Elections coming: know your rules
By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle
O
ne of the hallmarks of the U.S. is our freedom of speech, and the Defense Department has a longstanding policy of encouraging everyone to carry out the obligations of citizenship, including voting in elections. But, as the National Capital Region prepares for spring primary elections, government employees and Service members need to know that DoD regulations and the Hatch Act set limits on political activity. That is defined as any activity directed toward the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office or partisan political group. The Hatch Act, passed in 1939, restricts the political activity of civilian employees and a DoD directive applies similar rules to Service members. Albert Veldhuyzen, chief of administrative law at Belvoir’s Office of Staff Judge Advocate, said Service members cannot campaign, be involved in a partisan political campaign, or run for partisan office. Nor can they attend any political rallies in uniform. “They can obviously vote, and donate, and they can also attend events as spectators, and have one bumper sticker, per car, per election,” he said, citing the example that if there is a senate and A2

congressional race, you are allowed to have one bumper sticker for each race. “But, DoD regulations for Service members prevent them from plastering their car with stickers for the same candidate. Federal workers have a little more freedom, according to Veldhuyzen, as the Hatch Act allows them to participate in partisan elections, hold office in a partisan organization, hold a party office and attend political conventions. “No employees can fundraise for, and be involved in any way, fundraising for a candidate. If you get a fundraising request on Facebook, you can’t forward that to others,” he said. He said all this is to ensure the military and civilian workforce aren’t overtly politicized, and that they’re public servants first. It shouldn’t matter what political party is in power, as federal workers must maintain their professionalism. He noted that a line can be drawn between issue advocacy, such as gun control or abortion, which is allowed, and electioneering, which involves a particular candidate. “It can sometimes be a grey area,” Veldhuyzen said, recalling a complaint he handled. “A big banner saying, ‘Thank you President Trump’ is not necessarily an election message, A5

since it’s not an explicit ‘vote for…,’ it’s not electioneering.” Political signs are also not allowed in any of The Villages of Belvoir, since that is federal property.
Both location and work-hours can affect social media behavior, such as liking or forwarding political posts that advocate for or against a party or candidate while on the job or in a government building. Veldhuyzen warned that employees and Service members should remain vigilant. “The Office of Special Counsel that handles the Hatch Act is very proactive, and, if they get a complaint, they’re likely to follow up,” he said. Inadvertent violations could include a supervisor asking a worker who they support in an election. “Be careful not to start pushing a particular candidate,” he cautioned. More information on political activities and Hatch Act guidance on social media is available from ogc.osd.mil.

BELVOIR HOUSING UPDATE Compiled by USAG Fort Belvoir Public Affairs
Updates on Belvoir housing initiatives concern, the QA team will go out and look see what needs to be corrected.
By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

elvoir Garrison brought a broad focus to this quarter’s Community Town Hall, Feb. 11, to discuss resident housing issues. Officials from Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region/ Military District of Washington; Belvoir garrison; Installation Management and Army Materiel commands; Fort Belvoir Hospital; and housing partners updated residents on changes and ongoing improvements.
Focus groups still vital Col. Michael Greenberg, Belvoir Garrison commander, noted communication about housing continues to rely on information from monthly focus groups, which have been meeting for a year. He said one of the biggest initiatives over the last six months has been adding Garrison Quality Assurance teams, which perform checks on behalf of the government, confirming every potential issue has been inspected and resolved. He said the QA teams are driven by a rule: • 100% of all life, health and safety issues. Work orders associated with those issues means a government quality assurance rep will check that work is done accordingly. • 100% inspection of transitioning homes, which has been extended from eight to 15 days. When that home sees a complete turn, between tenants, garrison inspects those homes and ensures they are safe and secure for the next family. • Residents from 5% of each day’s work orders are randomly called, and, if someone has a

