COMMENTARY

CG Releases Memorial Day Safety Message This year, Memorial Day will be observed on May 28. This holiday is set aside to remember and honor the service members who gave their lives in the defense of our country. It is with great pride that we pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

As with all holidays, this is a time to

increase our safety awareness and become even more vigilant. I ask all Fort Lee leaders and supervisors to ensure our workforce is ready for the hazards associated with travel, recreational activities and warmer weather.

I would like everyone to apply the principles of composite risk management

when planning events over this long weekend. Please keep in mind that this is particularly important when operating vehicles, motorcycles and other recreational equipment.

I urge every member of this command to think “safety� and remain vigilant in your efforts to counter unsafe behavior

and reduce preventable accidents.

Michelle and I wish each of you a memorable and safe Memorial Day holiday weekend. We look forward to your safe return. – Maj. Gen. James L. Hodge, CASCOM and Fort Lee commanding general

Annual Fire Hydrant Testing Starts May 28 The Fort Lee Fire and Emergency Services Division, in cooperation with the Virginia American Water Co., will begin annual fire hydrant testing on May 28. The testing will continue daily through the first week of June.

National Fire Protection Association Standards require all fire hydrants to be tested every five years.

With approximately 500 hydrants on the installation, Fort Lee firefighters are required to test 100 hydrants each year to ensure they work properly in the event they are needed.

Fire hydrant tests also flush foreign debris from the water lines which can be harmful to fire apparatus pumps.

During the tests, firefighters will remove the caps and operate the hydrant to allow water to flow from each.

While this testing is in progress, residents should be aware of the following information: Â&#x2021; )LUHILJKWHUV ZLOO EH ZRUNLQJ LQ FORVH SUR[LPLW\ WR the roadway. Motorists are urged to slow down for their safety. Â&#x2021; /DUJH DPRXQWV RI ZDWHU PD\ EH UHOHDVHG RQWR WKH roadway.

The new synthetic grass surface at Williams Stadium awaits athletes of all ages.

Let the Games Begin

by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter

Williams Stadium is ready for play, exercise and anything else that comes its way after the worn and torn natural grass surface was replaced by a drainage system with a synthetic grass surface.

The project, which is part of Fort Lee’s continued commitment to the Army Family Covenant and the IMCOMInstallation Management Campaign Plan, cost $748,496 but will reduce the annual maintenance costs and environmental impacts from pesticides, fertilizers and water usage.

The grass field was removed because it had deteriorated from overuse and lack of water, said Kyle Nelson, Sports and Recreation Division chief.

Family and MWR and Fort Lee’s Environmental Management Office worked together to decided what product would be used to replace the field’s surface. They focused on making it environmentally friendly.

Williams Stadium is the first field in the local area to switch to synthetic turf, said Nelson.

“The decision to use a synthetic surface was based on anticipated use, long term maintenance and overhead costs,” he said. “It may reduce the chance of injuries while proving to be a unique venue for sporting and other events for the Fort Lee Community,” he said. “This will allow the stadium to be used regardless of weather conditions for PT and outdoor events.”

All requests for use of Williams Stadium must be made in writing, Nelson said. Request must be made via e-mail or using Fort Lee Form 300-1 and sent to kyle.a.nelson12.civ@mail.mil or edward.m.parker.naf@mail.mil.

Rules specific to the fiber field have been released for potential users. Included in the rules are no vehicles allowed on the turf or the track area, no sharp-pointed objects are to be placed into the turf, no marking are allowed directly on the turf and markings for landmarks must be made with tape. Additionally, sharp pointed footwear, smoking and pets are prohibited on the turf.

Artificial turf first gained substantial attention in the 1960s when it was used in the newly constructed Houston Astrodome. The specific product used was called Astroturf. The term quickly gained popularity when referring to any artificial grass surface.

KAHC Hours Although Friday is a training holiday, Kenner Army Health Clinic will be open with limited services. KAHC will be closed Monday for Memorial Day. Open Friday will be the Family Medicine Clinic, Troop Medical Clinic No. 1, Laboratory, Radiology and Pharmacy. To schedule an appointment, call (1-866) 533-5242.

