INSCOM HHC welcomes new commander By Sgt. Jeff Storrier U.S. Army INSCOM Public Affairs U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, INSCOM, Headquarters and Headquarters Company welcomed a new commander, Capt. Michael E. Buzzell, in a change of command ceremony at the Nolan Building on Fort Belvoir, Dec. 14. Col. Nichoel E. Brooks, INSCOM deputy commander, officiated the ceremony and reminded those who attended the event the important role the HHC commander plays on a daily basis. “It’s a huge headquarters with a lot of responsibility,” Brooks said. “It’s not just about the ones in uniform. This is an entire INSCOM team that HHC takes care of.” When speaking of the outgoing HHC commander, Capt. Geoff M. Terman, Brooks reminded Buzzell that, “The bar has been set high.” Terman, who is retiring after more than 20 years of service, both enlisted and commissioned, was gracious in his closing remarks. “I owe this team a great
deal of thanks,” Terman said. “Without the INSCOM team’s support, we could not have achieved the success we’ve had over the last 18 months.” Before he ‘signed off the net,’ ending his time in command, Terman thanked his platoon sergeants, first sergeant and executive officer for serving as a sounding board for him and for always putting Soldiers first. Buzzell, incoming commander, is no stranger to INSCOM, arriving at his new position from the 308th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Meade, Md. Buzzell thanked those who prepared him to take command, including Terman. “You’ve really shown me that this is an outstanding company I’m taking charge of,” he said in reference to his predecessor. “I’m extremely excited to be a member of this team.” Headquartered at Belvoir, INSCOM has 19 major subordinate commands with more than 17,500 Soldiers, Department of the Army civilians and contractors located at 180 locations in 45 countries.

Command and General Staff Officers graduate on Belvoir Submitted by Belvoir Satellite Campus U.S. Army Command and General Staff School On Dec. 15, 124 students graduated from the Army Command and General Staff Officers’ Course, or CGSOC, at the Fort Belvoir Satellite Campus, with Lt. Gen. David E. Quantock, the Army’s 65th inspector general, serving as guest speaker. The Belvoir campus, in the Barden Education Center, provides the 16-week resident course CGSOC common core instruction three times a year to active-duty, U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard field grade officers from all branches. The December graduating class was also composed of federal government civilian employees from agencies such as the Center for Army Analysis and the National Counter-Intelligence Security Center. These students received the same resident instruction that officers get during the CGSOC common core at the College’s main campus at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. During this course, 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. For the first time, the students completed a rigorous, Common Core Comprehensive Examination. This examination was a summative assessment that evaluated student learning at the end of the course. The examination had two components, an online exam and an oral exam, conducted over four days. The examination 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 three offered elective classes: Genocide Prevention; Operations Within the Interagency and National Security Framework; and Logistics for the Battalion Executive Officers. To balance the course’s academic portion, the students participated in several social events, including a barbecue, kickball, bike rides and a variety of small, social events. Four guest speakers addressed the students during the course. Gregory Copley, president, International Strategic Studies Association, spoke about national and international security and strategic policy. Maj. Gen. Andrew Poppas, director of force management, U.S. Army Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7, addressed the students

Air Force Lt. Gen. Andrew E. Busch, director, Defense Logistics Agency, discussed the expectations of the joint staff officer. The final guest speaker, Lt. Gen. Michael D. Lundy, commanding general, Army Combined Arms Center, discussed the purpose of Combined Arms Center and the expectations of the students when they became CGSOC graduates. Lt. Gen. Robert P. Ashley Jr., Army deputy chief of staff, G-2, provided a professional development session to the Military Intelligence and Strategic Intelligence Officers on leadership, career management and opportunities. Many of the students visited local sites in
the area, including the State Department and USAID. Foreign area officer students attended monthly international student receptions hosted by the Army staff at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, and met their international counterparts, which expanded their understanding of foreign militaries. The course’s honor graduates were Maj. Kimberly Deaton and Maj. Wendy Pierce. After graduation, Deaton assumed duty with the First Brigade Combat Team, First Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas. Pierce began duty as an operations officer in the Joint Operations Center, U.S. Africa Command, Stuttgart, Germany. The next course at Belvoir started Wednesday.