Hygienist added to QA “In the last three months, thanks to the surgeon general, AHC Public Health Center and the rest of the medical community, we’ve added a hygienist to ensure houses are suitable for living,” said Greenberg, adding the hygienist identifies the source of a problem and provides personalized education to the residents. Additionally, Greenberg noted that some completed homes are reserved for displaced families. “Six or eight months ago, we didn’t have vacant houses, because we were 99.6% occupied. As families came out of the house for (remediation), we knew the work would take more than one or two months,” he said. Now … we’re making those homes available for displaced families … another initiative that has really helped us out,” he said. Casey Nolan, with Clark, Belvoir’s private partner for housing, said the Michaels maintenance team is focused on getting it right, especially for families new to living on Belvoir. “ … It’s taking a little longer to get those homes ready, but every single family that’s moving in today, we’re getting off on the right foot, and haven’t had any displaced residents out of the gate. “We’ve done over 150 life, health and safety inspections, and the property management team is working on a preventative maintenance rollout, to tackle 100% of the homes over the course of 2020. It’s our goal to get into every single one of the houses and check them. And, if you find an issue, we’re going to fix it,” he said.

Morgan is a combat veteran with Airborne and Ranger tabs and has also served as a combat diver. As an astronaut, he has completed seven spacewalks and one space flight to the International Space Station. He will share some of his Army story and his experiences in space during the 20-minute live call with future Soldiers. The Army and NASA have been working together for more than 60 years. While there are only three active-duty astronauts in the Army, the detachment is only a small fraction of the Army’s space assets. The Army is the largest user of spaceenabled systems, often for communications and intelligence. Army operations are critically reliant on space services and capabilities, as Soldiers need satellites in space to help them see, shoot, move and communicate. “We need qualified and innovative people to help us continuously adapt to the changing world,” Michaelis said. “The young men and women who will begin their Army story with the incredible experience with Colonel Morgan are part of our future. They will perform the traditional jobs most people associate with the Army, like Infantry and Armor, but they will also take on roles many people don’t realize we do: highly technical and specialized careers in science, technology, engineering and math.” The oath of enlistment ceremony and question-and-answer session with Morgan streams live on NASA TV, DVIDS and U.S. Army Facebook and YouTube pages.

Stormwater management benefits environment
By DPW-Environmental
U
rbanization may be good for the economy, but the increase in impermeable surfaces can cause damaging effects to the natural water cycle. When rain falls on pervious surfaces, like vegetated areas, it is absorbed; taken up by trees and plants; or flows into rivers, streams or wetlands, naturally. Poorly managed stormwater can cause serious damage to our waterways, by creating downstream erosion, carrying pollutants into our waters and causing localized flooding. Impervious surfaces, like roads, sidewalks and roofs, prevent infiltration of rainwater and results in large amounts of runoff. Instead of being absorbed, rainwater flows into the
nearest stormwater drain or into local waters. The water transports with it pollutants like oils; salt; fertilizers; yard clippings; soil and litter, which can be harmful to habitats, wildlife and drinking water. Stormwater Best Management Practices, or BMPs, are tools to manage stormwater runoff. They reduce the speed and volume of runoff and filter out pollutants. Implementing BMPs improve stream health by preventing erosion, alleviating localized flooding, Courtesy photo and reducing the amount of pollutants that enter our streams. Pollution and flood prevention is much more affordable than cleaning polluted water and repairing infrastructure after the damage has been done. Benefits of effective stormwater runoff management include: • Protecting wetlands and aquatic ecosystems
can plan for around your homes to prevent pollutants and other materials from entering storm drains.
Build a rain garden, planter box A rain garden is similar to a regular garden, except it is designed to receive extra rain from roofs, paved areas, or roads and allows water to move slowly through the garden, filtering the rain water. Planter boxes are a great option for homeowners and can double as a flower or vegetable garden.
Create a simple rooftop disconnection A Roof Top Disconnection directs rainwater into the landscape where it can spread out, slow down and infiltrate. This also directs rain water away from house foundations, which can get damaged and/or flooded in low-lying areas like a basement.
Install permeable or grass block pavers Permeable pavement increases infiltration and groundwater recharge, while reducing the volume and rate of runoff. The grid system installation allows homeowners to extend their lawns while still being able to park on it without any damage. For more information on stormwater best management practices, visit epa.gov. This article includes additional information from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Army P3T offers fitness training for pregnant, postpartum Soldiers in P3T will come off their profile prior to Oct. 1. As such, we have a blended program in which we still focus on Army Physical Fitness Test standards, pushups, sit-up and the two-mile run, but we’re slowly integrating the new ACFT standards for those Soldiers who will have a delivery date within six months of when the ACFT takes over,” he said. “At this stage of the transition, we focus on APFT exercises some days, and on other days, we focus on the ACFT. “While the exercises are all variations of APFT and ACFT requirements, the main difference is the order in which they’re being done and focusing on the safety considerations. The instructors and facilitators are aware of signs and symptoms that a pregnant or postpartum Soldier may be experiencing,” Gonzalez said. “The intent is to get our Soldiers to the levels of fitness they had before they became pregnant.” “This program helps pregnant women to be physically fit when they have their babies and when they need to get back in shape to pass the ACFT,” said instructor Sgt. Yamili Rodriguez, Army Geospatial Intelligence Battalion. Four postpartum Soldiers participated part in the P3T session, Feb. 18. Instructor, Sgt. 1st Class Richard Mantanona, Belvoir P3T NCIOC, began the workout with a safety briefing and an explanation of each exercise station, and then ran the participants through a vigorous warm-up. The main exercises included several Photos by Rick Musselman styles of pushups and Sgt.

