FH welcomes new commander Story and photos by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer
Fort Huachuca expressed a warm welcome to Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, incoming commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, April 19 during the assumption of command ceremony on Brown Parade Field. In January Maj. Gen. Gregg Potter relinquished command of USAICoE and FH to begin his next assignment as Ashley’s replacement, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence, International Security Assistance Force and Director of Intelligence in Afghanistan. “Having already met much of the Intel and Fort Huachuca team since I arrived, it’s obvious that Gregg [Potter] built a great team of teams ... I look forward to continuing Gregg’s work as we transition into the future,” Ashley said as he spoke to the guests. Ashley is a career Army military intelligence of-

David Perkins, commanding general, U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, said, “One of the traps that new commanders fall into is they get consumed with what it is they are supposed to do. So I advise them with ‘what you need to focus on is not what you do, but what you are for, because once you understand what you are for, then it becomes clear what you are to do.’” He went on to state that the Ashley’s were chosen to serve Fort Huachuca to make a positive difference in the community, on the post, as a senior commander, and provide support and guidance for the Soldiers, the Families, the spouses and their support structures. “Welcome to the greatest job in the Army and that is of commander and command team,” Perkins said. “I have no doubt that you absolutely know what you are for because you have done it since the

It’s our job to keep terrorists guessing By Staff Sgt. Julie Weckerlein, USAF Special to American Forces Press Service
AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy – Sitting one row behind me next to the window, she blended in with the other travelers, casually dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt layered under a pink shortsleeved shirt. We, and about 150 other airline passengers, were leaving Detroit for a long fight to Amsterdam Aug. 20. She carried a book, “My Greatest Mistake,” and a diamond stud shimmered from the top of her left earlobe. She was obviously a 20-something-yearold American with a round face and long Californiablond hair, but I would have never guessed she was military. As it turned out, I didn’t need to guess. Within minutes after takeoff, she was telling her neighbor, a blond man who spoke with a heavy accent, all about her destination – Aviano Air Base, Italy. Granted, her neighbor had asked where she was going. But instead of giving a safe, generic answer, she went into a great detail about her job, about her enlistment, about the base and local villages. She shared her feelings of being stationed overseas. The man seemed impressed by her excitement. I was convinced she was coming from tech school, especially when I later saw her carry-on – it
was a dark-blue bag with “United States Air Force” printed neatly in bold, gold letters on the top. But, then again, she knew a lot about the Aviano area and the base; maybe she had an awesome sponsor. She must be new, I thought. Yet, I later saw on her wrist an Italian charm bracelet, exactly the kind they sell at the Aviano base exchange. I knew then that this girl was active duty with some time spent at Aviano. I doubt she ever had heard the name of Robert Dean Stethem, but she could learn from the incident to which his name is forever tied. Terrorists hijacked TWA Flight 847 as it left Athens, Greece, for Rome June 14, 1985. Onboard was Petty Officer Stethem, known as Robbie to his friends. He was a 23-year-old U.S. Navy underwater construction diver returning from a diving school in Greece. He sat in the window seat in the last row on the left side of the plane, next to Clinton Suggs, one of his diving buddies. A few minutes after takeoff, terrorists ran down the aisles, brandishing weapons and demanding all passports and identification. Unfortunately, Robbie and Suggs had only their military identification cards. According to court documents, Robbie hesitated handing it over, but the terrorists demanded the cards. Robbie, Clinton and a few other military
members were then rounded up and taken to first class. What followed was a 15-hour ordeal as the airliner was flown to Beirut, Lebanon, then to Algiers, Algeria, then back to Beirut. During this time, Robbie was brutally tortured with pistols and an armrest. Kenneth Bowen, another diver held captive, later testified that Robbie received most of the torture. Things took a turn for the worse during the second stop in Beirut. When terrorists were unable to negotiate for a refueling truck, they dragged Robbie to the front of the plane and shot him. The terrorists then opened the door of the plane, and as media cameras focused on the open door, they shot Robbie again and dumped his body on the tarmac. Robbie remained alive for a few minutes after being shot and thrown, and then died from his wounds. The image of the terrorists standing at the open door, with Robbie’s blood smeared on the outside of the plane was published repeatedly on television and in newspapers. It became a symbol of the turbulent political relations between America and the Middle East during the 1980s. The terrorists were from the Middle East, and one of the many reasons they targeted Robbie was because he was U.S. military. Though this specific incident happened nearly See TERRORISTS, page 8A

