Military, medical leaders discuss COVID-19 issues with Service members By Terri Moon Cronk DoD News, Defense Media Activity
T
op military and medical officials gathered earlier this month for a virtual town hall meeting with Service members and their families to discuss COVID-19 vaccinations. Among those speaking at the webinar were Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; and Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Ronald J. Place, director of the Defense Health Agency. The event was hosted by Blue Star Families and the American Red Cross. In a recorded address, Milley and wife Hollyanne Milley said they are committed to protecting
the military’s 2.3 million men and women and 2.7 million family members from COVID-19. He also noted that the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration have declared the vaccines as “safe and highly effective” but he acknowledged that getting the vaccine is a personal decision. “We both encourage you to consult your primary-care physician to address any concerns ... so you can be well-equipped to make the right decision for you and your family,” Milley said. The global and historic respiratory pandemic is the first in the United States in 102 years, Fauci said. It has killed more than 2 million people worldwide, infected more than 20 million U.S. people,
and left about 430,000 dead. Fauci also said that while the virus appears to be plateauing, the nation is still in its grips. There are still between 100,000 and 200,000 new cases each day and 3,000 to 4,000 deaths per day. The vaccine development has met significant success with 32 million injections being administered, so far, Fauci said. Last week, Johnson & Johnson became the third company to receive an emergency use authorization for a new vaccine. Moderna and Pfizer received authorizations for their vaccines in December, and both are being administered across the country. The Moderna and Pfizer

nits from Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services were dispatched in support of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, Feb. 3, for an explosion and fire in the 8500 block of Hooes Road in Springfield. Three Washington Gas workers were injured, and first responders arrived to find a large fire in the middle of the street, and flames shooting up to 70 feet in the air. The flames were being fed by a six-inch natural gas line, and crews worked quickly to extinguish fires in two of the construction vehicles that resulted from the gas-fed fire, according to a release from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department. As incident commanders set up an EMS Task force to deal with multiple injuries, firefighters worked to evacuate and check the interior of eight nearby homes. Firefighters from Fort Belvoir maintained hose line operations to keep the fire in check and cool down any nearby exposures from radiant heat, while Washington Gas crews worked to shut the gas mains down, according to Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services
Captain Corey McGhee, the officer in charge of the Fort Belvoir crew that assisted in the response. “We were sent in to relieve a crew on the south side of the fire to set exposure protection, until the gas can be shut off, and keep the trees and vehicles cool,” McGhee said. “We just held our position to wait for the gas line to stop feeding the flames.” McGhee said that Light and Air 466, a unit from Davison Army Airfield, was also at the scene, and their job was to fill air cylinders on site, as the fire crews were relying on air cylinders for safe, breathable air during the fire suppression operation. As their air cylinders expire, incident leaders would rotate in another crew with full air cylinders during the 25-minute fire suppression. Three construction workers were transported to the hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries, according to the report, and one firefighter sustained a minor injury that was treated on scene. Fairfax County fire investigators determined that the fire was accidental, and started when the gas line was struck during a digging operation, and erupted into a ball of flame. Damages are estimated at $250,000 for the equipment lost due to the fire.

DTRA combats COVID-19 worldwide By Andrea Chaney Defense Threat Reduction Agency
W
hile the world copes with the destruction of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program on Fort Belvoir has utilized existing partnerships and ongoing engagements to enable partner nations to leverage equipment and training to combat this pandemic wreaking havoc in their countries, including assistance with identifying the first SARS-CoV 2 case outside of China, in Thailand. DTRA’s CTR program works with international and interagency partners to mitigate weapons of mass destruction-related threats to U.S. forces, the U.S. Homeland, U.S. allies, and U.S. interests. CTR works closely with their partners to eliminate WMD stockpiles, provide safe and secure storage for materials of concern, and detect and prevent WMD proliferation. Global health security is a fundamental element of national security and the reduction and mitigation of biological threats are a key component of overall activities that help keep our country safe. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the value in ensuring that our foreign partners are adequately trained and equipped to secure biological threats at their source. Threat reduction activities help ensure that our allies and partners do this work in a safe and secure facility that reduces the risks of accidental release of dangerous pathogens or their possession and use by nefarious actors.

