Eleven-day FY 13 furlough to begin July 8 Scout Reports

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel released Tuesday a memorandum to the Department of Defense on civilian furloughs.

The memo directs defense managers to prepare to furlough most Department of Defense, or DoD, civilians for up to 11 days. (Hagel’s message on civilian furloughs appears on page 2 of today’s “Fort Huachuca Scout.”)

Major budgetary shortfalls drove the basic furlough decision. On March 1, sequestration went into effect across the federal government, according to the memorandum. DoD’s budget for FY 2013 was reduced by $37 billion.

In addition, because the wartime budget is also subject to sequestration, “We must utilize funds originally budgeted for other purposes in order to provide our troops at

war with every resource they need,” the memorandum stated. “To compound our problems, when we estimated future wartime operating costs more than a year ago, we planned on fuel costs below what we are currently experiencing. Taken together, all these factors lead to a shortfall in our O&M accounts of more than $30 billion - a level that exceeds 15 percent of our budget request, with fewer than six months left in the fiscal year in which to accommodate this dramatic reduction in available resources.

“We are taking actions to reduce this shortfall. One main priority has governed

our decisions: to minimize the adverse effects on our military mission, including military readiness,” the memorandum continued.

“With this in mind, early this calendar year we cut back sharply on facilities maintenance and worked to hold down base operating costs - decisions we knew would build a backlog of maintenance and adversely affect our bases. We are also preparing a request to Congress that would permit us to shift some funding from investment and military personnel accounts into the O&M accounts.

If approved by Congress, this initiative -

known as a reprogramming - would help close the gap.

But these actions are not enough, according to the memorandum.

“We have begun making sharp cuts in the training and maintenance of our operating forces - cutbacks that are seriously harming military readiness. The Army, for example, has terminated most remaining FY 2013 training rotations at its combat training centers. The Air Force has or soon will stop all flying at about one-third of its combat coded squadrons in the active forces. The Navy and Marine Corps are cutting back on training and on deployments - including a decision not to send a second carrier strike group to the Gulf.

“These are only a few of the many cutbacks we have made in training and maintenance. These actions reduce our abilSee FURLOUGH, page 8A

NETCOM commanding general reveals plans for future of Signal in Pacific

By Maj. Avon Cornelius 311th Signal Command (Theater) Public Affairs

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii – The commanding general of U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command, Maj. Gen. Alan Lynn visited Hawaii as part of his recent Pacific engagement tour, which included a visit with Signal Soldiers of the U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Army Pacific.

Lynn was the keynote speaker for the Signal Corps Regimental Association lunch at the Nehelani Conference and Banquet Center, May 6.

Lynn spoke about the future of the Signal Corps and upcoming projects at NETCOM, to include the virtual environment as a training aid, the future of Army cyber, and the Pacific.

“What the chief of staff of the Army wants for the future is a live, virtual and constructive environment,” said Lynn.

“When funding goes down, at some point training stops. With a virtual environment, you can actually have some helicopters flying, with some folks be-

hind a screen; you have some Humvees driving with some folks behind a screen.

Everything is happening all at once.”

“It has been determined that the cyber protection forces will fall underneath the Signal Corps, specifically NETCOM,” Lynn said. “We have already stood up the 7th Cyber Mission Unit at Fort Gordon, and we are going to start recruiting here shortly for cyber warriors. By this summer there will be two cyber protection platoons.”

Lynn also discussed the advantages of passive optical networks, which are point-to-multipoint, fiber to the premises network architecture in which unpowered optical splitter are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises. There are many benefits to these networks over the current Ethernet systems being used by the Army including less equipment, better life cycle management, and further reach.

“Ethernet takes 35,000 switches and routers per post, you can do the same thing for about 2,000 switches with passive optical networks,” Lynn said.

“The life cycle for Ethernet is five to seven years; it is 10 to 15 plus with the passive optical networks.”

During his visit, Lynn also took time to recognize a few Soldiers and civilians for their support to the command and presented them with his commander’s coin of excellence.

Spc. Vanessa Irvin, 311th Signal Command (Theater) G1, was awarded

a coin for making the commandant’s list during Warrior Leader Course.

“It was a great accomplishment,” Irvin said. “To be recognized by the NETCOM commander was an honor and a privilege.”

NETCOM, based out of Fort Huachuca, consists of about 16,000 military and civilians spread across 20 different countries.

Commanding General Maj. Gen. Alan Lynn, Network Enterprise Technology Command, recognizes Soldiers and civilians for their support to the command May 7 at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. Lynn presented them with his commander’s coin of excellence.

Scout speaks!