Volunteers get well-deserved recognition Story and photos by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer
The Fort Huachuca Volunteer Recognition Ceremony and Luncheon was held Wednesday at the Thunder Mountain Activity Centre to honor the winning volunteers of the year. Each year, hours are tracked to ensure that work credit experience is given for those that volunteer. According to Jennifer Rickert, volunteer program manager, Fort Huachuca’s Army Volunteer Corps saved the garrison over $1 million because of volunteer time. The average savings was $22.14 per volunteer hour. “Volunteers exemplify the quintessential American idea that we can change things, make them better, and solve problems when we work together. You all epitomize this selfless service and for that I thank you,” said Col. Dan McFarland, Fort Huachuca garrison commander. This year’s Youth Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Meade Thorton. She dedicated over 200 hours of time to Army Community Services. The Civilian Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Felicia Tucker. Tucker provided over 650 volunteer hours to Army Community Services, the Public Affairs Office and the Network Communications Family Readiness Group. When asked how she felt about winning the award, Tucker said, “It feels good ... it’s never been about the recognition. It’s always been about helping people.” “When I look at this group, what I think about is the few, the proud, the volunteers,” said Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley,
commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca. “Having been in the service for over 30 years, and everybody that has a few years under their belt having done this, you know that every place you go, there is a small group [of volunteers] and it often the same people. “When you volunteer, you see the same spouses, the same civilians in the community. They’re always volunteering; they’re always there. They have lots of kids, lots of responsibilities, lots of things tugging at their time, but they are always able to carve that time out and share.” Pfc. Shane Freeman, Company B, 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, was awarded the Military Volunteer of the Year because of his 400 plus hours volunteered to Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the Sierra Vista police department, the Sierra Vista animal shelter, and much more. Due to his recent volunteer deploy-
ment, he was not present at the ceremony. “My hats off to you and all you do,” Ashley concluded. “It really is the strength of a nation. It’s the character that you
bring. It’s being part of something that is bigger than you are and that is really what volunteerism is.”
Col. Dan McFarland, Fort Huachuca garrison commander, and Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, presented Meade Thorton with her award for Youth Volunteer of the Year. She gave over 200 hours of unpaid time to Army Community Services throughout 2012.
Felicia Tucker was awarded the Civilian Volunteer of the Year award by Col. Dan McFarland, Fort Huachuca garrison commander, and Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca. Tucker volunteered over 650 hours of time to a variety of organizations on Fort Huachuca.
Dennis Maruska, director, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, presented Pfc. Shane Freeman, Company B, 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, with the Military Volunteer of the Year award on April 17. Freeman was scheduled to deploy before the Volunteer Recognition Ceremony held on Wednesday, so he was presented his award early.
Col. Dan McFarland, Fort Huachuca garrison commander, received the annual hourly savings check from Jennifer Rickert, Fort Huachuca volunteer program manager, Wednesday at the Volunteer Recognition Ceremony and Luncheon. This check represents the amount of money that volunteer services saved the Fort Huachuca garrison.
FH welcomes ... From COMMANDER, page 1A first day that you came into the Army and that’s why you are here.” Ashley moved to Fort Huachuca with his wife, Barbara, from Raleigh, N.C. They have two sons, Sean and Justin, who live in Atlanta, Ga. “A special thanks to my wife Barb, whose energy and support has never waned.” Ashley said. “No matter how many deployments, no matter how many moves, she has always been there steadfast. And to my son’s Sean and Justin, I am proud of the incredible independent, talented and caring young men you have become.” During the ceremony, a bouquet of yellow roses were presented to Barbara, symbolizing a new beginning as she looks forward to new friendships within the community and service within the command. “Barb and I are in deep fortunes to have this opportunity to return to the Intel Center, and we look forward to the days ahead,” Ashley concluded.

