Froehling to
Retire
After
30 years of exemplary service, Col. Stuart Froehling will
retire from the U.S. Army on June 30, 1997. Froehling has
been the assistant chief of staff, reserve affairs, since
May 15, 1996. His affiliation with INSCOM, however, began
in the early 1980s when he was an individual mobilization
augmentee at Fort George G. Meade, Md. He also served at
Arlington Hall Station, as the REDTRAIN branch chief from
1987 to 1989 as an Active Guard/Reserve officer.
Froehling served as both an
enlisted soldier and a commissioned officer in both the
active and Reserve Components. He has served as an
aviator, a Special Forces officer and a Foreign Area
Officer.
As an aviator, Froehling
flew helicopters in Vietnam with the Americal Division,
earning the Distinguished Flying Cross and Purple Heart
among his awards. He also served a tour in Panama in the

Intelligence Master Plan.
As assistant chief of
staff, Reserve Affairs, at INSCOM, Froehling brought the
Reserve Component Support and Integration Plan to
fruition. The plan defines the Reserve Component-active
component relationship. Under his leadership, Reserve
Affairs developed the Funded Reimbursable Account, which
allows INSCOM to provide its own funding source for
Reserve Component soldiers and results in much more
freedom and flexibility using these soldiers. (Submitted

Two Employees
win Annual Resource Management Awards
Congratulations
to Anita Stevens and Ronald Mason, who were presented
Department of the Army FY 1996 Annual Resource Management
Awards in a March 21 ceremony at INSCOM Headquarters.
Stevens, a management analyst, works at Headquarters
INSCOM in the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff,
Resource Management. Mason, a budget analyst, is the
resource management officer at the National Ground
Intelligence Center, in Charlottesville, Va.
Stevens won the HQDA
Fiscal Year 1996 Resource Management Award in the
category of analysis and evaluation, major command and
higher. She was recognized for establishing a vigorous
training and implementation program to institute the new
management control requirements INSCOM-wide in FY 1996.
She worked with her counterparts throughout the command,
other major commands and HQDA staff throughout the year.
Stevens exchanged information and promoted stewardship
concerning the prevention of fraud, waste and abuse of
resources. She helped train subordinate commands to
execute the management control program requirements
throughout their organization. Stevens also promoted the
establishment of a Headquarters, INSCOM, senior
management council.
Mason won the HQDA Fiscal
Year 1996 Resource Management Award in the category of
comptroller/deputy comptroller below major command level.
He was recognized for his outstanding leadership,
initiative, ingenuity and technical competency in
performance of his resource management responsibilities
during FY 1996. Due to the disestablishment of the
Intelligence Threat and Analysis Center and subsequent
transfer of functions to the National Ground Intelligence
Center, Mason consolidated the resource management
programs of both organizations into a single program. He
directed the development of two separate and unique
programs submissions for FY 1998-2003 and managed their
progression through HQDA, Defense Intelligence Agency and
Office of the Secretary of Defense while retaining
critical resources necessary for successful mission
accomplishment. He also was responsible for transitioning
the National Ground Intelligence Centers finance
and accounting support to the Rome, New York, Operation
Location. (Submitted by Tricia Campbell)
703rd Soldier
Saves Life
Sgt.
1st Class Michael Moores trip to the Commissary in
January proved anything but routine. The 703rd MI Brigade
S3 Operations NCO noticed an apartment complex manager
attempting to revive a jogger, who was lying on the
ground. The jogger was another resident, Jerry Balcer,
who had been jogging when he collapsed in front of
Manager Lee H. Denny.
Moore stopped his vehicle
and ran over to assist. He quickly checked for a pulse,
but Balcers heart had stopped beating.
Moore dialed 911 for help
on his cellular phone, then started cardiopulmonary
resuscitation a skill he learned in 1980 while
member of a volunteer fire department. Moore continued
CPR for several minutes while Denny assisted with chest
compressions.
When the emergency team
arrived, they prepared to shock Balcer in an attempt to
restart his heart. They instructed Moore to continue CPR.
Balcer survived the heart attack and was treated in the
Intensive Care Unit at Kapiolani Medical Center at
Pali Momi, Hawaii.
When Denny contacted the
hospital later that night, he was told if Moore and Denny
had not been present, Balcer might have died.
"It was a good
feeling, but yet, when I was giving (Balcer)
mouth-to-mouth, he had the dead stare. Once I knew he
lived, it was a good feeling."
Moore was awarded the Army
Commendation Medal for his courage and quick action. (Submitted