Message to all Department of Defense personnel from Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel on civilian furloughs “As you are fully aware, the Department of Defense is facing a historic shortfall in our budget for the current fiscal year. This is the result of current law that went into effect March 1. It imposes deep across-the-board cuts on DoD and other federal agencies. Combined with higher than expected wartime operating costs, we are now short more than $30 billion in our operation and maintenance, or O&M accounts - which are the funds that we use to pay most civilian employees, maintain our military readiness and respond to global contingencies.

“The department has been doing everything possible to reduce this shortfall while ensuring we can defend the nation, sustain wartime operations, and preserve DoD’s most critical asset - our world-class civilian and military personnel. To that end, we have cut back sharply on facilities maintenance, worked to shift funds from investment to O&M accounts, and reduced many other important but non-essential programs.

“Still, these steps have not been enough to close the shortfall. Each of the military services has begun to significantly reduce training and maintenance of non-deployed operating forces - steps

that will adversely impact military readiness. And even these reductions are not enough. Since deeper cuts to training and maintenance could leave our nation and our military exposed in the event of an unforeseen crisis, we have been forced to consider placing the majority of our civilian employees on administrative furlough.

“After extensive review of all options with the DoD’s senior military and civilian leadership on how we address this budget crisis, today I am announcing that I have decided to direct furloughs of up to 11 days for most of the department’s civilian personnel. I have made this decision very reluctantly, because I know that the furloughs will disrupt lives and impact DoD operations. I recognize the significant hardship this places on you and your families.

“After required notifications, we will begin the furlough period on July 8 at the rate of one furlough day per week for most personnel. We plan to continue these furloughs through the end of the current fiscal year. If our budgetary situation permits us to end furloughs early, I would strongly prefer to do so. That is a decision I will make later

in the year.

“Furloughs for 11 days represent about half of the number we had originally planned, reflecting the department’s vigorous efforts to meet our budgetary shortfalls through actions other than furlough. There will be exceptions driven by law and by the need to minimize harm to the execution of our core missions. For example, all employees deployed or temporarily assigned to a combat zone will be excepted from furloughs.

“Your managers have been given authority to develop specific furlough procedures to minimize adverse mission effects and also limit the harm to morale and productivity. They will be in touch with you to provide guidance and answers.

“The president and I are deeply appreciative of your patience, your hard work, and your dedication and contributions to the critical mission of helping protect America’s national security. I am counting on all of you to stay focused on this vital mission in the days ahead. As I said the day I assumed the responsibilities of secretary of defense, I’m proud to be part of your team, and I’m proud to serve with you.”

Army supports president’s request for 2015 BRAC round

By C. Todd Lopez Army News Service

WASHINGTON – As the Army cuts the number of Soldiers in its ranks, there will be an excess of infrastructure in place that used to support those Soldiers.

Maintaining that extra unused infrastructure could mean other critical Army programs will suffer, said a senior official.

“A future round of base realignment and closure, or BRAC, in the U.S. is essential to identify and reduce excess Army infrastructure, and prudently align our civilian staffing with reduced uniform force structure,” said Katherine Hammack, the assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment. She spoke Wednesday before the Senate Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on military construction, veterans affairs and related agencies.

“If Army force structure declines but facilities, overhead and civilian staffs remain constant, our ability to invest in equipment, training and maintenance will be reduced,” she said. “The Army fully supports the president’s request for authority from Congress to conduct a BRAC round in 2015.”

The Army expects to cut some 80,000 Soldiers by fiscal year 2017. The force is expected to be reduced to 490,000 Soldiers by then. With those cuts, force

structure will also be reduced. Already, in Europe, two brigade combat teams have been cut.

In Europe, Hammack told lawmakers, the Army is reducing force structure by 45 percent, reducing infrastructure by 51 percent, reducing civilian staffing by 58 percent, and reducing base operations costs by 57 percent. She also said the Army is working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense to see if there are additional opportunities in Europe for multi-service or joint consolidation.

Stateside, she said, the Army will cut at least eight brigade combat teams, or BCTs, and “maybe more” with continued sequestration.

No decisions have been announced yet about what BCTs will be cut in the U.S. The Army has conducted studies and surveys to make that determination, and underway now is a “total Army analysis,” the results of which are expected before the end of June, that will determine what BCTs will be cut.

Before the announcement of what BCTs will be cut, and from where, the Army has changed its budgeting priorities. Hammack told lawmakers that the Army is not focused on building BCT headquarters or permanent party barracks, for instance, but is instead focused on training ranges, training barracks, and infrastructure improvements.

