Traffic improvements coming

By Amy L. Bugala

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

As part of a road and traffic safety improvement project, Hargis Street on Clay Kaserne will no longer be a through street and is officially closed as of June 27.

Hargis Street, Wheaton Avenue, Heerstrasse, Lucas Street, and King Avenue, known locally as the

5-corner intersection, will undergo resurfacing and restriping over the next six months to improve the vehicle and pedestrian safety at the intersection according to Eddie Johnson, Directorate of Public Works director. Permanently closing Hargis to through traffic is just the first phase of project.

“Hargis is a narrow street and was never designed for two-way

traffic, or meant to be used as a main access road,” said Mike Jungeman, deputy director of emergency services, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden. “Closing Hargis where it intersects at Wheaton Avenue, near the health clinic, will improve traffic safety at that intersection before road work even begins.”

Christine Thomas pushes her final shopping cart across the line without a second to spare, after a frantic three-minute sweep of the Wiesbaden Commissary aisles, June 28.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

Who hasn’t spent a moment thinking about what they might grab during a timed race through a supermarket?

Christine Thomas has been pondering that question for weeks after being randomly chosen during the annual Volunteer Recognition luncheon for the Supermarket Sweep Event at the Wiesbaden Commissary June 28.

However, for this Army wife, traditional sweep strategies like grabbing big ticket items, non-perishables, meats, razors, and spices, were cast aside when PCS orders arrived for her husband, Sgt. Earl Thomas, 525th Military Working Dog Detachment.

“My strategy is to push it forward and help families here,” said Thomas whose household goods were shipping to Fort Stewart, Ga. the very next day, limiting what items she can take.

“I’m excited because of the opportunity to see how many babies I can diaper, or how many dogs can maybe get an extra bag of food.”

According to the rules of engagement, contestants have three minutes to race through the commissary without assistance, using five pre-positioned carts. No more than two of each product can be taken, and no rationed items like coffee or tobacco are allowed.

Thomas, who has worked as a Zumba instructor in the community for the last three years, was physically ready for the challenge.

“Everybody keeps telling me [I’m ready], but this is a sprint, it’s different,” Thomas said.

“I’m hoping to not pull a ‘hammy.’ ” Leo Dobash Wiesbaden Commissary store director, gave Thomas one last opportunity to peruse the aisles before the start.

“I left here last night thinking about these families I am helping,” she said, confirming the location of a few meat products and mentally visualizing her moves.

“Are you ready?” asked Dobash.

“I’ll say ‘yes’, but really it’s ‘no’,” Thomas replied.

Moments later she was flying through the aisles grabbing food and merchandise, according to plan, along with a few spontaneous “purchases.” She finished with two carts totaling $1,277.59 in merchandise, with quality beef, diapers, Italian oils and toiletries topping the list of items swept from the commissary shelves.

Thomas and her family may leave behind much of the merchandise in Wiesbaden, but will probably collect a few more friends before they depart.

This is the seventh annual shopping spree event hosted by the Wiesbaden Commissary and sponsored by S&K Sales and Acosta.

– Stay informed via official channels, news reports, etc., about current potential threats.

– Avoid large public gatherings such as demonstrations or rallies. If you encounter such gatherings, leave the area as quickly as possible.

– Keep a low profile and try to “blend in” to the local environment. In public, avoid wearing or carrying overtly American or military clothing or other items.

– Be unpredictable. Vary routines such as routes and departure times to and from work.

– When traveling, become familiar with local emergency numbers and places that could serve as refuge, such as a military installation, embassy or police station. Learn or carry a few key phrases in the local language, such as “I need a police officer” or “I need a doctor.”

– Instruct your family and associates not to provide strangers with information about you or your family.

– When leaving office or home, be sure to tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to get there.

Crime Prevention

Protect your home by taking the following measures: – When not present, lock doors and windows (close rolladens).

– Ensure proper exterior lighting (motion sensors).

Leave a light on inside your home.

– Do not open your home to solicitation attempts.

– Report any suspicious activity in the neighborhood.

At events

– Carry bags and purses with the flap or lock side closest to your body.

– Do not leave bags, purses or jackets unattended or draped over the back of a chair as a thief will take advantage of your inattention to strike.

– Large crowds bring out pickpockets. Avoid becoming a victim by taking a few precautions: Carry only the necessary cash, debit, or credit cards to accomplish your planned task and distribute your cash, cards and cell phone in different locations on your body to avoid losing everything.

Off-post uniform wear reminder

Wearing uniforms off-post is prohibited. There are only a few exceptions to the no uniform wear off-installation restriction. Uniform wear is not authorized while riding motorcycles/scooters, bicycles or while on foot, or any form of public transportation. Carrying backpacks or other items that convey Department of Defense affiliation is discouraged. DoD personnel in off-installation hotels may wear uniforms when departing or arriving in an enclosed vehicle, but uniform wear in public areas of hotels such as breakfast, dining rooms or fitness rooms is prohibited.

