By COREY DICKSTEIN | STARS AND STRIPES Published: April 8, 2021 ATLANTA A pair of Fort Stewart, Ga.-based engineering officers is set to become the first all-female team to compete for the title of the Army s best-skilled combat engineering duo next month in Missouri. The 3rd Infantry Division will send the all-female team of 1st Lt. Trish Burden and 2nd Lt. Amanda Atkinson to the Army’s Best Sapper Competition May 1-4 at Fort Leonard Wood, Army officials said. Burden and Atkinson are engineering officers with the 3rd ID’s 9th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team. “It s an honor to compete and represent our unit, and even if we weren t the first all-female team just to go is a very, very good opportunity for us,” said Burden, who commissioned into the Army in 2017. “We’re really proud to be able to do that, [and] to show other Sappers that it is possible to go as an all-female team is exciting.”

CHARLESTON A Parkersburg man prosecuted under the Project Parkersburg initiative was sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison.
The prison term for Michael Rhodes, 41, will be followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, United States Attorney Mike Stuart said.
Rhodes had pleaded guilty and admitted to distributing methamphetamine in and around Parkersburg, Sguart said.
At the sentencing hearing on Thursday, United States District Judge Irene C. Berger noted Rhodes had traveled from Parkersburg to Arizona and California in 2018 and records showed calls and money transfers from Parkersburg to Sinaloa, Mexico, Stuart said.
