D.A.R.E. Graduation, Page 2
The Office of Naval Research (ONR)'s Electromagnetic (EM) Railgun program will take an important step forward in the coming weeks when the first industry railgun prototype launcher is tested at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, officials said Feb. 6. "This is the next step toward a future tactical system that will be placed on board a ship some day," said Roger Ellis, program manager of EM Railgun. The EM Railgun launcher is a long-range weapon that fires projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants. Magnetic fields created by high electrical currents accelerate a sliding metal conductor, or armature, between two rails to launch projectiles at 4,500 mph to 5,600 mph. With its increased velocity and extended range, the EM Railgun will give Sailors a multi-mission capabili-

The EMRG is a long-range weapon that launches projectiles using electricity instead of chemical propellants and is under development by Navy for use aboard ships.
Dahlgren team recognized for preserving heritage The Dahlgren History Project team received the Distinguished Community Group Service Award at Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division's (NSWCDD) annual honor awards ceremony Jan. 20 for their exemplary efforts to preserve and present the scientific and technical heritage of Naval Support Facility Dahlgren and NSWCDD. The team was recognized for enhancing and promoting NSWCDD's innovation and excellence. "In presenting the past and present stories of the people and the products of Dahlgren, the workforce and the surrounding community have a renewed awareness and appreciation for the contributions the work here have provided to the Navy, the nation and the world," states the team's award citation. In preparing for NSWCDD's annual honor award ceremony, team members with the Dahlgren History Project were photographed with ordnance items that represent major research, development, test and evaluation programs conducted at Dahlgren to field the semi-active laser (SAL) guided projectile. Development of the 8-inch SAL
The Dahlgren History Team gathers around a 5-inch guided projectile (l.) and 8-inch guided projectile, both of which accounted for major RDT&E work at Dahlgren in the 1960s and 1970s. Pictured (l. to r.) are Wayne Harman, Brad Johnson, Robin Staton, Stacia Courtney, Jim Poynor, Karen Lauterbach, Amelia Toms and Greggory DiSalvo. guided projectile occurred at the Naval Weapons Laboratory at Dahlgren beginning in the late 1960s, while most of the work on the 5-inch SAL guided projectile was accomplished in the early 1970s. They were
intended for use on Navy ships to provide a less expensive capability -compared to guided missiles -- for delivering guided ordnance against both ship and shore targets. "You've heard about the guns and
the computers. They're a big part of the Dahlgren story. But there's so much more to how this Navy base has impacted the community, the nation and the world," states Ed Jones, president of the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation on the organization's website at www.dahlgrenmuseum.org. The Dahlgren Heritage Foundation is spearheading an effort to establish a Dahlgren museum that will celebrate the history of both NSF Dahlgren and the community. "From the early days of this museum project, we have discovered how deep and broad the Dahlgren community really is," says Jones. "Those who worked on the base, grew up there or just appreciate the role Dahlgren has played are all pitching in to make this museum a reality. "We need a bigger megaphone to tell the Dahlgren story," adds Jones. "In essence, that will be the mission of the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation in operating this museum. "Working with our partners, the military commands at Dahlgren and the Navy History and Heritage Command, the foundation will share the stories that have made Dahlgren a crown jewel of national defense."

The Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) honored employees for their achievements during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 at its quarterly awards ceremony on Jan. 26. Sandra Ambrose and Amy Balmaz both received the Joint Civilian Service Commendation Award for exceptionally meritorious achievement in JWAC's Civilian Workforce Management Branch between January and October of last year. Together, they provided outstanding support preparing JWAC for the disestablishment of U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) in August of last year. USJFCOM was JWAC's parent command until JWAC transitioned to U.S. Strategic Command in June 2011. Moreover, Ambrose was specifically cited for her expert knowledge of the many personnel and other regulations, which allowed JWAC leaders to anticipate and prepare for impacts to the command's mission caused not only by the transition, but also from a proposed Reduction In Force and plan accordingly. JWAC was ordered to cut its workforce 30 percent in 2011 and the command's efforts to treat affected employees uniformly and fairly was due largely to Ambrose's efforts, according to her citation. Balmazwasalsocreditedfor her expert knowledge of personnelregulationsandherability to devise strategies that allowed JWAC to prepare for anticipatedchanges.Inthisstressful and fluid atmosphere, she showed "utmost professionalism while maintaining continued superior service to the warfighter," her citation read. Air Force Staff Sgt. Chadd Russell received the Air Force Achievement Medal for meritorious service as the deployed radar networks supervisor with the 729th Air Control Squadron, 552nd Air Control Group, 552nd Air ControlWing at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. In this role, he was responsible for communication equipment in Iraq and elsewhere that directly impacted the war effort. For instance, he helped install radar equipment for Iraq's Kirkuk Air Base doubling its range, which was used to support no fewer than 240 missions; configured the Theater Deployable Communica-

tions voice switch to use Standard Tactical Entry Point services to provide global voice services while deployed; and managed the packing of more than $1 million worth of communications equipment for Operation Enduring Freedom. David Fishering and Thomas Strong both received the Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal, which recognizes Department of Defense civilian employees who provide direct support to the military in combat theaters. Fishering deployed to Afghanistan for four months beginning last year and Strong for three months.
Employees of the Quarter
Dr. Ryan Baird received the Employee of the Quarter Award for his work as an analyst. Generally, his efforts led to improvements in the way technical problems were examined and improved the command's customer support. Dr. Baird was cited for his technical insight, planning support, and his willingness to assume additional duties to reach a goal.
Heidi Balderson received the Employee of the Quarter Award for her consistent quality support as a security technician during all of last year. With staff cuts, she assumed additional duties as well as trained three new employees. Her knowledge of office operations and security policies ensured that both the quality of service and quantity of work remained unaffected during this time of change. Steven Hill received the Employee of the Quarter Award for his efficiency, hard work and accuracy as an intelligence analyst, qualities that set the standard for his co-workers and made him a role model among them as well. In addition, Hill displayed the exceptional ability to handle many priority requests for customer support at the same time while still producing the highest quality products every time.
Letters of Commendation
DonaldTriplett, David Kale and John Strafer all received letters of commendation as part of a team of engineers whose technical analysis and
development of new analytical capabilities supported combatant command needs. Triplett brought extensive engineering experience to the project, which combined with his close work with others outside of JWAC led to many technical breakthroughs and in much of the team's overall success, according to team members. Kale was the team's expert analysis. His contribution to the project not only received high praise from the customer, but will now form the basis for future work. Strafer, who worked as JWAC's program manager with overall responsibility for the command's budget, got additional money to support the project. He coordinated efforts at senior levels of the Department of Defense as well as in JWAC. His leadership in this regard enhanced the team's ability to provide support to the customer.
Length of Service
Shelia Massey received a Length of Service Award for 30 years of government service.

