NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

HURREX to begin next week

HURREX/Citadel Gale 2012 is slated to get underway next week, running from April 16 to 27

The annual exercise is a part of the Navy's testing and training regimen, with these exercises being focused on preparation for the major threat that extreme weather can pose to the effectiveness and operational readiness of the military. Hurricanes are at the forefront of concern in destructive weather as their overwhelming power has provided numerous examples over the last several years to the challenges Mother Nature can present. "From past experience, we know the damage that [natural disasters] can cause," said Timothy Stoessel with Training and Readiness (N7). "All you have to do is look at the flood of the Naval Academy [during Hurricane Isabel in 2003] to realize the kind

of damage 'All-Hazards' can inflict". Over the last two centuries, tropical cyclones have claimed the lives of approximately 1.9 million people. The United States have had its own costly reminders of the strength of hurricanes, notably in 2005 with the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina, which killed nearly two-thousand and caused 108 billion dollars worth of damage, the costliest in American history. HURREX/Citadel Gale takes place to ensure that the Navy, as a vital partner in the community, is prepared to not only lessen any possible detriment to operational readiness, but also to provide assistance to the civil authorities in affected areas to "save lives, prevent human suffering, or mitigate extensive property damage." This responsibility that Sailors have requires they be extensively trained in preparation. HURREX/Citadel Gale is conducted with U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Brittany E.

Bridge, sewer construction traffic info SAAM: Affects all Naval Support Activity Washington's (NSAW) Community Planning Liaison Officer (CPLO) and Public Works Department have kept in close contact with the managers of the 11th St. Bridge Project and the DC Water Clean Rivers Project Combined Sewer Overflow Control Program, clearly communicating both the needs of the Yard's commuters and NSAW's operational requirements. These efforts have minimized impacts to the installation by consolidating individual construction evolutions. However, there will still be inconveniences for our commuters. There will be further impacts to vehicular and pedestrian traffic as the construction projects progress throughout the summer. We will continue to actively engage the project managers and pass information to help your employees plan their commutes. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation in helping us manage this issue.

By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline writer

* From now until April 20, the O St. Gate will be open to inbound vehicle traffic only. No impact to pedestrian traffic. * Until April 13, PEPCO will conduct work in support of the sewer project that will create lane closures on M St. both east and west of the 9th St. Gate.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) progresses with the month of April, and a new theme: Sexual Assault Affects All. The month of April is being utilized not only by the Navy, but also by presidential proclamation for the whole country, to take time to recognize the devastating impact that sexual assault can have. The Navy is not immune from the plight that is prevalent in the United States' armed forces with a crime of sexual assault or rape occurring roughly three times a day. SAAM in the Navy looks to break down the barriers around talking about an admittedly uncomfortable topic by discussing the issue around four themes: Hurts One, Affects All, Prevention is Everyone's Duty, and We Will Not Tolerate Sexual Assault. Sailors will attend educational standdowns throughout the month, and a multitude of events will be taking place throughout Naval DistrictWashington (NDW). This week, the program is focused on the theme of "Affects All", emphasizing the fact that while a single victim is hurt by the act, all Sailors suffer for it. As "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link", so does sexual assault threaten the Navy by undermining the efficiency and readiness of Sailors it victimizes. Therefore, it affects the entire

NSWC Carderock Supports DC FIRST Robotic Competition By Nicholas Malay, NSWCCD Public Affairs WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Naval SurfaceWarfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) scientists and engineers participated in the second annual DC FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC) at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on March 30. "First Robotics Competition (FRC) is the kind of event where young people get their hands dirty, build a project, and see it through to completion,” said Chief of Naval Research, USN RADM Matthew Klunder. “This kind of outreach can help the Navy and Marine Corps design a new submarine, build a new aircraft, develop a new amphibious vehicle, or even explore software engineering. I'm all about momentum - this is about the reality of tapping youth's creativity to help advance the Navy and our Nation." FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Un-

der strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. “It’s as close to ‘realworld engineering’ as a student can get,” said Inspiring Leaders in Technology & Engineering (ILITE) Robotics Team Lead, Jacob Maltbie. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. “This year, NSWC Carderock Division’s outreach mentors supported the National Defense Education Program’s (NDEPs) exhibit at the DC FIRST Regional Robotics Competition. Since the majority of the 64 teams here are local to the D.C. area, this is an incredible opportunity to share our SeaPerch and Calculator-Controlled Robot outreach programs with a captive audience,” said NSWCCD Ocean EngineerToby Ratcliffe, coordinator of NSWCCD’s K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Outreach programs, including SeaPerch,TI and Bristle Bots throughout the metropolitan area. NSWC

