Officials open Staybridge Suites on Belvoir

Holiday gate hours

By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Staybridge Suites held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony last week, officially opening its doors to guests needing lodging accommodations on and around Fort Belvoir. “We’re always delighted to stay at some of the new lodges and hear Soldiers comment about how great the lodging is and how accommodating it is to them and their families,” said Katherine Hammack, assistant Secretary of the Army for Installation, Energy and Environment. “That’s what makes this very interesting as a Staybridge Suites.” The hotel includes several lodging options, including one or two bedrooms; studios; and 20 accessible rooms for those who need additional accommodation for their accessibility needs. There is also a zero-entry swimming pool; wider hallways; a lounge area; and meeting rooms. A playground will be added in the spring. It is the first Staybridge on a U.S. Military installation. “This is just another example of how we’re making every day better here at Fort Belvoir,” said Col. Angie Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander. “We’re happy to be able to provide top-quality lodging and accommodations to our Service members and families, and our civilian government workforce, as well as the guests who travel here to Fort Belvoir.” Many of the new hotel’s features are unique because of the proximity of Staybridge to Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Hammack said. It provides broader accommodation for wounded warriors, beyond the Americans with Disabilities Act. “When Lendlease took on the task of delivering a world-class lodging facility for our nation’s premiere military installation, we challenged ourselves to go above and beyond the norm,” said Phillip Carpenter, chief operating officer, Communities Lendlease. Over the next six years, 14 new hotels will be created, Carpenter said. “This is an example of the benefit of the privatization initiative and the revitalization of the on-post lodging for the military men and women of the United States of America,” said Chuck Sourbeer, head of operations, IHG Army Hotels. “Our mission is to revitalize that. We’ve had the honor to take care of over 20 million Soldiers and their families since the conception of this project.”

Passionate spirit of cadets spurs Army’s first win in 14 years By Sean Kimmons Army.mil Wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt in the frigid cold, with his face painted black and gold, the energetic Cadet joined other West Point classmates in taunting their rival Midshipmen, Saturday before the Army-Navy game. “We beat Temple! We beat Temple!” they belted, referring to the Army’s first win of the season to the Temple Owls, a team that managed to beat Navy in the American Athletic Conference championship game a week before. The Midshipmen awaited their turn and quickly responded with a chant of their own: “14 years! 14 years!” -- the last time Army won against Navy on the gridiron. “This is an unforgettable experience,” Alek Kauffman, the Cadet leading the Army chant, said about the annual game. “It’s my favorite day of the whole year.” A few hours later, the day got a whole lot better for the Cadets, as the Army sneaked by with a 21-17 victory over their archrival. “It still doesn’t even feel like it’s real,” said Edgar Poe, a senior wide receiver with the Black Knights, after the game. “People were always talking about the (losing) streak. We’re starting our own streak now.” Swarms of cadets emptied the bleachers and rushed onto the field after the final seconds ticked away. Army players, like senior quarterback, Ahmad Bradshaw, were caught in the mayhem. “I honestly just went blank (when) I saw a bunch of cadets running at me,” he said. “It was an amazing feeling. “We haven’t won in 14 years, so they were waiting for that to happen,” he added. “They took my helmet,” Poe chimed in, smiling. “I have no idea where it is.” Throughout the game, tradition mixed in with friendly banter and pure excitement as both teams met for the 117th time. Known as “America’s game,” the annual event did not let down on the pageantry of marching Cadets and