Hammack also touched on energy security with lawmakers, who were interested in solar facilities at places like Fort Bliss, Texas.

The assistant secretary told senators that the Army’s focus is on improving energy security. Between fiscal year 2011 and 2012, she said, the Army has seen a four-fold increase in power disruptions at bases.

“That means we are required to provide more generation on our bases to continue our missions,” Hammack said.

Renewable energy projects, such as

the 20-megawatt solar farm at Fort Bliss, Texas, deemed the largest in the DoD, or the four-megawatt facility at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., help that process along, she said.

Hammack said the Army continues to look for ways to leverage public/private partnerships, such as what was done at Fort Bliss, to fund renewable energy projects. The Army will depend on the private sector to install and maintain such facilities, and will then buy energy from them at market or lower-than-market price.

Senate appropriationS Committee The Army needs another round of Base Realignment and Closure, said Katherine Hammack, the assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, speaking Wednesday before the Senate Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on military construction, veterans affairs and related agencies.

Hagel orders retraining of recruiters, sexual assault responders American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON – Amid a spate of allegations of criminal behavior by military recruiters and service members involved in the Defense Department’s efforts to prevent sexual assaults and help that crime’s victims, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered the services to retrain, recredential and rescreen all sexual assault prevention and response personnel and military recruiters.

In a statement, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said Hagel was informed yesterday about allegations of criminal behavior against an Army sergeant first class who was a sexual assault prevention and response coordinator at Fort Hood, Texas.

“I cannot convey strongly enough his frustration, anger and disappointment over these troubling allegations and the breakdown in discipline and standards they imply,” Little said.

Hagel met with Army Secretary John McHugh and directed him to fully investigate the matter rapidly, to discover the extent of the allegations, and to ensure all of those who might be involved are dealt with appropriately, the press secretary added.

Little said Hagel directed the retrain-

ing, re-credentialing and rescreening to address the broader concerns that have arisen out of these allegations and other recent events.

“Sexual assault is a crime, and will be treated as such,” the press secretary said.

“The safety, integrity, and well-being of every service member and the success of our mission hang in the balance. Secretary Hagel is looking urgently at every course of action to stamp out this deplorable conduct and ensure that those individuals up and down the chain of command who tolerate or engage in this behavior are appropriately held accountable.”

Army officials announced yesterday that the Army Criminal Investigation Command is investigating the Fort Hood Soldier for pandering, abusive sexual contact, assault and maltreatment of subordinates.

In a statement, Defense Department officials said the Soldier had been assigned as an equal opportunity advisor and sexual harassment and sexual assault response and prevention program coordinator with a 3rd Corps battalion at Fort Hood when the allegations surfaced. The Soldier was immediately suspended from all duties by the chain of command once the allegations were brought to the command’s at-

tention, officials said, adding that charges had so far not been filed or preferred.

During testimony last week before the House Appropriations Committee’s defense subcommittee, McHugh expressed anger over sexual assaults and sex abuse crimes in the military.

“This is so contrary to everything upon which the Army was built,” he said. “To see this kind of activity happening in our ranks

is really heart wrenching and sickening.”

McHugh told members of Congress that Army leaders are focused on efforts to prevent sexual assaults.

“As I said to our new brigadier general corps when I spoke to them about two weeks ago, ‘You can do everything from this point forward in your military career perfectly, but if you fail on this, you have failed the Army,’” he said.

Be aware of debt collection scam alert City of Sierra Vista

The Sierra Vista Police Department has received reports of scammers calling local residents threatening arrest for a delinquent debt. While some collection agencies operate within the law, debt collection scams are on the rise.

In Arizona, no arrest warrant will be issued for private debt. Those threatened with arrest are being scammed.

Do not provide personal information or payment.

Scammers will call, notifying people that their company has taken over the person’s debt. These scam artists will then demand payment or threaten that an arrest warrant will be issued if

payment is not made immediately.

Avoid being scammed. Don’t send a check, cash or money order, wire money, or give out account information to anyone insisting on immediate payment if you did not contact them.

Instead, get the company name, address and phone number of the collection agency then check with the Better Business Bureau, www.bbb.org to verify the business is legitimate.

Contact the business that claims you owe them money and verify there is a debt. Always ask for written verification of the debt.

Colonel ends nearly three decades of service Story and photo by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

A retirement ceremony was held in honor of Col. Michael Popovich, Fort Huachuca Training and Doctrine Command, capability manager for Intelligence Sensors, on May 10 in Alvarado Hall.

Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commander, United States Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, presiding officer and guest speaker at the ceremony, said “As he closes this chapter in his life, Mike can be proud of all he has accomplished, as a spouse, as a father, and as a Soldier. Today we celebrate his accomplished and storied career.”

