And the German Army Band played on! By Margaret Steele Copy Editor

n a lively, musical cultural e x c h a n g e, a Fo r t B e l v o i r audience had a chance last week to see a classical chamber concert performance by the HMK Kassel, or the Germany Army Band Kassel. The concert, in Fort Belvoir’s Wallace Theater, was part of “Wunderbar Together,” a nationwide program highlighting more than 25 years of German-American partnership. “The American Soldiers and civilian employees are outstanding people,” said German army Col. Helmut Frietzsche, commander of the German Armed Forces Command, before the performance. “We ask for assistance, we get it,” he said. “We train together, we march together and we play together,” he said. “God Bless America and our partnerships.” Col. Michael Greenberg, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander, said the concert was a special event

Washington. “The Germans have been integral in helping our Service members train for and earn the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge. However, in addition to work, we benefit from exceptional, mutual support, important dialog and a long-standing, valued relationship,” Greenberg said before the concert. Kassel conductor, Lt. Col. Tobias Terhardt, started the concert with both countries’ national anthems. Between songs, Terhardt told the audience it was a pleasure and an honor for the band to be performing to a Belvoir audience. “This is great for us,” he said. He then led the band in melodies, marching music and a rendition of the ‘Beer Barrel Polka.’ A classical overture from an operetta was both lively and somber at times. Alternately, the band’s repertoire included a number that had 163 beats per minute with a saxophone feature; another with a trumpet solo and Kassel’s version of ‘Rock Me Amadeus,’ which included a vocal

part. Michael Bouie said loved what he saw of the concert, before he had to leave to get his son. “I try to come to all the events I see,” he said, adding he likes the diversity of what Belvoir offers. Before the concert, Jan Fitzgerald and Ron Valentine reminisced about living in Germany. “We met in 1979 in Heidelburg, when we were both illustrators for the Army,” Fitzgerald said. She was there for 3 years and Valentine lived there for 6 years. “We like to hear them speaking German and they like to talk,” she said. “We just cannot resist anything German, the beauty of the land and the people.” She suggested that everyone take any opportunity to interact with people. “You won’t regret it. Eat the food,” she said, smiling, with a brat in one hand and a German beer in the other. German army Maj. Gen. Carsten Breuer, commanding general of Bundeswehr Territorial Command, also attended the concert.

How should cyclists exit Fort Belvoir? In-ground barriers can catch tires, causing falls By Margaret Steele Copy Editor

ome Fort Belvoir bicyclists have experienced difficulties getting off post, through the access control points at the post’s gates. “When the in-ground barriers are flush to the ground, there can still be a half-inch to an inch of a gap between the machine and the road surface,” said Frank Hentschel, director of Garrison’s Directorate of Emergency Services. “These access control barriers act as another level of security, with bars coming up from the roadway. “Vehicles’ tires can typically handle the slight change more easily than bicycle tires,” he said, suggesting cyclists dismount their bicycles and walk over the barriers, to prevent the thinner bicycle tires from getting caught in the mechanisms, possibly hurting the cyclist. On some parts of the bike paths, the bike path space is combined with the road space and isn’t a separate path beside the road, he said. “Where there is no sidewalk or bike path, cyclists and vehicle drivers are asked to share the road and cyclists may want to dismount to cross the barrier,” he said. As an added safety measure, DES has installed water-filled barriers in front of the in-ground barriers, to alert vehicle drivers and bicycle riders and to have everyone drive more slowly over them, Hentschel said. Similar to a sign warning motorcyclists of a gap in a bridge connection, or a large dip or bump in the road, Hentschel wants cyclists to be aware of the possible change in road surface. “We’re asking cyclists and drivers to use extra caution around the barriers and, if they have to enter the roadway traffic, to go around the barriers,” Hentschel said.

Games galore at school carnival PTO raises funds for future events By Paul Lara Special to the Eagle

ort Belvoir Elementary School’s parking lot was abuzz with kids tossing and splashing for the campus’ spring carnival, sponsored by the FBES Parent Teacher Organization. While children competed for sweets in the cakewalk, others chose to visit one of the food trucks at Saturday’s event. Buying a wristband allowed each child to have unlimited access to a variety of games, like the javelin throw; toilet paper toss; ducks in the pond and bowling. “We had planned on having a dunk tank today, but so few people volunteered to get wet, we had to cancel,” said Jamey Chianetta, Fort Belvoir Upper School principal. No one was more disappointed than Col. Michael Greenberg, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander. “I even came dressed to participate,” Greenberg said.