Wearing uniform while escorting children to/from or waiting at off-installation DoDEA bus stops is prohibited.

2nd Signal gets new leadership

By Erin Gavle

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

“It seems like I just stood up here and said ‘This is awesome.’” Col. Ed F. Buck Jr. said from the podium set up on the basketball court of the Wiesbaden Fitness Center. “And here I am, 24 months later, and I can still say ‘This.

Is. Awesome.’”

Buck is referring to his time leading the 2nd Signal Brigade, which came to an official end in a Change of Command ceremony on June 30th, when command of the brigade was assumed by Col. C. Jeff Worthington.

According to Buck, 2nd Signal, known as the “Brigade of Excellence,” is the best brigade in the U.S. Army to command. He joked that he was jealous that someone else was taking over, but told Worthington, “You are the right guy, with the right skill set at the right time,” and he looks forward to seeing what Worthington will do in the future.

In addition to major 2nd Signal accomplishments, like running a successful exercise with British allies and passing every major inspection, Buck

noted how invaluable the small things all signal brigades do are to the Army community. He explained that every VTC, call and email sent and received by soldiers was possible because in 2nd Signal, “We make it happen.”

According to Col. Jimmy L. Hall Jr., the 5th Signal Command Commander, and the ceremony’s Officiating Officer, the event was a tribute to Buck’s time well spent in command. “You’re leaving 2nd Signal better than you found it. You’ve been a [key player] in accomplishing General Hodges’ vision of a Strong Europe.”

To Worthington, Hall extended a warm greeting. “Welcome to our Signal family. We offer you our hands and our hearts,” he said. “I guarantee your role will not be insignificant.”

As the new commander, Worthington expressed his gratitude for Buck’s prior leadership. “Thank you for leaving the brigade in such good shape. I look forward to working with them in the next few years.”

He assured 2nd Signal that he was prepared to lead them in the right direction. “I am here to serve you, your families and those we support.”

Cloudy with a chance of construction

Tanks, Bradleys back in Europe

The mast and boom of the red crane that supported a construction project on Clay Kaserne was dismantled June 24. For the past two years, three construction cranes, each approximately 187 feet tall, dominated the skies over Wiesbaden, serving as a point of reference for miles in any direction. Their removal is a sign of progress for the European Infrastructure Consolidation project scheduled to be complete in 2017.

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division has brought Abrams Main Battle Tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles back to the Baltics, Central and Southeastern Europe as they take over the Operation Atlantic Resolve mission, July 1.

The 1st Brigade takes over the U.S. Army’s Operation Atlantic Resolve mission in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from Soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment while also assuming the mission in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

The brigade previously took over the Atlantic Resolve mission in Poland, May 1.

“Nothing demonstrates commitment like having U.S. Soldiers and heavy armored equipment on the ground train-

ing side-by-side with ourAllies,” said Col. Phil Brooks, the commander for 1st Brigade. “This is a clear demonstration of our continued commitment to the collective defense of Europe.”

As the regionally allocated force for U.S. European Command, 1st Brigade is responsible for serving as the European Rotational Force and the NATO Response Force.

“We look to build on the relationships developed during our previous rotations and continue to build interoperability with our allies and partners so that we can operate seamlessly as a combined force,” said Brooks.

Since April 2014, U.S. Army Europe has led the U.S. military’s land forces efforts by conducting multinational training and security cooperation activities with allies and partners in eastern Europe.

Rendering by Directorate of Public Works

The diagram shows Hargis Street as a dead end at Wheaton Avenue. Road work to improve the safety of the intersection will begin July 13 and continue through fall.

The five-corner intersection was identified as one area of concern during a transportation development study completed for Clay Kaserne in January of 2016. The study was contracted to validate the overall master plan designed to make Clay a more walkable community.

The study observed a couple of safety concerns at the intersection to include poor line of sight for drivers approaching the intersection traveling

in the direction of Newman Village, and general issues with pedestrian safety. Jungeman said these same concerns have been observed by both residents and garrison engineers.

The second phase includes road work to realign the intersection and improve crosswalks, lighting and landscaping to safely integrate pedestrians and bicycles. Phased road closures along Wheaton/King Avenues and Heerstrasse/Lucas Street

are required and scheduled to take place as follows: - July 13 to Aug. 28, Heerstrasse will be closed - Aug. 29 to Sept. 16, HeerStrasse and King Avenue will be closed - Sept. 19 to Oct. 16, Lucas Street will be closed Jungeman advises drivers to stay alert for detours and to use caution until familiar with new traffic patterns.