During his time at Fort Huachuca, Popovich performed as the U.S. Army’s centralized manager for all capabilities development and user activities associated with Army aerial and terrestrial layer platforms and sensors, according to his biography. A master aviator qualified in a variety of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, Popovich has logged nearly 2,400 flight hours, with 340 of those in combat.

After graduating from Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minn., Popo-

vich began his military chapter in May 1986, when he was commissioned as a U.S. Army second lieutenant. Since then, he has served in many locations to include: Camp Casey/Camp Stanley, Korea; Fort Drum, N.Y.; Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras; Orlando, Fla.; Fort Bliss, Texas; Pentagon, Washington D.C.; Wiesbaden, Germany; and Stuttgart, Germany.

During his speech, Popovich expressed gratitude to many people who held an important role in his career. He reminisced about stories of his past endeavors, and the individuals involved. “The recognition and accolades bestowed upon me today are really not all for me. I did not successfully complete 27-plus years of military service and achieve the rank of colonel on my own. I had help, and a lot of it,” he said.

Popovich has been married to his wife, Robin, for 22 years. They have two children, Matthew, 17, and Bryn, 15.

During his speech, he explained that having grown up in the military himself, he could relate to the life his family has experienced during his career.

“To my children ... thanks for putting up with all the PCS (permanent change

of station) moves, friendships that were cut short, missing out on building relationships with extended families, and often times an absent and distracted father, due to deployments and long hours in the office,” Popovich said as he looked admirably at his children in the front row.

Popovich closed his speech, voice trembling, “To my wife Robin ... you have been strong and untiring on the home front and an unselfish contributor

to both my career and the Army Family ...

I cannot thank you enough and can only say you are my best friend, and I love you very much.”

“On behalf of the United States Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, the United States Army, and a grateful nation, we thank you and wish you success and prosperity in all your future endeavors,” Ashley said, at the conclusion of the ceremony.

From left, Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commander, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca; Col. Michael Popovich, Fort Huachuca Training and Doctrine Command, capability manager for Intelligence Sensors; and his wife Robin stand by as the Legion of Merit is presented to Popovich in honor of his 27 years of dedicated service.

Military Intelligence – this week in history Lewis, Clark begin recon mission

By Ruth Quinn, Staff Historian USAICoE Command History Office

May 14, 1804 After President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, he chartered a “Corps of Discovery” exploration and mapping expedition of this vast unknown land, from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains, and beyond the mountains to the sea. Thus began the first U.S. geospatial intelligence effort.

Jefferson chose his trusted personal secretary, Army Capt. Meriwether Lewis, a skilled frontiersman, to lead the voyage. Lewis enlisted the help of former Army 1st Lt. William Clark, who had even more experience as both a draftsman and frontiersman.

Jefferson then personally supervised their year-long scientific training for the expedition. Training included studying published narratives and maps of other explorers, reading celestial observations, learning how to deal with medical emergencies and how to identify plants, animals and minerals. Jefferson also stressed the importance of daily journals written by the captains themselves, as well as by other literate members of the party.

In addition to the geographic information Jefferson

hoped to learn, he had political reasons for the expedition, as well. The geopolitical landscape of North America was as diverse as the physical one in the early 1800s.

Jefferson was on the one hand disturbed by Britain’s expansion of its fur trade in the Pacific Northwest, but he did not want to antagonize the British, needing them as allies should war break out with France over its possession of New Orleans.

France and Spain were also competing for the fur trade in America, and Jefferson wanted to know who supported the French around St. Louis and along the Missouri River. The French were known for their familiarity with native tribes and their languages, so he could not disregard their presence.

Adding to the confusion were the indigenous tribes inhabiting the land of the Louisiana Purchase, who were in conflict with each other as well as the various European powers who had economic interests there.

Finally, Jefferson was interested in the flow of the Missouri River drainage, feeling that any flow of the river above 50 degrees latitude gave him rights to territorial claims in present-day western Canada.

Jefferson schooled Lewis and Clark on all of these geopolitical concerns so the commanders could act as the president’s agents while developing their own informants

along the way, adding to the intelligence sources that addressed Jefferson’s national security concerns.

Lewis “networked” during the winter of 1803 - 1804 before the star of his journey. He developed questionnaires for informant debriefing and tabulated responses in a grid system. In their correspondence, Lewis and Jefferson used a cipher system designed by Jefferson to encode communications “that might do injury if betrayed.”

The Lewis and Clark expedition was, in fact, a reconnaissance mission.