Providing Engineers to D-Day and beyond The Engineer Replacement Training Center, Fort Belvoir By Gustav Person Retired Installation Historian

ditor’s Note: On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, including engineers trained at Fort Belvoir. By day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe marking the beginning of the end of Nazi domination of the continent. Today marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings and the Eagle looks back at Fort Belvoir’s part in training those engineer Soldiers. Honoring the Past – Securing the Future.

were developed, specialized courses in weapons operation were added to the curriculum. Engineers learned about tanks and their uses, flamethrowers and anti-aircraft guns. By the end of the war in 1945, the ERTC at Fort Belvoir had trained roughly 147,000 engineer troops. The Engineer School appointed Lt. Col. William M. Hoge as the first commanding officer of the ERTC. Hoge was a rising star within the Army. During his tour of duty there, he designed an obstacle course (popu-

was adopted at Army installations throughout the country. Later in the war, Hoge was given command of the Provisional Engineer Special Brigade Group, which included two Engineer Special Brigades. On June 6, 1944, Hoge’s command, with many Soldiers trained at Fort Belvoir, played a significant part in securing the initial beachhead at Omaha Beach in Normandy, and he remained in command of the beachhead until July. Hoge was later appointed to command Combat Com-

The outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939 and the Japanese expansion in Asia and the Pacific motivated the United States government to begin preparing for possible involvement in the expanding world conflict. Army engineers would be needed to provide critical support to Allied forces by building roads and bridges, clearing obstacles, providing maps and engineering demolitions. To prepare engineers adequately for their wartime role, Fort Belvoir once again became one of the Army’s primary engineer training sites.

Fort Belvoir expanded To accommodate the influx of draftees after 1940, an additional 3,000 acres north of U.S. Route 1 were acquired to make room for the new Engineer Replacement Training Center. In March 1941, the ERTC facility began to provide basic military engineer training to draftees. Originally, the ERTC program was designed as a 12-week course, but its duration was shortened to eight weeks early in 1942 when the demand for troops escalated dramatically after Pearl Harbor. Recruits were schooled in reconnaissance, unit coordination, road and obstacle construction and demolition. After mid-1942, Belvoir began training engineer specialists in operating construction machinery, carpentry, drafting and surveying. As the war progressed and new weapons

larly known as a “steeplechase for Soldiers”) for military and physical fitness training. A Fort Belvoir invention, the course was designed to teach recruits how to handle themselves and their equipment in simulated field conditions. Belvoir’s obstacle course incorporated walls to climb over, hurdles to jump over, barbed wire to crawl under, ditches to swing over and pipes to crawl through. The course operated at the ERTC during the spring of 1941 and was replaced in November 1941 with a more rigorous one designed by Maj. Lewis Prentiss. Proven to be a highly effective training exercise, the obstacle course

mand B of the 9th Armored Division, which successfully defended St. Vith during the Battle of the Bulge. On March 7, 1945, the leading elements of his command seized the Ludendorff Railroad Bridge over the Rhine River at Remagen. The demands of the global conflict created personnel shortages, and various strategies were developed to overcome these shortfalls. To remedy the shortage of qualified officers during the early years of the war, an Engineer Officer Candidate School was established at Fort Belvoir in July 1941. During the course of the war, EOCS commissioned over

22,000 new second lieutenants.