Role of a 35M - just how do we get info? Story by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer
Fort Huachuca is the largest training center in the United States for Military Intelligence, or MI, service members. As a Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, center of excellence, a variety of MI courses are offered here. One of the many important military occupational specialties taught here is the Human Intelligence Collector course, also known as the 35M course. The duties of a 35M include conducting interrogations and debriefings, providing Army personnel with information about enemy forces, strengths, weaknesses and potential battle areas. According the Fort Huachuca Quality Assurance office, 834 Soldiers graduated from the course in fiscal year 2012. The length of training for a 35M is approximately 18 to 20 weeks. This time is spent both in the classroom and in the field. “Their job is to collect [intelligence information] on the ground, either through interrogations or source operations,” said Staff Sgt. Jonathan Bobo, 309th Military Intelligence Battalion. “Their primary function is to get actionable intelligence to the commander, as quickly as possible. Human Intelligence Collectors have to vet the information and consider where it is coming from. These are things that [35Ms] are taught here on post.” Often, a 35M is attached as support for a Brigade Combat Team, or BCT, which is made up of various
units necessary to sustain its operations away from its parent division. The purpose of a BCT is to deploy and stand alone, simulating a miniature division. “When you combine forces like that, you are able to do a lot more,” Bobo said. “You can get a lot more accurate and timely intelligence into the hands of the commander so that they can make their decisions at that point.” It takes a particular personality for this job.

Military Intelligence – this week in history Lieutenant plays integral role during Spanish-American War By Ruth Quinn, Staff Historian USAICoE Command History Office
April 23, 1898 The world situation in 1898 was highly charged. Beginning in 1492, Spain had built an empire along the Atlantic seaboard which, at its height, extended from Virginia to the tip of South America. By 1825 much of that empire had fallen into other hands, and Spain acknowledged the independence of its possessions on the mainlands. However, Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Atlantic, and the Philippines, Guam, and other islands in the Pacific, were still under Spanish control. Cuba was the first of these to initiate its fight for independence. Tensions between the United States and Spain over control of Cuba had been growing for some time, heightened because of American interests in the sugar
trade. By 1895, the United States had more than $50 million invested in Cuba, and the annual trade, mostly in sugar, was twice that amount. Despite President Grover Cleveland’s declaration of neutrality, many Americans began to clamor for war. When the USS Maine exploded in Manila harbor on Feb. 15, 1898, war seemed to be a foregone conclusion. But the new American President, William McKinley, needed information. He knew success against Spain meant he needed cooperation from the insurgent forces within Cuba seeking independence from Spain. As Andrew Rowan himself wrote, the President needed to know “how many Spanish troops there were on the island, their quality and condition, their morale, the character of their officers, especially those of the high command; the state of the roads in all seasons; the sanitary
situation in both the Spanish and insurgent armies and the country in general; how well both sides were armed and what the Cuban forces would need in order to harass the enemy while American battalions were being mobilized; the topography of the country and many other important facts.” The President asked then-Maj. Arthur Wagner, head of the Military Information Division, whom he should send to Cuba to carry a critical message to Gen. Calixto Garcia. Wagner recommended “a young officer here in Washington; a lieutenant named Rowan, who will carry it for you.” “Send him!” was the President’s order. Thus began a harrowing, dangerous journey deep into Cuba to meet with Garcia, the Cuban revolutionary and enemy of Spain. 1st Lt. Andrew Rowan understood the dangers: upon his departure from the United States,
a state of war did not exist. Rowan arrived in Cuba on April 23, 1898. Two days later, the United States declared war on Spain and the situation instantly became deadly serious. It took another week of traveling before Rowan successfully delivered his message to Garcia on May 1, 1898. In his own words, Rowan wrote, “The long and toilsome journey with its many risks, its chances of failure, its chances for death, was over. I had succeeded.” Garcia furnished Rowan with maps and other intelligence on Spanish strengths and weaknesses on the island and sent him back the same day, with two officers from his own army to accompany him and coordinate American military efforts from Washington. Another dangerous journey lay ahead. Before the fighting ended, the United States would spend $250 million and lose 3,000 lives - 90 percent

to infectious diseases. Spain and America signed a peace treaty in Paris on Dec. 10, 1898, establishing the independence of Cuba, ceding Puerto Rico and Guam to the United States, and allowing the United States to purchase the Philippines Islands from Spain for $20 million.

