***image1***People are very important to the 415th Base Support Battalion’s Headquarters, Headquarters Detachment Commander Capt. Carol A. Kotlowski.
“My leadership philosophy is taking care of our Soldiers, civilian work force and family members by providing good, quality customer service and supporting community services throughout the KMC,” said Captain Kotlowski, who is responsible for 34 Soldiers.
In addition, the detachment supports various civilian directorate agencies and families while maintaining Soldier readiness and retention.
Since taking command in January, Captain Kotlowski has taken several steps to enhance esprit de corps and teamwork between the 415th BSB civilians and Soldiers.
She introduced a monthly newsletter keeping all of the 415th BSB informed on what the detachment is doing. There is an open invitation for all the 415th BSB to participate in the detachment’s training.
She also spearheaded a quarterly Soldier and Civilian Appreciation Day.
“It’s a day to recognize the great contributions of our entire work force,” said Captain Kotlowski, a graduate from Eastern New Mexico University with a Bachelor of Science degree, double-majoring in mass communications and religion theology in May 1997. “Don’t get me wrong, we recognize our people everyday, but this is a time we recognize them with a luncheon and an awards presentation in front of their peers to thank them for the hard work they do daily throughout the BSB.”
Captain Kotlowski was commissioned into the Army’s Chemical Corps through ROTC in 1997. She completed her master’s degree in environmental management from Webster University, St. Louis, Mo., in 2001. She is currently working toward her doctorate in organizational leadership with the University of Oklahoma.
So far in her career, she has served in a variety of staff assignments throughout Germany.
First, she was a battalion chemical officer with the 2-1 Aviation Regiment in Katterbach. She later moved on to be the brigade chemical officer with the 4th Aviation Brigade also in Katterbach.
She was deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom from March 9 to Aug. 3, 2003, while assigned to the 18th Military Police Brigade in Mannheim. In fact, she was a part of the American force that liberated Baghdad.
