A virtual panel.
This Thursday on Mar 4, 2021 12:30 we will be welcoming a virtual panel of Foreign Area Officers to speak with our Cadets and the student body.
“The intent is two-fold: First, to connect cadets with officers that have recent tactical or operational experiences that will better educate them on their future careers. Second, it is an open forum that any student on campus can attend in order to bridge the civil-military gap in our society by presenting the Army experience to populations that may never hear that story. We utilize Zoom as the format for this as a way to encourage participation from the student body- think of being a guest speaker in a college lecture hall. I am hopeful that many non-cadets will be interested; even if they do not join the Army they may have aspirations to work in an embassy in another capacity and this is a great opportunity to bridge the civil-military gap.”
Whether it was service throughout her more than 30-year career in the military or through her many community involvements, retired Lt. Col. Terry Owens always has emphasized care for others.
A newly elected member of the Radcliff City Council, Owens has been active in several community organizations since moving to the Fort Knox area in 2007.
Originally from Newport News, Virginia, Owens earned a bachelorâs degree in biology in 1987 and a masterâs degree in elementary education in 1990 from Hampton University. Also in 1987, Owens joined the U.S. Army Reserves as a combat medic in the 18th Field Hospital in Norfolk, a decision that foreshadowed a long career in military leadership.

9 SHILOH, Ill. The Headquarters, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command senior enlisted leader hosted a three-day professional development forum last week from Scott AFB, Illinois. To ensure maximum participation and to meet COVID-19 restrictions, the event was conducted virtually.
During the forum, subject matter experts from SDDC and the U.S. Army Human Resources Command spoke on topics that were in line with the Army People Strategy’s second line of effort, Develop Talent, by identifying employment, education and training opportunities, closing talent gaps and maximizing military and civilian members’ contributions to the Army. “Senior leaders from around the Army took time out to help us professionally, and we certainly appreciate everyone’s participation, making this event not only noteworthy but something we can learn from, record and playback and get better,” said SDDC’s senior enlisted leader, Command Sgt. Maj. Rocky Carr.
For many personnel at Fort Knox, that saying goes a long way in describing Emmet Holley.
Holley leaves behind 19 years of dedicated federal civilian service to the area as the deputy for U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Knox. He retired Friday.
Those who know him best say he leaves behind a lot more than that.
âEmmet is the best. When it came to exemplifying leadership, his actions actually spoke louder than words,â said Pat Walsh, former director of Fort Knox Directorate of Public Works. âHe always led by example. He would never ask his staff to do anything he wouldnât do himself.â
