Terry Rich- ardson on Monday for actions during the Vietnam War. (WHITE HOUSE PHOTO) T hree soldiers, whose collective service spanned World War II, Vietnam and Afghanistan, were awarded the Medal of Honor on Monday during a ceremony at the White House. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Terry Richardson received the na- tion’s highest award for valor from President Donald Trump during the ceremony. Master Sgt. Roderick Edmonds and Staff Sgt. Michael Ol- lis were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Edmonds’ son Chris Edmonds and Ollis’ parents, Robert and Linda Ollis, accepted the awards on their loved ones’ behalf. “We’re gathered this morning to recognize the unsurpassed courage of three really incredible American heroes,” Trump said during the cer- emony. The three soldiers were honored just a week after Chief Warrant Of- ficer 5 Eric Slover, a special opera- tions pilot who was wounded during the U.S. mission to capture Venezu- elan leader Nicolás Maduro, received the Medal of Honor. Slover was recognized Feb. 24 during Trump’s State of the Union address on Capitol Hill along with retired Navy Capt. Royce Williams, now 100 years old, for his actions during the Korean War in 1952. Command Sgt. Maj. Terry Richardson A native of Cass City, Michigan, Richardson worked on his family’s farm after graduating from high school until he was drafted at 19 into the Army in May 1967. After com- pleting training, he received orders to deploy to Vietnam in May 1968. On Sept. 14, 1968, then-Staff Sgt. Richardson was a platoon leader with Company A, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Di- vision, near Loc Ninh, Vietnam. During a reconnaissance mission, Richardson came under intense au- tomatic weapons and small-arms fire from a well-entrenched North Viet- namese Army battalion, according to the White House. The enemy fire “just kept coming,” pinning down the soldiers “in hell on Earth,” Trump said.

Part of the Army’s transformation efforts, the course seeks to prepare mid-grade officers and NCOs to lead formations with integrated autono- mous and robotic systems. The U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence launched the first pilot course Feb. 10, the service announced. Each pilot will be three weeks long and run five days a week. Robotic and autonomous systems will play a key role on the future battlefield, so this training is critical for young leaders, said Lt. Col. Alan Hastings, commander of 3rd Squad- ron, 16th Cavalry Regiment, the unit overseeing the training. The goal is for the course is “to provide a touch point within an of- ficer or NCO’s professional military education timeline where they are exposed to this subject matter and they develop a foundation for build- ing proficiency and expertise in plan- ning tactical operations,” Hastings said in an Army news release. Course director Capt. Alison Darby said the training is intended for offi- cers from first lieutenant to major and NCOs who are sergeants first class and above. Eligible NCOs should be graduates of the Scout Leader Course or Battle Staff NCO Course, while of- ficers should be Maneuver Captain’s Career Course graduates. “We’re looking for leaders [who] are returning to the operational force where there is likely to be one of these robotics and autonomous systems formations integrated at the company, battalion or brigade level,” Darby said, according to the release. The Robotic Autonomous Systems Leader Tactics Course begins with discussions to enhance students’ un- derstanding of various types of au- tonomous systems and unmanned ground vehicles. The first week will end with a cognitive exercise where, from a company commander’s per- spective, students will develop a plan within a mobile brigade combat team with autonomous and unmanned as- sets attached. AUSA Basic Members can now view a selection of articles from the March issue of ARMY magazine. To read the articles, click here. ARMY magazine March issue During the second week, course participants will analyze the capa- bilities of small unmanned aircraft systems while learning about elec- tromagnetic spectrum management and the impact of terrain and weath- er. They will finish the week with a defensive tactical decision exercise, where students assume the role of an armor company commander with ro- botics systems attached to their com- bined arms formation. In week three, students will dis- cuss leadership, ethics and other general considerations of robotic and autonomous systems. A final tactical decision exercise will require partici- pants to enable an offensive maneu- ver utilizing these systems. “Graduates of this course should be able to understand the capabilities and limitations of several types of robotic and autonomous systems that are already being implemented in the force or are a proposed idea to add into the force,” Darby said, according to the release. “Whatever unit they go to, students