Wood shop to offer new monthly flat rate

Elizabeth Jacobson speaks about winning Military Youth of the Year June 23 at the Community Activity Center.

America each year. It recognizes a club member who served on a military installation, according to the Boys and Girls Club website.

“I consider myself lucky, because I’ve been a part of Boys and Girls Club-affiliated youth centers my whole life,” Jacobson said. “Who I am today stems from my time with the youth center.”

Jacobson faced off against Maya-Olivia Pugh, from the Asia region, for the overseas title, and was presented her award by Col. Todd J. Fish, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, and Ed Brown, Director of Organizational Development with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

“I’m inspired by the two young ladies I just heard speak,” Fish said. “You are our future. A lot of people will let opportunity pass them by, but I don’t get that feeling from you two.”

Former Military Youth of the Year Winners Natalia Lynch, herself a USAG Wiesbaden community member, and RianSimone Harris both emceed the event and spoke at the event about their time as Military Youth of the Years.

“This youth of the year journey, for me, has been such

a phenomenal ride,” Harris, the 2015 winner, said. “I have grown and gained so much confidence this year.”

Lynch emphasized why it’s important to hold the Military Youth of the Year competition and recognize military youth.

“Though they don’t wear a uniform, military youth serve too,” Lynch said.

She also had some advice for Jacobson, as she goes on into the competition.

“Your experiences will stay with you,” she said. “I am proud to be a military youth and a military alumni.”

Jacobson, who said it feels amazing to have won, hopes to use her win to help military youth everywhere.

“It’s great to be able to get so far in the journey and have my voice be heard,” Jacobson said.

“Now I can use that voice to advocate for our military youth.”

As to why she won, and why she’s doing well in the competition, she gives credit for that to others.

“I would attribute my success to my youth center,” Jacobson said. “Everything I do, I am supported by the youth center.”

There’s something extremely satisfying about creating an object that is used and treasured every day. That’s what patrons of Wiesbaden’s Arts and Crafts Wood Shop have been discovering for years.

“We’ve always maintained this is one of Wiesbaden’s best-kept secrets,” said John Gardner-Brown, Wood Shop manager. “We really want to inspire new people to come in.”

With that in mind, the Wood Shop will offer a new monthly flat rate starting July 15. It’ll only cost $30 a month, regardless of the number of times the patron comes in, Gardner-Brown said, as opposed to the new $10 single use rate.

“I’ve been running the shop for 12 years now, and hourly rates have stayed pretty much the same. To keep up with hourly expenditures we’ve adjusted the rates,” he said, adding that the new monthly flat rate gives patrons an affordable way to start and complete a project over the course of the month.

“This is a sanctuary where you can get away from your everyday job, learn a new craft and come away with a new skill. We’ve built everything in here over the years,” Gardner-Brown said, describing just a few of the objects — tables, desks, coin holders and even a model tank.

“In general it’s cheaper to build (or refurbish) your own furniture — and you get the satisfaction of making the item. Sometimes people come simply because they don’t have the machinery at home. We’ve had Soldiers making things for their barracks rooms — to better fit the needs of their room — and to save money.

“Patrons can also make an object that can be easily broken down and shipped when moving,” he said.

The shop manager added that plans are in the works to offer more classes in the future.

“We’re trying to find a group of people who all want to build the same thing — such as a coffee table. We really want to get people in

“The only limitation is someone’s imagination,” Gardner-Brown said. “The sky’s the limit.

“The ideal thing is to each people enough to build their own projects and then want to come back. When you make your own furniture it’s usually more durable.

“We’re giving people future life skills,” he added.

Besides offering one-on-one instruction and assistance, the Wood Shop also does custom work for patrons.

The Arts and Crafts Center’s Wood Shop is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Resources abound for learning German

By Emily Jennings

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Even though Germans are known for being able to speak English, learning to speak their language can greatly enhance your experience of living in Wiesbaden.

Sure, you can get by in Germany (and probably most places) without speaking the language, but for those who will to be here a while, being able to confidently order food, buy a bus ticket, read signs, ask for directions or just chat with the locals can make for a more enjoyable time.

So, what’s the best way to learn German?

There are many resources that can be useful even before moving to Germany, such as YouTube channels, mobile phone apps and software programs, all of which have the advantage of being available at the time or location of the user’s choice.

Once here, community members have access to U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden resources, such as the Wiesbaden Library, Army Community Service conversational classes and USO courses, as well as The University of Maryland— Europe.

The Wiesbaden Library offers language resources in a variety of formats. In an hour-

Off-post resources The following resources are available in the city of Wiesbaden. This is not a complete list.

Berlitz — Individual instruction, virtual instruction and immersion courses from beginner to very advanced (www.berlitz. de/en/german.html).

VHS — Volkshochschule Wiesbaden offers reading and writing, grammar, intensive and day and evening courses (www.vhs-wiesbaden.de/programm/sprachen/).

