NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

NDW to offer Motorcycle Safety courses Story by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Pedro A. Rodriguez

Naval District Washington’s (NDW) safety office will offer Sailors, drilling reservists, retirees and dependents the Navy motorcycle safety course starting March 16.

Eligible riders can sign up online at www .navymotorcyclerider.com and click on the “enroll” link. Once inside the website, members would have to select “Traffic Safety” and “Naval District Washington” on the region drop down menu, and select the month they would like to sign up for a class.

“This is a great course aimed to make our Sailors more aware of the dangers while riding a motorcycle,” said Barbara Vanderberg, NDW regional safety program director.

The courses will be offered at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, and Joint Base AnacostiaBolling starting in March and continuing throughout November 2015.

Vandenberg added that the courses offered will be for different level of riders: new riders,

experienced riders, advance riders, and for those who are sports bike riders.

She explained that the courses this year will be taught by a new contractor and that some of the challenges faced with last year’s classes have been addressed.

“I would like to encourage Sailors to sign up for these courses, because there’s a new contract in place and we won’t have the same problems that we had in the past with our old contractor,” said Vanderberg.

“There is also a maximum of six people who can sign up per class and a minimum of four has to be signed up two days before the class, military members will have priority over other riders which will be placed on standby in case somebody cancels at the last minute or the class is not full by the date set to start.”

Active duty Sailors and drilling reservists must sign up using the website only, and retirees and dependents can call their closest safety office for more information.

Navy officials roll out Navy Fiscal Year 16 Budget

By Rear Adm. William Lescher Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Budget

Today the Department of the Navy submitted our FY16 budget request of $161.0 billion to Congress. Here’s what it means for the Navy.

In a challenging fiscal context, this request provides the investment required for the Navy and Marine Corps to execute the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review mission set, ranging from providing an effective nuclear deterrent and fighting terrorism in order to protect the Homeland, to providing a stabilizing presence across the globe in order to build security globally, to projecting power and winning decisively when called upon. The budget request reflects the Secretary of the Navy’s, Chief of Naval Operations’ and Commandant of the Marine Corps’ implementation of the strategic guidance.

Across a spectrum of focused investments, hard choices, and innovation and reform initiatives, the budget resources a dominant forward postured, sea-based force with balanced capacity, capability and readiness.

Focused Investment The request sustains naval presence and readiness worldwide, and continues the rebalance to the Pacific. Operations and maintenance accounts are prioritized to properly fund ship steaming days, flight hours, depot maintenance and base opera-

Overall, the Fleet readiness accounts are focused on supporting a sustainable opera-

tional tempo; on properly maintaining ships and aircraft to reach their expected service lives; and on properly training our people and preparing them to deploy forward.

We prioritized stability in shipbuilding in order to affordably field the battle force required by the strategy — buying nine new ships in FY16. We continue the trend of buying two destroyers and two Virginia-class submarines annually, and also request three Littoral Combat Ships and the first next generation logistics fleet resupply ship, the TAO(X). We fully fund both the refueling for the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and the procurement of a Dock Landing Ship (LPD 28) that Congress provided partial funding for in the FY15 budget.

Military and Civilian end strength is adjusted to support the force structure, sustaining improved military fit and fill rates as the fleet is projected to grow to 304 ships in 2020.

To support our commitment to a safe, modern and credible nuclear deterrent, we add $2.2 billion across the next five years to the nuclear deterrent enterprise. This funding supports the increased shipyard

WRNMMC to Hold Code White (active shooter) Exercise Through February

By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class (AW) Chris Krucke WRNMMC Public Affairs staff writer

ing, & Exercises program manager, WRNMMC, explained that during a drill, “upon notification of a Code White (active shooter), all patients and visitors will be told that we are conducting an exercise and will be escorted by staff to their interior spaces to shelter-in-place.”