will have the capabil- ity and understanding of how to plan and utilize these systems to enable the maneuver formations.” A student in the first pilot of the Robotic Autonomous Systems Leader Tactics Course observes his surroundings from the perspective of an unmanned aerial system during a demonstration at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Voice for the Army – Support For the Soldier PERK OF THE WEEK ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY ‘Decisive action’ needed to fortify Army’s organic industrial base T he Army is moving quickly to strengthen its organic indus- trial base by addressing aging infrastructure, transforming how it works with industry and expanding its manufacturing capabilities, a se- nior officer said. While many of the Army’s organic industrial base facilities have been modernized since they were estab- lished during World War II, “too much of the OIB still relies upon the aging infrastructure, legacy equip- ment and outdated processes com- bined with fluctuating workload tied to operational tempo,” Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, commanding general of U.S. Army Materiel Command, said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee’s tactical air and land forces and readiness sub- committees. “These challenges now demand decisive action,” Mohan said at the Feb. 24 hearing. “The OIB not only supports operational readiness for current operations, but it preserves the nation's ability to surge during conflict, … provides strategic depth and fills production gaps while indus- try scales to meet wartime demand.” Mohan pointed out that an Army Materiel Command report to Army senior leaders in November consid- ered every policy, regulation, stat- ute and business process impacting the health and viability of the OIB, assessing each of its sites and offer- ing recommendations to address the challenges. Among the key issues, he said, were the need to balance steady-state and surge capacities, improve readi- ness, improve efficiency and “expand industry partnerships to stabilize revenue, particularly during peace time when workload traditionally declines with strong senior leader support.” In his first appearance before the subcommittees as assistant secre- Automated systems move 155 mm projec- tile bodies down the production line for refurbishment at Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky.

Ingraham pointed to unpredictable production cycles that disrupt sched- ules, increase costs and hinder work- force planning; indirect costs that drive up operating rates and hinder competitiveness with commercial in- dustry; aging infrastructure and out- dated facilities that limit efficiency and the ability to support advanced technologies; and specialized skill gaps within the workforce. “We recognize these challenges and are actively addressing them,” Ingraham said. “The Army is focused on increasing direct labor hours, fos- tering public private partnerships and reducing indirect costs to en- sure long term sustainability of [the organic industrial base].” Ingraham will address an AUSA Coffee Series event next week.

As a nonprofit educational and professional development association serving America’s Army and sup- porters of a strong national defense, AUSA provides a voice for the Army, supports the soldier and honors those who have served. With more than 2 million mem- bers, 122 chapters worldwide and a national headquarters staff in Ar- lington, Virginia, AUSA works to ed- ucate, inform and connect America’s Army with the nation it serves. “We are thrilled to be named one of the 100 Best Places to Work in Greater Washington, but I am not surprised by this honor,” said retired Gen. Bob Brown, AUSA president and CEO. “The AUSA team is filled with dedicated, talented and hard- working people who are committed to our mission to support America’s Army. I’m so proud of everyone on the team and what they accomplish every day for our soldiers and our Army.” The annual Best Places to Work Awards, conducted by Washington Business Journal, recognize lo- cal employers that have gone above and beyond to create an outstand- ing workplace culture, according to the awards website. Rankings are based on confidential surveys of employees that measure success in team dynamics, trust in leadership, communication and more, with only the top-scoring companies in the region earning the coveted right to be named one of the Best Places to Work, the website says. Winning companies are honored by size—AUSA is one of 35 large compa- nies, with 50 to 249 employees, hon- ored this year. AUSA’s ranking among the top 100 will be revealed on May 7 during an awards celebration in Tysons Corner, Virginia.www.ausa.org 6 AUSA Extra | March 5, 2026 ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY Medal of Honor From Page 1 Chris Edmonds accepts the Medal of Honor from President Donald Trump on behalf of his father, Master Sgt.

