CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq — Leaders and soldiers with the 2nd Detachment, 8th Ordnance Company, 749th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), recently welcomed three new ordnance soldiers to the Ammunition Supply Point on Contingency Operating Base Adder.
Spc. Andrew McAllister, an Atlanta native, Spc. Xavier Rice, a Radcliff, Ky., native, and Sgt. Michael Kingsland, a Buffalo, N.Y., native, are the newest members of the “Super Bullet” team. These ammunition stock control specialists, who recently arrived with the 4th Sust. Bde., provide assistance in completing the various tasks that make the ASP mission successful on a daily basis.
As this is the first deployment for both Rice and McAllister, Rice said he hopes the experience will help expand his knowledge of his military occupational specialty.
McAllister agreed, saying that he enjoyed working at the ASP because “the workflow is the right mix of paperwork, ammunition, accounting and physical labor.”
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ryan Hammonds, the Ammunition Supply Point accountability officer, and a Craigsville, W.Va., native, said that the deployment was a great opportunity for the soldiers to learn and that they are able to “see and work with different types of ammunition.”
“They are truly an asset to the team,” said Hammonds about the three soldiers.