Carderock employs a large number of scientists and engineers and has a robust outreach program goal to collaborate with local schools to expand students and teacher's awareness and understanding of careers in STEM - to further garner student interest in future careers in science and engineering. For more information about SeaPerch, please visit: www.seaperch.org, where students and teachers can blog, post video and pictures, and view training video segments of the build process. The event featured opportunities to see future scientists and engineers testing their own creative and modernized design concepts. “My experience with FIRST Robotics and my personal continuation through STEM education has truly inspired me to pursue new careers and experience to take on new challenges in STEM related activities,” said Virginia Tech student, Rebecca Wescott, who provided support to the ILITE RoboticsTeam. This competition allowed students to design, build, and test competitively, which is a part of NSWC Carderock Division’s larger out-

reach efforts designed to spark student’s interest in STEM. “FIRST provides the most invigorating opportunity for me to implement my personal goal in life of ’opening doors for people from 6to 66’,” said Professor Gail Drake from Battlefield High School, ILITE Robotics, in Haymarket, VA. “I love to show and lead people to find a passion and use their talents in an engaging, rewarding and giving way.” Simon Gray, NAVSEA PEO Ships’ Production Manager for DDG1000, said, “With the ever increasing automation in the world, it is critical to introduce the girls and boys into the exciting and ever expanding future world of engineering. I have a goal in life to continually introduce one more youth into the science and engineering (S&E) fields, one day at a time.” Carderock is the full-spectrum research and development, test and evaluation, engineering, and Fleet support organization for the Navy’s ships, submarines, military watercraft, and unmanned vehicles for the Navy Fleet of the 21st Century.

Around the Yard What is your reaction to the statistic: 3 sexual assaults occur each day on average in the U.S. Navy?

Happy Birthday Pax River By Gary Younger, NAS Patuxent River Public Affairs Another historic milestone has been reached at Naval Air Station Patuxent River: the 69th anniversary of the base's April 1, 1943 commissioning. Or, if you say the birth of the base began with construction, the first shovels turned dirt 70 years ago, Wednesday. Officially, the commissioning date is celebrated. Regardless of which date you use, much has been made here during the seven decades since planning began for what was known then as Naval Air Station Cedar Point, taking its name from the displaced community. Many, however, thought the moniker could be confused with NAS Cherry Point in North Carolina, so the name was changed in favor of another local landmark, the Patuxent River. Situated on a peninsula between the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay, NAS Patuxent River is located on more than 6,400 acres of what was once prime farmland, consisting of several large plantations, including Mattapany, Susquehanna and Cedar Point. There were also numerous tenant and sharecropper properties and a few clusters of vacation homes. The Cedar Point community included several churches, a post office, and a gas station. In 1937, the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics sought to consolidate aviation test programs, previously being conducted at several stations, including Dahlgren and Nor-

folk, Va.; the Washington Navy Yard and Naval Air Station Anacostia in Washington, D.C., and the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia. Cedar Point was selected due to its remote location on the coastline, well removed from air traffic congestion, with ample space for weapons testing. The onset of American involvement in World War II spurred establishment of the new air station. Rear Admiral John Henry Towers, Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics, requested approval and authorization to begin construction on December 22, 1941, just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox, gave approval on January 7, 1942; residents had about a month, until March 1, 1942, to relocate as the federal government purchased all the land at a cost of $712,287 for 6,412 acres. Construction began on April 4, 1942. Within a year, farming operations at Cedar Point were replaced by flight test operations. Employing some 7,000 people at its peak of construction, the area had a very Gold Rush "boom town" feel as local residents were joined by workers from all over the country, eager for the high-paying jobs on station. Rear Admiral John S. McCain, then chief of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, called Patuxent River "the most needed station in the Navy" during the commissioning ceremony. Happy 69th Birthday, NAS Patuxent River, and here's to many great years ahead.

Converting to eOPFs will not only maximize available technology, it will also enable immediate 24/7 access for employees, hiring managers and human resource professionals to critical personnel documents online through a secure internet connection. Employees must ensure they have entered their correct email address into their DCPDS records via MyBiz prior to May 1. This must be done on a secure DON network (NMCI).

