S. Army Africa (USARAF) gathered together at the Hotel Villa Michelangelo in Arcugnano, Italy, for a conference titled “ASCC 101.” Formerly known as the Southern European Task Force (SETAF) before the announcement in December 2008 of its formation, USARAF has been transforming in the past 22 months from a tactical command into a strategic Army Service Component Command (ASCC), hence the title of the conference and the content of the topics under discussion over the course of the five-day gathering. “This training gives USARAF a bigger picture of how the Army operates,” said Maj. Angel Mesa, action officer responsible for putting the training together. Mesa brought a distinguished panel of guest lecturers to the event, including Dr. (retired Col.) John A. Bonin, professor at the U.S. War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. Other speakers at the weeklong seminar included Dr. Jefferson P. Marquis and Dr. Jennifer D. Patterson-Moroney, both senior political scientists at the RAND Corporation in Arlington, Va. “The greatest challenge of this event was finding the right speakers,” Mesa added. Attendees included USARAF Commander, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, and all of his primary staff. Class topics included “What is an ASCC and what does it do?” “AFRICOM 101,” “Headquarters, Department of the Army 101,” and “Resourcing 101” to name a few. Each class included background explanation, detailing the responsibilities and functions that make an ASCC effective. “All in all, I think it was great that we took the time to get the staff together and learn where we fit into the Army and the Department of Defense,” said Lt. Col. Benjamin Robertson, U.S. Army Africa Fires and Effects branch. SETAF before December 2008 was a tactical command with a young airborne headquarters deployable throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Today, at almost four times the size of SETAF, USARAF is a strategic command with Title X responsibilities for every Soldier on the African continent, and is both geographically and functionally focused on Africa as an Army Service Component Command. It’s a difficult transformation, considering that the “Big Army” is transforming while both the Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom campaigns are on-going. The weeklong seminar will make USARAF’s transformation an easier road to navigate, Robertson said. The timing of this seminar was just right too, he said.“This summer we have seen a significant number of new members join USARAF, looking to understand what an ASCC is and how it functions. Those of us who have been here a year or longer get an opportunity to align ourselves better with both AFRICOM and the U.S. Army,” Robertson said.To learn more about U.S. Army Africa visit our official website at www.usaraf.army.milOfficial Twitter Feed: www.twitter.com/usarmyafricaOfficial YouTube video channel: www.youtube.com/usarmyafrica |