A fan of the U.S. Military Academy is lifted in the air by the Cadets before the start of the Army-Navy game, Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Midshipmen who fervidly cheered on their teams, along with a sellout crowd of loyal fans. “It’s one of the greatest rivalries of sports history,” said Gen. Mark A. Milley, Army Chief of Staff, before the game. “But, at the end of the day, no matter who wins or loses these young Cadets and Midshipmen will all get commissioned as officers in the United States Military, and, shoulder-to-shoulder, they will fight and destroy the enemies of the United States of America when the time comes.” This year, the Army football team donned special uniforms honoring the 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers of World War II. Jerseys had the 82nd patch on them, while helmets had symbols of individual units in the division and a lattice design similar to the net covering of the helmets worn by the paratroopers during the war. Three days after the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks, which catapulted the nation into the war, Milley said it was an appropriate time to honor the 82nd, the Army’s only paratrooper division. “We wanted to single out the 82nd as a tribute to Soldiers from

World War II who formed the greatest generation,” Milley said, adding that each and every Army division is special. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth “Rock” Merritt, who jumped into enemy territory with the 82nd during the D-Day invasion, represented the division at the game. Walking around gloveless in temperatures in the mid-30s, he shrugged when he was given a pair of gloves to wear. “This weather is not near as cold as it was in the Battle of the Bulge. I almost froze to death,” he later said, referring to the major World War II battle fought during the winter in Belgium. “Today’s weather is nothing compared to that.” Being at his first Army-Navy game, the tough 93-year-old sergeant major didn’t shy away from his love for the 82nd, but he also commended today’s military as a whole. “For 70-something odd years, I’ve known the 82nd Airborne Division. I think it’s the best division in the world,” Merritt said. “Of course, in all of our armed forces today, we have the best-trained and educated officers and non-commissioned officers that our (military) has ever produced.”

Minutes before the game, the next generation of Army officers marched onto the field in company formations as loud cheers from Army fans roared throughout M&T Bank Stadium, home to the Baltimore Ravens. Seven Cadets then marched out to the center of the field to meet seven Midshipmen for a “prisoner exchange,” a tradition where members of both academies who have studied in a semester-long exchange program return to their brethren. When dismissed, the seven Cadets ran off the field and jumped into the stands, inciting thunderous applause from their fellow Cadets. “It’s a great feeling to be back home with my school,” said Cadet Jadalaine Ferrer, one of the exchange students. “All semester, we’ve been talking about how it’s nice to take break, but toward the end, all seven of us were really excited to be back.” Even if the game’s score was what the Cadets wanted, Ferrer and others agreed the spirit of the yearly matchup is always special. “Regardless of the outcome, we’re one team in the end,” Ferrer said before the game. “As soon as this game is over, we go right back to being brother and sister.”

Belvoir NEC passes readiness inspection By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer The Fort Belvoir Network Enterprise Center recently passed its Command Cyber Readiness Inspection, an event mandated by the U.S. Cyber Command to protect against cyber threats. The next inspection will be a nonotice CCRI inspection. “It takes the support of, not only the Network Enterprise Center, but of every customer who utilizes the network,” said Dennis Joyner, regional director, U.S. Army Signal Regional Network Enterprise Center, National Capital Region and Fort Belvoir. A few years ago, Network Enterprise Centers were regionalized, Joyner said. Fort Belvoir NEC is now a regional NEC that provides support to forts Myer, McNair and A.P. Hill in Virginia; and Fort Meade, Md. As a result, all of these installations underwent a CCRI, as well. The regional inspection was called the most complex inspection done by the U.S. Army 7th Signal Command, and the first regional inspection, Joyner said. Each U.S. military installation has circuits provided by the Defense Information Systems Agency, he said. Those circuits provide network access to devices. “The CCRI is designed to ensure that any equipment attached to that

circuit is compliant from a cyber perspective -- that it is not vulnerable to be hacked by an adversary,” Joyner said. Any information technology device, like computer, printer, or server that is connected to the network and receives an IP address from the circuit, is subject to inspection. During the inspection, a scan is run to determine whether there are non-compliant devices on the circuit, such as computers without the latest patches, on the network. If enough non-compliant devices are found, the circuit is shut down until everything is compliant. All organizations are required to make sure everything connected to the network is patched properly and doesn’t present vulnerabilities to the network. “If a hacker were able to get into a vulnerable machine here at Fort Belvoir, they could potentially take down services in other places across the United States and in OCONUS,” Joyner said. To remain compliant at all times, Joyner said he and his team met with organization and unit leaders and performed inspections on the equipment, identifying which were non-compliant. People can also help retain compliancy through simple tasks, like not leaving CAC cards in computers unattended. If this is found during an inspection, it’s considered a Category

