PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC)
USAG Illesheim (Stork Barracks) Germany
2019
Base Summary:
Stork Barracks, Illesheim is part of USAG Ansbach, located approx. 37 kilometers southeast. Stork Barracks was once a permanent party installation. In 2015 it became host to Rotational Aviation Forces deployed here to enhance mission readiness and support Operation Atlantic Resolve. The purpose of Atlantic Resolve is to deter Russian aggression, reassure our NATO allies, and support stability in the region.
There are no families here, only Soldiers. Most of the soldiers are junior enlisted (E1 – E4), and for many this is their first deployment. The environment is Spartan by design. The mission is to be “Ready to Fight”. This is the driving force behind every activity while the 1st Cav is on this rotational deployment.
The total boots on ground are around 1800, officers and enlisted ranks. While here, the soldiers have staggered TDY deployments to training sites on neighboring installations in Germany, Poland, Romania, Latvia, and Turkey.
Presenting Issues
Relationship and communication issues were the motivating reasons for the soldiers to seek assistance from the MFLC program. Many pre-existing relationship issues intensified during this deployment. Developing communication skills was the focus during my tour at Illesheim. Soldiers have demonstrated a lack of ability to have a “Courageous Conversation,” when dealing with conflict resolution or challenges, such as, infidelity, grief, loss, sibling relationship, or blended family problems.

From its arrival in the country, the Mission was looking into issues pertaining to voter registration and dissemination of the information required by citizens to be able to cast their ballot. The OAS fielded a team of 130 experts and observers of twenty-four nationalities. On Election Day, they observed the electoral process in all ten departments of the country from the opening of the polls through the counting of the ballots, visiting 474 voting centers. The Mission observed the tabulation process and had a continuous presence at the Tabulation Center (CTV) until the publication of the preliminary results.

With over 80 percent of CSOSA’s entering population self-reporting a history of substance abuse and approximately 40 percent reporting a diagnosed mental illness, CSOSA places a priority on providing quality programming and treatment services. CSOSA provides clients in need of treatment with a variety of services, including detox and short- and long-term residential and aftercare. In addition, CSOSA’s Reentry and Sanctions Center provides high-risk clients with intensive assessment and pretreatment services as well as those with co-occurring substance use and behavioral health challenges.
The HIDTA program focuses on criminally active hard-core offenders with substance abuse problems. Using intensive drug treatment, close monitoring, drug testing, and swift sanctions, the goal is to change the drug abuser's behavior and reduce the offender's demand for drugs. The overall impact of this approach keeps the individual from returning to a life of crime to support a drug habit and halts the revolving door to jail or prison. Communities become safer, business drops off for local drug suppliers, and addicts learn to live as productive, law-abiding citizens, changing from predators to contributors.
1.I was responsible for the fiscal management of the 1.3-million-dollar annual budget, funded through the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) initiative. I monitored expenditures within the initiative monthly and ensured that the admin. staff correctly submitted the required paperwork to transfer funds within the proper budgetary parameters.
2.I facilitated youthful offenders’ reintegration into the community by providing a variety of mental health/substance abuse, pre-treatment, and assessment programs. Also, supported successful reentry by providing educational, vocational, training and referral services to offenders in the District of Columbia.
3.CSOSA's mission is to enhance public safety, prevent crime and reduce recidivism among those supervised and to support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community.
As a member of the Executive Board (EB) of the Washington/Baltimore HIDTA, I was responsible for the development and implementation of the HIDTA strategy, initiatives, and budgets, which were based on the identified drug threat in the Washington/Baltimore area.

Our mandate was to help ensure respect, in Haiti, for the human rights set forth in the Haitian Constitution and, especially, in the international instruments to which Haiti is party, notably, the International Covenant relating to civil and political rights and the American Convention on Human Rights.
I served in Haiti under the direction of Ambassador Colin Granderson, Organization of American States and Mr. Michael Moller, Deputy Director the Americas Division, Department of Political Affairs for the United Nations. My assignment was the establishment of a civilian observer presence in the Department of the West, which included Port-au-Prince. I was assigned to the Port-au-Prince office. My duties included investigating claims of human rights violations, interviewing, and visiting prisoners for human rights violations, civic education training based on democracy and filing interim reports on the situation of democracy and human rights in Haiti.
