“There’s no question that the military and all related
industry is critical to South Carolina’s economy,” Hitt
said. “We don’t just talk about supporting the military. We
act in a way of supporting our military in our communities
and throughout our state.”
The speakers did not only talk about the economic
impact of possible cuts, though. Gov. Nikki Haley said
although the economic aspect is important, the state’s support of Fort Jackson goes beyond that.
“We want to make sure that you see all sides of the
story,” Haley said. “It’s more than just about the money.
It’s more than just about the jobs. Those things are important to us. But it’s also about our Soldiers. What we’re
proud to say in South Carolina is that Fort Jackson is part
of our family.”
Haley, whose husband serves in the National Guard,
said the fate of Fort Jackson is also a personal issue to her.

Reserve center named for fallen Soldier
By SGT. KANDI HUGGINS
and SGT. 1ST CLASS JOHN FRIES
81st Regional Support Command
ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Soldiers,
veterans, community leaders and family members came together to recognize a
fallen Soldier Feb. 21. The U.S. Army Reserve Center in Orangeburg was named in
honor of Staff Sgt. Anthony Thompson, an
Orangeburg native, who died in 2003 during combat operations in Tikrit, Iraq.
The 81st Regional Support Command
hosted the ceremony at the facility, which
opened in October.
During her address to the crowd of more
than 100 people, Maj. Gen. Janet Cobb, the
commander of the 81st RSC, talked about
the importance of remembering all those
who gave so much in defense of our freedom.
“Long after we who are here today are
gone, those who travel past this place will
say, ‘He must have been something,’”
Cobb said. “A building named after him

Thompson’s surviving family members
who attended the ceremony said they saw
the event as bittersweet.
Jaykwon Thompson, who was 4 years
old when his father was killed, said that he
had already come to terms with his father’s
death, but the day’s events had stirred up
many emotions he didn’t even know he
had left.
“I never would have thought that my
dad would get all this and I’m really grateful for that,” Thompson said. “I’m honored
and I’m pretty sure he’s honored up in
heaven about this. Today was just a great

“(The) community needs this to build

Odierno, Dailey visit SHARP Academy
By SCOTT GIBSON
Combined Arms Center Fort Leavenworth
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Army Chief of Staff
Gen. Ray Odierno and Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey

For both members of the Army’s most senior command
WHDPWKLVYLVLWZDVWKHLU¿UVWVLQFHWKH$UP\UHORFDWHGWKH
baseline course at the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center on
Fort Leavenworth in October.
Odierno spoke to the class about the importance trust
plays in the Army’s organization, and about the role each
class member will play as graduates of the SHARP Academy as they become key participants in the preservation of
that trust.
“The reason that the sergeant major and I are here today
is to tell you personally how important this program is to
us,” Odierno said. “Your job is to educate our Army and to
create a program at your level that provides comfort and the
necessary support to properly care for those who are victims.”
Odierno believes that although the Army is making positive headway in the areas of sexual harassment and sexual
assault prevention, there is still work to be done in changing
the existing culture. He added that Soldiers must continue to
focus on the inculcation of Army values and treating each
other with dignity and respect at all times.
“How well we do in this mission (sexual harassment and
sexual assault prevention) is fundamental to how well we do
as an Army in the future,” Odierno said. “It’s that important
to me.”

taking his new job.
As Dailey addressed class members, he emphasized a
need to focus not only on the aftermath of sexual assault and
sexual harassment, but to also highlight those leaders at all
levels who are having a positive impact in the prevention of
these acts.
“Where the Army has its greatest success are those programs where the Army’s junior leaders take ownership,”
Dailey said. “This will never be a mission that will ever end,
but it can and it will get better as we hold junior leaders ac-
countable and empower them.”
To emphasize this point, Dailey discussed the need for
a “not in my squad” mentality in which leaders at all levels take responsibility for the elimination of actions that go
against the Army values.
Graduates who complete the seven-week SHARP baseline course will go on to serve as Army sexual assault response coordinators and victim advocates. Upon graduation
of the current class, Fort Leavenworth’s academy will have