Guinea’s Ministry of Health used the Mobile Diagnostic Laboratory in Conakry to receive samples of COVID-19 in Guinea. The laboratory, provided by BTRP during the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, is designated by the Ministry of Health as the sole laboratory in Guinea to handle and test all suspected COVID-19 specimens.
In particular, DTRA CTR’s Biological Threat Reduction Program has provided necessary training and equipment to more than 130 institutions in over 30 countries to improve their ability to detect, diagnose, and report T:9.5" and outbreaks unusual biological incidents
of pandemic potential. These capabilities have helped bolster CTR’s partner nations’ abilities to quickly detect and diagnose the current COVID-19 outbreak. Laboratorians, epidemiologists, and other specialists in partner countries continue to take advantage of the support provided by DTRA, including laboratory construction, implementing key facility and security safeguards at vulnerable locations, and training and equipping partnernation ministries of health, defense, and others, such as through the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the early days of COVID. There are many examples that illustrate the impact of DTRA CTR support. In Thailand, Jan. 13, 2020, Thai scientists at the Chulalongkorn University used CTRprovided diagnostic equipment and training to determine the first COVID-19 case outside of China, resulting in early detection and reporting that the disease was spreading globally. Former DTRA Director Vayl Oxford acknowledged this success during subsequent testimony before the Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, noting that “as a result of the DTRA CTR Program and the assistance of our U.S. Government partner, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), local officials in Thailand detected the first case of a novel coronavirus outside of China on January 13, 2020, after its initial discovery in Wuhan, China.” For more information on CTR’s programs and other programs within DTRA, visit dtra.mil.

vaccines offer 94% to 95% effectiveness from developing COVID-19 and thwart nearly 100% of severe disease leading to death, Fauci said. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine had not received emergency use authorization when Fauci made his remarks. Fauci fielded questions and debunked myths from those who fear the vaccine was developed too quickly to be safe and that corners were cut to make it available. The speed of the vaccine’s development is due to extraordinary technological advances that go back 10 years, he said, adding that neither safety nor scientific integrity was sacrificed. He urged people to get the vaccine, especially those who are at increased risk because they are immunocompromised due to chronic disease. He added that allergic reactions to getting the vaccine are rare. The vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna that are now available are for people 18 and older, although Fauci said trials are beginning for certain younger age groups and pregnant women. He also said babies in utero will receive the vaccine antibodies from the mother, and infants will receive them from moms who breastfeed. Fauci said it is impossible to get COVID-19 from the vaccine, and it

will “absolutely not” enter into a person’s DNA. Instead, the vaccine comprises messengerRNA, Fauci said. “RNA [ribonucleic acid] is the general molecular mechanism where we make all of the proteins and cells in our body. mRNA — the ‘m’ stands for messenger — is a message to tell the body to make a protein. When you get an mRNA vaccine, you stick in the coding sequence to make one of the components of COVID, which is called the spike protein,” he said. “And the spike protein is the part that sticks out from the virus, which makes it look like a crown. When the mRNA codes for that protein [are injected] into your muscle, it starts to code for protein, and the body sees the spike protein and thinks it’s the virus. But it’s not the virus. It’s one harmless component of the virus.” Fauci said when the real virus tries to enter your body, you have a bunch of proteins called antibodies that jump all over that virus and prevent it from infecting you. The Defense Health Agency director said Service members and their family members 18 and older have some options for where to get the vaccine. Military treatment facilities and community resources — such as state, county and local outlets — can provide it.

Place said, audience members are educated as ambassadors to share what they’ve learned. “I hope you share what you hear today with others,” because data show the likelihood of individuals receiving this vaccine and sharing their experiences have a statistically significant effect on the likelihood of family, friends and colleagues deciding to get the vaccine, he said. “For almost 12 long months, we’ve been in this — bound together — and the only way out of it is together,” Place said.

Patriot Pet Care expands offerings By David Fawcett Belvoir Eagle
I
n preparation for the snowstorm that blanketed the area two weekends ago, Katie Boyette wanted to make sure the dogs and cats at the Patriot Pet Care had someone there to check on them in case no one else could because of the bad weather. With her three-year-old daughter in tow, Boyette brought her air mattress and spent Saturday and Sunday night inside the facility. Boyette made the most of their time together, watching movies and overall having a fun time. But most importantly, Boyette, the Patriot Pet Care manager, felt better knowing the dogs and cats were safe. “We go the extra mile so the pets are taken care of,” Boyette said. That’s been the overall approach by Boyette and her team of four since the Patriot Pet Care opened for business in July. Patriot Pet Care first offered boarding and grooming services, both of which have seen a steady flow of reservations. While boarding is slower right now during the week, it has stayed busy over the holidays. It’s a trend Boyette expected after checking with Fort Meade and Fort Detrick. Both bases also have pet care centers and know from experience that October through March is the slowest part of the season, while things will pick up more over the summer.
Patriot Pet Care offers 48 indoor/outdoor boarding rooms for dogs and 30 cat condos. In January, Patriot Pet Care began offering training as well. At the moment, Boyette is the only one accredited to train dogs, but she’s hopeful of adding another trainer in the future. “So far it’s been really popular,” Boyette said. Boyette said people have responded positively to their experience with Patriot Pet Care. “They are excited to bring their pets here,” Boyette said. “The dogs run to the door when they know they are coming here.” Boyette said Patriot Pet Care plans on expanding its weekday hours as well to meet customers’ needs. At the moment, Patriot Pet Care is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Boyette said those times will change at some point to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Saturday and Sunday schedule will remain the same: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and by appointment only. Boyette said Patriot Pet Care will also offer some special events over the summer, including pool days for dogs as well as an arts and crafts session. “We work hard, but we have fun,” Boyette said. Patriot Pet Care is located at 5975 Warren Road, BLDG 628 on Fort Belvoir. All military, DoD civilians, retirees and family members are eligible to use Patriot Pet Care for their dogs and cats.

