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.”
4 LANDSTUHL, Germany - On a cold, rainy February afternoon, 27 Soldiers joined German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) Service Members for a chance to earn the coveted German Armed Forces Badge of Marksmanship, or Schützenschnur, at Breitenwald Range, just outside of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.
The decoration, normally awarded to Bundeswehr Service Members, is traditionally a braided lanyard gripping a gold, silver or bronze medallion signifying the grade awarded, with gold being the highest and bronze being the lowest. The award is authorized for wear for U.S. Soldiers, in adherence with the service’s uniform standard.
For LRMC Soldiers, the event was an opportunity to partner with Host Nation counterparts and learn weapon systems outside of their own arsenal.
