Suicide survivor, author speaks Sept. 6 By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Ca-Asia Lane, suicide survivor advocate and author speaks at 10 a.m., Sept. 6 in Thurman Auditorium. Lane is a retired Army commissioned military police officer whose husband died by suicide in 2008. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., Lane said ahead of her visit. “It’s estimated that for every suicide, six survivors are immediately affected, at a minimum,” Lane said. “This can grow, depending on the person who is lost and how they affected society, overall.” She added the impact designer Kate Spade’s recent suicide had on her. Lane’s theme for survivors is “hope, help, and healing,” which encompasses the survivor’s perspective, she said, and is also for those who are suffering and need help. Photo by Paul Lara

Community enjoys annual Springfield BridgeWalk By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir and the Springfield community celebrated its partnership with Springfield’s annual BridgeWalk and community covenant signing, Tuesday evening. Community members, local political leadership, and Belvoir leadership walked across the Veterans Bridge before convening at the American Legion Post 176. “Thank you, all, for the support and friendship you have provided … and continue to provide … to the Service members and families who live and work at Fort Belvoir,” said Col. Michael Greenberg, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander. “The relationship we have and enjoy with the Springfield community has truly created a welcoming and supportive environment for all Service members and their families.” The BridgeWalk is special to the community, because of its deep roots with the military, said Supervisor Jeff McKay, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors’ Lee District.
“We are proud, in Fairfax County, of the men and women who serve our nation in all of our armed services who put their lives on the line for our liberties, here, in Fairfax County,” McKay said. “We’re blessed to have a significant military community, and we want to always keep those bonds strong.” The significance of the BridgeWalk and the covenant signing shows their commitment to continuing to build their relationship with the community, McKay said. “As we sign this covenant tonight, may we reflect upon the reason we are here,” Greenberg said before the signing. “Working together enables us to create strong communities – communities that support our military, their families and Fort Belvoir’s missions. “As a new garrison commander in my fourth week, signing this document, to me, shows Belvoir’s willingness and dedication to continued partnership and support shared between our communities,” Greenberg said.

Staff officers’ course graduates 125 Submitted by Army Command and General Staff School On Aug. 16, 125 students graduated from the Army Command and General Staff Officers’ Course, or CGSOC, at the Fort Belvoir Satellite Campus, with Brig. Gen. Douglas A. Sims II, deputy director for Regional Operations and Force Management, J-35, serving as the guest speaker. The Belvoir campus, in Barden Education Center, provides the 16week resident course CGSOC common core instruction three times a year to active duty, Army Reserve and Army National Guard field grade officers from all branches. The August graduating class was also composed of federal civilian employees from agencies like FEMA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The Belvoir students get the same resident instruction that officers get during the CGSOC common core at the college’s main campus at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The students received instruction in critical and creative thinking; effective writing, speaking and briefing; strategic context; unified action; Army Doctrine and planning; operational art and planning; force management; military history and operational level leadership. At the end of the course students
completed a rigorous, Common Core Comprehensive Examination, which had two components, an online exam and an oral exam, conducted over a five days. The exam and course prepared the students to plan and conduct unified land operations in leadership positions on Army, joint, multinational and interagency staffs after graduation. In addition to the common core instruction, many of the Belvoir satellite campus students completed one of four elective classes offered: Genocide Prevention, held at the Holocaust Memorial Museum; USAID, operations within the interagency and national security framework, conducted at Barden and at USAID’s headquarters; Leadership Lessons from George Washington, at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate; and Logistics for the Battalion Executive Officers, at Barden. Some students also participated in social events, including an icebreaker at the Belvoir Golf Club, bike rides and smaller, social events. Two guest speakers addressed the students during the course. Lt. Gen. Michael D. Lundy, Army Combined Arms Center commanding general, discussed the center, recent changes to Army Doctrine and the expectations of the students when they became CGSOC graduates.

Seamands, Army Deputy Chief of Staff G1, provided updates on Army Officer Career Progression, requirements of senior staff officers and maintaining balance while serving in today’s high-tempo Army. To broaden their education, many students visited local sites in the area, including the State Department and USAID. Foreign Area Officer students attended international student receptions hosted by Army
staff at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The course’s honor graduates were Maj. Adam Chang and Maj. Scott Harvie. After graduation, Chang returned to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as a history instructor and Harvie took over as force management officer within the G3, Headquarters, U.S. Army Europe, in Wiesbaden, Germany. The next CGSOC course at Fort Belvoir began Tuesday.

