Two Memorial Day services unite community in remembrance Story and photos by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Two different services were held on Monday in honor of those who have sacrificed and died in the service of the nation. The first took place at the Fort Huachuca Cemetery early afternoon, while the second was held at the Southern Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery in the early evening. Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca commanding general, delivered a Memorial Day message at each ceremony, and took the role of keynote speaker during the evening event. “Today, we honor heroes. What is a hero? It is someone who has given his or her life to be something bigger than themselves,” Ashley said at the evening service. “These men and women to whom we pay tribute on this Memorial Day have done just that, and they share a very common bond with those Soldiers today.” Another key point made during speeches at each service stressed how

Americans have and always will honor fallen veterans, even those who are not yet located, Ashley stated. “We are tireless in our search for the remains for missing servicemen, because it is simply the right thing to do. No matter how much time passes, we honor their sacrifice by not leaving them behind and not letting them be forgotten.” Attendees included active-duty Soldiers, retired military, veterans, Families and members of the Sierra Vista community. For Spc. Sean Germany, 18th Military Police Detachment, Memorial Day means honoring other military Family members. Saluting the flag during the afternoon ceremony had a special meaning. “I have a World War II [veteran] grandfather back in California who is still alive and I render the salute to him for his services,” he said. Also in attendance at each service were dignitaries representing Congress and state and local political offices. Congressman Ron Barber, U.S. House of Representatives, found the

afternoon ceremony moving. “I think it’s important for all of us to come together to remember those who have given their lives for our country,” he said, explaining that his father was a World War II and Korean War veteran. Barber added how much he appreciated the reading of the Memorial Day proclamation. “It reminds us that this memorial has been going on now for almost 150 years,” he said. Each service honored Soldiers, veterans and retired military forces in a traditional manner. Wreaths at

both locations were placed by dignitaries and guests of honor. The Fort Huachuca Select Honor Guard carried the nation’s colors and fired gun salutes at both events. At the afternoon ceremony, the firing of cannons could be heard from the Post Cemetery following the gun salute. Veterans’ groups played a prominent role at both services. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9972 participated in the afternoon ceremony, and the Thunder Mountain Detachment 1283 of the Marine Corps League hosted the evening ceremony. See MEMORIAL, page 8A

CSA shares thoughts on sexual assault and sexual harassment By Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Raymond Odierno

Over the last twelve years of war, our Army has demonstrated exceptional competence, courage, and resiliency in adapting to the demands of war and accomplishing the mission. Today, however, the Army is failing in its efforts to combat sexual assault and sexual harassment. It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment as our primary mission. It is up to every one of us, civilian and Soldier, general officer to private, to solve this problem within our ranks. The Army is committed to the safety and security of every Soldier, civilian, and Family member. Our Army is based on a bedrock of trust - the trust between Soldiers and leaders that we will take care of each other. Recent incidents of sexual assault and sexual harassment demonstrate that we have violated that trust. In fact, these acts violate everything our Army stands for. They are contrary to our Army Values and they must not be tolerated. It is up to every individual to contribute to a culture in which our Soldiers, civilians, and Family members can reach their full potential. It is imperative that we protect potential victims from ever experiencing a sexual crime. We must provide compassionate care and protect survivors after a crime has been committed. Our people must be confident that complaints will be handled quickly and decisively, and that our system will deliver justice and protection throughout the reporting, investigation and adjudication process. Commanders, noncommissioned officers, and law enforcement must ensure that every allegation of sexual assault and sexual harassment is thoroughly and profes-

sionally investigated and that appropriate action is taken. Leaders at every level are responsible for establishing a command climate and culture of mutual respect, trust, and safety. Leaders must develop systems to “see” their units, and understand the extent to which their leadership promotes a positive command climate for all Soldiers. I urge everyone to start a conversation within your unit or organization, among leaders, peers and subordinates and with family and friends to better understand one another’s experiences and to develop better solutions to this problem. Our profession is built on the bedrock of trust; sexual assault and sexual harassment betray that trust. They have a corrosive effect on our unit readiness, team cohesion, good order and discipline. We are entrusted with ensuring the health and welfare of America’s sons and daughters. There are no bystanders in this effort. Our Soldiers, their Families, and the American people are counting on us to lead the way in solving this problem within our ranks. The strength of our Nation is our Army The strength of our Army is our Soldiers The strength of our Soldiers is our Families. This is what makes us Army Strong!

