RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD PUBLIC NOTICE

Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield is conducting a community interest survey to determine if a Restoration Advisory Board for the 3rd Infantry Division, would be supported by the local communities.

A Restoration Advisory Board is a committee made up of interested and concerned community members who reflect the diverse interests of the local community as well as representatives of local, state, and federal agencies. The RAB would be designed to serve as a focal point for the exchange of information between FSGA-HAAF and the community regarding those restoration activities presently underway as well as those planned for future environmental studies and remediation (cleanup) efforts.

If local communities show sufficient interest, FSGA-HAAF would petition the local communities for RAB members who would be required to serve a one-year, voluntary term. These members would be required to attend regular meetings and training on the Restoration Program as well as review, evaluate, and comment on plans relating to the ongoing environmental studies/restoration activities at FSGA-HAAF.

If you are interested in completing a community interest survey, have questions about RABs, or need more information concerning environmental investigations and cleanup activities at FSGA-HAAF, please contact Ms. Tavy Wade, RCRA/Remediation Section Supervisor at tavy.j.wade.civ@army.mil via e-mail, or by mail at Environmental Prevention and Compliance Branch / DPW, 1550 Veterans Parkway, Building 1137, Fort Stewart, GA 31314-4927.

CIF OPERATIONS UPDATE: SEAM OVERVIEW

SEAM (Soldier Equipment Asset Management) is the U.S. Army's modern digital platform designed to streamline how soldiers manage their gear, replacing the manual, paper-heavy CIF process. It acts as a centralized app for issuing, returning, and tracking individual equipment (OCIE), allowing soldiers to validate records and handle gear issues instantly. It simplifies how soldiers order, return, and swap out gear, making it a "fast and easy" process compared to previous systems. Soldiers can make appointments directly from the SEAM portal. There is no need for a Soldier to come to CIF until they have a confirmed appointment.

Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield CIF local SEAM Information Page: Supply SGTs and S4s are invited to visit SEAM | 3ID & Tenant Units CIF SEAM (Questions & Answers) | Microsoft Teams for questions about SEAM and FLIPLs/ Statement of Charges (SOC).

FLIPL Process: Units must initiate FLIPL through the Army eFLIPL tracking system and obtain an eFLIPL inquiry number. Once you receive the eFLIPL Inquiry Number, please upload the eFLIPL packet in SEAM.

Statement of Charges (SOC) Process: Units must initiate SOC by populating DA Form 7923 and obtain SM/CDR signatures, then upload the DA Form 7923 into SEAM to receive a CIF document number. The CIF will update the DA Form 7923 with the document number. The SM will take the form to Finance and uploads the signed Finance copy into SEAM. The CIF will remove the item off the SM clothing record.

FOR EVERYONE

RANITIDINE (ZANTAC) RECALL:

The FDA has announced a recall of all over-the-counter and prescription ranitidine and Zantac due to risk of contamination with NDMA, a possible human carcinogen. If you are taking these medications the FDA recommends

disposing of them properly and not buying more; for those who wish to continue treating their condition, they should consider using other approved OTC products. Patients taking prescription ranitidine should speak with their health care professional about other treatment options before stopping the medicine, as there are multiple drugs approved for the same or similar uses. To date, the FDA's testing has not found NDMA in famotidine (Pepcid), cimetidine (Tagamet), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid) or omeprazole (Prilosec). For more information, visit https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-requests-removal-all-ranitidine-products-zantac-market.

FOR EVERYONE

ATTENTION: As we enter the political campaign season, our leadership at the highest levels remind us of DoD's long standing tradition to remain apolitical. For example, Soldiers and civilians may not engage in political activity while on duty (to include telework duty), in a Federal building, or while using government equipment. Political activity includes all political statements, whether verbal, via email, social media, or tweet. Active duty Soldiers are further prohibited from partisan political activity, such as wearing a uniform at a political rally or other activities that could associate DoD with a partisan political activity. While these employees may "follow" "friend" or "like" a political party or candidate running for partisan office, they may not post links to, "share" or "re-tweet" comments or tweets from the Facebook page or twitter account of a political party or candidate running for partisan office. All personnel will review the attached memorandum from the Under Secretaryof the Army, along with enclosures 2-4. These documents provide additional important details and guidance regarding permissible and impermissible political activities. Links below