Most TRICARE beneficiaries unaffected by Prime Service Area reductions TRICARE news release
FALLS CHURCH, Va. – TRICARE Prime will remain a health care option for 97 percent of approximately 5 million beneficiaries eligible for Prime. The 3 percent difference, comprising about 171,000 beneficiaries, will automatically revert to the TRICARE Standard health care option on Oct. 1, 2013. Those beneficiaries, who mostly reside more than 40 miles from a military clinic or hospital recently received a letter explaining their options and will receive a reminder letter in June or July. “The first thing TRICARE beneficiaries should know about the reduction in the number of Prime Service Areas is that it doesn’t mean they’re losing their TRICARE benefit,” said Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense
for Health Affairs. “Next, it’s important to remember this change does not affect most of the more than 5 million people using TRICARE Prime, and none of our active duty members and their families.” TRICARE is committed to keeping beneficiaries informed about these changes. As a follow-up to the initial notification, a second letter will be mailed in early summer to make sure all affected beneficiaries have the time and information to make important decisions about their future health care options. The TRICARE website, www.tricare. mil/PSA, has the most current details and gives beneficiaries the option to sign for e-mail updates. A ZIP code tool is available on the site to help beneficiaries determine if they live in an affected PSA. As always, TRICARE beneficiaries are still covered by TRICARE Standard. For
those living within 100 miles of a remaining PSA, re-enrolling in Prime may be an option depending on availability. To do this, beneficiaries must waive their drivetime standards and, possibly, travel long distances for primary and specialty care. “I urge all impacted beneficiaries to carefully consider their health care options – they should talk them over with family members and their current health care provider,” said Dr. Woodson. “Many beneficiaries may be able to continue with their current provider using the Standard benefit. Being close to your health care team usually offers the best and safest access to care.” In TRICARE Prime those enrolled are assigned a primary care provider who manages their health care. Retirees pay an annual enrollment fee and have low out of pocket costs under this plan. TRI-
CARE Standard is an open-choice option with no monthly premiums and no need for referrals, but there are cost shares and an annual deductible. The Department of Defense first planned to reduce the number of PSAs in 2007 when it requested bids for the third generation of regional health care support contracts. The PSAs being eliminated are not close to existing military treatment facilities or Base Realignment and Closure sites. Prolonged protests resulted in a staggered transition and it was decided to keep all PSAs in place until all three contracts were in place. On April 1, 2013, the West region completed its transition. By eliminating select PSAs, TRICARE and DoD can better control costs while continuing to deliver a high quality health care benefit to all 9.6 million TRICARE beneficiaries.

Army recognizes Fort’s antiterrorism officer Story and Photo by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer
Fort Huachuca has achieved its first antiterrorism award. Jesse Markum, Antiterrorism Officer, was selected to the Fiscal Year 2012 Army Antiterrorism Honor Roll. Markum is one of 30 recipients and the first officer to represent Fort Huachuca. The FY 2012 Army Antiterrorism Honor Roll is part of the Army Antiterrorism Awards program, which recognizes those who work behind the scenes in the Antiterrorism field, protecting Department of Army personnel, Family members, facilities and installations. Markum’s award specifically recognizes his behind the scenes effort to protect Army personnel, resources and missions from terrorist attacks. “To be recognized is really an honor, it speaks well to the direction our program is heading and the progress we’ve made and continue to make. Antiterrorism is a team sport. Lorraine Griffin, assistant antiterrorism officer; Monica Lake, garrison security officer; the Director of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security team; the Public Affairs Office and the subordinate units that make up the Antiterrorism Working Group are just a few who share in this award,” Markum said You can fail alone, but you cannot succeed alone, I’m no exception,” he concluded. Markum’s achievements have been recognized by Installation Management Command Command-
er Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and U.S. Army Provost Marshall, Maj. Gen. David Quantock. Honor Roll selectees were chosen by the Office of the Provost Marshal General Antiterrorism Branch’s FY12 Army Antiterrorism Awards Board when it
convened last December. In addition to the honor roll, other categories included Best AT Program - Installation; Best AT Program - Unit; Best AT Program - Stand Alone Facility; Best AT Program Manager and Best AT Program - Army Major Subordinate Command.
Jesse Markum, antiterrorism officer, is an Army Antiterrorism Honor Roll Selectee for the 2012 Fiscal Year. The award includes a congratulatory letter and coin from Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter, Installation Management Command, and a certificate signed by Maj. Gen. David E. Quantock, U.S. Army Provost Marshall General.

