The Expeditionary Memorial Rifle Stand (pictured here) was developed by the Expeditionary Maneuver Support Directorate, or EMSD, at the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center, or CCDC SC. EMSD's Fabrication Team worked with Chaplain Maj. Andrew Shriver, the Chaplain Corps Integrator, to develop the item to meet the memorial needs of modern Soldiers. The lightweight, easy-to-move Expeditionary Memorial Rifle Stand consists of a highly functional and efficiently designed lightweight metal rod and plate to which Soldiers can add a helmet, dog tags, a pair of boots and a rifle (items that they already have). Since the Soldiers can easily take the memorial stand with them when they move, it leaves no footprint. The stand gives Soldiers a concrete way to take the time to grieve, which can be key to healing and resiliency. (Photo Credit: Mr. Reese Brown (Ft.