For acute care needs, call the KAHC Administrative Officer of the Day at (804) 734-9000 for referral or authorization to visit an urgent care center.

ALU Speaker Keith Ferguson will speak on paradigms, organizational culture, critical thinking, change and ALM 2015 on May 30 at noon at the Army Logistics University. The lunch and learn event is sponsored by the Staff and Faculty Development Office.

Ferguson teaches and develops training at the Soldier Support Institute at Fort Jackson, S.C. He has more than 25 years of experience in that field.

For room location and other details, contact David Barton at david.a.barton30.civ@mail.mil.

Pay Office Hours On June 4, the Defense Military Pay Office will change the Finance InProcessing Briefings for permanent party Soldiers to Mondays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. It will be in Room 124 at the Soldier Support Center.

One deďŹ ning moment: Âł2QH WKLQJ WKDW GHÂżQHG P\ OLIH and really changed my outlook was the fear of death and basically how irrelevant it is, especially watching Soldiers who should be dead survive. You just kind of realize that if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your time to go, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your time to go, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to be afraid of it.â&#x20AC;?

Why you joined the Army: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was homeless, tired of being a bum and living with my girlfriend.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be with her any longer, but I had no options. I wanted to one day start a family but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good base (from which to start).â&#x20AC;?

Talk about your deployment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in Baghdad, Iraq, from October 2006 to January 2008. We were tasked out to babysit these potholes that ZH ÂżOOHG ZLWK FRQFUHWH WR GU\ overnight to make sure no one planted IEDs in them. There was a culvert that ran under the road, and somehow, everyone had missed it. There were a bunch of 155mm rounds underneath there. The next morning when the sun came up, the platoon sergeant and two other Soldiers jumped out of a vehicle to inspect the potholes. As they stepped down, the ground blew up, and I watched my platoon sergeant clear the power lines and disappear into a cloud of dirt. There was D KXJH FUDWHU , ÂżJXUHG KH DQG

the other two were dead. As the smoke started to clear, I saw him crawl out of the hole, grab onto the side of a Humvee, pull himself up, light up a cigarette and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hoo.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I want to say I was wrong, but he had a scratch on his leg and an concussion. Same with the other two â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they had concussions and no scratches. To my point, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your time to go, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your time to go.

Prepare for Hurricanes With Tax Holiday National Hurricane Preparedness Week, May 27 - June 2, highlights the importance of planning ahead to protect our families and secure our communities and homes in advance of the upcoming hurricane season (June through November).

Although the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season is projected to be less active than in recent years, the effects of these storms can be devastating and have long-lasting consequences. While seasonal forecasts are situational awareness tools, it is critical to remember that weather can, and often does, act unpredictably. Therefore, area residents should not let their guard down as they prepare for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurricane season.

Hurricanes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to make landfall or move directly across populated areas to cause great damage. They are powerful storms that can cause severe flooding, dangerous storm surges, high winds and tor-

nadoes. Last year, Hurricane Irene was a category 1 storm when its eye moved north off of the coast of Virginia. The immediate

impact of Irene on the people of Virginia included five deaths, power interruption for more than 2.5 million people (the second largest power outage in Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history) and 80 public shelters servicing in excess of 5,000 people. Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial impact is estimated at $87 million in damage to private property, $130 million in damage to agriculture and a $52 million loss for local governments (including public property).

Awareness of the threat is not enough.

Residents must translate this knowledge into action and work together to develop prepared and resilient communities. Sound disaster management is community-oriented in that it includes all levels of government, the private sector, volunteers, community- and faithbased organizations, and the public. A whole community effort is needed to effectively prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover

from and mitigate against any disaster.

During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, individuals, families and organizations are urged to make emergency plans, create emergency supply kits and stay informed.

More information on hurricane hazards and details on how to secure buildings and belongings are available at www.nhc.noaa.gov/ prepare and www.ready.gov/hurricanes.

Additionally, you can save money and get ready for the hurricane season during the commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday, May 2531.

Quartermasters Conduct Fueling Operations Refueling operations are one of the most critical aspects in the U.S. Army logistics arena as quartermasters strive to keep aircraft in the fight with little interruption.

