Non-Standard Mission, Standard Excellence

Abstract

In the beginning of 2004, the 115th Field Artillery Brigade Headquarters Battery sent a command element forward to conduct a non-standard mission, for an artillery unit, to provide a security element headquarters for a theater level command. The actions then changed again as the unit was split again to provide command post operations for the tenant and transient unit camps in Kuwait. The actions of the NCOs and their soldiers were above standard in almost every way. The task they faced was tremendous and arduous for soldiers not trained as support personnel. I intend to show that their achievements forged a new standard for camp operations throughout the theater, while also operating in a non-linear environment. It also provided the unit with a new SOP for non-standard operations.