Language International — LI offers private lessons while staying in your teacher’s home (www.languageinternational.

com/german-courses-wiesbaden-64439).

Inlingua — Focus on pronunciation by developing German reading and writing skills. Inlingua offers day as well as evening courses (http://www. inlingua-wiesbaden.de/en/ language-courses/learninggerman.html).

Logos — Small learning groups, no obligation to stay for a long period of time. It is possible to start a course immediately by joining existing groups, free trial lessons, teaching materials provided (http://logossprachschule.de/?lang=en).

long program on Aug. 18 at 4:30 p.m., library staff will help people explore options for learning German with their audio CDs, books and online learning program as well as tips and tricks that will help people get immersed in the language, said JoAnn Ogreenc, supervisory librarian.

One thing she recommends is putting what you’ve learned into practical use, whether that be out at a restaurant or at the grocery store. “You have to go out and talk to people in German.”

If you can’t make it to the class, don’t worry. Once a user account is set up with the library, their language database, Mango, can be accessed at any time, from anywhere in the world. For more information, call (0611)143-548-9821 or visit the library in Building 1029 on Clay Kaserne.

A husband and wife volunteer team hosts free conversation-based classes at ACS. Registration is mandatory and the classes fill up quickly, said Gigi Wilson, relocation readiness program manager. Classes are held in building 7790, Room 22 in Hainerberg Housing. The next class with open slots will be from Oct. 4 to Nov. 1 on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The USO offers German classes for $120. No experience is necessary for Level I German.

This class gives students the basics for being in Germany, said Rose Torgerson, assistant to the director, USO Rhein Main Area. She added that the course instructor is an invaluable resource about life here.

“The educational experience goes much further than the language; it really becomes an education about the nuances of culture in Germany, our home away from home.”

Learning those cultural differences, on top of being able to communicate really helps people adjust better to life here and enjoy their time, she said. “Living in another

country, even one as friendly to Americans as Germany is, is a huge change. German language classes, I believe, really help instill that confidence to embrace living here. It’s such a unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience and learning even a little German helps people make the most of it.”

Those interested can register at the Clay Kaserne or main Exchange USO locations or call (0611) 7120-2890 for more information.

The University of Maryland-Europe, located in Bldg.

1023 East, Room 12 on Clay Kaserne offers Elementary German I and II beginning in August. For more information, visit their office or call (0611)143-548-1316.

Army Surgeon General visits Clay Kaserne

By Sgt. Daniel Cole

U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs

U.S. Army Europe Headquarters based on Clay Kaserne welcomed Lt. Gen. Nadja West, Army Surgeon General, June 23, as a part of her visit to select installations in the region.

“This has been a great visit,” said West. “The mission that we have here for Army medicine in Europe is very unique and very challenging but the team here is up for the task. I am very proud of what they do for our Army here in Europe and for our Army in general.”

West, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, is the first female to earn the rank of lieutenant general from West Point.

Additionally, she is the first black female lieutenant general.

While she has undoubtedly set the bar high, it was not above her to spend time at Clay Kaserne’s health clinic, meeting with the Soldiers and civilians working behind the scenes to ensure every patient was cared for with the utmost attention.

One of these Soldiers is Spc. Robert Matson, a health care specialist, who not only met West but had the opportunity to raise his right hand and repeat the Oath of Enlistment led by the general.

West will continue her tour in Europe meeting with other health commands in the area and building relationships with those on her Army medical team.

Berlin – Built for efficiency, not affection

By Paul Hughes AFN Wiesbaden

When I think back to a visit to Prague, my memory gives me an overwhelming sense that I had seen something incredible — the beauty, history and architecture.

When I think back to Paris, my memory serves up a feeling of grace, elegance and cultured romanticism. When I think back to London I remember the ceremony, tradition and hustle and bustle. When I think back to Berlin, I think of, well, actually, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Arriving on a wet Friday at the incredibly modern and shiny “Hauptbahnhof” (Main Train Station), everything was just how it should be albeit with a curious sterility. There are trains, shops and many tourists as you would expect, but when you step off the train at Milano Centrale, London Paddington, or Paris Gare du Nord, your first breath fills you with an immediate sense of the city.

Millions of people have walked before you through these buildings that were built to be noticed. Train stations are the historic gateways into cities and were designed to be grand and impressive. In Berlin, I got a sense that this was distinctly German - in that it was built for efficiency, not necessarily for affection.

Berlin is a young city, even younger when you think that it has only been unified since 1990. In fact, if I am honest, I do not believe that I ever truly understood the magnitude of the Berlin Wall and its impact on the city until I visited what is left of it. Visiting the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Str., you will read

Idstein Jazz Festival

Listen to more than 30 bands, playing on six stages in Idstein’s picturesque old town July 8 to 10. Exhibitions, attractions for kids, information and sale stands as well as a rich variety of food make the Idstein Jazz Festival a great experience for young and old.

