310TH SUPPORT MAINTENANCE COMPANY ATTENDS JRTC

The ability to service, repair, and maintain equipment is paramount. Support Maintenance Companies (SMCs) are designed to keep combat and support units operational by repairing and returning equipment to service. The service they provide enables equipment to operate to its fullest capability and to continue the mission.

The 818 SMC has spent the past few weeks immersed in the Joint Readiness Training Center's (JRTC) premier training rotation at Ft Polk, LA. JRTC’s training events are built to put units to the test in an austere simulated combat environment. The 818 SMC was there to show out, demonstrating their capabilities in the southern heat of Louisiana.

JOB WELL DONE 818 SMC!

310TH HEADQUARTERS CONDUCTS MAY BATTLE ASSEMBLY

This past weekend, the 310th HHC’s Command Chief Warrant Officer 4 Aysu Cesmebasi joined by fellow warrants from the HHC, and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Andy Knote from U.S. Army Reserve held a warrant officer professional development session. The session provided one-on-one guidance on available pathways to continued service as a warrant officer to prospective Soldiers, as well as time spent with current warrants within the unit.

Additionally, in typical spring fashion, the weather in Indiana can change rapidly; however, it cooperated briefly, enabling Soldiers to take the Army fitness test.

310TH ESC SOLDIER SHARES EXPERIENCES FROM EUCOM

As the Army shifts its focus toward large-scale combat operations against near-peer threats, equipment readiness has become a defining factor in battlefield success. This article, penned by 354th Quartermaster Groups 1st Lt. Ya Xing He, examines the often-overlooked role of Support Maintenance Companies (SMCs) — especially those in the U.S. Army Reserve and National Guard — and argues that these units are becoming essential to sustaining combat power across Europe and future conflict zones. Centered on the 758th SMC’s 2024–2025 deployment to Germany in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, the piece offers an inside look at how reserve maintenance units integrated with active-duty sustainment forces to fill critical manpower and capability gaps.

The article goes beyond doctrine to show how the 758th SMC adapted to real-world operational demands. Through expeditious repair operations, cross-training initiatives, and innovative problem-solving, the unit demonstrated how Reserve Component maintainers can generate significant combat power. Reserve maintenance units are no longer supplemental assets — they are central to the Army’s ability to sustain readiness in tomorrow’s high-intensity fights.

Boating and Watercraft Safety 🛟

Lakes, rivers, and coastal waters offer great recreational opportunities, but boating requires preparation and respect for the water. Adhering to watercraft safety guidelines prevents drowning and serious mishaps.

⛵ Wear a Life Jacket:
Ensure every passenger has a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that fits properly. Most boating fatalities result from drowning, often involving victims not wearing PFDs.

🚣 Avoid Boating Under the Influence (BUI):
Alcohol affects judgment, vision, and coordination. The sun, wind, and the boat's motion can accelerate impairment.

🚤 Monitor Weather:
Summer storms roll in quickly. Check forecasts before departing and keep a weather radio handy to track changing conditions.

🛶 File a Float Plan:
Tell a responsible person your destination and expected return time. This ensures authorities are alerted immediately if you become overdue.

🛥️ Maintain Awareness:
Watch for other vessels, swimmers, and debris. Strictly adhere to all navigational rules and posted no-wake zones.
Equip Your Vessel: Ensure your craft is registered and carries the required gear, including flares, horns, and extinguishers. Confirm the operator is properly trained and licensed.

Operational Contract Support (OCS) plays a big role in the battle space. The 310th understands its value training alongside Lt. Col. Aditya Khurana during the HHC’s annual training this year at Camp Atterbury, IN.