From HISTORY, page 6A Medlicott writes, “As trusted agents of the state, they were sent into potentially hostile territory to observe according to ... instructions and to collect information necessary to ensuring territorial security and negotiating North American geopolitics.”

On May 14, 1804, Lewis and Clark finally started on their two-year voyage of discovery. Their journey took them along the Missouri River from St. Louis through Nebraska and Iowa, South and North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and back. It had far-reaching implications for the future of Native Americans as well as for European Americans, for topography, biological sciences, ecology, and ethnic and linguistic studies of the American Indian. Economic, political, military and social forces brought to bear as a result of the expedition forever changed the northern plains the Native People had known, and would also forever change those who came to the prairie.

Eleven-day furlough to begin ...

From FURLOUGH, page 1A ity to handle future military contingency needs, both this year and in subsequent years.”

According to the memorandum, even after taking all these actions, the U.S. is still short of needed operating funds for FY 2013, and cannot rule out unexpected increases in costs during the next few months.

“So we confront a difficult set of tradeoffs. We can make even larger cutbacks in training and maintenance, further reducing readiness to handle contingency operations and putting into even greater jeopardy our military readiness in future fiscal years. Alternatively, we can furlough civilian personnel to help close the gap and, knowing that morale, productivity and readiness would be affected. This is an unpleasant set of choices, but this is the situation we face.”

Before making a decision, Hagel sought advice and inputs from senior leaders in the military departments and agencies as well as advice from senior civilian and military staff. Hagel asked them to keep in mind the fundamental criterion to minimize adverse mission effects and, subject to that criterion, to ensure reasonable consistency and fairness across the Department for any furloughs imposed.

Based on all these inputs, the secretary of defense decided to direct furloughs of up to 11 days for most of the Depart-

ment’s civilian personnel. Furloughs for up to 11 days represent about half of the 22 days that can legally be imposed in a year and also about half the number originally planned.

“This halving of previous furlough plans reflects vigorous efforts to meet our budgetary shortfalls through actions other than furloughs as well as Congressional passage of an appropriations bill in late March that reduced the shortfalls in our operating budget and expectations of Congressional action on our reprogramming request,” Hagel said in the memorandum.

“Furloughs will be imposed in every military department as well as almost every agency and in our working capital funds. All of our civilian employees are important, and I would prefer not to furlough any of them. However, there will only be limited exceptions driven by law and by the need to minimize harm to mission execution,” the memorandum explained.

“We will except civilians deployed to combat zones and civilians necessary to protect life and property, but only to the extent needed to provide that protection.

A few categories of workers will be excepted for specific mission reasons while some categories of workers will be excepted because furloughing them would not free up money for critical DoD mission needs.

Fewer than one fifth of all civilians

paid with appropriated funds will be excepted from furloughs.

The planning and implementation of furloughs will be carried out based on the schedule below: • May 28 – June 5: Furlough proposal notices will be served to individual employees subject to furloughs.

• June 4 – June 12: Individual employee reply periods end seven calendar days from when the proposal was received, unless component procedures allow for a different reply period.

• June 5 – July 5: Furlough decision letters will be served to individual employees subject to furloughs, depending on when the proposal was received and prior to the first day of furlough.

• July 8: Furlough period begins no earlier than this date.

Furloughs will begin on July 8 at the rate of one furlough day per week for most personnel. According to the memorandum, planned furloughs will continue through the end of Fiscal Year 2013. That schedule would lead to 11 furlough days – one fifth of the week for about one quarter of the year.

In the memorandum, Hagel said he has directed all components to monitor funding closely for the remainder of FY 2013. If the budgetary situation permits an early end to furloughs, he would strongly prefer to do so and said he would make the decision later in the year.

Consistent with Tuesday’s memo and

with applicable laws and rules, commanders and managers will have the authority to develop the specifics of furlough procedures in order to minimize adverse mission effects and limit the harm to morale and productivity. Further union bargaining may also be required.

The under secretary for Personnel and Readiness has already issued guidance as appropriate regarding personnel and union issues related to furloughs and will issue additional guidance as needed. The memo said overall coordination of sequester and furlough policies will be the responsibility of the under secretary of Defense (Comptroller).

In the memorandum, Hagel recognized the important contribution DoD’s civilian employees make to the department’s readiness to meet the nation’s national security needs. He also recognized the decision to impose furloughs imposes financial burdens, harms overall morale and corrodes the long-term ability of the department to carry out the national defense mission.