Belvoir office to stop accepting certain shipment claims
Consolidated processing center in the works Submitted by Claims Office Office of the Staff Judge Advocate Beginning Jan. 13, the Fort Belvoir Claims Office will stop accepting household goods shipment, vehicle shipment, and other, incident-to-service claims for damage and loss (for example, on-post theft, vandalism, fire, flood and other “unusual occurrences) due to the transfer of the personnel claims mission to a consolidated claims processing center. Claims already on-hand will be processed, but all future personnel claims and requests for assistance should be submitted to other Army claims offices as designated in JAGCNET PCLAIMS, until a new claims processing center is fully operational. To find an Army claims office, go to JAGCNET PCLAIMS at https://www.jagcnet5.army. mil/8525763F005D2EF5/ frmHome?open. The claims office directory on the right side of the screen shows Army claims offices that continue to process incidentto-service claims. We suggest people contact a claims office from that list for guidance and help in filing
a claim. A new Centralized Personnel Claims and Recovery Office at Fort Knox, Ky., is standing up and will assume the mission of processing incident-to-service claims of Army members later in 2017. Some local claims offices, including Fort Belvoir, are transferring their positions and personnel to the new claims center. As a result, the Fort Belvoir Claims Office will soon lose its capability to support the personnel claims mission. Other claims offices will continue to have positions dedicated to supporting the personnel claims mission until the new center is finished. These offices are listed at the PCLAIMS site. The Belvoir Claims Office will continue to accept and process claims against the U.S. for property damage, personal injury and wrongful death for incidents arising out of government activities and due to alleged negligence of Soldiers or government employees.

Birders flock to Fort Belvoir By Paul Lara Staff Photographer
Volunteers quietly gathered in the rainy, pre-dawn hours Monday at Outdoor Recreation to participate in a centuries-old annual bird census. Kevin Walter, a natural resource specialist with Belvoir’s Directorate of Public Works, gathered more than 25 volunteers for the annual Fort Belvoir Christmas Bird Count. He paired veteran birders with newcomers and dispatched them to assigned sections on post. Teams of spotters and recorders scoured the landscape looking for every bird, calling out the species to a teammate, who dutifully marks it down on a list of all local bird types. Experienced members also rely on bird calls to identify their subjects, as many of the smaller birds flit through the dense undergrowth, out of sight. According to Walter, most of the species are easily identified. “The birds that are here now aren’t migrating; they’re resident or they’re here for the winter,” he said. The bird count is part of an international effort by the National Audubon Society, with teams spreading out across North America to catalog the quantity, location and species of every bird that is seen
or heard. This annual event, in its 118th year, is critical in determining the overall avian health and population. According to Audubon, it is the nation’s longest-running, citizen science bird project. While Belvoir has been spared from sub-zero temperatures so far, winter weather patterns can change waterfowl populations in a large way, says Walter. “The warmer it is in New England and southern Canada, affects how much waterfowl is here.” Walter noted there are more ducks here than in the last several years, because of the December blast of arctic weather up north, forcing flocks to move south in search of open water and food. Retiree Joanne Hutton volunteered this year, a master naturalist traveling down from Arlington to assist in the census. Hutton has been birding with her husband for almost 20 years and said she really enjoys how it commands her attention, “It’s captivating to be outside, and it slows you down and makes you look for specific things.” If you are interested in helping, anyone can participate, with as little as 15 minutes or as long as they want, in the Great Backyard Bird Count the weekend of Feb. 17. Participants can then report their sightings at www.birdcount.org.

