October is famous for leaf peeping; the vibrant colors are something to behold. Cooler fall temps are perfect for exploring pumpkin patches, apple orchards or enjoying local fall festivals. October has its dark side, though, with fewer daylight hours and glare on your windshield. The falling leaves make sidewalks and roadways slick. Use risk management to keep you in the fall spirit, not in the hospital. 🍂

Reduced Daylight and Glare 🚙

As autumn shortens daylight hours, drivers must contend with intense, low-angle sun glare during peak morning and evening commutes, along with reduced visibility after dusk.

🚙 Vehicle Prep: Clean the interior and exterior of all vehicle windows with an alcohol-based cleaner to remove film and haze. Apply an exterior rain-repellent coating to help water, morning mist and dirt shed.

🚙 The “Fog Line” Anchor: When confronted with oncoming glare, track the lane boundary (the white “fog line”) using peripheral vision to maintain vehicle path without looking into the light source.

🚙 Double Following Interval: Increase following distances to account for slower depth perception, delayed hazard identification and reaction lag in twilight or direct glare.

🚙 Sun Visor Trajectory: Adjust the sun visor to reduce glare while keeping your forward view clear. Pair visor and seat height adjustments to optimize the visual horizon.

🚙 Commute Window Adjustment: When possible, adjust your departure by 15–20 minutes so you avoid driving while the sun sits low on the horizon, both at sunrise and at sunset.

🚙 Slick Leaves: Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice. Slow down, brake earlier and watch your step on leaf-covered sidewalks and stairs.

For the first time in 10 years, the U.S. Army Recruiting Division (USARD) has achieved the Army Reserve recruiting mission, reaching its goal of 14,322 Future Soldiers.

"This success belongs to the entire team," said Brig. Gen. Sara Dudley, commanding general of the U.S. Army Recruiting Division. "This was heavy lifting across the entire formation, and you got it done."

Building on that momentum, the US Army 5th Recruiting Brigade recently hosted its Reserve Recruiting Partnership Council at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Army Reserve leaders, recruiters and Army Reserve ambassadors gathered there to align recruiting efforts for fiscal 2027.

Army Reserve ambassadors are civilian volunteers who promote awareness of the Army Reserve in their communities. They played a key role in this year's success by helping recruiters access local high schools and connect Soldiers with educators and civic leaders.

"In the past, many high schools didn't allow recruiters to come in," said Bob Perez, an Army Reserve ambassador representing Texas. "That glass ceiling has been broken."

More than 30 Soldiers from the 7450th Medical Operational Readiness Unit, based in Aurora, Colorado, served as the patient insertion team during Exercise Ultimate Caduceus 2026 at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.

U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) leads this annual patient movement exercise. This year it brought together about 400 military and civilian personnel at sites in Illinois, Michigan, Idaho and Kentucky. The team prepared manikins and live role-players with moulage to simulate injuries. Soldiers then loaded and offloaded patients on aircraft including the C-130J Super Hercules, UH-60L Black Hawk and C-12 Huron.

"We're the ones intricately moving those patients through those steps so that way they can get good, solid training and to help them have a successful exercise," said Maj. Jesse Back, officer in charge of the team.

Army Reserve nutrition care specialists put their skills to the test at the Philip A. Connelly competition at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.

The 311th Field Hospital team, 807th Theater Medical Command, was made up of 68M nutrition care specialists from the 256th, 311th, 325th and 921st field hospitals. These Soldiers attend the same training as 92G culinary specialists, then complete more training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, focused on nutrition. In a field hospital, they prepare patient meals, including specialized diets, while also supporting Soldiers' nutritional needs.

"A lot of people have misunderstandings of what our role is," said Sgt. Deltann Pape, a 68M assigned to the 256th Field Hospital.

Over two days, the team conducted briefings, convoy operations and equipment inspections, set up a containerized kitchen and food sanitation center, and executed the feeding mission. Pfc. Samantha Gray of the 421st Medical Detachment, the team's most junior Soldier, served as the person in charge of the kitchen.

Established in 1968, the Connelly Award is the Army's oldest logistics readiness award. Results will be announced after the competition cycle is complete.