Engineer Training By November 1942, 30,260 personnel were assigned to the post. Nearby locations were cited for fixed and floating bridges, demolitions, field fortifications, roads, obstacles and weapons training areas. Heavy engineer equipment, machines and pontoon boats poured in. During the second year (March 1942 – March 1943), 120 bridges of all kinds were constructed. Four hundred timber obstacles were erected, and 36 antitank ditches were dug. Over 200,000 yards of barbed wire were used to construct field fortifications. In the floating bridge area – a 2,000-foot dredged channel that averaged 250 feet wide – six companies could train simultaneously. Accotink Creek, on the west side of the Belvoir peninsula, could accommodate four steel bridges, 16 wooden trestle bridges and 48 foot bridges. Bailey Bridge training followed final adoption of the bridge by the Corps of Engineers in February 1943. In the spring of 1943, the ERTC’s emphasis shifted from furnishing fillers for new units to replacing battle casualties. Soldiers normally trained Monday thru Friday and a half-day on Saturday. Higher headquarters required all replacements must “so far as practicable…be subjected during training to every sight, sound and sensation of battle.” Realistic conditions included live ammunition, land mines and night bridging. Experiences in North Africa called for more tanks to add realism and to test bridges and obstacles. Instructors placed greater emphasis on building physical endurance. Soldiers soon began training at locations off post. Convoys were organized to transport trainees to Big Meadows in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Luray, Va. where Soldiers lived and trained for three weeks in the field under simulated combat conditions. Later on, this training moved to Fort A.P. Hill, about 15 miles southeast of Fredericksburg, Va. This training culminated in a 20-mile road march. Each Soldier carried a rifle, carbine or pistol; a field jacket; helmet; canvas leggings; gas mask; and a cartridge belt with first aid pack, canteen and light pack. At the end of World War II in 1945, Fort Belvoir became a demobilization center designed to ease the transition between military and civilian life.

SMA: Boards to rank NCOs solely on merit By Gary Sheftick Army News Service

Stormwater moves pollutants into waterways By Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division

ummer is here. If you’re looking for ways to keep pollution prevention in mind while you’re outdoors and doing your summer activities, here are some tips:

Lawn care Help protect the Chesapeake Bay while caring for your lawn by reducing the amount of fertilizers and preventing soil erosion. Follow the instructions to ensure you are not overusing fertilizers. Use non-phosphorous fertilizer. Do not apply fertilizers right before it rains. This contaminates stormwater and doesn’t give the plants the fertilizer’s nutrients. Cover bare areas around your building. Bare soil contributes to soil erosion. Prevent erosion by reseeding, placing mulch on, or planting vegetation on bare areas.

Car washing, maintenance Soaps, detergents, oils, and hydraulic fluids are toxic to aquatic life so special care should be taken when dealing with these common pollutants to protect our waterways. The carwash on Gorgas Road is the best option for washing personal vehicles. Water from the carwash goes into an oil/water separator and then to a sanitary sewer, so the water gets treated before entering our local waters. If the carwash is not possible, wash your car in an area that drains to a pervious surface (gravel and grassy areas). If your wash area is paved and slopes towards an inlet, roll up a few towels to divert runoff to a lawn. The Kawamura Autoskills Center provides the space, supplies, and even advice at a reasonable price, for maintaining your car. Change your oil by using drip pans and funnels to prevent spills. If you’re home, put cardboard or newspaper underneath the vehicle to catch drops of oil or

other vehicle fluids, while doing maintenance. Recycle used oil. Do not pour it into the ground or down a storm drain. Inspect your car frequently for leaks and repair them as soon as possible.

Construction activities Construction is the biggest cause of soil erosion and water contamination. Disturbed, bare soil is more susceptible to being swept away by stormwater and can carry pollutants to our streams. Chemicals, metals, nitrogen, phosphorous, fertilizers and pesticides can all bind to sediment. If you see large amounts of sediment tracking from construction sites on post or discharging directly into local water bodies, call the Fort Belvoir Environmental Division at 703-806-3406, or e-mail us at usarmy. belvoir.imcom-atlantic.mbx.dpwenrd-stormwater@mail.mil.

Pet walking Pet waste causes bacteria in our waters, because stormwater will carry it into our streams. While going on walks with your pets, bring a bag to scoop up your pet’s waste and deposit it into a trash can. Reuse plastic shopping bags or buy biodegradable bags at a pet store to bring on your walks. Belvoir also has pet waste stations set up on the installation.

Hiking/picnicking P r a c t i c e “ L e a v e N o T r a c e.” Everything you bring into a park or trail, take home with you. This includes the charcoal, leftover food and trash. Food peelings and leftovers are biodegradable, but they attract unwanted animals and critters to trails and picnic areas. Make sure to dispose of these items into trash. Plastics and papers should be recycled. Visit us on Facebook by searching Fort Belvoir Environmental Division for more information.