Exchange public affairs

1 violation, he said. Do not turn your computers off when you leave the office for the day, Joyner said. Doing so prevents that computer from getting the latest patches, making it non-compliant. And, leaders of organizations should ensure they have a tenant security plan, he said. “We had great cooperation from the customers,” he said, about preparing for the CCRI. “The goal is that we will always be inspectionready and, more importantly, being inspection-ready means that our vital network is always at a state of compliance, where we do not have to worry about being infiltrated by a hacker.”

Demolition crews continue work on Dewitt Army Hospital along Belvoir Road Dec. 7. The hospital, which opened in 1957, was vacated in 2011 when it was replaced by Fort Belvoir Community Hospital.

DeWitt Army Hospital in final demolition stage Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Public Affairs DeWitt Army Hospital was dedicated June 26, 1957, at the then-home of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers known as Fort Belvoir. That new facility was named in honor of Brig. Gen. Wallace DeWitt, Army Medical Corps, a World War I and II surgeon. From its inception, DeWitt supported veterans and their families from the Korean and Vietnam wars, Desert Storm and the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. Although it was designed to administer care to 50,000 patients, it served more than 156,000 active-duty and retired military personnel and their loved ones living in Northern Virginia, and oversaw the birth of nearly 65,000 babies. In 2011, as an element of the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, DeWitt was replaced by Fort Belvoir Community Hospital.

Barracudas down BRYC 47-41 in county hoops By Rick Musselman Sports Editor The Belvoir Barracudas 7th grade boys’ division squad maintained the perfect balance of precision execution on offense and a total-commitment approach at the opposite end of the hardwood to defeat Braddock Road Youth Club 47-41 in a Fairfax County Youth Basketball League showdown, Saturday at Specker Field House. From the opening tip, the Barracuda offense got down to business showcasing a state-of-the-art passing game that kept BRYC defenders on their toes with every drive down the court. FCYBL veteran guards, Shamar Cisco and Roland Matthews, kept the ball in constant motion around the perimeter, exploiting any and all vacancies in their opponents’ 3-2 zone to connect with forwards, R.J. McCree and Nicholas Anderson, along the baseline for some early buckets. Center-forward, Jeremy Barr, added constant support to Belvoir’s opening efforts with a string of dedicated rebounds and follow-up scores amid swarms of BRYC personnel in the paint. On defense, Cisco and Matthews applied a ferocious brand of man coverage that kept the visitors scrambling for open lanes inside. The vehemence of McCree and Barr inside resulted in a series of turnovers that kept the Barracudas in the driver’s seat for the opening period and ultimately sent BRYC to the bench at the halftime horn trailing 20-13. Second –period action got underway with Belvoir guards, Timothy Turner and Calvin Cockerham, joining forces with Cisco to continue the rapid-fire offensive onslaught. But, BRYC had made some adjustments to the defensive approach and presented the Barracudas with a fullcourt press that began to shift the advantage. Showing a greater commitment to patience and precision pick-setting, BRYC ball handlers began hitting from the three-point arc while keeping the lane in total lockdown at the other end of the floor. By the three-minute mark, the visiting team had nabbed three consecutive midcourt steals, sunk a series of clean three-pointers and narrowed the scoreboard gap to 46-41. But, Cisco and company took a quick restructuring timeout and returned with some fresh plays. Matthews, Turner and Cisco got the proceedings back under control with no-let-up man defense, while Ander-