DTRA downs 249th En. Bn. 41-27 in intramural hoops By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Perennial Commander’s Cup contender Defense Threat Reduction Agency maintained surgical offensive precision through two tough, defense-heavy periods to best the 249th Engineer Battalion 41-27 in a week-2 intramural basketball matchup, Dec. 12 at Wells Field House. Early in the showdown between these two well-respected squads, it quickly became apparent that defense would be the name of the game throughout. Both squads struggled to get some momentum out of the starting gate, as swarms of defenders attacked ball handlers en masse, forcing long cross-court passes and scrambling efforts to best the shot clock. DTRA’s starting guards, Ivan Alston and Sam Sheha, nevertheless, went to work threading the ball through Engineer ramparts, connecting with forwards, John Carter; Leonard Terry; and Edward Starr for some early hard-won buckets along the baseline.

DLA employee awarded by Capitol Military Soccer League By Rick Musselman Sports Editor An employee at Defense Logistics Agency, Fort Belvoir, was recognized, Dec. 8 for his efforts in coordinating the Capitol Military Soccer League, an elite varsity-level athletics organization comprised of top-performing players from installations across the Military District of Washington. Andy Green, a veteran athlete at Belvoir who competes each year in several intramural sports, was awarded the U.S. – United Kingdom Defence Cooperation coin by
Maj. Gen. Richard Cripwell, head of British Defence Staff and Defence Attaché in Washington, D.C., during a ceremony, Dec. 8 at the British Embassy. “(Andy’s) contribution to the running and success of the league has, once again, been outstanding this season,” said Karl Brew, deputy civil secretary and head of Corporate Services, British Defence Staff –U.S. “The work that goes into it behind the scenes can obviously be a thankless task. But, we very much appreciate (him) allowing us to play in the league which has been noth-
ing short of brilliant. It’s also been a great opportunity for us to build links with our U.S. colleagues (and some of our international partners). “The depth of those relations aren’t just about the formal exercises, liaison/exchange officers, training courses, etc., but also cover the softer side of sports and social engagement which all contributes to how we ultimately operate alongside each other so well, when it comes to operations; or work together to solve many of the defense and secuSee DLA, Page B3.
Timeout Phantoms By Rick Musselman Sports Editor You may remember the piece I put together for the last issue of the paper last month—the one about the woods behind my parents’ house. Well, I found myself revisiting the thoughts that kept me company that day and one cool, overcast afternoon a week later, I braved the poison ivy and briars and strolled into those very woods, hoping to find some comfort against getting another year older. I’d hardly taken a footstep into the shadowy silence among the skeletal trees when I felt I’d traveled back in time. The rutted, serpentine trail we’d cut with our motorcycles was still there, albeit a bit obscured by four decades of wind, weather and the perpetual creep of vines. And the smell was the same— the damp, earthy aroma of decaying leaves combined with the somehow lonesome bouquet of an old barn. I decided to walk the path, finding that all the major landmarks had managed to survive—the massive oak tree that had been scarred by countless sabers of lightning that had sliced through those woods on summer evenings; the old stone and moss-stained property-line marker that we used to set rusty beer cans on for BB gun practice; and the rotted remains of corrugated sheet aluminum from a tool shed somebody had dismantled and thrown into the weeds when it was no longer worth repairing. It felt a little ethereal traipsing through the underbrush looking for something I couldn’t really identify. It was also strange to remember how big those woods seemed back in the 1970s; in fact, everything seemed big . . . and long—the passing of a year seemed like eternity (a thought that usually plagued your mind when Christmas ended). Even more unsettling was recalling how we would sit on fallen logs and imagine what it’d be like being 40, like our dads. It was just impossible to imagine something that far away (and now it’s 10 years behind us). It’s a shame we fell victim to that cosmic phenomenon that vaporizes deep friendships when high school and pre-adulthood begins (one of life’s unkindest jests). Still, the woods remain, and I’m more or less the same kid.

