As you plan and prepare to execute your training events here, Camp Ripley Command reminds you that our whole purpose is to provide you the facilities, resources, and support you need to execute your training in a realistic environment. If there is anything we can do to assist you, please let us or our staff know, and let us know where we can improve; whether it is facilities, processes, procedures, policies, or whatever. We want to know how we can best serve you and your Soldiers. Think about this while you are here, and let us know through phone calls, emails, face to face interactions, or our ICE surveys.
Senior Enlisted Leaders
Senior Enlisted Leaders, please contact CSM of CRTC at 320-616-2705 (preferably prior to arriving) so we can build the relationship between you, your unit, and Camp Ripley. Also, have your OPS NCOIC at 320-616-6022 to schedule an initial welcome brief that can be conducted within your first two days on the ground. Please review our regulations (CRTC, Range, Motor Vehicle, etc.) so you have a full understanding of the implications behind them, and your unit is prepared to execute your training.
Safety
Please remind your personnel that the most common speed limit in cantonment is 20 mph, with a couple roads set at 30 mph, while downrange it is at most 25 mph, and is always lower when passing troops. Dust, construction, and slippery roads can create hazards when driving that require your Soldiers' diligence to negotiate safely.
Traffic and POV Parking
Our Traffic Regulation includes the use of a points system (points assessed for citations, and after enough points have been assessed, driving privileges on post will be suspended). We ask that you understand who your POV drivers are, what they are driving, confirm they are licensed and insured and that they understand where your unit command teams are directing them to park (in designated parking or designated Overflow Parking Areas)
Waste and Recycling
As you execute your plans and generate the accompanying waste, please have your units deposit the waste in the appropriate containers and dumpsters, sorted by organics, recyclables, cardboard, and garbage. A reminder to collect the MRE heaters (FRHs) as last year, with none in any dumpster.
PX and MWR Activities
The PX has expanded their hours, open from 0800-1700 daily except for holidays. Camp Ripley also offers Subway and Taco Johns as food options. Please give them feedback on whether their schedule supports your Soldiers & units, and how they can better serve you. When your Soldiers are off duty, we invite you to use any of our MWR facilities and equipment: we have everything from fishing equipment to Frisbee golf, and the Viking Club is a great place to unwind after a long training event.
Family Assistance Center and Personal Financial Counselor
Our Family Assistance Center is located in Building 11-1, as well as a full-time Personal Financial Counselor. Please use them as resources for your force. You can coordinate for both of them at 320-616-3119, and learn about other resources available as well.