Shelter-in-place procedures consist of clearing all patient waiting areas, reception desks and hallways, closing and locking all doors, turning off lights, closing blinds and silencing cell phones. “Basically, the hospital should look empty,” said Knapp.

She continued “During a Code White (active shooter), staff and patients should shelter-in-place and remain hidden until evacuated by law enforcement.”

The drills will be 15 minutes in duration and affect everyone in the hospital.

During the drills, staff will educate patients and visitors regarding the purpose of the drill, inform them that the drill is being conducted to ensure their safety and security while visiting the hospital, and thank them for their participation, Knapp said.

In an ongoing effort to improve the training and readiness of its security personnel and first responders, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s (WRNMMC) Emergency Management Team will be conducting Code White (active shooter) drills throughout February.

These drills are part of the medical center’s annual antiterrorism force protection training.

According to Christopher C. Gillette, WRNMMC command emergency manager, Code White is an emergency code utilized by the medical center to notify its staff of an active shooter incident, either on the installation or within the hospital.

He said the primary focus for these drills is to “ensure all staff can be rapidly notified and immediately expedite their area-specific shelter-in-place plans.”

Melissa H. Knapp, Emergency Management Plans, Train-

“We realize that we also have a 24/7 patient care mission, thus during the drill, emergency movement will be permitted, services will continue, and all patient care/treatment in progress will continue behind closed doors,” Gillette said Sentries will be posted at all of the primary entrances throughout the hospital to provide information to incoming patients and visitors about the drill.

Medical center personnel should register for the AtHoc wide area alert network if they have not already done so, as this will keep them updated of force protection conditions and other emergency, environmental, or exercise-related impacts in the area.

Personnel at Naval Support Activity Bethesda and other commands outside the medical center should register on the EverBridge network system.

For more about the Code White (active shooter) exercises, medical center staff can access the Code White instruction (WRNATMILMEDCENINST3020.02) on the intranet or look in their orange emergency procedures guidebooks posted throughout WRNMMC work spaces.

Troops to Receive Millions Under Service Members Civil Relief Act From DoD News, Defense Media Activity The Justice Department announced Feb. 9 that under its settlements with five of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers, 952 service members and their co-borrowers are eligible to receive more than $123 million for non-judicial foreclosures that violated the Service Members Civil Relief Act. The five mortgage servicers are JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.; Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Wells Fargo & Co.; Citi Residential Lending Inc., Citibank, NA and CitiMortgage Inc.; GMAC Mortgage, LLC, Ally Financial Inc. and Residential Capital LLC; and BAC Home Loans Servicing LP formerly known as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP (Bank of America).

In the first round of payments under the SCRA portion of the 2012 settlement known as the National Mortgage Settlement, 666 service members and their co-borrowers will receive more than $88 million from JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi and GMAC Mortgage. The other 286 service members and their co-borrowers already have received more than $35 million from Bank of America through an earlier settlement. The non-judicial foreclosures at issue took place between Jan. 1, 2006, and Apr. 4, 2012. *Unlawful Foreclosures* “These unlawful judicial foreclosures forced hundreds of service members and their families out of their homes,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Stuart F. Delery. “While this compensation will provide a measure of relief, the fact is that service members should never have to worry about losing their home to an illegal foreclosure while they are serving our country. The department will continue to actively protect our service members and their families from such unjust actions.”

“We are very pleased that the men and

women of the armed forces who were subjected to unlawful non-judicial foreclosures while they were serving our country are now receiving compensation,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of the Civil Rights Division. “We look forward, in the coming months, to facilitating the compensation of additional service members who were subjected to unlawful judicial foreclosures or excess interest charges. We appreciate that JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi, GMAC Mortgage and Bank of America have been working cooperatively with the Justice Department to compensate the service members whose rights were violated.”