DTRA from Page B1. But, the Engineers’ pressing-zone formation, spearheaded by guards, Jeremy Schiefer and Chris Jose, forced DTRA to maintain its rapid-fire passing game around the perimeter as Engineer forwards, Roderick Edwards and Brian Sudler, joined forces with veteran center, Travis Tofi, to keep the paint a no man’s land. At the opposite end of the hardwood, Jose and Edwards demonstrated their ability to hit from the three-point arc and draw DTRA fouls with ferocious drives inside. DTRA managed to get a rally up and running late in the period, with Starr, Terry, and shooting guard, Aaron Slack, hitting a series of buckets to establish a comfortable 19-10 advantage before the halftime horn. The Engineers returned to the court with a continuing dedication to defense, crowding DTRA ball handlers with a full-court press. But Alston and Carter responded with a more polished passing game and the entrance of stalwart center, Sheron Goffigan, added to the Engineers’ difficulties with stellar work in the rebound department. Terry and Starr began finding greater scoring opportunities around
the perimeter, courtesy of surgical pick-setting from Goffigan, and rapidly began running away with the contest, putting 10 unanswered points on the board. The Engineers stayed focused on stopping the rally, and guard, Reuben Fairley, and forward, Alejandro Trevino, kept their team alive with some outstanding saves along the baseline, enabling Jose to continually drive into the lane. But, the DTRA offense answered back with another string of buckets and steadily put the matchup out of the Engineers’ reach. When the game clock finally expired, DTRA had put another 22 points in the bag to send the Engineers packing with a 41-27 victory.

But, having spoken to the general, he said he would be delighted to give the award himself and thank him for his contribution,” Brew added. “It was a great honor to meet the defence attache and to have him personally present me with the award,” Green said. “He sat down with me and the American servicemen who play for the Embassy team; he was very welcoming and down to earth and talked to us about the league and thanked us for our contributions.” Green’s responsibilities, both as a member of the DLA team that supports the Army’s worldwide missions every day and as coordinator of the Capitol League and DLA’s intramural squads, are many, but he still has managed to find the time to cover all the bases and even take to the field as a player in DLA’s Commander’s Cup program. “In addition to running the CMSL, I recruit players for and coordinate the Fort Belvoir team, and I play,” he said. “This past season, I’ve played nearly every position on the field. (Teammate) Richard Pina (who was recently awarded by the CMSL for outstanding performance) is the key player in keeping the team focused on the field; his contributions are large, as well. “My responsibilities as commissioner start with keeping open lines of communication with the league captains and base MWRs,” Green continued. “I make sure to talk to all the captains, address their concerns, get their rosters, discuss concerns about weather, etc. I set the league schedule, which is made up of 10 games in 11 weeks on Saturday afternoons, spring and fall. Also, I arrange for officials, help teams in need of personnel, keep the rules up to date. I also run and maintain the league website, https://capitolmilitarysoccer.wordpress.com. There, I keep statistics, league scores and update the schedule for any changes. At the end of the season, I collect nominations and votes for year-end awards, then order the awards for the league champs and runners up, as well as for MVP, top scorer, top defender, top goalie and their two

