165th Quartermaster (ADS)

Moving blood across the Middle East Moving lifesaving blood products across the Middle East is no easy task, and the U.S. Central Command’s Theater Joint Blood Program manages it all.

Coming up next month! April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, a time to honor the sacrifices made by military kiddos worldwide. Please help spread the word on these multiple events that will be held around GA during the month of April. Most of them are free and some may require a small fee. Here are a few events that will be happening!

Thank you to all our Soldiers in the 165th and those serving, and have served, across our great country!

Yesterday the 165th Quartermaster (ADS) had a Change of Command and Assumption of Responsibility. We would like to say thank you for everything you have done and how far you have brought the unit to CPT Serapion. The unit will miss you dearly, and wish you the best of luck on your next endeavors.

We welcome in our new Command team, CPT Kwon and 1SG Pence. They will continue to grow this amazing Company and bring it to new heights!

Almost half of our actively drilling Soldiers attended Sling Load Inspector Certification Course (SLICC) this week. During this intense, detailed oriented course, they learned how to correctly package and inspect different types of bundles and equipment to ensure safe transportation by also knowing the weight limits and capabilities of each helicopter. They also became certified on Low Cost, Low Altitude Aerial Delivery Systems (LCLA ADA) that keep a resupply in tact when released from a low altitude.

RedHawks! We have another new bundle of joy! SPC Monica Solorzano and husband welcomed baby Ezra on August 10, 2022. Everyone is doing great and we get a sneak peak at baby’s first photo shoot! Congratulations!!

More excitement Friday night as the paratroopers of 165th prepared their combat equipment loads, drove the DZ in a Polaris and executed a mass tactical night jump! Then finally off to bed for a short nights sleep before heading back to home station!