SAAM Continued from 1 readiness of Sailors it victimizes. Therefore, it affects the entire organization and by extension the safety and protection of the United States. "Sexual assault prevents us, as a Navy, from working as a team," said Rear Adm. Martha Herb, Director, Personnel Readiness and Community Support. "This violence is corrosive to morale, and to our operational and combat readiness." The importance of realizing that sexual assault is a problem that belongs to the entire Navy, and not just groups by gender, age or other characteristics is being heavily emphasized by various command authorities. One step towards prevention is removing the reluctance of "talking about" the issue. "Sailors need to be aware of the importance of 'if you see something, say something'," said Naval District Washington (NDW) Command Master Chief Leland

Moore. "If they do see something requiring intervention, then say something.” SAAM is being recognized throughout the Navy, and NDW is no exception. Events last week included a Ribbon Tying at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, in which Sailors and Airmen tied teal ribbons, the symbol adapted for sexual assault, to trees around the base in order to increase awareness. The National Capitol Region (NCR) as a whole also conducted a Sexual Assault Awareness Walk, also to increase awareness. Briefs have been conducted at Anne Arundel Community College and the National Security Agency/Fort Meade. "I am very encouraged by the sexual assault awareness events and training efforts that are going on throughout the Navy this month," said Herb. "We can no longer afford to be silent on this issue. I encourage all [Sailors] to join in on the discussion." SAAM and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) efforts continue next week with the theme "Prevention is everyone's duty".

on security and accountability before, during, and after destructive weather. The Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS) is a key part of this accountability. The Navy uses the NFAAS to account for Sailors and Navy families, as well as to identify disaster-related needs of Navy families. Sailors and their families should ensure their information is up to date in NFAAS. (NFAAS Website https://navyfamily.navy.mil) "For the average Sailor individual and family emergency preparedness for destructive weather is arguably the principal benefit to be gained from the annual HURREX exercise," said Thompson Gerke, with NDW Operations (N3). "Self-registration in the NDW Wide Area Alert Network and updating information in the NFAAS are key and essential tasks." The Naval Safety Center has information on preparing for destructive weather which can be found at www.public.navy .mil/navsafecen/Documents/media/safeti ps/f-m/hurricane.doc More information on Navy Family Emergency Preparedness can also be found at www.cnic.navy.mil/CNIC _HQ_Site/WhatWeDo/FamilyLine/FamilyPreparedness/index.htm.

Keynes, Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics Book review

Thursday, April 12, 2012

AFPAK Blog: On the Ground

Reviewed by Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN Keynes, Hayek: The Clash That Defined Modern Economics by Nicholas Wapshott. Published byW.W.Norton and Company,New York,2011. Economics is often referred to as“The Dismal Science,” but this derogatory term coined by British historianThomas Carlyle in the 19th century masks the very real issue that economics permeates our daily lives. Today’s hot debates center on what Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel asks: is the United States a market economy an effective tool of efficiently organizing production or have we become a market society in which market values seep into every aspect of human endeavor? Can advanced nations with a low birthrate sustain social welfare programs for the retired and elderly? Is pumping money the answer to addressing a freeze in lending? These and many more complex questions pervade our national discourse, and journalist and biographer NicholasWapshott has written about two economists who are at the center of our discussions on the economy for the last century. They, John Maynard Keynes and Frederich von Hayek, two very different thinkers with different views on how to handle such crises as an global economic depression, the role of government in a market economy, and in the case of Keynes providing us the language that helps us today delineate between micro and macro economics, as well as giving us the tools of what would evolve into econometrics (measuring the national as well as global economy). Keynes was born in Cambridge, England and Hayek was born in Vienna, Austria. Both would experience the aftermath of World War I in different ways, Keynes as a part of the reparations delegation for the Paris 1919 Peace Conference and Hayek as struggling with currency devaluation. The book untangles how each would look upon the impact of money, economics, and the business cycle. Keynes’s big idea was the advocacy of government using fiscal and monetary policies to manage or lessen the impact of economic recessions and depressions. Keynes argued that a government dollar spent is not just a dollar but when passed around to acquire goods and services has a multiplier effect on the general economy. He asked us to look at aggregate demand, the

total demand for final goods and services at a given time and at a given price level. Hayek took the opposite approach arguing that the most efficient means of organizing the economy is by completely leaving it to the free market, his argument of the primacy of free market in coordinating people and that government meddling would only delay the inevitable bust in the business cycle, which Hayek saw as self-correcting and thereby leading to an eventual boom. Both men wrote at about the same time, and publicly disagreed with one another openly, the book is about this debate, and the final chapter discusses those influenced by one or the other. In 2008, with the American economy on the brink those who may have been ardent in their views about Hayek’s theories about the free market amended those views to embrace Keynes to save the financial system from collapse. Wapshott has made the ideas of two fathers of modern economics come to life through historical narrative and biography. The book will take readers into the language of modern economics as it evolved through the eyes of Keynes and Hayek. Editor’s Note: Cmdr.Youssef Aboul-Enein teaches part-time at the National Defense University and maintains a regular book review column in the Naval DistrictWashington newspaper,Waterline.