Last weekend, I went over to my parents’ house to clear the leaves and, the whole time I was there, I was fixated on the woods beyond their property line, remembering all the adventures my friends and I had in those weed-choked badlands. As such, I soon found the leaf-blowing work didn’t seem like such a hardship after all. In fact, I was amazed that those woods were still there in this modern industrial wonderland of mass tree sawing, bulldozing and tract-home construction. Back in those days, Northern Virginia was almost rural—indeed, I remember when Potomac Mills Mall was nothing but a great expanse of pine trees and honeysuckle—and the absence of massive housing complexes and shopping centers meant endless square miles of rugged terrain for pre-technology era kids to explore. Even better, it was a dirtbike friendly time—long before noise ordinances, homeowner’s associations and overzealous police appeared to put a stop to this bothersome behavior among our reckless, irresponsible youth. As such, most weekends began at dawn, topping off the tanks before heading into the woods for hours of speed, freedom and discovery. Of course, there were days when we either didn’t have enough paper-route money for gas or one of us had a flat tire, so we’d strike out on foot. We’d make little lean-to shelters out of dead limbs and eat sandwiches underneath it, dam up the stream with rocks and wade around looking for crayfish; we even got it into our heads once to dig a gold mine—of course, once we hit the water table, that idea went south quick. And, of course, we’d sometimes stumble across a Playboy magazine that someone had thrown into the weeds. It was invariably soaking wet and crawling with little white bugs, but we’d still spend an hour trying to separate the mushy pages for something good. The only things we ever saw clearly were ads for hi-fi home stereos and Pall Mall cigarettes. Still, the fact that I could stand at the edge of those woods and see the places we hung out in 40 years ago, just about made my week.

game and we also want to form our teams in a fair way,” said Jerry Arrington CYSS sports and fitness director. “We don’t want to stack teams where all the best players in the league are on one or two teams; it’s not fun on Saturdays for teams that might not be as good as others to play against the best squads there are. Learning and fun is what this is all about.” The players spent the threehour evaluation session engaging in ball-handling, passing, shooting and defensive drills and wrapped up the clinic by applying those skills in scrimmage match ups. House league games are played on Saturdays at Specker Field House through April. For more information and game schedules email Coach Alton Greene at alton.greene@bet. net or alton.greene@yahoo.com.

Little League registration in progress By Bill Behring President, Fort Belvoir Little League Registration for the 2017 spring Little League season began last week and continues through February, provided all team quotas have not been met sooner. 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 (military ID card, birth certificate, etc.) The Central Registration Office is now located in the Sosa building on Belvoir Road at 18th Street. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration is also available on the second Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon. All of the playing equipment is furnished with the exception of the player’s fielder’s glove, cleats, socks and protective cup. Tee-ball and machinepitch players are not required to have cleats; conventional soft soled shoes are adequate. The catcher’s equipment, batting helmets and bats are

furnished. However, in recent years most players have thought they should have their own bats and helmets. Parents should keep in mind the following when purchasing these items: Helmets are generally royal blue but other colors may exist. They are to have no stickers or labels except those which have been applied by the manufacturer. Small identifying stickers with the player’s name are acceptable. Helmets must also have a NOCSE logo stamped in the plastic. As for bats I recommend not going overboard with these purchases because many bats that are 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 marking of 1.15 or less for players 12 and under. This “bat performance factor,” as it is presently known, will be the main change affected 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. Purchasing bats that are of composite material is not recommended, first, due to their

cost and, more importantly, there are only certain models that are authorized. For detailed information on these models of bats check the Little League website at 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. For any questions on baseball, email me at coachbill2@verizon.net.