Heidelberg castle lighting

Don’t miss the unforgettable Heildeberg Schlossbeleuchtung or castle lighting and fireworks display July 9.

This event is held three times every summer in memory of the three times the castle went up in flames (1689, 1693 and 1764). After the castle “burning” enjoy a 15-minute fireworks display launched from the Old Bridge.

stories about “defectors, escapers, spies and snipers” that bring to life what is now unthinkable in a modern, unified Europe.

Much of the city was obviously destroyed in WWII, so aside from a visit to the Berlin Wall, touristic buildings of historic importance are harder to come by. When the city was rebuilt, it was done so without much affection towards its past. You will of course on any visit take time out to see the Reichstag, where the German Parliament sits, then there’s the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column, but then what?

I’m sure many Berliners will feel justified in screaming at their computers citing buildings of note I have failed to mention, but from my point of view, had I gone to Berlin just to see the sites then I would have left disappointed. I suggest you have to dig deeper. For me Berlin needed to be felt, in order to really experience it. Luckily for me, we happened to discover the Mauerpark.

Taken from the Mauerpark website (www.mauerpark.info) “Situated in what was once the militarized “death strip” of the Berlin Wall (or Mauer) that divided East and West, Mauerpark is now a social, cultural, and artistic center of the city.”

Visiting Mauerpark on a Sunday is like visiting a hipster’s paradise. Not only do you have the park, but also a “Flohmarkt” (Flea Market) and Hundreds of stalls selling clothes, music and treasures from all over the world. Catering stands cook up delicacies from all cultures such as, Japanese fish, Mexican Burritos, Turkish Falafel, and French Crepes,

Street entertainers perform a routine at an amphitheater in Berlin. something for every taste. Once you have tired of this (or you run out of Euro) you can visit the Mauerpark proper.

Stepping through into the park, I first noticed a large gaggle of people gathered around a three-piece band. They were playing funky rock with electric instruments and amplifiers, hooked up to an old car battery. On the other side of the park stood an amphitheater built into the hillside, where a large audience was watching a street performer. Between here and the amphitheater, the park was littered with small groups of people dancing to music, cooking out, and soaking up the friendly atmosphere that’s laid on by the cosmopolitan people of the city.

This was the Berlin I had heard about, but in the first two days of my visit had just not discovered.

catch the train home, I think I understood Berlin for the first time. It’s about easygoingness, acceptance of individuality, and embracing it. Just in this one park, it was all being physically demonstrated through art and culture by the people.

My memory of that day, of all those people in the park is enough to make me feel like I belonged there. It is no longer a memory of a disappointing visual tour around Berlin; now it is a memory about the excitement, curiosity and envy that others get to permanently live amongst it.

Berlin may have been built for efficiency. But affection for it, has been built by the people.

Army cyber events attract new technologies

By Claire Heininger U.S. Army

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Cyber Blitz. Cyber Quest. Cyber Innovation Challenge.

Feeling the whiplash? Good — then hackers and attackers will, too.

Seeking to attract cutting-edge technologies from the public and private sectors as it equips a growing cyber force, the Army has established a series of events to quickly evaluate, integrate — and in some cases, purchase — cyber capabilities. As part of the Army’s broader cyber equipping strategy, the distinct but linked events are fueling the early experimentation that leads to more agile and informed procurement.

“We have to understand what is already out there,” said Portia Crowe, director of cyber operations at the Army Program Executive Office for Command, Control and CommunicationsTactical. “There’s a lot of capability that industry has, and it may not be specific to the Army, but we can tweak it and adapt it to what we really need it to be.

So every cyber experiment we do puts us leaps and bounds ahead of where we would be if we had to develop these capabilities on our own.”

Set in field and laboratory environments, the three experiments share the goals of assessing prototypes, validating concepts and informing future requirements for capabilities that will allow commanders and Soldiers to understand, detect and counter cyber threats.

Where they differ is in the operational context, specific focus areas and maturity levels of the technologies under evaluation, as well as the immediate outcomes for industry and government

participants. Together, they form a broad net that allows the Army to put cyber capabilities under the microscope and in the hands of Soldiers to influence integrated acquisition and technology approaches.

“Cyber Warfare is a revolution in military affairs,” said Col. Joseph Dupont, trail boss for the Army Cyber Acquisition Task Force. “With that, many are working hard to enable the Army to conduct operations in cyberspace. Cyber Blitz, Cyber Quest and Cyber Innovation Challenge are not competing events.

They complement each other through a partnership to inform decisions and give program managers a venue to quickly assess the operational readiness of new capabilities.”