“I deeply regret this decision. I will continue to urge that our nation’s leaders reach an agreement to reduce the deficit and de-trigger sequestration. If no agreement is reached, I will continue to look for ways to limit the adverse effects of sequestration and associated budgetary shortfalls both on the men and women of the Department of Defense, and on our national defense,” Hagel said.

Motorcycle safety and mentorship - keep informed Story and photo by Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

The Headquarters and Headquarters Company, United States Army Garrison, or HHC USAG, Fort Huachuca, hosted a Motorcycle Mentorship Program group ride and safety training event, May 9, to promote safe and fun riding.

Historically, motorcycle mishaps kill an average of 42 Soldiers per year, according to the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/ Safety Center. In attempt to lessen this number, the Army vice chief of staff issued a memorandum in 2011 focusing on the importance of establishing mentorship programs.

The Motorcycle Mentorship Program is an operational link between unit commanders and the riders, focused on improving and sustaining motorcycle safety.

This program and its events allow experienced riders to mentor new riders through their transition, ensuring that they become safe and disciplined motorcyclists.

This event was a requirement for all HHC USAG military riders, and was considered their place of duty. Thirteen people

participated in the event, and the only cost was each person’s gas and food.

The event began at 8 a.m. in the HHC parking lot, where a short brief was given covering group riding safety. From there, the group rode to Cochise Motorsports in Sierra Vista.

Capt. Mark Bottorff, HHC USAG company commander, said, “Cochise Motorsports provided excellent support to our event by allowing us to use their location.

One of their maintenance techs [Bobby Hickman] gave us thorough instruction on basic maintenance checks that contribute to safe riding. Everyone participating was involved in the conversation about inspections, which resulted in several tangents to other safety topics.”

After the instruction, the group took the scenic route through the surrounding communities of Bisbee and Tombstone.

“The ride to Bisbee and Tombstone was fun and social, the [lunch] food and hospitality at Big Nose Kate’s was great, and the weather was excellent,” Bottorff said. “We had some inexperienced riders and some very experienced riders. In the end, I think everyone found a way to both contribute

to the event and to learn something new.”

As the weather warms up, motorcyclists on post will take to the roads in increased numbers. It is important to stay up-to-date on the current regulations and safety measures specific to Fort Huachuca, as well as keeping a sharp awareness of surroundings while operating a motorcycle.

The Fort Huachuca Directorate of Emergency Services enforces safe motor vehicle operations in accordance with Regulation 190-5 Change 2. Military personnel who wish to operate a motorcycle on Fort Huachuca must complete an approved motorcycle safety course and carry their completion certificate with them while riding.

All Soldiers and civilians must wear proper gear when riding on post, to include: a commercial or road guard reflective vest; a reflective belt around a back pack, if carried; a U.S. Department of Transportation approved helmet fastened under the chin; impact or shatter resistant goggles or a fullface shield attached to the helmet; a longsleeved shirt or jacket and long trousers; full-fingered gloves; and sturdy, leather boots or over-the-ankle footwear.

For more information about the Motorcycle Mentorship Program, visit http://safety.army.mil/mmp or call 533.0932. For motorcycle safety regulations and requirements, call the Directorate of Emergency Services, 533.3482.

Members of various organizations met at Cochise Motorsports in Sierra Vista as part of a Motorcycle Mentorship Program event, May 9. After the training session, the group rode through Bisbee and Tombstone, stopping for lunch and then completing the event back at Fort Huachuca.

Physical fitness and nutrition By Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

Since 1984, May has been recognized Army-wide as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, and Fort Huachuca plays an active role in promoting and participating in the many events held to raise awareness of the benefits of exercising and eating better.

In honor of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, the 2013 Army Strong B.A.N.D.S. campaign is underway

Hua SportS and FitneSS Participants reach the finish line of the May 4 six-mile qualifying race for the Army 10-Miler in October. This race was designated as one of the three Strong B.A.N.D.S. events that Fort Huachuca hosted this month.

through this month, encouraging Soldiers and their Families to work towards Balance, Activity, Nutrition, Determination and Strength to enhance their lifestyle.

The theme of this year’s campaign is “Strong-ReadyResilient Soldiers, Families and Communities.”

This year, 71 installations are participating in the Strong B.A.N.D.S. campaign, and Fort Huachuca is on that list. Each location can host three fitness events.

Carole Herr, Strong B.A.N.D.S. coordinator, explained, “They pick a minimum of three events that they want to highlight. We’re not asking them to create new programs, just to highlight existing programs to help generate extra buzz and participation in a class or program that already exists.”

The Fort Huachuca Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Directorate has already held some events. The six-mile qualifying run, to place for the Army ten-miler in October, took place on May 4. Soldiers and Families experienced the fun of the Where-Is-It? Scavenger Hunt on May 11.