With his platoon surrounded, Richardson realized that the only way they would avoid being overrun was with accurate tactical airstrikes, according to the Army. Richardson made his way up Hill 222 undetect- ed to call in tactical airstrikes from a shallow irrigation ditch with only rubber trees for cover. Once on Hill 222, Richardson real- ized that it was an enemy regiment’s base camp. There, he “skillfully di- rected air strikes” before being shot in the right leg by an enemy sniper, the White House and the Army said. Ignoring his wound, Richardson continued to direct air strikes near his position for seven more hours, calling in approximately 32 air- strikes until the enemy retreated, according to the Army. Later that day, Richardson’s fel- low soldiers found him with “both eardrums ruptured and a mangled right leg and foot,” Trump said. Rich- ardson’s actions saved the lives of 85 fellow soldiers, the Army said. Speaking to the media on March 1, Richardson said he struggled with the events of that night for years, accord- ing to Stars and Stripes. “I struggled for a long time, believe me. But I never told anyone,” Richardson said. He received the Silver Star for ac- tions, but his fellow service members fought for the award to be upgraded. “I am going to be humbled to have the president of the United States put that around my neck,” Richardson said, according to Stars and Stripes. “I’ll probably be thinking of a lot of my friends that lost their lives in Vietnam, and how my life’s going to change.” Master Sgt. Roderick Edmonds Edmonds, who went by Roddie, grew up in South Knoxville, Tennes- see, and worked as a stock clerk in a wallpaper store before enlisting in the Army in 1941. By December 1944, Edmonds was a master sergeant and the senior NCO of the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 106th Infantry Division’s 442nd Infantry Regiment. Arriving in Europe just days be- fore the Battle of the Bulge, Edmonds and others were captured by German forces on Dec. 19, 1944, and held as prisoners of war at Stalag IX-B in Bad Orb, Germany, according to the Army. On Jan. 25, 1945, Edmonds and the other NCOs in the camp were transferred to Stalag IX-A in Ziegen- hain, Germany. As the highest-ranking NCO at the camp, Edmonds was placed in com- mand of the camp’s 1,292 American POWs. On the evening of Jan. 26, 1945, the Germans announced that only Jewish-American prisoners would fall out for roll call the follow- ing morning, at the threat of execu- tion, according to the White House. “Roddie knew their separation from the group would mean cer- tain death,” Trump said during the ceremony. Edmonds came up with a plan, and the next morning, all 1,200 American prisoners fell in line together, “shoulder to shoulder,” Trump said. The Nazi commandant became incredulous after realizing that so many Americans were standing in formation. Enraged, the German of- ficer drew his pistol and pressed the barrel between Edmonds’ eyes and demanded that Edmonds identify the Jewish soldiers, Trump said. “They cannot all be Jews,” the officer yelled, Trump said. Edmonds replied, “We are all Jews here.” Several weeks later, in March 1945, as Allied forces were rapidly advancing toward the area, the Ger- mans ordered all prisoners to assem- ble outside the barracks for evacua- tion farther east to another camp, the Army said. Fully intending to under- mine his enemy captors, Edmonds or- dered all American prisoners to form in front of the barracks, and when the enemy transports arrived, they would break ranks and rush back to their barracks. www.ausa.orgMarch 5, 2026 | AUSA Extra 7 ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY “Without regard for his own life, Master Sergeant Edmonds gallantly led these prisoners in a relentless pursuit of opposition and resistance, forcing the Germans to abandon the camp leaving the 1,200 American prisoners behind,” the Army said. On March 30, 1945, the camp was liberated by the advancing U.S. 6th Armored Division. Edmonds returned to the United States in April 1945 and was dis- charged in October that year. He re- turned to active duty in September 1950 and served with 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, in Korea from July 1950 to early 1951, the Army said. After his service, Edmonds re- turned to Knoxville, married and raised two sons. He died in 1985. Chris Edmonds said his father never talked about his experiences during the war. Instead, he learned about his father’s actions from anoth- er POW and by reading his father’s diaries after his death. “He wrote in his diary, ‘I’m a little guy but a gi- ant of a man,’” Chris Edmonds told reporters, according to Stars and Stripes. “He loved our country. He loved our freedom. He was a man whose heart beat for freedom.” Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis Born in Staten Island, New York, Ollis was almost 13 when terrorists attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Inspired by his father and grandfathers’ mili- tary service and driven by the at- tacks on his home state, Ollis joined the Army in 2006. In January 2013, Ollis, an infan- tryman assigned to the 10th Moun- tain Division’s 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, deployed to Af- ghanistan for his third overseas de- ployment. On Aug. 28, 2013, a complex enemy attack involving vehicle-borne IEDs, suicide vests, indirect fire and small arms fire was launched against his base, Forward Operating Base Ghaz- ni in Afghanistan, according to the Army. After accounting for his soldiers, Ollis moved to check for casualties and toward the enemy force that had breached the base