“I feel like the screening process to join the military in general isn’t stringent enough. Too many dirt bags have squeezed their way into the [military] with high PT (physical training) scores or ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) scores, but I feel there should be more personal questions to see where their head is at.”

Commissary here plans for Tuesday furloughs By Kevin Robinson, DeCA public affairs specialist

FORT LEE, Va. – When furloughs are implemented, most military commissaries will close one day a week on Mondays, said the director and CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency, or DeCA. The closures will be for up to 11 days between July 8 and Sept. 30. Closing commissaries on Mondays would be in addition to any day stores are routinely closed. The 148 stores that routinely close on Mondays would also close the next normal day of operation. Other than the furlough day, there are no other changes planned for store operation hours. Since the Fort Huachuca Commissary is normally closed on Monday, the store will be closed on Tuesday during the furlough period, according to Judy Mendez, commissary store director. The announcement comes as DeCA follows Department of Defense protocols related to the automatic federal government budget reductions, known as sequestration, which began March 1. Like most DoD activities, DeCA is mandated by the Department to furlough its civil service employees. Furlough notices are scheduled to be delivered to DeCA employees through Wednesday.

DeCA has 247 commissaries with more than 16,000 employees operating in 13 countries and two U.S. territories. Furloughs will impact all of DeCA’s more than 14,000 U.S. civilian employees. “We know that any disruption in commissary operations will impact our patrons,” said Joseph Jeu, DeCA’s director and CEO. “Also, we understand the tremendous burden this places on our employees, who, when furloughed, will lose 20 percent of their pay. As sequestration continues, commissary customers can quickly find out about any changes to their local store’s operating schedule by going to www.commissaries.com, clicking on the “Locations” tab, then “Alphabetical Listing,” finding their store and clicking on “local store information.” Patrons are reminded that because sequestration is so fluid, DeCA’s plan for this budget-cutting measure is subject to change. DeCA decided on Monday closures after weighing the potential disruption to patrons and suppliers of having rolling furloughs, where closure dates would differ from store to store. Universal Monday closures are less disruptive to shoppers and the agency’s industry partners – vendors, suppliers and distributors – who deliver products daily to DeCA’s commissaries.

Store staffs overseas include a mix of U.S. and local national employees. Because they are not U.S. government employees, local national employees are not subject to this furlough actions. Select locations overseas will open if they have an adequate local national staff. However, if an overseas store is closed, its local national staff will report to work and perform other store-related duties. In January, DoD released guidance to allow defense components to plan for potential budget cuts by reducing operating costs. In line with that direction, DeCA later executed the following budget-cutting measures: * A hiring freeze on all outside hires * Curtailment of official travel for all conferences, training and any other events and activities considered noncritical to the agency’s mission

* Cancellation of the agency’s May Worldwide Case Lot Sales for all commissaries. Instead, stores are conducting smaller-scale events such as outdoor sidewalk sales * Curtailment of all overtime and compensatory time unless deemed mission-critical * Review of contract services to restrict any increases * Curtailment of all monetary awards unless legally required * Postponement of all Guard and Reserve on-site sales scheduled after July 8 until further notice “We are in this together,” Jeu said, “and though limited in our ability by circumstances we cannot control, I assure you we will do all we can to mitigate the impact of sequestration on our patrons, employees and industry partners, and on our mission.”

Firefighter training underway

Small fires being lit on FH roadway corridor The fire department is conducting wildland firefighting certification training through June 7. As part of the training, firefighters will ignite small spot fires along the grass corridor between Squire and Railroad Avenues. The vegetation is very low and between two barriers. The flame and smoke level will also be minimal. Each training session will last about one hour each day.

Tucson-based SAVAHCS receives award for performance excellence Southern Arizona VA Health Care System

Tucson – The Southern Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System, or SAVAHCS, received the prestigious 2012 Robert W. Carey Performance Excellence “Trophy Award” May 16 at their Tucson complex. The VA Under Secretary for Health Robert Petzel, M.D., presented the award to SAVAHCS Director Jonathan Gardner. The Robert W. Carey Awards, presented annually, recognizes department organizations that have demonstrated organizational performance excellence in: leadership; strategic planning; customer and market focus; measurement, analysis; knowledge management; workforce resource focus; process management; and results. The Robert W. Carey Award selection committee applies the same criteria as those used for internationally and nationally recognized Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence awards, sponsored by the Department of Commerce. This criteria provides a model for organizations to assess their quality transformation efforts, organizational effectiveness, and performance in delivering service and satisfying customers. SAVAHCS is a Tucson community health care provider to more than 177,000 veterans residing in eight counties in southern Arizona and one county in western New Mexico. It also maintains seven community based outpatient clinics in Safford, Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Casa Grande, Yuma, Northwest and Southeast Tucson. SAVAHCS is also a regional referral center for VA facilities in five surrounding states. SAVAHCS provides veterans with comprehensive care through: primary care; tertiary care; acute care; medicine; physical medicine; rehabilitation; oncology; dentistry; geriatric; women’s health; surgery; neurology; traumatic brain injury; mental health; telehealth and other health care initiatives.