Today, Fort Huachuca Sports, Fitness and Aquatics will host the Strong B.A.N.D.S. Indoor Triathlon, beginning at 8 a.m. at Barnes Field House.

“We at Fort Huachuca love putting on fitness activities,” said Leslie Woods, chief of Sports, Fitness and Aquatics.

“The added emphasis of May being the National Sports and Fitness Month just further encourages folks to get out and move for recreation. It’s the best time of the year to be outside in Southern Arizona.”

While May is dedicated as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, Fort Huachuca offers a variety of physical fitness and nutritional options that assist people with staying in shape and maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout the entire year.

Hua SportS and FitneSS Jeanna Lee, Eifler Fitness Center manager, explained the rules of the event at the start of the Where-Is-It? scavenger hunt on May 11.

This was an opportunity for Family members to get together and participate in a fun, outdoor activity.

The two fitness facilities on post, Barnes Field Hous and Eifler Fitness Center, provide activities, services an equipment to suit most everyone’s needs. These includ basketball, volleyball and racquetball courts; weigh rooms; an indoor, heated pool; an outdoor 400-mete track; group fitness classes; and one-on-one, fee-for-se vice personal training.

Fort Huachuca, allowing units to compete against each other in flag football, cross-country running, basketball, racquetball, soccer, softball, golf and volleyball.

Other Fort Huachuca options for keeping fit include golfing at the Mountain View Gold Course, hitting balls at the batting cages, playing paintball at Pauley Field or hiking in the Huachuca Mountains.

While keeping active plays a large part of a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet is just as beneficial. Those who have access to Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center are invited to visit the nutrition clinic for information on what to eat to promote a healthy lifestyle or to achieve a certain health-related goal.

Sonia Blodgett, a Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center nutritionist, explained that a lower fat, lower cholesterol and higher fiber diet can decrease the risk of developing diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

“Good nutrition plays a role in improving overall health and can decrease the risk of developing certain diseases later in life,” she said. “Individuals that are overweight or obese tend to develop blood sugar or blood pressure problems at a younger age. Proper nutrition promotes a healthy body weight.”

To contact the nutrition clinic, call 533.9033 or 533.2066.

The National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is designed to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity and healthy nutrition, at home, at work and in the community. Warmer weather offers more opportunities to get the entire Family outside together, riding bicycles, playing with the dog or grilling healthy foods on the grill.

In his 2013 National Physical Fitness and Sports Month proclamation, President Barack Obama said, “Alongside our friends and Family, let each of us recommit to leading a healthy, active lifestyle, and setting our children on the path to a brighter future.”

Regardless of how it is done, make healthy living a way of life.

President proclaims May as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2013 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Over the past three years, communities all across America have joined First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative, which aims to help parents make healthy choices and give our children a strong start. Today, families have more of the tools and know-how they need to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Kids and adults are finding new ways to bring exercise into their daily lives. And by getting active, our youngest generation is not only improving their health, but also their ability to learn and be successful later in life. During National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, we celebrate that progress and keep striving for more.

To help more kids and families get moving and make exercise a lifelong habit, we are working to create more opportunities for physical activity - whether on the playground, in the classroom, or at work. Through Let’s Move! and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition, we continue to advance that mission by collaborating with partners in every corner of our country - public and private, large and small, national and neighborhood. Together, we are helping cities, towns, and counties raise a healthier generation of kids. And earlier this year, we built on that work by launching a new program to bring physical activity back to our schools. To learn more and join in, visit www.LetsMove.gov and www.Fitness.gov.

With simple steps, all of us can make physical activity a way of life. This month, we recognize Americans who are choosing that future for themselves and inspiring others to do the same. We also take this opportunity to renew the call to action. I encourage business, faith, and community leaders to uphold physical activity as an important way to enrich our neighborhoods. I call on schools to make good health and exercise part of a good education. And alongside our friends and family, let each of us recommit to leading a healthy, active lifestyle, and setting our children on the path to a bright future.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2013 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. I call upon the people of the United States to make daily physical activity, sports participation, and good nutrition a priority in their lives.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

Soldier Show entertains here Monday, Tuesday Story and photo by Tim Hipps IMCOM Public Affairs

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Get set to be entertained by “Ready and Resilient,” the 2013 U.S. Army Soldier Show, currently performing at selected military installations during its four-month tour.

The Soldier Show takes place on Fort Huachuca Monday and Tuesday, 7 p.m., in Barnes Field House. No tickets are needed for the free performances, and everyone with instal-

lation access is welcome. Seating is limited, so plan early arrival.