Some of the events are: • Cyber Blitz, which held its inaugural event in April at Fort Dix, New

Georgia, is executed by the Army’s training and doctrine community, specifically the Cyber Center of Excellence (CoE).

Cyber Quest aims to provide a rigorous, integrated operational setting — with a near-peer threat that reaches from the brigade to the squad level — in order to evaluate technology solutions that have achieved TRL 6/7 status.

Driven by the Army’s priority cyber requirements, Cyber Quest 2016 will focus on integrating situational understanding tools for cyber and electronic warfare, as well as demonstrating tactical radios as electronic warfare solutions at the tactical edge. Next year’s Cyber Quest 2017 will address other capability areas including forensics and malware detection, insider threat detection, defensive cyber operations mission planning and various tactical electronic warfare sensors.

Jersey, is executed by the Army science and technology community, specifically the Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate. Combining CERDEC’s integrated modeling and simulation environment with its lab and field-based risk reduction processes, Cyber Blitz looked to address how the Army is adapting the physical construct of the main command post and interactions between different staff functions to execute cyber and electromagnetic activities. Future Cyber Blitz events, taking place twice a year, will expand to include pre-Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 materiel solutions focused on broad capability gaps affecting cyber and electromagnetic operations at the tactical level.

ning of the training and hope you feel enthusiasm, vitality of spirit and body, rewarding professional development and mutual support with reliable new comrades in arms,” he said.

During the course of the two-week exercise the partner nations will conduct a brigadelevel command post exercise integrated with both situational and field training exercises. All of this is aimed at enhancing joint combined interoperability

among Ukraine, U.S., allied and partner nations.

“Your training efforts over the next two weeks contribute to the regional security of Europe, expand mutual cooperation, and assist Ukraine in furthering their Defense Reform and Modernization efforts,” said U.S. Army Col. Nick Ducich, Co-director of the exercise and commander of JMTG-U speaking to the assembled participants.

The exercise includes nearly

2,000 personnel from Ukraine, the United States, Bulgaria, Canada, Georgia, Great Britain, Moldova, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden and Turkey.

“Today’s presence here of such a powerful cohort of our partners and comrades in arms demonstrates the broad international support for the struggle of the Ukrainian nation for sovereignty and territorial integrity as a democratic European state,” said Moskalyov.

Jobs available in Bulgaria, Romania Positions are now open to IMCOM-E employees only

By Michael Formica Director of IMCOM-Europe

Team, We have a new mission inside of Europe.

Camp Mihail Kogalniceanu, Romania, and Novo Selo Training Area, Bulgaria, are forward operating sites that support EUCOM’s mission in East Europe.

Both are contingency bases, but unlike other places around the world, they are not located in a hostile fire or hazardous duty location. This is a great opportunity for our Army professionals to gain experience in a contingency base environment without some of the hazards that many of you have encountered in places like Afghanistan or Iraq.

IMCOM-Europe is assuming responsibility for base operations at Camp MK and Novo Selo with IMCOM personnel to bringing expertise and experience to these contingency bases. We are offering an opportunity for our IMCOM-Europe employees to volunteer for this exciting new mission, while living in Romania and Bulgaria.

If interested, please read this entire letter, which explains the pros and cons (there are some of each). If you are interested and qualify for any of the positions listed at the end, send your resume to Damon.K.Wilford.civ@ mail.mil of USAG Ansbach S1.

He will screen and send resumes to CPAC for their concurrence on who meets the criteria to be selected.

Employees must be qualified for the position in Romania or Bulgaria just as if the announcements were for openings at U.S. military installations in Germany, Belgium or Italy.

Like any Department of the Army civilian job announcement, USAG Ansbach will convene a panel to screen and score qualified resumes. From there, officials will interview applicants just like we would for any other position.

The big difference and a big plus for us here: because this process is limited to IMCOMEurope employees initially, the selection process will be a by-name request. Accordingly, employees must be eligible to be placed noncompetitively to the grade of the position for which the application is submitted.

If we cannot fill these positions inside of IMCOMEurope, then any slot not filled will be announced on USAJOBS. We may not offer an Overseas Tour Extension (OTEX) and bonuses once we go to USAJOBS. That is why this is an early opportunity for you to support a great mission.

There are some rules we have to follow concerning promotions for those of you currently serving in a position at a lower grade than the grade of the vacancy. Indicate in your resume why you are eligible or why you meet the requirements for the promotion. CPAC and USAG Ansbach will determine this against OPM qualification standards. They will review your resume and eligibility to make a determination.

If you do not meet the requirements, you can make a decision if you want move forward or not. Like any job, we have to meet EEO and OPM rules. This is a great opportunity; but we have to follow the right rules.