More deserving Soldiers will be promoted sooner and fewer school seats should go vacant under the Army’s new Enlisted Centralized Promotion Board process, said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel Dailey. Dailey took part in a Facebook Live session, May 29, with Sgt. Maj. Mark Clark of the G-1 Directorate of Military Personnel Management. They discussed changes to the Army’s noncommissioned officer boards scheduled to be implemented over the next three years. “It used to be called a promotion board; in the future it will be called an evaluation board,” Dailey said. Future boards will evaluate Soldiers for schooling, assignments and promotion. Under the new process, if an NCO cannot go to school for any reason, then the next in line will immediately be offered the seat, he said.

Talent-based sequence The fundamentals of how NCO records are evaluated by the boards will not change, he said. The big change will come on how those deemed fully-qualified are sequenced. “Previously, board members would vote; and would rack and stack individuals based on DA Pam 600-25 and then they would be resequenced based on time in service, time in grade. That process will not happen anymore,” Dailey said. “It will be a true, talent-based list.” When the board decides a Soldier is the most talented and all prerequisites have been met, that Soldier will be No. 1 on the list. “That number, for the first time in the history of our centralized promotion board system, will show you how you rated against your peers,” Dailey said. It won’t be based simply on seniority. “We want to change our system from largely a time-based system to a talent-based system,” he said, where the most talented is promoted first. “I can assure you that it is the right direction to take our NCO Corps,” Dailey said.

Promotion lists After future boards, a sequenced promotion list will not be published, Clark said. A list of all fully-qualified NCOs will instead be published, alphabetically. “So, there won’t be a committed list where you have to wait 12 to 18

Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey, center, takes the time to greet Fort Leonardwood-based Soldiers during an installation visit, Nov. 1-2. months to be promoted,” he said. NCOs will first be evaluated 18 months out from when eligible, Dailey said. “The perception is going to be that we will promote Soldiers too fast,” Dailey said. “That’s not true.” An NCO must still meet all the qualifications before being promoted, he stressed.

More flexibility Under the old process, boards drew a line across the sequenced list based on an estimate of how many NCOs in that MOS would be needed at that rank. Only those above the line would be promoted. “Sometimes, we got it right. Sometimes, we didn’t,” Dailey said. The new process will allow more NCOs to be promoted mid-year, if more are needed, he explained. “This is an evolving, adapting and changing Army,” he said. “Most importantly, this process will improve Army readiness,” Clark said. “We will now be able to promote Soldiers, assign them and train them, based on being the bestqualified to man our forces …”

Implementation Education about the new board process begins this year with sergeants major and will be followed by training for the trainers. All Soldiers will get a comprehensive education on the new system over the next three years, Dailey said. Current sequence numbers from recent boards remain in effect, for now, Dailey said. The new process will be adopted over time, to keep from hurting any NCOs, he said. The old, centralized promotion process served the Army well for 50 years, Dailey said. “That doesn’t mean we can’t improve upon it,” he added. “It rewards those who are working hard to do what the Army needs them to do,” he said.

Belvoir Soldier named Athlete of the Year By Rick Musselman, Sports Editor, and Gail Cureton, Regional Health Command-Atlantic Regional Public Affairs Officer One of Fort Belvoir’s own recently received the highest recognition an Army athlete can earn—the title of Athlete of the Year. This prestigious distinction is bestowed annually to one male and one female athlete who excel in all aspects of sportsmanship. Capt. Justine Stremick, who joined the Army in 2010 as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program, when attending medical school at Tulane University School of Medicine, received the honor from Col. Michael Greenberg, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander, during a ceremony, May 28 at the Community Center. Stremick was on inactive ready reserve until she graduated in 2014 and went on active duty. She completed her emergency medicine residency at Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis McChord and PCS’d to Fort Belvoir in 2017. She deployed to Afghanistan this past winter for four and a halfmonths where she worked at the HKIA Role II Hospital in Kabul as the chief of Emergency Medicine. Her current assignment is at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and she credits the command team and staff there with playing a major role in her ability to excel as an athlete and achieve this high award. “I work in the Emergency Department as an emergency medicine physician and am part of FBCH’s Alpha Company,” she said. “The support of the unit command and department leadership was instrumental in my ability to go play and compete as part of the All-Army and All-Armed Forces volleyball teams.” “Justine has been a part of the AllArmy Sports Program for two years and is a leader and great player, in every sense of the word,” said Sarah Galon, All-Army Service rep and a member of the Army Athlete of the Year voting committee. “She is

After I graduated, I have continued to find ways to play in my spare time and Photo by Navy Petty Officer 1st Class John Benson have met some incredible people Capt.

