Oman Army Parachute Regiment visits CASCOM
“The Royal Army of Oman Parachute Regiment has acquired progressively newer models of TOW (tube‑launched, optically‑tracked, wire‑guided) and Javelin missile systems over the last two decades without updating their doctrine and organizational training methods to align with their new materiel systems,” said Maj. Albert Oh, chief of Army, Navy and Special Operations Programs, United States Embassy – Muscat, Oman.
The first stop of the tour was a CASCOM overview brief with Chief Warrant Officer Nicholas Laferte, CASCOM command chief warrant officer, which addressed how CASCOM/SCoE manages DOTMLPF-P (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy) integration through the proponency and training organizations.
“The Sustainment Center of Excellence is the U.S. Army’s premier training facility for logisticians operating at every echelon,” said Oh. “By providing hands-on briefs and demonstrations to our international partners, we not only highlight our sharpest NCOs, warrant officers, officers, and civilians who have been entrusted to build the Army of 2030.
“As part of a holistic approach to modernizing training for the Royal Army of Oman Parachute Regiment,” said Oh.
The Logistics School Commandant, Col. Dan Horn, hosted the Omanis to discuss officer training and professional military education integration. The U.S. Army Logistics School welcomed the first Omani Army officer to attend the Logistics Captains Career Course in May 1994. Next year, seven Omani military members are scheduled to attend courses at LGS.
The final stop of the visit was the U.S. Army Quartermaster School Aerial Delivery and Field Services Department to discuss parachute rigger training.
“These international visits are so important because we build strength and relationships by sharing our practices,” said Master Sgt. Jerica Devaul, ADFSD. “It just makes it better and more cohesive for us to work together as allies.”
The Royal Army of Oman Parachute Regiment was founded in 1976, following the end of the Dhofar Rebellion. They share close historical ties with the British Army Parachute Regiment, who fought alongside Oman to quell the uprising from the south.
Oman and the U.S. first established diplomatic ties in 1833, with the signing of a bilateral Treaty of Amity and Commerce. Oman became the first nation on the Arabian Peninsula to officially recognize the U.S., and in 1840, sent the first Arab diplomat to be officially accredited to the United States.