The Center for Surface Combat System's (CSCS) Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) announced Feb. 2 that Sherri Stein, a purchase card administrator, was recognized as its 2011 Civilian of the Year. "Sherri's dedication to the staff at ATRC, and throughout the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS) domain, is second to none and validated by comments made by people she supported throughout the year," said Stein's supervisor Craig Morrison, ATRC's Training Readiness director. Stein manages and oversees ATRC's training directorate's government commercial purchase card program, ensuring that the program is in accordance with Department of Defense and Department of the Navy policies, procedures and regulations. This includes ensuring staff members are properly trained, appointed and capable of performing their duties. Stein also provides general oversight of CSCS detachments that have purchase card programs include monitoring, providing direction and compiling reports to Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), CSCS' parent command. Stein was very appreciative when she learned she was selected.
"It's apparent she takes her responsibilities very seriously and it's evident in her vigilant management of important and critical telecommunication and purchase card programs," Morrison said. "I was stunned at first, but very grateful," Stein said. "I monitor the accounts regularly for any potential issues and make certain they are current and accurate," Stein explained. "I perform monthly transactional reviews on the cardholder's statements and required paperwork, and take appropriate action on non-compliance issues." Stein is very engaged in the command outside of her primary responsibilities. She is also ATRC's supply officer, telecommunications control officer, and manages the contract for cell phones, blackberries and air cards. "It's apparent she takes her responsibilities very seriously and it's evident in her vigilant management of important and critical telecommunication and purchase card programs," Morrison said. "Ms. Stein's professionalism, ded-
ication and obvious desire to provide the very best in customer service are obvious by the smooth daily operations of ATRC's supply division. The words 'proficient,' 'reliable' and 'dedicated' describe her and are the foundation of our supply system that is at the pinnacle of distinction." Stein says she enjoys being part of the ATRC community. "I find great satisfaction in providing an answer to a question or helping to find a resolution to a problem," Stein said. ATRC's traditional school house instruction is delivered 24 hours a day, five days a week. Nearly 1,200 enlisted fire controlmen and 550 surface warfare, limited duty and aviation officers graduate annually. Military instructors are typically fleet returnees who bring relevant, recent experience to the classroom. Contracted instructors are typically prior Aegis Sailors who provide continuity to the instructional staff. Electronic classrooms, electronic technical manuals, and long-range connectivity allow for continued expansion of the quantity and quality of training to meet growing training requirements. ATRC's ongoing efforts include examining new technologies and training methods for innovative, less costly ways to train to meet new challenges and needs of the United States Navy.
Military Saves Week Feb. 19-23 Since 2007, America Saves Week has been a national campaign which encourages all Americans to save.

cusing on three simple steps: 1. Set goals - Identify your financial goals, i.e. retirement,
child's education, emergency savings. 2. Develop a plan - What are the steps you must take to achieve your goals. 3. Save automatically - Contact your financial institutions, find out which products are suitable for your goals, and establish automatic transfers into those accounts.

The South Potomac Pilot
JBAB youth’s faith and scouting shaped who he has become By Senior Airman, Susan Davis, JBAB Public Affairs Clark Jones began gaining base-wide recognition when he designed, funded and built a prayer garden at Chapel 1 that was completed and dedicated Dec. 14, 2011. The self-proclaimed "military brat" is a home school student belonging to the Bolling Area Home Educators (BAHE) group here on JBAB. He is one of three sons of Maj. Gen. Duane Jones, who is also the former Air Force District ofWashington commander. Clark and his twin brother, Blake, were born in Landstuhl, Germany. Their younger brother, Glen, is 12. His time as an Air Force family member has also taken him to Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and D.C. Because JBAB, formerly known as Bolling Air Force Base, is where Clark has spent a cumulative total of seven years of his life, it is where he calls home. He got the idea for the prayer garden from a conversation with Ch. (Lt. Col.) Mark Campbell, JBAB chaplain, just before the praise portion of the Protestant worship service one Sunday. "When we play in church, we practice for an hour before, and then we have about 15 minutes of down time in the back of the chapel waiting for the praise portion to start," he explained. "We talk to Chaplain Campbell sometimes, and he likes to tell us stories about other bases where he has been a chaplain, and he was talking about being a pastor in New Mexico. He said they had a prayer garden built there and it did wonders for their church community. He said it brought new life into the church, and then he mentioned in passing that he wished we had the sort of new life in
our chapel." Clark said that he was looking for an Eagle Scout project at that time, and Chaplain Campbell's comment was what gave him the inspiration for his prayer garden idea. "When he said that, it made a real connection in my head," he said. "So I talked to Chaplain Campbell about it, I talked to my scout leaders about it, and they said I should go for it. My main goal for that prayer garden was to get more people into the chapel and for the people who regularly go to the chapel to just have a chance to enjoy it a little bit more. Before, that courtyard was just a slate of concrete, not very pleasing to look at, so I knew that some other people must feel the same way," Clark said. Clark explained that once the word got out that he was taking the courtyard on as a prayer garden project, he received a very positive response from others. "There are four planters filled with flowers and other plants in the garden as well as a birdbath with a fleur de lis on it to represent the Boy Scouts." While it was a rewarding project after all was said and done, Clark explained, before it came to fruition, there were times when it was overwhelming. "It may not look like much, but when it was all in my garage, from the dirt to the organic peat moss to the two-by-fours for the benches, when everything was piled up, it looked completely overwhelming," he said. "But it ended up coming together really nicely. My estimated cost at the beginning of the project was about $1,200, and I was able to raise all $1,200." Clark was part of a cross-country team organized by BAHE and spoke to Capt. Eric Guzman from the JBAB Company Grade Officers Council about the project. "Captain Guzman offered to talk to the