Cyrano Brigham, safety occupational health specialist, is pictured in front of the Safety Office taking notes.
Fort Huachuca excelled in safety for fiscal year 2013, or FY 2013, earning the U.S. Army Safety Excellence Streamer Award. It recognizes the efforts and dedication put forth by the Garrison to create a positive safety culture. “[The U.S. Army Safety Excellence Streamer Award] means a lot because it shows that the organization is doing what it’s supposed to be doing. It’s a requirement for us to be safe, so we’re doing that and getting recognized for it from our higher headquarters [Installation Management Command],” Daniel Orta, installation safety director, explained. The award documents multiple safety achievements. These include 12 months without experiencing a Class A or Class B accident and 100 percent completion of Composite Risk Management train-
ing for U.S. Army Garrison Soldiers and employees. In addition, Fort Huachuca completed the Army Readiness Assessment Program for FY 2013 and two installation level Safety Stand Down Days for FY 2011, 2012 and 2013. Another achievement involved development of Collateral Duty Safety Officer and Additional Duty Safety Officer programs which provide tools to improve hazard identification and safety culture. According to Orta, these accomplishments reflect greatly upon the safety office. “It shows that your organization is doing the right things as far as ensuring risk management, making sure your employees or Soldiers are safe, whether in the field, work-side, at home, off duty or on duty,” he said. Once received, the U.S. Army Safety Excellence Streamer Award will be displayed on the Fort Huachuca Guidon.
It’s our job ... From TERRORISTS, page 2A 20 years ago, consider the similarities. Tensions between the American military and the Middle East are high right now. As recently as last month, terrorist groups made threats against Italy and the Italian government. What if the blond man with the heavy accent had
been a terrorist supporter? Or what if, in an effort to save his own life during a hijacking, he pointed the young woman out as U.S. military? What if someone overheard her details about Aviano and took that information to a terrorist group? What if someone was trying to find out if the Amsterdam airport gets a lot of American military traffic? What if someone
at the airport saw her Air Force bag and decided to make her a target? We can’t always predict a terrorist’s action, but we can protect ourselves to the best of our abilities by not revealing information about our jobs, the military, reasons for travel or other information. We should always keep them guessing.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday
By Chanel S. Weaver U.S. Army Public Health Command
WASHINGTON – National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day will be observed locally and nationwide on Saturday. Sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the day is specifically set aside to allow an opportunity to empty medicine cabinets, kitchen drawers, purses and pillboxes of unwanted, unused and expired prescription drugs, and take them to authorized collection sites in local communities. Drug overdoses and brain damage linked to long-term drug abuse killed
an estimated 37,485 people in 2009, the latest year for which preliminary data are available, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Drugs now kill more people than motor vehicle accidents in the U.S.,” said Maj. Clifton Dabbs, a physician and epidemiologist at the U.S. Army Public Health Command. Prescription drug use has increased over the years in the military. About 17 percent of military personnel reported misusing prescription drugs, including stimulants (other than methamphetamine), tranquilizers/muscle relaxers,
CoUrteSy photo The Directorate of Emergency Services will host a collection site for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Take Back Initiative from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the Post Exchange parking lot. This is an opportunity for Soldiers, retirees, civilians and Family members who have accumulated unwanted, unused prescription and non-prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications. Needles, aerosols such as inhalers and illegal/illicit non-prescribed narcotics will not be accepted. There will be a drive-thru lane and walk-up collection area. DES will offer children’s identification kits and static displays. For more information, call 533.5249.
sedatives/barbiturates, pain relievers, anabolic steroids, and erectile dysfunction drugs, according to the 2008 Department of Defense Survey of HealthRelated Behaviors. As in the civilian population, pain relievers were the most commonly misused/abused type of prescription drug across the military services and in the Army specifically. According to the 2011 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health, more than 70 percent of people abusing prescription pain relievers got them through friends or relatives, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet. Dabbs said that the abuse of opiates is becoming more prevalent across the Army. “Our surveillance shows that there is a rapid increase in the numbers of Soldiers being diagnosed with opiate dependence or abuse since 2005,” said Dabbs. Opiate drugs are narcotic sedatives that depress activity of the central nervous system, reduce pain and induce sleep. When misused, opiates can become deadly. “Opiates act centrally on the nervous system and can actually suppress your ability to breathe,” said Dabbs. For this reason, it is important to get rid of painkillers as soon as possible. “It is highly recommended to flush any narcotic pain killer down the toilet when they are no longer needed for the treatment of pain in which they were prescribed,” said Dabbs. “This is be-
cause the risk of someone stealing them, taking them by accident, and or the temptation to use them recreationally when drinking is too high and the consequences can be deadly,” said Dabbs. While flushing is not a recommended disposal method for many drugs, Dabbs’ advice about opiates is seconded by authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration. Dabbs also pointed out that drugs can lose potency and effectiveness if they are stored improperly or kept too long. Since the opportunity to dispose of unwanted and expired medications comes around only once a year, Dabbs thinks it’s an opportunity that should be seized. “In the interests of both health and safety, it’s best to rid homes and barracks of unneeded prescriptions,” Dabbs said. “Disposing of old prescriptions through the take-back program removes the risk of misuse and precludes accidental overdose by children or pets.” For personnel who are unable to visit an authorized collection site, the Food and Drug Administration recommends disposing of prescription medication by taking the medication out of its original container and mixing with kitty litter or used coffee grounds, then double bagging the item, and putting out with the trash. Past Prescription Drug Take-Back Days have been very successful, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA. On Sept. 29, 2012, more than 488,000 pounds of unwanted or expired medication was collected at 5,263 take-back sites.
Army deaths spur successful campaign against supplements By Donna Miles Special to The Scout
WASHINGTON – A “David-and-Goliath” scenario, an Army installation commander standing up to a multi-billion-dollar industry over the deaths of three of his Soldiers, has borne fruit in a national Food and Drug Administration warning and the drug maker’s decision to stop production of a controversial dietary supplement. Gen. Dana J.H. Pittard, commander of Fort Bliss, Texas, and the 1st Armored Division, lauded USPlabs’s announcement that it would stop production of Jack3d. The supplement contains dimethylamylamine, or DMAA, a stimulant popular among bodybuilders and dieters that the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, last week linked to elevated blood pressure and heart attacks. Pittard’s crusade against the supplement began in 2011, when two Fort Bliss Soldiers, Pfc. Michael Sparling and Sgt. Demekia Cola, died of heart failure during physical training. Their autopsies reviewed that DMAA use was a contributing factor in their deaths.
In July 2012, another Fort Bliss Soldier, Pfc. David Artis, died of heart stroke during physical fitness training. His death also was linked to DMAA use. Pittard, who instituted a campaign to reduce suicides and other preventable deaths on arrival at Fort Bliss, immediately demanded that products containing DMAA be removed from the shelves of a commercial vitamin store outlet on the post. It was an unpopular move, he told reporters today, raising the ire of the Fort Bliss community, questions from some Army leaders, and criticism from manufacturers of supplemental products. “But regardless, we stood firm in the face of that criticism,” Pittard said. “We felt it was the right thing to do for our Soldiers.” The pushback, he said, actually strengthened the resolve at Fort Bliss to take the fight beyond the installation’s gates. Partnering with the Consortium for Health and Military Performance and the Pentagon’s Department of Military and Emergency Medicine, Pittard and his staff set their eye on eradicating DMAA products across not only the Army, but also the entire
Defense Department. This unified campaign spurred the Army to ban supplements containing DMAA from all installations in March 2012. Four months later, the Defense Department followed suit, banning them from all U.S. installations. In the next promising development, the FDA issued an advisory last week warning consumers not to buy dietary supplements containing DMAA. But the biggest victory, Pittard said, was the decision by USPlabs, the manufacturer of Jack3d, to stop using DMAA in its products. “Yesterday’s action by USPlabs really in many ways vindicates those on Fort Bliss who fought so hard and fought the supplement and billion-dollar drug industry on this issue,” he said. Pittard expressed thanks to the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Army and DOD leadership for supporting the effort. He acknowledged that it took courage to collectively stand up to powerful drug companies and others who resisted their efforts. “And we believe this will save countless lives in the future,” he said.

