• CPT Richard Berrouet focused his Forge presentation on adjusting the marketing
themes of SHARP and the availability of SARCs/VAs to foster conditions that
encourage more Soldiers to seek resources earlier on before SH turns into SA.
• SSG Marta Bialkowski focused her Forge presentation on how we can better
address and communicate the consequences of SH/SA and better educate Soldiers
on consent.
• SSG Nicole Haig-Brown focused her Forge presentation on how incorporating
combatives into SHARP training will “combat” the corrosives of SH/SA while also
building readiness.

COL (R) Mr. Robert T. “Bob” Burns
Distinguished Civilian Service Medal
Mr. Robert T. “Bob” Burns distinguished himself throughout his tenure as
the Senior Department of the Army Civilian (DAC) of USAG Fort Bliss as
well as the Senior Civilian Leader of the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored
Division (1AD) Mission Support Element prior to integration.
When he retired in October of 2020, Bob’s 12 year career saw him lead
Fort Bliss through the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process,
and Fort Bliss’ conversion from a TRADOC installation to a true
FORSCOM installation.
Bob led the installation’s efforts which transformed Fort Bliss into the
Army’s most complex Power Projection Platform (AP3), and the largest
Mobilization Force Generation Installation in DOD it is today.
He stood-up the 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss; and oversaw the most
extensive military construction (MILCON) expansion of its time. He
modernized 1.12 million acres of training area making Fort Bliss the
Army’s premier training location; and built the Department of Defense’s
only CONUS Replacement Center (CRC).
Bob Burns’ visionary leadership, the initiatives he spearheaded, and
changes he implemented stand in testament to his operational, tactical,
and strategic impact Army-wide; and his genuine care for the Soldiers
and Civilians of our Army stand as his greatest legacy.
It is truly fitting that this summer, as we mark the 10th Anniversary of the
1st Armored Division’s repositioning to Fort Bliss, we have the honor of
presenting Mr. Bob Burns with the Secretary of the Army’s first-ever
Distinguished Civilian Service Medal, not only, to a Fort Bliss Civilian, but
first within the Installation Management Command, Directorate of
Readiness.