As mentioned, there are some pros and cons, including: a. This is an eight-hour/40hour work week. Unlike other contingency bases, there is an opportunity to serve without necessarily working a 72-hour work week. This is not to say there will not be times or days where the unit has to surge to meet support requirements.

However, unlike other places our goal here is to have a routine work week. We will assign all volunteers under Temporary Change of Station (TCS) status for 18-24 months while stationed in Romania or Bulgaria. b. Everyone needs to know that folks currently receiving a living quarters allowance (LQA) will have to switch their LQA from one country to another. You will lose your LQAfor Germany,

Italy or Belgium; however, LQA is offered for both Romania and Bulgaria. Families that continue to reside in Germany, Italy or Belgium will retain Individual Logistics Support (ILS) since this is a temporary assignment.

Like all job announcements, CPAC makes the LQA qualification determination. LQA for Romania and Bulgaria is less than Germany for example; however, the cost of living is cheaper in these countries compared to Germany. Plus, with ILS, the offset is not as bad as some think. c. Employees who need an OTEX to remain in Europe will have an opportunity to receive a two-year extension if they are hired for a position in Romania or Bulgaria. d. Some of our volunteers may receive Involuntary Separate Maintenance Allowance (SMA). Like LQA, CPAC will apply OPM rules to make SMA qualification determination. e. Employees will also receive Post Hardship Differential Allowance (PHDA). f. Employees may receive Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). g. As mentioned, the work week is expected to be a regular 40 hours.

by your supervisor. Like our jobs in Germany, for example, anything over 40 hours will be compensated through overtime or compensatory time. h. Because Romania and Bulgaria are not hostile fire zones, employees will not receive special R&R leave as they do in Iraq.

However, they may take leave as desired. Although military block leave is not appropriate for civilian employees, supervisors should use a liberal-leave policy for returning civilian employees who wish to take personal time off when consistent with mission needs. i. Shipment of a POV at government expense is not authorized. However, employees may drive their private vehicle to their duty location and file for a reconstructed rate of reimbursement. j. Employees will be authorized to ship 600 lbs. of unaccompanied baggage. k. There are always some cons, so I want to be fully transparent with everyone.

Those that volunteer to work in Romania or Bulgaria will be responsible for finding their own rental accommodation because there is no Garrison Housing Office like there is at our installations in Italy, Germany or Belgium. You will

need to find an apartment or house that has appliances you may need. With that said, we are told there are plenty of furnished rentals available. There are already Soldiers and DoD Civilians living off post today in cities surrounding Camp MK and Novo Selo who can provide informal help. Government onpost training barracks may be used if available. l. A real “con” is that any spouse — who is employed under spouse hire provisions — of an employee hired for these announcements will lose their position. Spouses who work for IMCOM may request an Exception to Policy (ETP) from the Region Director for one year.

Thanks for all that you do every day for our Soldier, Civilians, and their Families. I greatly appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this opportunity. Again if you are interested and qualify for any of the attached 49 positions, send your resume to the USAG Ansbach S1, Damon.K.Wilford. civ@mail.mil.

By Cpt. Andreia Williamson Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic

Ahhh, its summertime! It is the time when millions of people take part in enjoying outdoor activities with family and friends. It is the time when anything from hiking, biking, swimming, outdoor sports, or just leisurely relaxing in a park is most enjoyable. However, too much sun exposure without protection can lead to adverse health effects, ranging from a painful sunburn to more serious skin conditions such as cancer.

So what do we do? Stay indoors and miss all the fun? Of course not!

Please, feel free to enjoy the outdoors and explore any activities that you love to do, but be smart and protect yourself from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is estimated that 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers and 65 percent melanoma skin cancers are associated with UV exposure from the sun.

What is UV radiation, and how does it affect my skin? There are two types of UV radiation (a known carcinogen) that you should be aware of. UVA and UVB have both been linked to skin cancer, premature aging and cataracts (a condition that damages eyesight). UVA rays are not absorbed by the ozone layer and penetrate deeply into the skin contributing to 90 percent of skin changes especially premature aging. UVB rays are extremely harmful rays that are partially absorbed by the ozone layer. UVB rays mostly affect the surface of the skin and are the primary cause of sunburn.

Everybody regardless of race and ethnicity are subject to the potentially harmful effects of the sun. However those with fairer skin tones tend to burn

more rapidly and severely than those with darker skin. Therefore everyone should take precautions and protect themselves from harmful exposure to UV radiation. The use of sunscreen is one way to help protect your skin.

How sunscreen works. Most sun protection products work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering sunlight. They contain chemicals that interact with the skin to protect it from UV rays. The FDA requires that all sunscreens contain a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) label. The SPF reveals the relative amount of sunburn protection that a sunscreen can provide an average user when used correctly. It is important to know that all products do not have the same ingredients; if your skin reacts badly to one product,

try another one or call a doctor. Be sure to read the labels. You want to use a sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays known as a broad spectrum sunscreen.