All-Army try-outs committed and knows what it takes be a team player, a motivator and a coach on the court. It is great to see her be recognized as a top Army athlete.”

Early sports passion Stremick’s passion for volleyball (and several other sports) began at an early age and her dedication to the game has taken her on an amazing journey that has resulted in some remarkable accomplishments. Stremick’s love for the sport started as a middle school student in Langdon, N.D., where she played with her twin sister, Briana, through high school. Together, the “twin towers” (both sisters are over 6 feet tall) helped their high school team win

the state volleyball championship. She continued playing the sport at the University of Notre Dame, was named to the All Big East Volleyball Team and received the Knute Rockne Student Athlete Award, among other distinctions. “Being from a small town in North Dakota allowed my siblings and me to participate in a wide range of activities. Growing up I played volleyball, basketball, softball, track and field and ran cross country,” she said. “I started playing volleyball in seventh grade, when I was 12 years old. The more I played, the more I loved the sport. I played on an awesome high school team with a very knowledgeable coach and had the chance to play with a few of my sisters. Afterwards, I was

The road to becoming the Army’s best female athlete began when Stremick decided to try out for the All-Army volleyball team, which she’s since made twice. It was something she wanted to do for several years but “the timing was never right,” she said. “When I was in (medical) residency it was really hard to take that time off.” Stremick credits her Troop Command-South leadership, hospital leadership and co-workers with being very supportive of her goal to compete at the highest levels of military sports. “It was so great to have support from the people who I needed to

redefined enthusiasm and team pride when the Red Sox and the White Sox faced off for a fast-paced Tee-ball division match up at Specker Field. The Tee-ball division is designed by Child and Youth Services to introduce the community’s youngest players to the game and teach the fundamentals of hitting and fielding in a safe and controlled setting. Athletes then continue developing

their skills in the coach-pitch and machine-pitch programs before progressing to the Minor and Major divisions for regulation games. Fort Belvoir Little League is comprised of military family members ages 4-16 and is divided into six agespecific divisions — Tee-ball, ages 4-6; machine pitch, ages 7-8; Minors and Majors, ages 9-12; and Juniors and Seniors, ages 13-16.

Regular season games are played Saturdays and one weekday (usually a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) at various locations on and around Belvoir. For information about the Fort Belvoir Little League, including game schedules and field locations, contact Aricka Vaughan, league commissioner, 703-805-1258 or aricka.a.vaughan.naf@mail.mil.

was a big bummer,” she said. “We have a really fun team this year, so I was really disappointed I didn’t get to play the rest of the tournament with them.” Now, back at Fort Belvoir, the emergency medicine physician is recovering on the job and still working shifts in the ER. If all goes well with her recovery, Stremick will join her U.S. Armed Forces Volleyball teammates in October as they compete in the 7th International Conseil International du Sport Militaire Military World Games in Wuhan, China. CISM is the largest military athletics organization in the world and second largest multi-sport organization, after the International Olympic Committee. “I am just working on rehab. I am

going to work hard and I am hoping to be in a position to play again in October,” Stremick said. When asked what advice she would give to a young, up-and-coming athlete setting his or her sights on success, she placed dedication and a strong belief in one’s goals as the key ingredients. “Not everyone is going to be on your side and understand why you want to play. But, if you love your sport, you will find a way,” she said. “Ask early and often. Be persistent. Work hard in the gym. Play in your spare time. Be willing to make sacrifices in other areas. The military offers a unique opportunity to represent not only yourself, but your unit, your branch and the United States on the international stage. You may not get this opportunity again.”

Injury recovery Stremick’s journey, however, has not been without its challenges. After completing her deployment to Afghanistan, she reported to the All-Army volleyball camp and was selected to play in the All-Armed Forces Tournament. During the first match, she tore her ACL on her left leg. Athletes often get ACL injuries when they stop and quickly change directions while running. “So, of course, I didn’t get to play the rest of the tournament and that