On May 7-11, the 108th QM Company, 530th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 49th QM Group, deployed a platoon of petroleum specialists to conduct forward arming refueling point operations at Fort Pickett. The sustainment training exercise included a full spectrum of petroleum operations.

Spearheaded by 1st Lt. Melanie Wells, technician Warrant Officer 1 Vaughn Mosley, and noncommissioned officer in charge Staff Sgt. Jimal Adams, the group designed a modified active FARP at Blackstone Army Airfield. Sergeants Joey Scott, Nicholas Langfield and Nathaniel Herring set up and operated the tactical temporary facility – organized and equipped to provide rapid refuel to aircraft in training and combat zones.

Over the five-day period, the 108th QM FARP Team provided more than 9,800 gallons of JP-8 fuel to Army, Navy, and Marine Corps aircraft.

“All the FARP training the Soldiers receive is critical as they play a key role in the success of the aviation mission,” said Wells, FARP Team platoon leader. “It is important that we have good communication between the pilot, crew chief, line safety officer, and pump operator to safely issue fuel and return aircraft to their specified mission.”

“This entire week, we prided ourselves on providing quality and expeditious service to all the aircraft, from the Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey to the Navy MH-60S Seahawk,” echoed Adams.

“It’s showtime,” said several Soldiers as they saw the Navy MH-60S Seahawk approach the FARP. Scott, the pad chief, used hand and arm signals to figure out what the aircraft needed. The pilot gestured back, indicating he needed a drink; this told Scott that the pilot needed fuel. Scott continued to use manual signals to guide the MH-60S into the pit where it received fuel from the petroleum supply specialists.

“When the aircraft arrives, I ground it and communicate with the pilot to find out what he needs,” stated Scott. “I also ensure the safety of the Soldiers working near the aircraft.”

“We all work together as a team,” said Mosley, who provided the technical expertise on operations of the FARP. “Teamwork is the key to success – we trained and cross-trained the Soldiers to make sure the mission remains strong and effective.”

As the aircraft received its fuel, and the hose is disconnected and placed in its proper place, all the Soldiers move away from the aircraft, allowing the pilot to see them. This gives Scott the ability to let the pilot know the aircraft is ungrounded and clear to take off.

“Hand signals are important in the refuel process, as we use them from the time the bird lands to the time the pilot is ready to take off.”

Once the aircraft leaves the FARP, all the Soldiers regroup at the holding area and get an active action review from Scott before the next aircraft arrives. “We strive to safely provide the aircraft with quality fuel in the shortest time possible,” said Wells.

Ordnance Corps Dedicates Parade Field

Ordnance Corps Marks 200-year Legacy

by Sharon Mulligan CASCOM Public Affairs Office

As part of the 200th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps, the north recovery range training complex was dedicated May 16, in honor of Lt. Col. Harry M. “Bulldog” Downer, who gave more than 40 years of service to the nation.

“I cannot think of a better way to officially kick off the 200th year of our great corps than by dedicating this field to this great man,” said Col. Greg A. Mason, U.S. Army Ordnance School commandant. “He was a great warrior, logistician and trainer who led from the front.”

Mason explained to the military and community members gathered how this hall of fame member helped define and shape what it means to be an Ordnance Corps Soldier.

During World War II and the Korean War, without regard for his own welfare, he traveled on unsecured supply routes

to get first-hand knowledge of the units he supported, he said.

“Due to overwhelming enemy attacks, battalions were being overrun during this period. His efforts and situational awareness significantly reduced the time required to rebuild the combat power in these units,” Mason explained.

Across their core competencies of maintenance, ammunition and explosive ordnance disposal, the Ordnance Corps is composed of an Active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve force of more than 105,000 Soldiers; that is more than one-third of the sustainment force and 11 percent of the total Army force. The Ordnance School, which is part of the Combined Arms Support Command, instructs almost 30,000 students a year in 288 courses, which support training for 34 enlisted military occupational specialties, nine warrant officer and two officer areas of concentration.

