Ordnance Center & School cases its colors at APG
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Ordnance Center & School cases its colors at APG

I didnt know it was happening already, they move to Fort Lee later this summer... I can tell you BRAC was very much in evidence, in a way not seen six months ago, when I visited on Saturday.

Ordnance Center, schools host symbolic ending to an era on Aberdeen Proving Ground

May 26, 2009

By YVONNE JOHNSON, APG News
Story Highlights

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- The flags and guidons of the Headquarters, U.S. Army Ordnance Center and Schools, Ordnance Mechanical Maintenance School and Ordnance Munitions and Electronics Maintenance School floated on an agreeable breeze as the Army's largest corps presented a symbolic end to its 92-year stay at Aberdeen Proving Ground during its School Colors Casing ceremony at Ordnance Circle, May 8.

With a host of former ordnance officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers in attendance, the Soldiers, Marines and Airmen of OMMS and OMEMS stood in formation as Brig. Gen. Lynn A. Collyar, OC&S commander and chief of Ordnance, and OC&S Regimental Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel A. Eubanks cased the colors that will be unfurled at the Corps' new home in Fort Lee, Va., later this summer.

Along with local, state and county politicians and public servants, guests included the 2009 OC&S Hall of Fame inductees who were honored during a ceremony at the Ordnance Museum earlier in the week.

The ceremony included an 11-gun Howitzer salute to Collyar by the OMMS Salute Battery led by Chief Warrant Officer 2 Eric Pelt and Staff Sgt. Eric Banks and music by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Band.

Reviewing the Ordnance Corps' 197-year history, Collyar said the Corps will remain strong as it begins its new chapter at Fort Lee.

"As we move to a new chapter, it's important that we celebrate this opportunity to survive as a Corps," he said. "We take pride in the fact that all we are really doing is moving."

Commenting on the Corps' proud history, which includes its beginnings during the American Revolution and "Service to the Line, on time," during every military conflict since, Collyar asked listeners to remember the ordnance Soldiers lost along the way.

"Sadly, since [9-11] we've had one-hundred eighty-nine ordnance Soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice," he said.

He thanked the installation for its support and the community for the partnerships it formed with ordnance Soldiers and asked that the spirit of unity continue.

"I ask that you provide the same support to CECOM, who will be taking our place here," he said, "and that you continue the partnership for the new organizations that you provided to us for ninety-two years.

"I appreciate the sacrifices everyone here has made," he added. "Let us continue our service to the line on time forever."

As former ordnance Warriors gathered on the headquarters building steps for final group photos, several commented on the day's meaning.

Eubanks said the ceremony was "closure to a great week," and that it represented an emotional closing to the past with anticipation for a bright future for ordnance Soldiers.

"Our students will have a new home of their own and the traditions we stand for will not be forgotten," Eubanks said. "We plan to go down there and lead the way in the logistics community."

He commended Lt. Col. Steven W. Fletcher and Sgts. Major Jerry L. McIntyre and Edward T. Brooks "for all the work they put in for Ordnance Week."

"Their hard work and dedication made our final Ordnance Week at APG one we can remember with pride," he said.

Former chief of ordnance, Maj. Gen. Vincent Boles, deputy G-4 at the Pentagon, said the event was "bittersweet."

"I have a lot of memories wrapped up in this place, but at the same time, if you go to Fort Lee, you'll see that there's an exciting future awaiting the Soldiers of the Ordnance Corps," he said. "There's a whole new campus for a whole new era."

Retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Harold DeBerry, former OC&S Regimental warrant officer, called the upcoming move "exciting."

"I visited the campus [at Fort Lee] and saw how things will be much better for the Soldiers," he said. "This is not a closing, just a movement and the start of a new chapter in Ordnance Corps history."

"Today marks a transition in time," said retired Col. John T. Wright, former APG Garrison commander. "It's bittersweet due to the Ordnance Corp's long connectivity to the installation but we have to remember that change is constant and that this move offers significant advantages to the Corps and its Soldiers."

Col. David W. Spence, deputy commander and chief of staff, OC&S, was Commander of Troops for the ceremony.

"APG, Maryland, is a huge part of our ordnance history and we'll never forget it. However, the new facilities and equipment at Fort Lee, the new home of Ordnance, are going to be awesome and our ordnance Soldiers surely deserve it," Spence said. "I'm truly happy to see it come to fruition, and I'm glad to play a small part in it. And regardless of wherever I may go, I'll know my ordnance Soldiers are getting the very best training possible to keep our Army Strong and rolling along."