Army scientists scout new energy solutions for battlefield ARL Release
conflict, said John Carroll, action officer for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Power and Energy Technology Focus Team. “The fuel challenge won’t go away. We have to fix it.” Shaffer originated the concept of “Smart Battlefield Energy on-Demand (SmartBED).” SmartBED is one way we think Soldiers would be able to link up to the power they need. It will ultimately bring complex pieces together - generator, solar systems and energy storage - in a flexible, resilient way into an energy network, said Carroll, who retired from the Navy as a nuclear propulsion engineer before coming to ARL. “The essence of SmartBED is being able to get energy seamlessly when and where it is needed, but yet not wasting it,” Shaffer said. “Currently, we waste energy and it limits availability because often a single power source is tied directly to a single load.” We want Soldiers to plug into the energy they need to keep their sources, batteries and devices topped off, yet drawing energy only as needed,” Shaffer said. “SmartBED is designed to improve energy capacity for Soldiers while they are at base camp or otherwise on the move.” Shaffer has a wide view of the energy needs across Army, DoD and interagency forums that explore complimentary ways of addressing energy and power technology gaps and reduce duplicated efforts, including the DoD Energy and Power Community of Interest and the Interagency Advanced Power Group that includes agencies like the Department of Energy and NASA. These communities are comprised of scientists, engineers, subject matter experts, technologists and program managers with a common interest in promoting innovative energy and power solutions for the nation. “One of the good things is to be able to see the flow of technology and communicate at each level,” Carroll said. “We
What if scientists and engineers could scavenge energy for Warfighters, like bottom feeders scavenge in the ocean? The U.S. Army Research Laboratory, along with the Army science and technology community is pursuing novel technology aspects of the Army’s Operational Energy Strategy. Energy Scavenging is just one way ARL experts are getting more from existing resources, said Dr. Edward Shaffer, who is the Energy and Power Division Chief at the lab. Energy harvesting is critical to realize “net zero” energy use, a key element of the Army’s Operational Energy Strategy. There are a number of technology areas enabling operational energy, such as energy storage, alternative energy sources, high-density power converters and micro grids that the lab is pursuing. Department of Defense Operational energy is an emerging area being shaped. It is what is required to train, move, and sustain forces, weapons, and equipment for military operations. It accounted for 75 percent of all energy used by DoD in 2009, according to the Energy website for DoD. It was in May 2011 when the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy, Plans and Programs defined an operational energy strategy, and then published Operational Energy for the Warfighter, a guide that would transform the way the DoD consumes energy in military operations. “We want to develop technologies to enable future energy networks for the Warfighter,” Shaffer said. “The challenge is to develop something that could be valuable to Soldiers 15 to 20 years from now - based on what we know today.” A past history of success in areas like electrochemistry is “informing the way forward for other technologies,” he said. “In the recent past, ARL electrochemists discovered a way to increase the duration of high-energy batteries with an electrolyte additive. Now, other teams are thinking about high-efficiency, miniature power supplies that could give small, unmanned systems bursts of power “on-demand,” Shaffer said. “Technology is ever changing,” he said. The basic research Scientists at U.S. Army Research Laboratory are working on highat the laboratory now density power converters to power micro autonomous systems will help the Army to and technology. This power converter module photographed next to ballpoint pen tip shows just how small microinductors can be. be better in the next
come together as a science and technology community and see what investments are necessary to better get Program Executive Offices and Program Managers the operational energy tools they need when they need it.” The Army acknowledges energy and power challenges to its operational energy concept and strategy, beyond technological improvement - there are cultural, policy and procedural concerns that leaders are addressing. There are ongoing research initiatives within the Army to explore alternatives and technology improvements in order to offset long-standing issues, like delivering large amounts of JP8 to the front lines, Carroll said. The good news is that within and beyond the Army there are partners that are finding solutions and pushing technologies ahead together more smartly, he said. At ARL, the future is a seamless energy architecture that begins with concepts like SmartBED, Long-lived Power and FuelReforming for better energy convergence.
Dr. Chris Meyer, with ARL’s Power Components Branch, processes a silicon wafer in the lab Clean Room to test fabrication methods for realizing high density, efficient power microinductors.
Dr. Sarah S. Bedair, an electronics engineer with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, is adjusting the settings on ink-jet printer used to deposit nanomaterials onto the surfaces of micro-devices. These devices would be used in high-power-density power supplies. The lab is pursuing energy solutions in areas like energy storage, alternative energy sources, high-density power converters and micro grids.