After 100 years the Harlem Hellfighters nickname is finally approved, official By Eric Durr New York National Guard
100
years after the New York National Guard’s 369th Infantry Regiment earned the nickname in World War I, the Army has recognized the right of 369th Sustainment Brigade Soldiers to call themselves Hellfighters. The Army Center of Military History, which approved the official designation on Sept. 21, also made it clear that Hellfighters is one word and not two. The 369th joins 717 other Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve units—some of which are no longer around- which have official special designations. The 369th’s nickname was recognized as a traditional, historical designation for the unit; much like the 42nd Infantry Division’s “Rainbow” name, or the Regular Army’s 3nd Cavalry Regiment “Brave Rifles” nickname. The special designation program is run by the Force Structure and Unit History Branch of the US Army Center of Military History at Fort McNair as part of the Army’s organizational history program. The 369th’s quest to make their long-time nickname official began in 2019 when New York State Military Museum Director Courtney Burns was looking at the Army’s list of unit special designations. He had been working on a 369th history display at the newly renovated Harlem Armory and went looking for the certificate noting the official designation of the 369th as the Harlem Hellfighters. He was shocked to find that a unit as famous as the 369th was not on the list. “That was such a glaring error,” he said. Because the military history program is a unit commander’s program, Burns contacted Seth Morgulas, the commander of the 369th Sustainment Brigade to let him know that the longtreasured nickname was not officially recognized. “I said, ‘That is crazy, how does it not have it,’” Morgulas recalled. The New York State Department of Transportation had even ceremonially renamed Harlem River Drive, which runs by the armory on Manhattan’s west side, the Harlem Hellfighters Drive, he pointed out. Morgulas tasked his personnel officer to work with Burns to put

the right documents together and fix the issue. The entire process took about a year, he said. The 369th Infantry began as the 15th Infantry Regiment headquartered in Harlem. It was a New York National Guard unit for African-Americans in a segregated Army and National Guard. When the United States went to war in 1917, Black Americans traveled to New York City to enlist in the 15th Infantry Regiment. The regiment’s commander, Col. William Hayward, lobbied hard for his Soldiers to be part of the American Expeditionary Force and they shipped out in 1917. At first they worked unloading supply ships. But in March 1918 they were reorganized as the 369th Infantry and loaned to the French Army. During their campaign in World War I the 369th Soldiers were present in the battles at Champagne-Marne, MeuseArgonne, Champagne, Alsace and were in action for 191 days, the longest of any American unit. They suffered about 1,500 casualties, also the highest of any U.S.
regiment, while receiving only 900 replacements. In one offensive, the 369th outpaced French units on either side by seven miles. The unit fought as part of a French Army division. They were the first unit of the French, British or American Armies to reach the Rhine River at the end of the war. The unit earned 11 French citations and a unit Croix de Guerre and 170 Soldiers were awarded the French Croix de Guerre. The Soldiers of the 369th called themselves the “Black Rattlers” and the unit crest still features a rattlesnake coiled to strike. The French called them “Hommes de Bronze” or Men of Bronze. But it was their German adversaries who gave them the name that stuck. The Germans called the Black Americans “Hollenkampfer”: German for Hellfighters. “They are devils,” a Prussian officer captured during the Meuse-Argonne offensive told his American captors about the 369th. “They smile while they kill and
they won’t be taken alive.” When the men of the 369th paraded through New York City in 1919, the New York Times headline read: “New York’s HellFighters March up the Avenue.” The 369th Sustainment Brigade staff put together historical references to the unit name, filled in the paperwork, and sent it to the National Guard Bureau historian. That office, in turn, sent it to Joseph Seymour, a historian with 20 years of experience, at the Army Center of Military History in Fort McNair. Seymour is the historian at the Center who deals with Army National Guard history. Documenting the 369th’s claim to their historic name was not hard to do, Seymour said. There were plenty of books and articles linking the name Hellfighters to the 369th. “They are a very famous unit. It is one of those things that everybody knew about. But because everybody knew about it, they never submitted a request for a distinctive designation,” Seymour said.