Home-schooled athletes compete in inaugural Gold Medal Games Below: Taryn Moon, 12, competes at the jump rope station during the first Belvoir Homeschoolers Gold Medal Games, Friday at Pullen Field.
By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Sixty students in Fort Belvoir’s Home Educators organization converged on Pullen Field, Friday to compete in the first-ever Child and Youth Services Gold Medal Games, an event geared to give the installation’s home-schooled youth a chance to face off in friendly competition in a variety of sports. According to Julie Libert, event host and CYS sports and fitness assistant director, the Games came about as an effort to promote fitness and athletics across the entire age demographic on post. “This event is to help the Homeschoolers kick off their school year,” she said. “CYS has a fitness class, which is basically PE, for the kids at the Child Development Centers and the School Age Center, and we do fitness and introduce volleyball, soccer, basketball and others. We’ve always wanted to bring the Homeschoolers into the fitness and sports program and now we’re able to offer these classes. “Now, we have the Homeschoolers included with the youth from the CDCs, the Markham SAC, and the Teen Center,” Libert said. “The class runs from September to May, and

Easy predictions this year By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Well, as much as I aim for variety in this column, I keep having to return to baseball. It could simply be that I’m spending too much
time checking the standings, something I seldom did before this definitively mediocre season. Condensed down to its most fundamental level, it appears that only two teams in the entire league showed up to win this season. I realize that’s a pretty bold statement, but if you look at the current standings, in both the National and American Leagues, it’s clear that the Red Sox and the Yankees are the only two clubs holding relatively impressive win-loss numbers. I’ll give a nod to the As and the Astros over
in the AL West division who, at the time of this writing, share a .600 in the Pct. column. But, somewhere in the 500s is where most every other MLB team is playing. I’ve decided that there are two possibilities heading into the post season. Either Boston is going to go all the way, somewhat like the Yankees did in 1998, or they’ll be eliminated in the divisional round and New York will emerge from the wild-card round to take the series. I predict this, simply because I can’t find anybody in the NL consistent enough to challenge either one of them.

MWR’s annual Pooch Plunge Sept. 8 By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Fort Belvoir’s Connelly Outdoor Pool at the Officers’ Club “goes to the dogs,” Sept. 8 when MWR wraps up another summer swim season with the 2018 Pooch Plunge, a chance for canine community members to get in one last dip before fall. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the cost is $3 per dog (people are free). “This event is an opportunity to give patrons and their dogs a little fun in the outdoors,” said Romel Voellm, Community Center activities director. More than 50 members of Belvoir’s canine community enthusiastically took to Connelly Pool to celebrate the Pooch Plunge dog swim in 2017. Dogs great and small — from Saint Bernards, German shepherds and golden retrievers to pugs, poodles, terriers and Yorkies — spent the day enjoying the end-of-summer celebration with more than 100 of their human family members. According to Voellm, the event is one of the most popular celebrations of the year. “We usually have at least 50 dogs come to this,” he said. “This is one of my favorite events. We also have

It’s just a lot of fun.” The Pooch Plunge is the one day out of the year when dogs can enjoy free reign over the pool, diving into the water to retrieve toys and balls,
swimming laps, enjoying a snack or two or just interacting with their fellow animals on a warm September day. Coordinators from MWR and the Community Center put the event together and volunteers from the
American Red Cross often make the rounds answering questions and providing information on the services the organization provides with its many canine volunteers. The Pooch plunge is open to all members of the Fort Belvoir community. The Connelly Outdoor Pool Complex at the Officers’ Club is located at 5500 Schulz Circle.