Military Intelligence – this week in history Nolan becomes Army’s first G2 (Intelligence) officer By Ruth Quinn, Staff Historian USAICoE Command History Office

May 28, 1917 When Gen. John Pershing took command of the American Expeditionary Forces, or AEF, in June 1917, his entire combat force consisted of a small headquarters and a division of infantry troops, with no staff organization or intelligence assets. Seventeen months later, the AEF

had grown into a force of 29 combat divisions. Pershing’s staff section included a full-fledged theater intelligence center engaged in a wider range of intelligence activities than anywhere else in the United States military. Once in Europe, Pershing decided to adopt the French staff system throughout the AEF: Administrative (G-1), Intelligence (G-2), Operations (G-3), Logistics (G-4) and Training (G-5). Pershing selected Maj. Dennis Nolan, with whom he had served in Mexico, as the head of his G-2 section. Nolan moved into his first headquarters in Paris, sharing an office with his entire staff section - two officers and two clerks – and immediately set out to study how the French and British armies structured their intelligence sections. He then proceeded to build the AEF G-2 from scratch. The General Staff organization was repeated in tactical units down to the battalion level. Each level, therefore, had its own intelligence staff and organic intelligence assets, and the intelligence officers at each echelon were

expected to look at progressively further distances behind enemy lines. When Nolan took over as head of the Intelligence Section on May 28, 1917, he became the Army’s first G-2. Nolan organized the G-2 Section following the British example, dividing duties amongst four principal divisions: Information, Secret Service, Topographical, and the Censorship and Press Divisions. This structure was an overlapping and mutually supporting intelligence system that stretched from the AEF Headquarters in Chaumont, France, to the front lines of the war. In addition to the traditional methods of intelligence collection: patrolling, observation, prisoner interrogation and document translation, Nolan added aerial observation, aerial photography and radio intelligence. Nolan also initiated the Corps of Intelligence Police, or CIP, a group of 50 enlisted specialists who spoke French fluently and had experience in investigative work. The CIP, which would eventually become the Counter Intelligence Corps in 1942, was a permanent counterintelli-

gence organization that outlived the war into peacetime. Many of the soldiers who were assigned to the AEF’s intelligence teams did not have formal intelligence training. The AEF had to improvise; they started an intelligence school at Langres, France, in 1918. Interrogation and Document Exploitation were taught at this school. Nolan’s G-2 organization was the largest to date, incorporating a number of modern disciplines and intelligence functions for the first time: Acoustic Intelligence, Communications Security, Photo Intelligence, Signals Intelligence and Counter Intelligence. By the time Germany signed the Armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, the AEF had evolved into a modern, combat-tested army recognized as one of the best in the world. The efficiency of the intelligence service helped contribute to the American Army’s success, and Nolan was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal “for organizing and administering the A.E.F. intelligence service.”

Runion Dental Clinic rolls out new initiative Story and photo by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Summer is a time to sink your teeth into corn on the cob, watermelon and barbecued ribs, but starting tomorrow, Runion Dental Clinic staff wants permanent party service member dental patients to also start thinking about dental health. With its “Go First Class” initiative, or GFC, patients will see combined appointments to avoid going back and forth between the dental clinic and their units. “By combining the appointments, it creates more appointments, so it increases access to care,” Col. Julio Gonzales, dental clinic commander, said. For example, a dental exam and cleaning will be performed in one visit. Another combination appointment will consist of a dental exam, cleaning and simple fillings. The goal of GFC is to reduce the number of appointments needed for patients to reach full readiness of “class one” from two or three visits to one visit. “Class one” signifies that a Soldier does not need any dental care until their next annual exam. This is what Runion Dental Clinic staff considers “dental wellness.” “Class two” means that a cleaning or filling is needed, while “class three”