Check your child’s eligibility. In the 2013-14 school year, children with an active-duty military parent, children adopted out of the state’s foster care system, children with special needs, and students in “D” or “F” rated public schools can apply for an account. To view your school’s report card, visit the Arizona Department of Education’s website at www.azed.gov and search your school by name.

Soldier Show dress rehearsal inspires youth By Robert Dozier U.S. Army Installation Management Command
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Fort Sam Houston and area youth witnessed preparations at final dress rehearsal of the 2013 U.S. Army Soldier Show. Girl Scouts, Brownies and members of local youth centers and their leaders were invited to come to historic Fort Sam Houston Theater to see the show and to meet the cast and crew in a first-ever back-stage VIP pass tour. “I serve Fort Sam and Lackland and 21 surrounding counties in Southwest Texas region,” said Raitza Garcia, recruitment specialist for Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas. “It is important for some of the girls who are not military to experience and understand and share the culture captured in this show.” “Ready and Resilient” is the name and spirit of the 2013 U.S. Army Soldier Show. The show opened April 19, 20 and 21 at the theater, the home of Army Entertainment. “I’ve seen three Soldier Shows throughout the years,” said Garcia. “I can’t wait to see the new show with my girls.” The 75-minute show by active duty, Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers features sophisticated dance and music designed as a Broadway-styled stage production. The performers and
crew hope to demonstrate how Soldiers and their families maintain readiness and resiliency. This was the first time leaders of area youth groups were invited to see the final dress rehearsal. “We only have one rule for you today, and that is to have fun,” said Soldier Show Artistic Director Victor Hurtado. “If you feel like clapping hands, singing along, standing up or dancing, go ahead.” Hurtado promises there is something for everyone who watches the show.