“Downer epitomized the best of the Ordnance Corps. He conducted research

and prepared programs of instruction, lesson plans and manuscripts. He also taught,” Mason said. “He developed ordnance doctrine and worked personnel actions for 58 military occupational specialties.

“He is the Ordnance Corps,” Mason said. “And, the Soldiers that we train on this range will be leading from the front just as he did. The skills they develop here, by executing tough recovery operations, are being used in places like Afghanistan daily.”

The dedication ceremony was followed by a recovery capabilities demonstration that included the Multi-Mission Recovery System, a prototype system nicknamed “The Beast;” the Interim Stryker Recovery System Generation II; and the M88 Recovery Vehicle. These systems were used to demonstrate techniques for recovering (towing, winching or hoisting) damaged or incapacitated vehicles, which are critical skills Soldiers develop through training courses taught at the facility.

A Medal of Honor recipient was honored May 17 as part of the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps’ 200th anniversary celebration.

A large crowd turned out to view the U.S. Army Ordnance School’s parade field dedication ceremony here in honor of Maj. Hulon B. Whittington, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions that occurred on July 29, 1944, while attached to the 41st Armored Infantry, 2nd Armored Division, near Grimesnil, France.

This field will serve as a lasting tribute to this ordnance officer, said Col. Greg A. Mason, U.S. Army Ordnance School commandant.

“Every Soldier who stands on this field will be reminded of his example of selfless service and dedication to duty.”

“I never had the honnor to meet him, but I wish I had d,” he said.

“That way, I could have said I met a man who embodied all of the Army values…. If he were here, I would say thank you for your service, deeds and the example you have set.

“What should we take away? I suggest we all should take away his example of values,” Atwater said as he spoke about how Whittington’s values helped him make decisions

and defined who he was as a person and Soldier.

Atwater went on to explain the criteria for being awarded the Medal of Honor and how Whittington’s actions were great examples of the high standards required for that award. He said that the ordnance Soldier was more than the embodiment of the Army’s core values; he was a hero.

Armed Forces Day Run a Success

by Maj. Junel Jeffrey Contributing Writer

On your mark, get set, go! Runners, joggers, walkers and even baby strollers crossed the “Run the Crater” start point early Saturday morning in commemoration of Armed Forces Day. The race was sponsored by Fort Lee’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation office.

More than 300 people registered to take part in a 1-mile fun run or test their speed in either the 5-mile or 8-mile road races. The competition was staunch and the route was challenging, but nothing could shake the shear enthusiasm of the crowd as they literally put their best foot forward to celebrate the men and women of the U.S. military.

While each participant had a different reason for registering and putting their running shoes and skills to the test, the sunny skies and great weather put a smile on every face once they finally crossed the finish line at the newly refurbished Williams Stadium track.

When Romeo Company, 262nd Quartermaster Battalion advanced individual training Soldiers decided to participate in the race as a way to kick start their weekend, two of their platoon sergeants supported the teambuilding event by racing alongside their students.

“It makes me proud to see Soldiers so motivated,” said Staff Sgt. Malcolm Holliday, a Miami native and AIT platoon sergeant with the 262nd QM Bn. “As an NCO, at this point in my career it’s motivating to see Soldiers who want to go out to exert themselves in a physical exercise like this.”

Holliday, whose Army career spans 18 years, his co-platoon sergeant Staff Sgt. Ramon Bayer and 13 of their students competed in the race to foster camaraderie in their soon-to-graduate AIT class.

“Their attitudes are contagious,” said Bayer, who has 12 years of service and hails from San Diego. “It’s good to see them dig deep. It’s good to see them give a little bit more than they think they can.”

“This was something to do as a company,” said AIT student Spc. Preston Hajny of Greenbay, Wis. “Some of us are graduating, so we decided to give it a shot together.

Mostly, we relax on the weekend, so we said why not begin with something motivating.”

Captains’ Career Course Undergoing Change

by T. Anthony Bell Senior Writer/Special Projects

The Army is currently in the process of redesigning part of a component of the Officer Education System to better meet the requirements of an expeditionary force.

That component, the Captains’ Career Course, is currently the subject of a pilot program that the Army hopes will produce leaders who are more adaptive and are critical and creative thinkers.