means the Soldier is looking at a potential dental emergency within the next six months and is nondeployable. “Class four” signifies that a Soldier is overdue for an annual exam. “When we increase the access to care, it allows the patient to come in, and then they’re less likely to become ‘class three,’” Gonzales said. Since February, Runion Dental Clinic has combined exams and cleanings. According to Gonzales, the combination appointments receive positive comments and boost patient satisfaction. The results show 98 percent readiness and 51 percent

wellness. “That 51 percent is unheard of; we’re the one of highest in the region, and it will likely increase,” Gonzales said. In June, all exam appointments will go through GFC, with the exception of specific “walk-ins.” Gonzales also stresses

that if people cannot keep an appointment, patients must cancel 24 hours prior. This helps all appointment times to remain filled. One failed appointment costs approximately $373, so a missed GFC appointment could cause a $819 loss. To schedule, call 533.3147/3447.

Warm, dry season means increased fire potential in Southwest By Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

As the weather gets warmer, outdoor activities increase. To ensure that fun continues safely, always bear fire prevention and safety in mind. Starting at the beginning of spring, brush and vegetation begin to dry out, creating prime conditions for wildfires. To avoid accidentally starting a wildfire, bear these important tips in mind: * Fireworks are prohibited yearround on Fort Huachuca * Never leave campsite or picnic fires unattended * Always completely extinguish a campsite or picnic fire

We’re Making Sierra Vista

* Avoid parking vehicles in tall grass * Pick up broken glass to avoid magnification fires * Do not throw cigarettes outside of a vehicle * Never dispose of hot coals in a trash receptacle Fire conditions are posted in various locations around Fort Huachuca.

From WARM, page 6A canyons.” These conditions are subject to change at any time. To verify current conditions, call the Fort Huachuca Fire Dispatch, 533.2116. While the spring and summer months can be appealing to the Fort Huachuca camping community, campers or picnickers must follow certain safety precautions prior to entering the canyons. In order to camp or picnic in any of the Fort Huachuca areas, people must visit Morale, Welfare and Recreation Rents, or MWR Rents, to obtain a camping or picnic permit. Once applicants receive a permit, they must inform Fire Dispatch so there is adequate coverage in case of an emergency. Linardy said, “If you are going into the canyons [on Fort Huachuca] notify the Fire Dispatch and let them know that you are going to be there. We need to know how many people you have in the canyons with you, chaperones, what your intentions are ... a phone number. If you plan to have a fire, we need to know when you start it and when it is extinguished, and then call us again when you come out of the canyons.” Be it camping, unit organizations, family barbeques or day-to-day activities, following these tips can prevent a fire from starting. Arizona’s arid climate can be conducive to small fires, which can escalate rapidly. For non-emergency fire safety and prevention questions, call the Fort Huachuca Fire Dispatch.

After nearly 50 years, signal he By Maj. Jennifer Butler 11 Signal Brigade PAO

After nearly 50 years on Fort Huachuca, Headquarters and Headquarters, 11th Signal Brigade, is relocating. On June 7, at 9 a.m. on Brown Parade Field, the 11th Signal Brigade will conduct its final change of command ceremony on post, case their unit colors, and prepare to move to Fort Hood, Texas. Col. Patrick Dedham will relinquish command of the “Desert Thunderbirds” to Col. James Parks III. Parks’ first act as brigade commander will be to case the colors for the last time here, later unfurling them at Fort Hood, Texas. The 40th Expeditionary Signal Battalion will remain on Fort Huachuca. The 11th Signal Group arrived on post Dec. 8, 1966, after relocating here from Fort Lewis, Wash. The unit was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 11th Signal Brigade, on Oct. 1, 1979. On Oct. 1, 2009, the 11th Sig.

Bde. transferred command authority from the U. S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command and the 9th Army Signal Command on Fort Huachuca, to the U.S. Army Forces Command and III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas. On Feb. 18, the Department of Defense approved the relocation of the 11th Signal Brigade Headquarters from Fort Huachuca to Fort Hood, Texas. This force structure action will position 11th Signal Brigade Headquarters with their higher headquarters, III Corps. After arrival at the Texas installation, the unit will uncase its colors on June 26, signaling that repositioning of the unit at Fort Hood is complete. Throughout its history, the 11th Sig. Bde., the most deployed signal unit in the Army, has experienced many farewells and reunions with Families, friends and fellow Soldiers. Members of the unit have deployed from Fort Huachuca to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Somalia, Egypt, Honduras, Korea, Cuba, Haiti, Afghanistan and Iraq. This past December, the 11th Sig. Bde., experienced its most recent

return from a deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The support from U. S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command and Fort Huachuca has enabled Soldiers to carry out Soldier training, deployments and reunions effectively and

efficiently while the unit was located on the installation. Signal leaders say that both Fort Huachuca and the City of Sierra Vista will not be forgotten. The unit’s relationship with the two entities will be part of the unit’s history which will begin a new chapter with the 11th Sig. Bde.’s relocation at Fort Hood.