Section 533 of the SCRA prohibits nonjudicial foreclosures against service members who are in military service or within the applicable post-service period, as long as they originated their mortgages before their period of military service began. Even in states that normally allow mortgage foreclosures to proceed non-judicially, the SCRA prohibits servicers from doing so against protected service members during their military service and applicable postmilitary service coverage period.

Under the National Mortgage Settlement, for mortgages serviced by Wells Fargo, Citi and GMAC Mortgage, the identified service members will each receive $125,000, plus any lost equity in the property and interest on that equity. Eligible co-borrowers will also be compensated for their share of any lost equity in the property.

To ensure consistency with an earlier private settlement, JP Morgan Chase will provide any identified service member either the property free and clear of any debt or the cash equivalent of the full value of the home at the time of sale, and the opportunity to submit a claim for compensation for any additional harm suffered, which will be determined by a special consultant, retired U.S. District Court Judge Edward N. Cahn.

Payment amounts have been reduced

Official U.S. Navy file photo of Sailors in formation

for those service members or co-borrowers who have previously received compensation directly from the servicer or through a prior settlement, such as the independent foreclosure review conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank of America payments to identified service members with nonjudicial foreclosures were made under a 2011 settlement with the Department of Justice.

The NMS also provides compensation for two categories of service members: - Those who were foreclosed upon pursuant to a court order where the mortgage servicer failed to file a proper affidavit with the court stating whether or not the service member was in military service; and - Those service members who gave proper notice to the servicer, but were denied the full benefit of the SCRA’s 6% interest rate cap on

pre-service mortgages. The service members entitled to compensation for these alleged violations will be identified later in 2015. *Points of Contact* Borrowers should use the following contact information for questions about SCRA payments under the National Mortgage Settlement: - Bank of America borrowers should call Rust Consulting, Inc., the settlement administrator, toll-free at 1-855-793-1370 or write to BAC Home Loans Servicing Settlement Administrator, c/o Rust Consulting, Inc., P.O. Box 1948, Faribault, MN 55021-6091.

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield tests NSASP security forces

By Zack Shelby NSASP Public Affairs

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2015 began Feb. 2 across the Navy, including at Naval Support Facilities Dahlgren and Indian Head and officially wraps up today.

“Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is U.S. Fleet Forces’ directed exercise and annual capstone antiterrorism event designed to evaluate Navy antiterrorism plans,” said Ed Patuga, NSASP training officer. The annual exercise was highlighted by an active shooter scenario Wednesday at Bldg. 1700.

Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Jessica Maffett of Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) portrayed the active shooter, roaming about Bldg. 1700 looking for potential victims while first responders such as NSASP police, firefighters, and emergency services personnel worked to apprehend her, tend to victims and subdue the situation.

“The purpose of the active shooter/IED (Improvised Explosive Devices)/mass casualty exercise is to evaluate NSASP’s ability to respond to and recover from such an event,” Patuga said. “It is also designed to evaluate Navy Air and Missile Defense Command’s (NAMDC) emergency action and response plan.”

Patuga said NAMDC has been a great partner and provided NSASP outstanding support in meeting their requirements.

“By investing valuable time and resources, NAMDC was able to test its emergency plan and at the same time provide its workforce and building occupants with guidance on how to prepare for and respond to active shooter crisis situations,” Patuga said.

NSA South Potomac’s command staff and mission areas, including police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, public affairs office, and fleet and family readiness worked together to bring to bear the installation’s full capability and resources to save lives and protect property, according to Patuga.

“King George, Colonial Beach, and Charles Counties’ fire/emergency medical personnel participation provided the opportunity to exercise mutual aid agreements with our neighboring communities,” Patuga said. “The EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) Detachment provided the technical expertise in responding to the simulated IED threat.

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) provided information and awareness of what could be expected should such an event occur within the NSA South Potomac fence lines. Branch Medical Clinic Dahlgren and the casualties’ role players enhanced the realism and training experience of exercise participants through application of moulage simulations for injuries.”

