CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq – Plenty of soldiers were in attendance to enjoy volleyball, basketball, card games, music, food and drinks during a May 29 organization day for 4th Special Troops Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command.
This quarterly event brought out more than 150 soldiers throughout the day from all across the brigade, giving them a chance to relax and have some fun in the sun.
“Org Day is all about building morale and esprit de corps,” said 1st Sgt. Alan Kitchen, first sergeant for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Special Troops Battalion, and a Bangor, Maine, native. “I believe our soldiers’ morale is the highest it’s been since I’ve been in the unit. They’re doing their mission on a daily basis, and that’s very gratifying to them.”
The timing of this event couldn’t have been any better since the brigade just recently reached its 100th day of deployment in Iraq. The fiercest competition came in the “North side” vs. “South side” basketball and volleyball games.
The north side won the basketball game, while the south side won the volleyball game.
All in good fun, both teams vowed to even the score on the next Organization Day.