Army CID announces new crime tips system Submitted by Army CID The Army community and American public now have the ability to use their computers and smartphones to submit tips about crimes, suspicious activity or threats to the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Command, CID, via a new, digital crime tips system. The CID crime tips system recently transitioned to a web-based and smartphone-app submission method. The public can access the system via any Internet-connected device by visiting, http://www.cid. army.mil/. In addition to the web interface, the app is to submit tips and is available for free download from the Apple Store and Google Play at http://www.p3tips.com/app. aspx?ID=325. According to Christopher L. Adams, a CID special agent and the implementation project manager, the new system provides users a safe, secure and anonymous method to report criminal activity and security threats, without concerns of re-
taliation or fear. He explained that whenever a person submits a tip online, a completed form is securely transferred directly to Army CID through a Secure Sockets Layer connection, which means that the tips are encrypted, entirely confidential and completely anonymous. Users can also attach images, videos and documents with their tips. “This new system is the ideal solution for ‘tipsters’ to report criminal activities or suspicious activity anonymously. Tips received will be seamlessly assigned to a variety of units for further investigation. Additionally, people providing anonymous tips will be able to communicate with the CID Agents,” Adams said. “After submitting a tip, a tip reference/ID number is created that allows the tipster to create a password to check the status of the submitted tip or check on the status of a reward – if applicable. So do not misplace your ID number, as it will be needed to check on the status of your tip.” There is also a multi-language feature for global use, which al-
lows tips to be auto-converted into English on the backend, regardless of the language in which they were submitted. Tips will be responded to in English and auto-translated back to their source language during the two-way dialog process. According to Christopher Grey, CID’s spokesman, the previous methods of reporting a crime to CID remains in effect until the new Crime Tips System is fully implemented. “It is critical for people to say something when they see something
and it literally can mean the difference between someone receiving the justice they deserve or victimizing another innocent person,” Grey said. “Although we prefer people with information to use the new digital Crime Tips system, they can still report a crime through our current methods until these methods are phased out within the next 60 days contact your local CID office, contact 1-844-ARMY-CID (844-276-9243) or email CID at Army.CID.Crime.Tips@ mail.mil.”
Establishing Army Futures Command marks a culture shift By Joe Lacdan Army News Service In empty office space on the 19th floor of a University of Texas System building in Austin, Friday, the Army unveiled the location for the headquarters of its new Futures Command, which has the monumental task of modernizing the service’s future force. For the first time, the Army will place a major command in an urban setting, instead of on a military base. The goal is to bring it closer to technology innovators and researchers in one of the nation’s top growing technology cities. “We needed to immerse ourselves in an environment where innovation occurs, at speeds far faster than our current process allows,” said Mark T. Esper, Army secretary. “We searched for a location that had the right combination of top-tier academic talent, cutting edge industry and an innovative private sector.” The Army announced in October its intent to create a new command that would be responsible for modernization. Initially, some 150 cities were considered as possibilities to house the new command’s headquarters. Eventually, that number was pared down to five, including Austin. Ultimately, Austin scored the highest among those remaining five cities. Criteria for the final selection included density of industry and academic talent and proximity to private sector innovation. Austin boasts a growing number

of professionals in the science and tech industries and hosts academic institutions with thousands of graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career fields. “A u s t i n ’s a l r e a d y a h u b o f innovation,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. “And (it’s) a business-friendly environment ... this will allow our military Department of Defense personnel access to the countless startups and emerging technology entrepreneurs already at work here.” The Army Futures Command is tasked with, among other things, developing future warfighting concepts, generating innovative solutions through research and development, and building the next generation of combat systems.
Gen. John M. Murray, who served previously as the Army’s deputy chief of staff, G-8, was named the new command’s director. “Our Futures Command will have a singular focus: to make Soldiers and leaders more effective and more lethal today and in the future,” Murray said. “This must be a team (effort). It’s about working together to ensure our Soldiers have the capabilities they need when they need them, to deploy, fight and win on the modern battlefield against an incredibly lethal enemy. “We will bring the best talent we can -- inside and outside the capital -- to address the Army’s most pressing problems,” Murray continued. “And deliver solutions at the speed of relevance … the speed
our Soldiers deserve. For too long, we have focused on the cost schedule or performance. We must now focus on value.” For now, the Army Futures Command will lead eight, crossfunctional teams that are responsible for furthering the Army’s pursuit of six modernization priorities, including long-range precision fires; a next-generation combat vehicle; future vertical lift platforms; a mobile and expeditionary Army network; air and missile defense capabilities; and Soldier lethality. Army leadership said it will take about a year before Army Futures Command reaches full operational capability. The new command is expected to eventually include about 100 military positions and 400 civilian roles. Gen. Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff of the Army, credited the late Sen. John McCain of Arizona with helping spur the new command’s development. “He planted the seed,” Milley said. Milley said the character of war is changing, and that private sector innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence will eventually find their way onto battlefields in the hands of enemies. Army Futures Command will ensure U.S. Soldiers also have the best technology. “We know there’s a multitude of emerging technologies that are going to have, whether we like it or not, impact on the conduct of military operations,” Milley said. “It is this command ... that is going to determine victory or defeat.”

Survivor, page A1 Lane said she hopes people who hear her speak will learn to help each other in times of need more, even with little things, like asking to help or asking how someone is. She also expects to discuss trigger points for suicide survivors … those small, seemingly insignificant, things that become overwhelming after someone is lost to suicide. For Lane, who said she never took out the trash while her husband was alive, taking out
the garbage was a trigger point for her. “(Suicide) is important because it crosses all lines. It crosses all boundaries,” she said, “It has no ethnicity to it. It’s not connected to an economic background. No racial background. It can affect any areas and all scopes of life.” Almost 47,000 people are lost to suicide each year, she said. If you include survivors in that number, the significance is even higher. “Multiply that by six. That’s the tremendous effect that it has on us as a nation,” Lane said.