Although the exercise was designed to provide invaluable scenario-based training, AT exercises are also crafted carefully to deter the possibility of serious injury.

“Safety is paramount and has always been an integral part of planning and conducting an integrated exercise at NSA South Potomac,” said Patuga. “The drill package and scenario events list were safely vetted using the operational risk management (ORM) matrix.”

In the background, Navy training evaluators observe the police officers’ response. Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is annual Navy exercise intended to enhance force protection; the exercise is not in response to any specific threat.

Navy firefighters and paramedics work with members of King George Fire and Rescue to treat a role player with simulated gunshot wounds Feb. 11 during Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2015 at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren. The base has mutual aid agreements with communities near the base; first responders from King George County, Colonial Beach and Charles County, Md. participated in the exercise. awareness of the exercise’s possible impact to normal base operations and neighboring Virginia and Maryland communities.

“Mitigations were put in place to reduce the risk of unintended consequences to building occupants such as trauma caused by (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) PTSD reaction, other health conditions, and sensitivity to such an event,” said Patuga. “The event was also well coordinated at the regional level. The training team was fully aware that safety was everybody’s responsibility. Safety officers were at the scene during the exercise.”

Patuga also said the exercise was Naval District Washington’s capstone event and one of the capstone events across five Navy regions.

“Being the capstone installation, NSASP had more requirements to meet than the other installations within NDW,” Patuga said. He added that the NCIS Security Training and Assessment Team (STAAT) were onboard to evaluate the security force response procedures.

“Conducting the exercise was a great opportunity as always to train for and continuously improve to provide the best response possible,” Patuga said.

on future capabilities given overall fiscal constraints.

This budget funds our most pressing MILCON needs in FY16 with 60 construction projects (38 Navy, 22 USMC) spanning key quality of life initiatives, such as unaccompanied housing in Patuxent River, Maryland, and supporting introduction of new weapon systems, such as Training Facilities and Hangar modifications to accommodate F-35’s at NAS Lemoore and P-8 support facilities at NAS Jacksonville, NAS Sigonella and Joint Base Pearl Harbor.

Reform and Innovation We continue to drive innovation and reform practices to ensure long-term success. The Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) is a key element of that approach, facilitating recovery of the material readiness of the force, protecting the time required to properly train our Sailors, delivering sustainable global presence for the COCOMs while bringing deployment lengths down over time, and providing the capacity to surge combat power in a contingency.

This year’s submission also includes $17.9 billion for research and development, reflecting the emphasis on developing key capabilities for the future. This funding supports

our Navy-Marine Corps team by providing technological advantages against adversaries in all environments and spectrums. The budget also funds eight Energy Resilience projects that upgrade aging utilities infrastructure to increase resiliency and support continuity of operations. Examples include electrical repairs to piers and improved waterfront utilities. Beyond these eight projects, the Department continues to lead with broader energy initiatives spanning gas turbine efficiency; aviation fuel conservation; and hybrid electric drive technology.

The FY16 budget strikes the right balance between sustaining our forces today and laying the groundwork for future advantage. Across the full scope of the request, we maintained a strong focus on maximizing the value of resources invested and on sustaining our war fighting advantage today and into the future. This budget sustains today’s Navy and Marine Corps legacy as America’s first responders in a complex and dangerous security environment.

Hard Choices This fiscal environment requires each of the Services to make hard choices in prioritizing their budget, examining every account to maximize the use of resources. In FY16 we are able to increase our aircraft inventory by 36 from our FY15 plan, reflecting the restoral of 29 MH-60R helicopters associated with restoral of the USS George Washington refueling/overhaul and the tenth Air Wing, as well as the addition of two F-35Cs; however, over the next five years, we will experience a decrease of 16 F-35Cs, two E-2Ds, and nine RQ-21’s from the prior plan. We will also reduce our weapons inventory by 1,000 in order to align fielding profiles with updated aircraft integration timelines, and to focus funding
