KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 Adrienne Miller lives a pretty normal life. She has a home she shares with her husband of 37 years in a small town not far from Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, and the Logistics Data Analysis Center where she works. And she has a 33-year-old son who is a school principal and lives close by. Everything is pretty normal for her. Except one. She\u2019s currently deployed to Europe.<\/p>\n

Miller is an Army Expeditionary Civilian Workforce deployer assigned to Army Field Support Battalion-Mannheim. The battalion is in the process of redesignating to Army Field Support Battalion-Poland and taking command of the new Long Term Equipment Storage and Maintenance-Complex in Powidz, Poland, and Miller is the battalion\u2019s human resource specialist and acting adjutant.<\/p>\n

And if that wasn\u2019t enough, during her 11-month tour as an AECW deployer that ends in February, Miller also worked at the 405th Army Field Support Brigade headquarters in the Installation Logistics Directorate helping to establish and standup the newly activated Logistics Readiness Center Poland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI arrived at the 405th AFSB in March, working the \u2018Pivot to Poland\u2019 project and assisting LRC Poland Director Chanteen Violette and the ILD director with standing up LRC Poland,\u201d said Miller. \u201cThe ILD team was wonderful \u2013 very welcoming and willing to share their experiences, and it was a great opportunity to work with Chanteen on staffing before the LRC officially activated.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now Miller is doing something similar with AFSBn-Mannheim as it assumes its new mission and redesignates to AFSBn-Poland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AECW program has given me so many opportunities to grow and develop personally and professionally,\u201d said Miller, who has been working in the human resources field with the Army for over 11 years as a civilian, plus 4.5 years more as a personnel specialist and active duty Soldier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI think the AECW program gives people the opportunity to add so many different things to their tool bags, whatever their chosen field might be,\u201d said Miller, who has seen AECW personnel be assigned to her battalion as supply specialists, quality assurance specialists, HR specialists and more.<\/p>\n

In her specific field, Miller said there are many HR requirements overseas that aren\u2019t part of her duties stateside \u2013 things like overseas extensions, relocation incentives and the overseas recruitment process.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of this stuff is new to me,\u201d said Miller, who also worked as a logistics management specialist for eight years, \u201cTo have this opportunity and to be a part of a new battalion moving into a new region is really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller, who has a master\u2019s degree from Texas A&M in science and business administration, became an Army civilian employee in 2004 as part of Army Materiel Command\u2019s Fellows Program. She\u2019s done a lot in her nearly 20 years of civilian service and learned much. She said people should treat AECW as an opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think some people might be afraid to volunteer for AECW, but it’s a wonderful opportunity and the AECW staff are really there to support you,\u201d Miller said. \u201cAny question you have \u2013 no matter how major or minor \u2013 they want to help. They want to make sure that not only are you a benefit to the organization you’re supporting, but also you’re receiving something in return.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The AECW program has deployment opportunities in a temporary duty status for six, nine, or 11 months available for Army civilians worldwide, to include many with the 405th AFSB in Europe. The program offers overseas assignments at a variety of locations with no change to an employee’s permanent grade or position of record. The grade level listed for an AECW position is suggested, and employees can be plus or minus one grade interval from what is listed.<\/p>\n

Army civilians who are interested in applying for the AECW program may submit a resume, recent SF-50, DD214 (if former military) and a signed request for deployment form found here<\/a>. They should submit these documents through their supervisory chain and human resources department. For more information, contact the AECW program office by email<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 405th AFSB is assigned to U.S. Army Sustainment Command and under the operational control of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, U.S. Army Europe and Africa. The brigade is headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. Forces throughout Europe and Africa \u2013 providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging AMC\u2019s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.
