COLUMBUS, OHIO - The 88th Regional Support Command held its inaugural Regional Base Operations Training Symposium, at the Ohio National Guard Regional Training Institute, Columbus, Ohio, July 30.
ReBOTS is a program designed to bring the 88th RSC headquarters to customers throughout its 19-state-region and brief them on the services they provide through their various directorates.
“This is an event where we come to you and talk directly about the things related to what you do,” said Charles Hudson, 88th RSC chief of staff. “By doing this you’ll understand what we do and together we can start sharing information.”
The intent behind ReBOTS is to make life simpler and better for the 88th RSC and its subordinate units, Hudson said.
“That’s the basis for having this type of event … we want to see units bring their people and have a wide array of directorates attend the breakout sessions,” he continued.
“We want to see logisticians, maintainers and others.”
Hudson said the ReBOTS program is replacing the previous Customer Support Workshop, which was a senior officer event and took place for the previous four years.
“They would come to our location at Fort McCoy or someplace we had set up,” Hudson said. “At those events information would be provided similar to this and the information would be pushed down to you. The problem was the information wasn’t always reaching everyone who needed it.”
This caused a change in strategy and with the old workshops having run their course, the decision was made to take a new form of workshop directly to the commands, he said.
“Attendance was falling and we felt we weren’t pushing out the overall operations of the 88th and Army Reserve- it wasn’t clear communication,” Hudson said. “We devised this in order to reach out directly to the grass roots level of how we operate and what our role is.”
ReBOTS will continue as long as there is enough demand for it, said Hudson, with events scheduled for Indianapolis and Detroit in the coming months.