Richard Cripwell, head of British Defence Staff and Defence Attaché in Washington, D.C., for his efforts in coordinating the Capitol Military Soccer League, an elite athletics organization comprised of the finest athletes in the Military District of Washington. runners up. “The whole point was to have a competitive soccer league while keeping costs down,” Green said. “It appears we are doing that. I help out league players any time I can, including endorsing them for their service-level teams, or in the case of Belvoir’s Ecford, his servicelevel team (All Navy), an entry in Defenders Cup as a guest player for
Meade United (which took 3rd place of a record 41 teams last September), and Team USA for the military world cup this coming January. “But, I could not have put all this together without the help of Richard Pina. While I am good at organizing the league, Pina has been the driving force behind the play of the Belvoir team. He was league MVP of the spring 2016 season. He certainly got the ball rolling and I have
kept pushing. I also have to thank my folks at DLA for playing with me and getting me into the game, and also for winning the intramural championship to even put me in a position to put something like this together.” For more information about the Capitol Military Soccer League, visit https://capitolmilitarysoccer.wor press.com.
Little League registration in progress By Bill Behring President, Fort Belvoir Little League Registration for the 2017 spring Little League season continues through February, provided all team quotas have not been met. It is recommended that players register as soon as possible. Players must have a valid sport physical that does not expire before the end of June; proof of military affiliation; and proof of age verification, for example, a military ID card, birth certificate, etc. The Central Registration Office is now in the Sosa Building, Belvoir Road at 18th Street. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday,
7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration is also available the second Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon. All playing equipment is furnished, with the exception of the player’s fielder’s glove, cleats, socks and protective cup. Tee-ball and machine-pitch players don’t need cleats; conventional, soft-soled shoes are adequate. Catcher’s equipment, batting helmets and bats are furnished. Parents should keep in mind the following when buying equipment: Helmets are generally royal blue, but other colors may exist. They can have no stickers or labels, except those applied by the manufacturer, with one exception. Small, identifying stickers with the player’s name are acceptable. Helmets must also
have a NOCSE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) logo stamped in the plastic. As for bats, parents shouldn’t go overboard with these purchases, because many bats in use this season will no longer be authorized for use in 2018. Presently, the standard, aluminum alloy bat can be no larger than 2 1/4 inches in diameter and 33 inches or less in length; and it must have a BPF, or Bat Performance Factor, marking of 1.15 or less for players 12 and younger. This BPF will be the main change for the 2018 season. Bats for players 13-14 must have a maximum diameter of 2 5/8 inches and be no longer than 34 inches. Buying bats of composite material
is not recommended due to their cost and, more importantly, only certain models are authorized. For detailed information on these bat models, check the Little League website, www.littleleague. org/batlist. A copy of the League’s newsletter, What You Should Know when Signing Up for Baseball, describing the league, is available at the registration office. The schedule for the tryout sessions for players 9 and older will be available the week of Jan. 9. Tee-ball and machine-pitch players do not have tryout sessions and will be placed on teams by the neighborhood in which they live. For any questions on baseball, send an e-mail to coachbill2@ver zon.net.

AFAP’s top issues announced By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir delegates proposed their top Army Family Action Plan issues to leadership last month. During the three-day AFAP forum, delegates and subject-matter experts discussed many issues. What can’t be addressed at the installation level is forwarded to higher leadership. Examples of improvements made because of AFAP include; eliminating TRICARE Prime co-payments; providing temporary lodging expenses authorized for first-time, permanent change of station; and giving retirees access to retail and national mail order pharmacies, according to the Army OneSource’s website. Since AFAP began in 1984, the program has resulted in 126 legislative changes, 177 DoD or Army Policy changes; and 197 program and service improvements. According to Army OneSource, these policy changes include a tax credit for employers who hire Reservecomponent Soldiers on extended active duty; and allowing Soldiers to request tour stabilization, if they
have a child who is graduating high school. The top Belvoir AFAP issues and the resulting recommendations are: Information for patients assigned to Belvoir Hospital Scope: Patients assigned to Fort Belvoir Community Hospital are often unaware there is a New Patient Orientation. There is limited dissemination of information and lack of awareness of the FBCH patient policies and procedures ¬¬– specifically, the appointment process and available services. This results in patient frustration with FBCH and could cause patients to change medical insurance, for example, from Tricare Prime to Tricare For Life, increasing out-of-pocket expenses. Recommendation: Develop a community education and information dissemination program to increase visibility of FBCH Patient Orientation. Accountability of health and welfare work orders in family housing Scope: Residents of Belvoir family housing can have multiple work orders for the same health and welfare issues, like mold that is due to insufficient repairs by the contractor. The
government liaison does not have direct access to contractor work orders, unless specifically requested. Therefore, the government cannot adequately monitor the repairs. Fort Belvoir family housing residents face frustration and possible health issues, due to unresolved work orders. In addition, repair delays can damage housing. Recommendation: Create a monthly work order report for the government liaison, to facilitate the accountability of work orders in family housing.
Time limit for PPP for activeduty spouses Scope: The Priority Placement Program for active-duty spouses ends two years after relocating. Active duty tours are often longer than two years and government jobs are increasingly competitive. The PPP two-year time limit can reduce employment opportunities for qualified spouses and potentially limits the candidate pool for government jobs. Recommendation: Remove the time limit for the program for active-duty spouses.