Plan a stay-cation around Sierra Vista Scout reports

Shadowed by the 9,500-foot peaks of the Huachuca Mountains, Sierra Vista, at an altitude of 4,650-feet, escapes much of the summer heat that settles into other Arizona valleys. The monsoon rains bring forth a waterfall that cascades from Carr Peak and is visible for miles. At this time of year, colorful wildflowers bloom roadside and hummingbirds, along with almost 200 other species, can be seen at their summer home. Bring binoculars and visit the Nature Conservancy’s Ramsey Canyon Preserve. At 6,300 feet, it is considered a

premier birding and hiking area. With at least 14 species of hummingbirds migrating through the canyon, Sierra Vista is known as “the hummingbird capital of the U.S.” Like to hike? Then consider the 40 miles of hiking trails along the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area.

Check the scheduled dates for the docent-led walks and encourage your children to learn about birds, wildlife, history and the environment. Those who find ancient cultures intriguing can visit local archaeological sites or ghost town ruins. Artifacts from the Clovis people and bones from a prehistoric mammoth have been found at the Murray Springs Clovis Site, where on a self-guided, self-paced interpretive tour, hikers can relive the Pleistocene Era, also known as the Ice Age. The 40 miles of mountain bike trails in the Huachuca Mountains range from easy to difficult, with enough variety to satisfy people who enjoy mountain biking. The riparian area along the San Pedro River corridor is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and includes several ghost towns, such as Fairbank, Millville and Charleston. The Millville-Charleston trail, located off Charleston Road, forks to the Petroglyph Discovery Trail. The Petroglyph Discovery Trail takes hikers to two Hohokam rock art sites, depicting human and animal figures and geometric forms. At the site, there are interpretive signs explaining what the figures and forms may mean and describes the people who made them. Fairbank is located near the San Pedro River and is often mentioned as a “ghost town.” It was considered a large town during the 1800s, with a schoolhouse, mercantile, saloon and other buildings and businesses. The cemetery is located approximately 1/4-mile from the Townsite, on a hillock overlooking the rugged terrain. Along the entrance trail to Fort Bowie National Historic Site is a cemetery where three Chiricahua Apache children are buried. One is Little Robe, the 2-year-old son of Geronimo. Historians differ as to how the child died. In 1885, escalating conflicts between Geronimo and the U.S. Army led to the capture of 30 Chiricahua Apache women and children. They were thought to have been brought to Fort Bowie to be used as bait to lure Geronimo and the

Registration now open for SKIESUnlimited Summer Swim Program By Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

As the weather gets hotter, splashing around in the pool is one way for children to cool off during the summer break. Before the big plunge however, remember that water safety is always the numberone rule, especially for the younger swimmers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children 14. Their website

states that “formal swimming lessons can prevent young children from drowning.” Taught by certified water safety instructors at Irwin Pool, the SKIESUnlimited Summer Swim Program is offered here at Fort Huachuca, to help children become comfortable in the water and teach them basic water safety. To ensure that adequate focus is provided for each person, each class has no more than six children. The program is broken into two sessions of swim lessons, and each session costs $35. Registration for the first session

is already underway. It will run June 10 13 and June 17 - 20. Registration will open June 14 for the second session, which will run July 8 - 11 and July 15 - 18. Several levels of instruction, from preschool to level 6, take place from 10 a.m. through 1:45 p.m. Each lesson is 45 minutes long. During the times that swim lessons are conducted, Irwin Pool will be closed to the public. Families are not allowed to bring siblings to swim while their children are in class. Children must have a valid swim card showing the last level completed if

they have previously taken swim lessons through the SKIESUnlimited Summer Swim Program. If not, call to schedule a swim test for the child before registering him or her for classes. To register or for more information about the classes, visit Parent Central Services located in Building 52111 or call 533.0738. Note: Prior to registering for swim lessons, all participants must be registered with the Child, Youth and School Services Program. For CYS Services registration, call 533.0738.