At the end of the dress rehearsal, the audience met each of the performers on stage and then went backstage to see the where costume changes were made and stage props were kept. “The show was awesome. It made me smile, it made me laugh and it made me cry,” said Stephanie West, a member of the Fort Sam Houston Youth Center. “I felt so many emotions about the stories they told. It was breathtaking.” Overall, the cast and crew appeared to

be well prepared and there were no obvious stage calamities; however every dress rehearsal butterfly was quieted by the desire to perform. “What you can’t express in words, music helps you to do that,” said SPC Millie Sneed, one of 15 Soldier-performers. “What I’m most looking forward to in this tour is to uplift and inspire people. I’m living my dream and I want to share my talent and gifts to inspire others to live their own dream.” “I brought my youth group so they could see the Soldiers and get an idea of what they go through every day,” said Shona Smith, Child Youth programs assistant at Fort Sam Houston Middle School Teen Youth Center. “My daughter wants to join the military when she is older and that makes me afraid, but I want to support her in every way I can.” “I came to the show because of my mom. She’s an inspiration to me in every way,” said Mala Bradford, member of the Fort Sam Houston Youth Center. “She is strong emotionally and physically and I’m proud of everything she does.” This year marks the 30th anniversary of the modern U.S. Army Soldier Show and
includes tributes to the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 75th anniversary of Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America,” the 60th anniversary of the Armistice of the Korean War, and the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War. After the opening at Fort Sam Houston, the 2013 U.S. Army Soldier Show heads to Fort Sill, Fort Bliss, Fort Huachuca and White Sands Missile Range for tour dates in May.

Buena hosts mock prom crash, safety program Sierra Vista Unified School District Press Release
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. – Saturday night will mark what can be the most exciting night of many students’ high school years: Prom. While it is important for students to have a memorable night, the Buena High School administration of the Sierra Vista Unified School District hopes the memories will be good. In order to help students to remember the dangers out on the road on Prom night the Sierra Vista Fire Department, Fry Fire Department, Sierra Vista Police Department, and Air Evacuations Team are pulling together to role-play a prom experience that will exemplify what can happen when students are not being responsible on Prom night. At 12:30 p.m. today, the Junior and Senior classes at Buena High School will participate in a special presentation by representatives from both Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Buena High School club, Students Against Drunk Driving.
After the presentation, at approximately 1 p.m. students will be directed to the football stadium where a mock vehicle crash will be staged. The wrecked vehicles are being donated by Barnett’s Towing and will look the part. Shortly after the students are in the stadium, the emergency services vehicles will be called in to the scene of the accident. Firefighter Justin Wright said, “We are going to treat it like a normal scene and go into action.” He said the role-play exercise will include using extraction tools to remove participants from the vehicles. One participant will be air lifted from the scene while another will be transported in an ambulance. The drama department at Buena is participating with providing makeup and taking part in the roleplay. Two firefighters are also going to be dressed as students in the role play. Several members of the Sierra Vista Fire Department been talking about doing this type of exercise for the last couple of years, but Wright said this was the first of this type of demonstration to ever take
place at Buena High School. The concern over safety at Prom is not without merit. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that April, May and June are consistently the highest months for teen fatalities in traffic accidents. The fire department has been working with the student club, SADD, to facilitate this exercise. “It is our hope that students will be able to understand the gravity of the decisions they make when they attend prom activities this year,” said Kriss Hagerl, associate superintendent of the Sierra Vista Unified School District said. “We want all of our students to have a great time, but we also want them to go home safe and sound.” Buena High School is located on 5255 E. Buena School blvd in Sierra Vista, AZ and currently has approximately 2100 students. Any questions or comments can be directed to the SVUSD Public Information Officer, Sarah Pacheco, at sarah. pacheco@svps.k12.az.us or by calling 520-5152723.