Clark Jones, 15, son of U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Duane Jones, was recently promoted to the rank of Eagle Scout. Jones gives a lot of credit to his parents for keeping him involved in extracurricular activities which helped shape who he is today. CGOC and some of the other councils to raise money for the project," he said. "I wrote letters asking for donations until my hand just about fell off, and I also had a Facebook page that I used to share the project, and I started getting checks in the mail from people I didn't even know." Clark said he also had plenty of help with physically setting up the courtyard as well, including members from BAHE, scout masters, Cub Scout troop members, U.S. Air Force Honor Guard members, as well as some of his cross country teammates. "About 30 people altogether showed up bright and early that Saturday morning to put it all together, and I could not have done that by myself in the four hours that it took," he
said. "They were just so helpful and so great." The next chapter in Clark's life will take place in Colorado Springs, Colo., following his father's retirement.There he will finish his last two years of high school, and hopefully go on to study at the U.S. Air Force Academy, he said. He credits his parents, his faith, Scouting and the wide range of extracurricular activities he has been involved in with helping shape who he is. "I would highly recommend Scouts orVenturing, the co-ed equivalent of Scouts, to any young people looking for direction or looking to do something admirable and honorable," he said. "It helped me become who I am today."

NCIS kicks off campaign against insider threat by Sarah Fortney Journal staff Do you know how to recognize a potential threat to Defense Department (DoD) personnel, intelligence, and resources if so, how would you report it? Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) encourages everyone to be aware of indicators, behaviors and cyber threats that could jeopardize our nation's security and understand reporting requirements as they promote their "Insider Threat Awareness Campaign" now until March 31. The campaign, part of the Department of Navy's Crime Reduction Program (CRP), focuses on educating service members and DoD personnel about common threats, such as workplace violence, espionage and elicitation, said Erin Hansen, special agent for NCIS, Resident Unit Bethesda. CRP, spearheaded by NCIS, is a Navy-wide program, uniting the nation's law enforcement and community service organizations. "This is the first time we've partnered with the National Security Directorate" for a CRP campaign, Hansen noted. Since the shooting at Fort Hood in November 2009, and release of hundreds of thousands of classified document via WikiLeaks in 2010, she said, there has been a stronger and more collaborative effort to detect and mitigate such threats. An insider threat, she explained, is generally defined throughout the DoD as any person with authorized, legitimate access to any DoD resource, who uses that access to harm the security of the U.S. and its citizens. To remind DoD personnel the importance of combating these risks, the campaign involves all commands, anti-terrorism, force protection, law enforcement, counterintelligence, security, emergency management and information assurance communities, she said. "It's something we should all be aware of and reminded of," she said. "It's the responsibility of every entity within the Navy to detect and respond to indications and warning of individuals compromising security." Even in the safest workplace, acts of violence can occur, she continued. People who commit acts of violence generally give off warning signs the key is to recognize those behaviors,