Technology recognizes faces in the dark Night vision working By fusing night vision with facial recognition, Hu said, troops in low lighting or even pitch-black environments at standoff distances of a few hundred meters can automatically pinpoint potential persons of interest, heavy cosmetics use, off-angle poses, amount of light, etc. Once an infrared image is taken, the thermal technology automatically cross-references it against existing biometric face gallery databases and watch lists containing visible face imagery, he said, adding this will help Soldiers make quicker, safer and more intelligent decisions on the battlefield. Now, the algorithm used to couple the thermal imagery to the image databases are roughly 90% accurate on a controlled test dataset, Hu said, but further research into the applications will improve those numbers. Facial recognition technology and thermal imagery are nothing new for the Army, but combining them is revolutionary.
Infrared cameras Infrared is commonly found on Soldiers’ body-worn cameras, and in aerial and ground vehicles, Hu said. Conventional facial recognition software, typically in well-lit Photo by Thomas Brading conditions using normal cameras, is used on the battlefield. A heat signature from a thermal image is used to test facial recognition technology, Feb. 5, at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Md. The technology will be adapted into handheld equipment for Soldiers to “Under nighttime and low-light automatically identify people, even in low light. conditions, there isn’t enough light to capture facial imagery without using By Thomas Brading artificial lighting, such as a flash or spotlight, initial algorithm to tie data into integrated Army News Service without compromising a Soldier’s safety or software and hardware platforms that will giving up their location to potential enemies,” or many, normal facial recognition, eventually get into Soldiers’ hands. he said. used in daylight, has become a facet of The new technology, although nearly five Force protection and surveillance everyday life.

SecDef advises against using genetic testing kits By Office of the Secretary of Defense
Voting Assistance Workshop
I
t has come to the attention of the Defense Department that some direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies are encouraging DoD personnel to buy genetic ancestry and health information, by offering military discounts or other incentives. These genetic tests, largely unregulated, could expose personal and genetic information and potentially create unintended security consequences and increased risk to the joint force and mission. Exposing sensitive genetic information to outside parties poses personal and operational risks to Service members. DTC genetic tests that provide health information have varying levels of validity, and many are not reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration before they are offered, meaning they may be sold without independent analysis to verify the seller’s claims. Possible inaccuracies pose more risks to military personnel than the public, due to Service member requirements to disclose medical information that affects readiness. Testing outside the military health system is unlikely to include a clear description of this risk. Moreover, there is increased concern in the scientific community that outside parties are exploiting the use of genetic data for questionable purpose, including mass surveillance and the ability to track people without their authorization or awareness. Until notified otherwise, military personnel are advised to refrain from buying and/or using DTC genetic services. Service members are responsible for Individual Medical Readiness, or IMR; and commanders are responsible for ensuring Service members’ IMRs are current, according to the DoD instruction, Individual Medical Readiness.

Members of the Center for Army Analysis took part in its annual cleanup at Belvoir’s Accotink Creek. The group removed more than 500 pounds of trash from the creek, an area often used by Service members and their families for exercise and recreation. Recent storms created a natural dam in the creek, which became a trash collection point. By cleaning this area, CAA personnel prevent the trash from reaching the Potomac River and, eventually, the ocean.