The 75-minute song-and-dance production by active duty, Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers uses music to put an entertaining spin on how Soldiers and their Families maintain readiness and resiliency.

“We had to take a good look at what the Army says makes troops and their families ready and resilient and what mechanisms the country and the world in general are offering to help with resilience,” said Soldier Show Artistic

Director Victor Hurtado. “And helping with readiness because you know there’s a good chance that you’re going back out again, so you better be ready.

Hurtado promises there is something for everyone who watches the show. Tributes are paid to the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 75th anniversary of “God Bless America,” the 60th anniversary of the Armistice of the Korean War, and the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War. This

year also marks the 30th anniversary of the modern era of the U.S. Army Soldier Show.

“Every American, military-affiliated or not, will be able to see themselves in the show,” Hurtado said.

“The fact that the show is entertaining someone is already taking them away [from their mindset], but the messaging is going to inspire. We know they are coming to be entertained, but further, the content in the show is designed to hopefully be a time-released pool of inspiration.”

Powerlifters win big in Tucson

By Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Four months of training at Eifler Gym paid off for three Fort Huachuca powerlifters May 4. Zachary Moss, Eifler Fitness Center lead recreation assistant; retired Master Sgt. Edward Yarbrough, formerly with the U.S. Marine Corps. Detachment here; and Victoria Yarbrough, City of Sierra Vista Leisure and Library Services director, competed in the United States Powerlifting Federation’s Region 7 Championship meet at Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson.

Moss, and both Yarbrough spouses, competed in the same event, a full meet, which included the squat, bench press, dead lift and three of their best lifts. Both members of the Yarbrough couple set state, Region 7 and American records in the event. Moss took second place

Edward Yarbrough competes in the deadlift portion of the United States Powerlifting Federation’s Region 7 Championship May 4.

He lifted 250 kilograms, equivalent to about 551 pounds.

Victoria Yarbrough, Leisure and Library Services director, City of Sierra Vista, lifts 147.5 kilograms during the squat portion of the United States Powerlifting Federation’s Region 7 Championship meet. The competition took place May 4 at Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson.

in the 242-pound class.

“It was a great competition, I haven’t competed in two and a half years,” Victoria said. “I had shoulder surgery just over a year ago, so it was my first competition since the surgery, and I had a great time. I thought it was very well-handled, and I was pleased with what I did.”

For Moss, the Tucson meet helped him get into the competitive spirit. He mentioned that in a previous competition, he was the only contender in his weight class.

“It was nice to have some competition and be competitive,” he said.

Moss started powerlifting 18 months ago with the Yarbrough at Eifler Gym. All three trained as raw powerlifters four to five times a week. “Raw” means no supportive equipment is used other than a weight belt. Edward not only competes but coaches. He described the raw category as a “more natural and better indicator of true strength.

“Form and the technical aspects of the lift are very

important to prevent injury and to maintain optimal mechanics,” he explained. “There are different training considerations to take into account because you don’t get any advantage from additional support.”

Going from training to competition mode, Edward said how a powerlifter must keep full concentration and start the lift the same way and the right way it is supposed to be executed so the rest falls into place.

“You can tell they definitely have to train hard; it’s not something that comes overnight,” Jeanna Lee, Eifler Gym facility manager said. Lee attended the meet in Tucson.

The Yarbrough and Moss compete all under the United States Powerlifting Federation. Moss will compete again on June 8 in Phoenix. The Yarbroughs will compete again in September.

A Healthier Future, Starting Today.

Welcome!

REGIONALCARE IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH SIERRA VISTA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER We’re excited to welcome the healthcare professionals of Sierra Vista Regional Health Center to RegionalCare Hospital Partners’ family of hospitals. The physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals of SVRHC share a belief with our over 5000 team members that “the heart of healthcare is service to others.”

And with that belief comes a commitment to providing the best healthcare available to the people of Sierra Vista and southeast Arizona. The legacy of care that SVRHC represents will continue to grow as our partnership dedicates itself to taking healthcare to a new level of excellence.

Just take a look at how this new partnership is building a stronger, healthier future.

• Planning is already underway for a new 100-bed regional hospital on the 70-acre “East Campus” tract of land already owned by SVRHC. Groundbreaking is slated for later this year, with construction expected to be completed in 18 months.

• $11 million in capital investments between now and the opening of the new hospital will enhance medical services and add new technology.

• RegionalCare will also invest $18 million in physician recruitment over the next seven years to bring more than 25 physicians to the medical staff and community.

RegionalCare Hospital Partners is proud to be part of this historic day and the beginning of a healthier future for us all.
