    CAMP ROBERTS, Calif. – Now that the Combat Support Training Exercise 91 12-01 has begun, soldiers from around the United States are beginning to in-process through the Reception Staging Onward-Movement and Integration cell here, July 9, 2012.

    Brig. Gen. Jon D. Lee visited the troops at Camp Roberts, where he thanked 2nd Lt. Christopher Jones and Sgt. 1st Class Linda Jones-Pierce of the 90th Sustainment Brigade, Little Rock, Ark., for their hard work of in-processing hundreds of troops to the CSTX at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif. “I wanted to recognize the young lieutenant who has been doing such a great job,” said Lee.

    Jones, a former infantryman and truck driver, was commissioned May of 2011 as an Army medical corps officer and also serves as the duty safety officer for this exercise. “I will always remember this experience,” said Jones. “I learned a lot about operations, planning and how to execute operation orders.”

    Jones-Pierce, who is both a human resource specialist and finance technician, was recognized for her dedication to the enormous job of processing hundreds of soldiers in and out of Camp Roberts. With 23 years of experience, she enjoyed the hard work saying, “I loved my time here. You never stop learning and I have met a lot of interesting people.”

    Lee took command of the 91st Training Division, which organizes the exercise, at the end of June. As the new commander, he wanted to observe the in-processing first hand. He met with many of the troops and sat in on a policy briefing. The general also addressed the group being briefed and made his policies clear.

    “I will not tolerate the consumption of alcohol or sexual harassment, but more than anything else, I want everyone to be a safety officer and make that is your number one priority,” said Lee.

    The ROSI is a very important function of exercise. Before troops can enter the cantonment zone, they must be processed for accountability. More than 2,000 soldiers from across the country will eventually begin and end their training at Camp Roberts.

    Camp Roberts is a California National Guard post. It is named after Harold W. Roberts, a World War I Medal of Honor recipient. Nearby communities include San Miguel, Heritage Ranch Shores and Bradley.