You should use a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and apply at least 20 minutes before you go outside, even on slightly cloudy or cool days. Don’t forget to put a thick layer on all parts of exposed skin. Get help for hard-to-reach places like your back.

And remember, sunscreen works best when combined with other options to prevent UV damage.

Reapplication. Sunscreen wears off and should be reapplied every 2 hours.

Also reapply after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.

Expiration date. Check the sunscreen’s expiration date. Sunscreen without an expiration date has a shelf life of no more than three years, but its shelf life is shorter if it has been exposed to high temperatures.

Cosmetics. Some makeup and lip balms contain some of the same chemicals used in sunscreens. If they do not have at least SPF 15, don’t use them by themselves.

What about protecting my children? It is important to protect children and babies from UV exposure and begin to teach them sun safety practices at an early age. Sunscreen should be applied in the same manner as an adult, which is to apply at least 20 minutes prior to going outdoors and reapplying after 2 hours of sun exposure, swimming, sweating or toweling off. Blistering sunburns during childhood significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer later in life.

Is sunscreen guaranteed to prevent me from getting skin cancer? The short answer to this question is NO. Using sunscreen does not mean it is safe to spend more time in the sun, especially when the UV Index is high. Although a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher offers protection from sunburn, it does not block all of the sun’s damaging rays So what else can I do to protect myself and my children from UV exposure? In addition to applying sunscreen, further protection can be obtained by seeking shade, minimizing peak hours of sun exposure, and by wearing protective clothing including a hat.

Prevent food poisoning while barbecuing

By Health.mil FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The season for barbeques, cook-outs and picnics has officially started.

These fun, summer gettogethers are a wonderful opportunity to spend time and relax with family and friends.

They’re also a time to be wary and take the appropriate precautions to avoid foodborne illness, commonly referred to as food poisoning.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every six

Page 14

Americans gets sick from consuming contaminated foods or beverages each year. While foodborne illness is a common public health problem, it is also an easily preventable one.

“Everyone always warns you to watch out for the potato salad, but there’s a lot more to it than that,” said Terresio Pope, a community health nurse at Womack Army Medical Center’s Epidemiology and Disease Control Clinic.

She said that the four things to remember in order to help prevent food poisoning are:

cook, clean, chill and separate.

When it comes to cooking, temperature is the key. The CDC cautions that is important to cook food to the right temperature and that the only way to know for sure is to use a food thermometer. Judging when food is “done” simply by its color or texture is not always accurate and unsafe.

Clean hands and counters can help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.

“The rules are the same for picnics and barbecues as they are throughout your daily

life,” said Hannah Smith, also a community health nurse at the EDC Clinic. “Wash your hands – before you eat and before you prepare food.”

Properly chilling food is important, too. She said that foods shouldn’t sit out longer than one hour.

The other thing to avoid is cross-contaminating raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs with ready-to-eat foods.

Smith said that food poisoning is more serious than most people may think.

“Food poisoning is often

thought of as an inconvenience that will just cause digestive issues for a couple of days,” she said. “While that’s sometimes the case, it can often be more serious than that. Some foodborne illness can lead to long-term health conditions and even death.”

Symptoms of most foodborne illnesses include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.

If you suspect you may have food poisoning, contact the nurse advice line at 800-TRICARE (874-2273), option 1.

Celebrating 5 days o

Festgoers enjoy rides, live music

By Emily Jennings

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

Local residents and community leaders from both countries came together for five days of camaraderie and celebration for U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s third annual GermanAmerican Friendship Festival, which began June 30 and culminated in a fireworks display July Fourth in celebration of Independence Day. Col. Todd J. Fish, garrison commander, thanked the city of Wiesbaden, the Polizei and everyone else who supported the festival and helped make it a safe and successful event.

“Thank you for helping us celebrate our country’s birthday this year,” he said. “The German-American Friendship Festival is our opportunity to open our doors and offer some hospitality to our German neighbors and friends.

neighbors. This fest helps us celebrate a friendship that has grown over many decades, and we hope will continue well into the future.”

Sven Gerich, lord mayor of Wiesbaden, expressed his delight with the revival of the fest.

“This is a wonderful tradition. I am very happy that we revived this fest again.”

Joe Harris, FMWR chief of special events, who helped organize the festival, said the event is a little bit different from year to year, and that’s no accident.

“Our goal was in the beginning to keep it always changing and always interesting,” he said.

He also noted the family-friendly atmosphere and the fact that this year, they had a handicap accessible gondola on the ferris wheel as well as handicap accessible restrooms.

The intent, he said, is that people enjoy themselves in a safe setting and have the chance to converse with their neighbors.

“It’s about meeting new friends and having a great time.”