ty, allowing them to conduct precise naval surface fire support, or land strikes; cruise missile and ballistic missile defense; and surface warfare to deter enemy vessels. Navy planners are targeting a 50- to 100-nautical mile initial capability with expansion up to 220 nautical miles. The EM Railgun program, part of ONR's Naval Air Warfare andWeapons Department, previously relied upon government laboratory-based launchers for testing and advancing railgun technology. The first industry-built launcher, a 32-megajoule prototype demonstrator made by BAE Systems, arrived at Dahlgren on Jan. 30. One megajoule of energy is equivalent to a 1-ton car traveling at 100 miles per hour. "This industry prototype represents a step beyond our previous successful demonstrations of the laboratory launcher," Ellis said. The prototype demonstrator incorporates advanced composites and improved barrel life performance resulting from development efforts on laboratory systems conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory and by Naval SurfaceWarfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD). The EM Railgun laboratory demonstrator tested by NSWCDD fired a world record setting 33-megajoule shot in December 2010. The industry demonstrator will begin test firing this month as the EM Railgun program prepares for delivery of a second prototype launcher built by General Atomics. In the meantime, the Navy is pushing ahead with the next phase of the EM Railgun program to develop automatic projectile loading systems and thermal management systems to facilitate increased firing rates of the weapon. "The next phase of the development effort is to demonstrate the ability to operate at a firing rate of significant military utility," Ellis said. ONR recently awarded $10 million contracts through Naval Sea Systems Command to Raytheon Corp., BAE Systems and General Atomics to develop a pulsed power system for launching projectilesinrapidsuccession.Thesenewcontractskickoffafiveyear effort to achieve a firing rate of six to 10 rounds per minute. BAE Systems and General Atomics also are commencing concept development work on the next-generation prototype EM Railgun capable of the desired firing rate.
which may include: - Direct or indirect threats of any kind - Any type of physical assault - A regular pattern of intimidating, harassing or aggressive behavior, including bullying behavior - An uncontrollable or explosive temper - Stalking - Bringing a weapon to work or an excessive fascination with weapons - Stealing from the company or other employees - Damaging company property or repeated safety violations - Sudden or marked changes in behavior - Isolation from coworkers - Frequent disputes over disciplinary actions or termination Report a safety concern, even if someone says their violent comments were a joke. If an employee's anger escalates, and they begin screaming, shouting or pounding their fists do not argue with the person. Leave the area immediately and call security if the person seems out of control, or if you feel threatened. Security threats may not always be so clear; in fact, elicitation is one of the most difficult to identify. Commonly used to subtly collect information, elicitation involves face-to-face interaction. At anytime, anywhere, the elicitor who may seem normal, posing as a friend at a social gathering or a neighbor
focuses their questions on the importance of an individual's intelligence service, exploiting their desire to be cordial, interesting and helpful, she said.These foreign intelligence officers are intensely interested in DoD employees, and may have a cover story to explain why they're asking such questions about your classified work. Offering this information can, consequently, jeopardize national safety, she explained. In such situations, NCIS advises changing the topic, pleading ignorance, rather than sharing information you shouldn't, or deflecting questions with other questions and as a general rule of thumb, if the conversation makes you feel uneasy, report it. An insider threat can also include espionage delivering or communicating information about national defense with intent, or reason to believe, the information may be used to threaten the U.S., or may be used to the advantage of a foreign nation. Certain factors can be cause for concern, such as bringing unauthorized electronic devices into work areas, inappropriately seeking or obtaining classified information without a need-to-know, or expressing divided loyalty to another country and frustration to the point of wanting to retaliate against the government. To report a potential threat to the security, resources or classified information, to include workplace violence, elicitation or espionage, call 1-800-543-6289, or text "NCIS" along with your tip information, to "CRIMES" (274637). You may also visit www.ncis.navy.mil, and click on the 24/7 Anonymous Tip logo. At Naval Support Activity Bethesda, contact Security at 301-295-1246, or call NCIS Bethesda at 301-295-0570.
