Hacienda as the business opera-
tions assistant in 2014, Sonnier met a hotel guest that was
a Hearst Castle employee. Sonnier jumped at the oppor-
tunity to learn more about the history of the Hacienda and
the architect Julia Morgan. The guest in return, capitalized
on Sonnier’s interest and introduced her to the Hearst Cas-
tle docent program.
Sonnier went for two interviews before being selected,
and has been volunteering at the castle since 2014. The
Hearst Castle is a National Historic Landmark and a Cali-
fornia State Park. The job doesn’t pay but the perks alone
sure make it worthwhile.
One of the perks include a dip in the Olympic-sized
Neptune Pool once a year. This is open for volunteers who
have put in at least 50 hours. “It was September so it was
chilly…I wasn’t going to jump in then I thought but if I don’t,
I’m going to regret it.” It turned out that was the last swim
before the pool was drained for repairs in 2014.

BELOW: The docents serve as a background element to pro-
vide a 1930s aura for visitors. During training, docents learn

According to local media, the pool was temporarily
filled on August 4 to test for leaks (www.sanluisobispo.com/
news/local/community/cambrian/article165556087.html).
The $5.4 million renovations project is expected to last
through January 2018.
Sonnier says docents receive two days of training on
how to portray a person from the 1930s such as manner-
ism, vocabulary, hairstyles and makeup. “It was very in-
tense,” said Sonnier. They also went on a mock tour to get
the public’s perspective when touring the castle.
Sonnier has been an employee at FHL for nine years
at various locations. She currently serves as the Manage-
ment Assistant and Qualified Recycling Program (QRP)
with FMWR since July 2016. With the small staff at the
QRP, she is often called upon to help with everything from
generation of reports to sorting material at the plant.

CHaPLaIn’s message
By Chaplain (Capt.) Levi H. Marshall
Have you ever heard the saying "when life throws you
lemons, make lemonade"? This is an awesome response
to setbacks, disappointments and loses. However, it is eas-
ier said than done. Unfortunately, human beings naturally
think more negatively about life than positively.
Most research will tell you that around 80% of our
thoughts are negative (supposedly tied into our fight or
flight mechanisms). Whatever the reason, we do not have
to remain subjected our current thoughts and behavior pat-
terns.
Most thoughts and behaviors are reflexive; we say
and do things before we realize it…words become
thoughts, thoughts become behavior, behavior comes
character. We must turn off the autopilot and become more
intentional in our daily living by challenging our thoughts
and exposing ourselves to a higher order thinking.
At some point in our lives we all have felt the pres-
sures of life and needed our spirit lifted. Life can be a strug-
gle and can sometimes cause us to feel overwhelmed.
Whatever we are struggling with, it helps to hear words
of encouragement that remind us of how special we
are and how unique we are in all the universe; that we
are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalms 139:31-39)
Genesis 1:26-28 tells us we are made in the image of
God. We all take knocks in life and have moments of
"doom and gloom" but trouble don't last always. I’m going
to let you in on a secret…we are already victorious and in
God's timing we will be blessed with the affirmation of our
victory- so never quit and never accept defeat!
Romans 8:31-39 says “What, then, shall we say in
response to these things? If God is for us, who can be
against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave
him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him,
graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge
against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justi-
fies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ
Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—
is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trou-
ble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or
danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face
death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than con-
querors through him who loved us. For I am convinced
that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, nei-
ther the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be
able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.”
No matter what the enemy throws at you: whether
you've just had another setback chasing your dreams,
been rejected by someone you love, faced tragedy, or
you're just feeling drained from the ups and downs of life,
remember that there is a conqueror inside of you.
Live as one who is victorious!
Encourage yourself today!
Live in the abundant life that Christ provides and love as
hard as you can.

That day's destruction and devastation did not condemn this country to a future filled with fear. No,
this loss, as profound as it was, did not break the soul of this nation. It made us stronger. That day
fortified Americans with pride and patriotism and created a spirit of service in the hearts of a new gen-
eration. Fort Hunter Liggett observed this day with speeches commemorating the heroes of past and
present that serve selflessly to protect the community, and a walk to reflect upon the significance of
Patriot Day. FHL also conducted an observance at the San Antonio School with Deputy Commander
Lt. Col. Meritt Phillips as the guest speaker and a detail of
Soldiers, police officer and firefighters to honor the fallen.

The Fort Hunter Liggett Fellows
Program is part of the Garrison Com-
mand Team’s effort to invest in the
workforce, and is designed to prepare
top-performing junior level employees
to be the managers and executives
required to meet future organizational
needs as well as to provide opportuni-
ties for employees to obtain or en-
hance skills and attributes which will
advance their careers.
Program nominees can be auto-
matically nominated (GS 9-12/NF3-4)
who have an Excellent/Level 1 annual
performance rating, supervisor nomi-
nated or self-nominated.
The year-long program includes
training sessions, site visits/tours,
mentor meetings and shadowing, and
individual and group projects.
The mentor’s role is to provide
their assigned mentee with a broad
The FHL Fellows Program
perspective and knowledge of the
garrison’s vision, mission, goals and
objectives that transcend day-to-day
operations and be able to correlate
how the mentee’s performance and
duties relates to the garrison’s suc-
cess or failure in accomplishing its
mission.
The mentee is expected to have
an Individual Development Plan
(IDP), attend all program activities,
complete individual and group pro-
jects, and actively pursue self-
development opportunities.
The team project is designed to
lead the participants to identify a
problem/challenge facing the installa-
tion that could impede mission goals
and/or strategic positioning. Using
skills learned during their training,
mentees will develop a briefing identi-
fying the issue chosen and recom-
mend a course of action (COA) to rem-
edy the issue. They will be expected to
demonstrate the use of the military
decision making process (MDMP) in
coming to their COA.
This program kicks-off on Sept.
27. Congratulations to the following