Army Acquisition official visits PEO Soldier By Debra A. Dawson Program Executive Office Soldier The acting principal deputy assistant Secretary of the Army, (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) visited Program Executive Office Soldier Nov. 29, and learned how the Belvoir organization is improving integration, reducing Soldier load, and increasing Soldier protection and capability. “This has been a great opportunity to see the breadth of the Soldier portfolio,” said Christopher J. Lowman, the acting principal deputy ASA(ALT). “I was extraordinarily impressed with the levels of integration.” During his visit, Lowman visited the Warrior Integration Site. Maj. Sheila L. Howell, WinSite assistant product manager, explained how the WinSite allows PEO Soldier to have a more focused and deliberate approach to studying lightening Soldier Load and Systems Integration. WinSite gives the ability to examine how Soldier equipment fit; interact with their movements; and affect energy usage. She added how project managers use WinSite to see how their products integrate with what Soldiers already use and carry. Lightening Soldier Load examples also caught Lowman’s interest. Maj. Ronald D. Schow, APM for Soldier Power at Project Manager

From left are: Brig. Gen. Brian P. Cummings, Program Executive Officer Soldier; Col. Wayne E. Barker, PM SWAR; Kathleen W. Gerstein, Director of Systems Integration; and Maj. Sheila L. Howell, Assistant Product Manager, WinSite. Soldier Warrior, explained how the Conformal Battery and Power Distribution Hubs lessen the number of batteries Soldiers need to carry. Additionally, PM SWAR is studying how knee harvester and kinetic rucksacks can generate power as dismounted Soldiers walk. Capt. Paul Janker, APM for Soft Armor, explained the Soldier Pro-

tection System. He said its scalability lightens Soldier load. Instead of wearing the large and bulky Improved Outer Tactical Vest and its plates, commanders can scale the SPS protection level to mission requirements, the captain said. The lesser the threat Soldiers face, the less they need to wear. The mission scalability of the SPS

piqued Lowman’s attention. “That’s pretty impressive,” he said. The SPS also has a Load Distribution System that puts the weight on Soldiers’ hips and not on the shoulders, Janker added. This will reduce the fatigue Soldiers experience from overburdened shoulders. Concerning Soldier Protection, Maj. Nicole M. Clark, APM for Soldier Protective Equipment, talked with Lowman about hard armor plates. She showed him examples of body armor plates that have stopped enemy rounds and saved Soldiers’ lives. The Army returns helmets and plates that saved a Soldier’s life to PEO Soldier for forensic analysis to examine how well the equipment worked. In 250 impact evaluations, there has never been a complete penetration, according to Clark. Because the plate worked, none of these Soldiers were seriously injured, and they returned to duty. Hoffman told Lowman about the PPE Return Program PEO Soldier operates. It returns life-saving body armor and helmets to Soldiers. A typical ceremony takes place before a Soldier’s unit and family where they see first-hand how well the equipment works.

Belvoir Fire Department helps county with local fire By Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services Division, Office of the Fire Marshal On Saturday, shortly after 6 p.m., Fort Belvoir Fire & Emergency Services were dispatched to a reported fire in a garden apartment building in the 8400 block of Richmond Highway, in the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County. First arriving units from Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department encountered a 3-story garden apartment building with fire through the roof. A second alarm was immediately requested, based on the conditions on arrival. Firefighters quickly determined there was a well-advanced fire in the building’s attic. The building’s occupants were alerted to the fire by an occupant. Smoke alarms were present; but did not activate, due to the fire’s location. The building had 12 apartments. Fairfax Fire & Rescue reported about 67 occupants were displaced by the fire, and they received help from The Red Cross and the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management. No firefighter injuries were reported. One civilian was transported to an area hospital for a checkup. Fairfax County fire investigators determined the fire originated in the building’s attic space. The fire is classified as accidental in nature, with the cause due to a mechanical failure of a natural gas furnace flue. Radiant heat escaping through a damaged section of the flue ignited ordinary combustibles in the attic space. Belvoir firefighters were a part of a team of 60 who responded to the scene. Fairfax County estimates damages at about $227,000. The Belvoir Fire & Emergency Services Division is a proud, automatic-aide partner within fire and rescue departments in Northern Virginia. The regional coalition consists of 14 member departments,