A PILE OF SNOW SHOVELING TIPS

•
•
•
• •
e heart healthy and back friendly while shoveling this winter with these tips: • If you are inactive and have a history of heart trouble, talk to your doctor before you take on the task of shoveling snow. • Avoid caffeine or nicotine before beginning. These are stimulants, which may increase your heart rate and cause your blood vessels to constrict. This places extra stress on the heart. • Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is just as big an issue in cold winter months as it is in the summer. • Dress in several layers so you can remove a layer as needed. Warm up your muscles before shoveling, by walking for a few minutes or marching in place. Stretch the muscles in your arms and legs, because warm muscles will work more efficiently and be less likely to be injured. Pick the right shovel for you. A smaller blade will require you to lift less snow, putting less strain on your body. Begin shoveling slowly to avoid placing a sudden demand on your heart. Pace yourself and take breaks as needed. Protect your back from injury by lifting correctly. Stand with your feet about hip width for balance and keep the shovel close to your body. Bend from the knees (not the back) and tighten your stomach muscles as you lift the snow. Avoid twisting movements. If you need to move the snow to one side reposition your feet to face the direction the snow will be going. Most importantly — listen to your body. Stop if you feel pain!

Fort Belvoir follows ‘Pollution Diets’ By Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division
F
ollowing a healthy diet and limiting unhealthy foods is one of the ways to reach our wellness goals. Similarly, our bodies of water need healthy nutrients to maintain a healthy habitat. A body of water is considered “unhealthy” or “impaired” if it fails to meet one or more water quality standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. Just as a Nutritionist may put us on a diet to improve our health, the EPA issues pollution diets to impaired bodies of water. These “diets” are TMDL Action Plans.
What is a TMDL action plan? A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Action Plan establishes pollutant limits a body of water can receive and still meet state water quality standards. TMDL Action Plans provide guidance on how the “pollutant diet” will be implemented using iterative implementation of best management practices.
Fort Belvoir’s nutrients and bacteria pollution diets Fort Belvoir has developed and implements TMDL Action Plans associated with nutrients, bacteria and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
TMDL Action Plans are being developed for chloride and sediment. This article addresses Nutrients and Bacteria TMDL, however all action plans are available to the public and can be found at: https://go.usa.gov/xAzuv.
The Need for nutrients TMDL Some nutrients are good in moderation, but excess nutrients, like phosphorous and nitrogen, are harmful for aquatic systems, animal health, and human health. When too much nitrogen and phosphorous are introduced to the environment it causes algae to grow at a rate that the ecosystem can’t handle. Large growth of algae are called algal blooms that create a green layer over ponds. Algal blooms reduce or eliminate oxygen in water which cause fish illness and death. The primary sources of nitrogen and phosphorous are agriculture, storm water, wastewater, and households.
The need for bacteria TMDL Bacteria can accumulate in lakes and beaches from wildlife and pet waste, sanitary sewer overflows, livestock, and agriculture. Wildlife, pet, human, and livestock feces contain harmful bacteria and viruses. Nutrients, like phosphorous and nitrogen from fertilizers, can cause algal blooms in water CALL: 703-806-3406 EMAIL: usarmy.belvoir.idsustainment.mbx.dpw-enrdstormwater@mail.mil

which is favorable to bacterial growth. All the bacteria from these items can be washed into streams when it rains. Bacteria is responsible for many waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever and therefore threatens our drinking water quality, recreational activities and fishing economies.
Help Belvoir achieve pollution diet goals • Pick up your pet’s waste as it is rich in nitrogen. These nutrients pollute storm water. A single gram of pet waste contains an average of 23 million fecal coliform bacteria. • Reduce or stop use of fertilizers in a lawn or garden. Don’t apply them before it rains. • Pick up leaves and yard clippings, as they will wash into storm drains. When they decompose, they will contribute to nutrient pollution and poor water quality. • Prevent Sanitary Sewer Overflow – Fats, oils or grease should not be flushed down the toilet or poured down the sink. Some products cause clogs in sewer pipes as they don’t break down like tissue paper. Throw away wipes in the trash can. • Report storm water pollution. Keep your eye out for storm water pollution and report it.