Each of the Army’s branch schoolhouses were charged with conducting the pilot under the Army Learning Concepts 2015, a new technology-based learning model. One Combined Logistics CCC class at the Army Logistics University was assigned the pilot’s course of study. It concludes May 31.

The changes affect the seven-week common core portion of the roughly sixmonth course. Capt. Jennifer Ernest, a CLC3 small group leader instructor, said the pilot extends the course by one week and concludes with a staff exercise.

More importantly, it features a departure from the training approach that emphasizes repetition to one that develops how leaders think rather than what they think.

“The blocks of instruction, the way they are presented is the biggest change,” said Ernest. “The old captains’ course curriculum was designed to get students to a knowledge and comprehension/cognitive level of learning. The new curriculum takes them to something called analysis synthesis, which means that we’re asking officers not just to regurgitate concepts but to take those concepts and now apply them

over operational vignettes or scenarios that are directly relatable to our operating environment.”

Student response to the new curriculum has been varied, said Ernest. Sixteen students were randomly selected to participate in the pilot that she described as “more rigorous than it used to be.”

“There is a lot being asked of them,” she said, noting the instruction is going in a positive direction.

“The demands for reading as well as understanding self-development – it is a lot higher in the new curriculum. So, there are some challenges for these new students.”

Capt. Jason Jones, a student whose follow-up PHOTO BY T.

A portion of the course is currently unRegiment in Germany, dergoing a redesign to reflect new learning concepts. said he is encouraged Leavenworth, Kan., is charged with writ- pilot programs will yield to implementaabout the course material but much has to be done to find the right ing doctrine for the course. It will analyze tion some time in fiscal 2013, however, the data from student feedback and tweak “The overall Army concept is to go to full balance. implementation in 2015.”

“The pilot program – if I could sum the course to standard, said Ernest.

“They will take the feedback from the The Captains’ Career Course is seit up – it’s pretty intense,” he said. “We move at a faster pace with a flood of in- pilots and use it to further refine the cur- quentially the second level of training in riculum – to tailor the assignments as well the OES, between the basic officer leader formation.”

The School of Advanced Leadership as the blocks of instruction to meet the course and the intermediate level course, formerly the Command General and Staff and Tactics, a branch of the U.S. needs of the student,” she said.

Ernest said that she expects the ALU Course for majors.

RUN — FROM PAGE 17 friends and Defense Commissary Agency co-workers Sheila Walton and Wanda Wallace chose to band together in their efforts to race and ended up thoroughly enjoying themselves.

“We started together and raced together,” said Wallace, a Prince George County resident, of her long-time racing partnership with Walton. “I enjoyed it. The older I get the more I know (racing) is healthful and helps me keep active.”

“I feel great. You always feel great when you’re done,” said Walton, who earned first place in “Run the Crater’s” 55- to 59-year-old women’s category. “I’m trying to do

healthier things in my life.”

Walton, who said she likes racing because it’s fun meeting people, happened to meet the Walton family – of no relation – who came all the way from Powhatan to take part in the race.

“This is our first year running at Fort Lee,” said Diane Walton, who placed first in the women’s 60 and over group. “It’s great. We love it.”

Diane and her husband Tom started running races together about six years ago. Now that they are both retired and have the time, they run about 12 races every year.

“Run the Crater” is the 68th race they have done together.

“I retired eight years ago, and I haven’t sat down yet,” Tom Walton said. “Now that I’m drawing retirement, I want to be as healthy as possible and live as long as possible. It’s a blessing.”

Larry Toler, deputy to the Quartermaster Corps commanding general and president of the Tri-Cities Road Runners, a local group that “promotes and encourages running and overall fitness” and helped organize the Fort Lee race, said this year’s “Run the Crater” was probably the best yet.

“This is a centerpiece for the community, and I’m absolutely elated,” said Toler. “I feel proud of Fort Lee, the people who put this together, and proud of the people who were able to complete the distances.”

Race results are available on the Tri-Cities Road Runners website at www.tricitiesroadrunners.org/ page/2012-race-results.