perimeter. Ollis found 2nd Lt. Karol Cierpica, a Pol- ish officer and a member of the coali- tion forces also stationed at the base, and together they moved toward the point of attack, without body armor and armed only with rifles. While under continuous small- arms, indirect and rocket-propelled grenade fires, Ollis and Cierpica reached the attack point and linked up with other friendly forces to begin a coordinated effort to repulse the enemy from the airfield and adjacent buildings. They moved under fire from position to position, engaging the enemy with accurate and effec- tive fire. During the fight, an enemy com- batant came around a corner and im- mediately began firing at Ollis and Cierpica. Ollis positioned himself between the insurgent and Cierpica, who had been wounded in both legs and was unable to walk. Ollis fired on the enemy fighter, incapacitat- ing him, but as he approached the wounded fighter, the fighter’s suicide vest detonated, mortally wounding Ollis, the Army said. “Staff Sgt. Ollis was killed just weeks before his 25th birthday, and nobody was anymore brave than that. In his final act on Earth, Michael absorbed the blast, sparing the life of that Polish warrior,” Trump said, as he introduced Cierpica during the ceremony. Ollis was posthumously awarded the Silver Star, the nation’s third- highest award for valor in combat. In 2019, the medal was upgraded to a Distinguished Service Cross, accord- ing to a 2024 10th Mountain Division news release. In 2017, the president of Poland awarded Ollis the Star of Afghani- stan and the Gold Medal of the Polish Army, the highest honor that country can give to an allied soldier. Ollis’ father, Robert, said Cierpica and the Poles continue to honor his son. “To this day, they still honor him in so many different ways. They rec- ognize his sacrifice, and they tell us how important he is to them,” Rob- ert Ollis said, according to Stars and Stripes. “We’re just so amazed and so grateful that they remember him.” President Donald Trump awards the Medal of Honor to Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis (inset), who was killed in Afghanistan in 2013, saving the life of a Polish officer. Ollis’ parents, Robert and Linda Ollis, accepted the award on their son's behalf.

(U.S. ARMY PHOTO) F ebruary was a busy month in Washington, both for Congress and the Association of the U.S. Army’s Government Affairs director- ate. Lawmakers passed the defense appropriations bill in early Febru- ary, which is critical legislation for the Total Army and the joint force. A partial government shutdown will continue until Congress passes the Department of Homeland Security funding bill or a continuing resolu- tion with stopgap funding. With the fiscal year 2026 defense, military construction and veterans affairs appropria- tions bills and National Defense Authorization Act enacted, AUSA’s advocacy focus is now on fiscal 2027. We anticipate a continuing resolu- tion will be necessary when the fiscal 2027 begins on Oct. 1, and we do not foresee final appropriations bills or the new National Defense Authoriza- tion Act to pass until after Novem- ber. But AUSA continues to advocate for timely and adequate funding for the Total Army. To guide our advocacy efforts, re- tired Gen. Bob Brown, AUSA presi- dent and CEO, and the association’s vice presidents have approved our 2026 AUSA Focus Areas. This year’s Focus Areas expand upon our 2025 priorities and include recommenda- tions for additional funding for the Army to support readiness and trans- formation, along with recommending legislation to pay soldiers and Army civilians in the event of another lapse in appropriations. Read the 2026 Focus Areas here. In our advocacy work supporting the Total Army with Congress, AUSA continues to highlight the importance of family readiness as part of overall Army readiness. We encourage Con- gress to support quality child care and the availability of these services for soldiers and families. Government Affairs Without sufficient and quality child care, spouse employment will remain a challenge and family readi- ness will be hampered. Last week, AUSA Family Readi- ness director Holly Dailey and I at- tended the Department of War and Armed Services YMCA opening cer- emony for their newest child care center, a safe, state-of-the art facility that is fully staffed and ready to go in service of the military. Partnerships with organizations such as the Armed Services YMCA serve to strengthen our advocacy with Congress. Also, please join the Government Affairs team in welcoming Sgt. Maj. Kristian Castro to AUSA for his SkillBridge internship. Castro will be with us through March, then he goes on leave prior to retiring from the Army. As the outgoing senior enlisted ad- viser in the U.S. Army Office of the Chief Legislative Liaison, Castro is a great fit for the Government Affairs directorate. As always, AUSA continues to sup- port passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, the programs and policy bill that is critical to the To- tal Army. That annual authorization process is beginning again. You can assist in building momen- tum for timely, sufficient and flex- ible funding for the Total Army by contacting your representatives and senators or by meeting with them. We encourage you to meet with law- makers or their staffs as constituents and AUSA members in support of the Total Army. As a reminder, AUSA only takes positions and lobbies at the federal level on federal issues. AUSA does not lobby or take positions on state or local issues or legislation. AUSA is nonpartisan and apolitical. Mark Haaland is AUSA’s Government Affairs director.