Lt. Cmdr. Qureshi and his team meet with a village elder. Masoud Hashime, the Project Manager for the AFPAK Dari program said: "The capstone exercise is one of the most significant and highly effective pieces of the AFPAK Hands language training program. It allows the "Hands" to apply their language skills and cultural knowledge to situations they might encounter in theater. Role players are carefully selected and the stages are authentically built or decorated to give participants the feel of being in the country. It's an opportunity for them to foster fluency, build confidence in casual and formal conversations and build strong rapport with their counterparts." In Kabul the "Hands" are continuing their training for two more weeks at the COIN Academy located at Camp Julien on the outskirts of Kabul before taking up their final assignments with their units. Cohort 3C will spend the next 12 months in Afghanistan supporting the transition operations in preparation for the December 31, 2014 change to Afghan led security. Editor's Note: This week's submission is part 2 of 2 and was graciously sent to the Waterline by Lt. Cmdr. Ahmed Qureshi, COMISAF Advisory and Assistance Team, Kabul, Afghanistan. AFPAK Hands is a language and cultural immersion initiative which consists of three phases: language and cultural training, in and out of theater deployment. During an out of theater deployment a service member can be assigned to a government agency, DoD command or other organization where their work in country can be applied and then add to their perspective when they redeploy.

U.S. and Afghan officials negotiate on night raid policies By Jim Garamone, American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, April 3, 2012 – As U.S., NATO and Afghan officials discuss the future of night raids in Afghanistan, the raids are effective and Afghan forces participate in the planning of every night operation, a senior Defense Department official said here today. “[Night raids have] been a concern of the Afghan government for some time,” George Little, acting assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said in a news conference. “We recognize that. We recognize the effectiveness, as well, that night operations have had over time.” NATO and U.S. officials contend that

conducting night operations reduces the danger to civilians while keeping pressure on insurgents. International Security Assistance Force officials in the Afghan capital of Kabul say 85 percent of night operations occur without a shot being fired, and only about 1 percent of night operations have led to civilian casualties. Still, night operations are a bone of contention for the Afghan government, and the coalition is working with the government to assuage their concerns, Little said. “We believe we’re making progress in heading toward an agreement on this and a broad range of other issues,” he added. “ISAF forces are working hand in hand with our Afghan partners on night operations, and they are highly effective.”

Al-Qaida is smaller and has been hurt badly by continued U.S. and coalition attacks, but it remains a danger, Little said. “The important thing to remember about al-Qaida is that … even though they may be smaller than some other groups in the region, it’s about their objectives,” he said. “And … even though they are damaged from serious pressure that's been brought to bear against them, one of their objectives remains to attack the United States and our allies. So we have to keep the pressure up. We have to make sure that they don't have the ability to strike us again.” Little stressed that Afghan national security forces are making progress. About 330,000 Afghan soldiers and police are serving today, a number headed to 352,000 this

summer. “There’s been a lot of discussion recently, and rightfully so, about some tragic and recent incidents,” he said, referring to attacks on coalition forces by Afghans in uniform. But the overwhelming majority of Afghan forces have made progress, he added. “They’re doing great work, on their own and with us and with our allies,” Little said, adding that while there have been incidents, the over-arching progress cannot be denied. “This is a testament to our Afghan allies’ commitment to taking the fight on themselves [and] providing for their own security, and we’re going to continue to stick with them to try to enhance their capabilities,” he said. “This is important.”

2012 Navy Military Child of the Year Awarded at Gala By MC3 Shannon Burns, Defense Media Activity - Navy WASHINGTON (NNS) -- During the Fourth Annual Military Child of the Year Awards Gala the five recipients of this year's Military Child of the Year Awards were presented with their awards by senior leadership of each branch of service at the Ritz Carlton in Washington D.C. April 5. Keynote speakers during the ceremony included Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey and Medal of Honor recipient Sammy Davis. "I think that our military kids are who they are because of the hardships, the moves, and their adaptability," said Dempsey. "One of the things that sets us apart is that our kids become who they are because of what we ask them to do and because of what they see us do." Jim Knotts, President and CEO of Operation Homefront said that these children are honored because of their contributions to their communities. "The sons and daughters of America's service members learn what patriotism is at a very young age," said Knotts. "Children in military families demonstrate leadership within their families and within their communities. This is what the Military Child of the Year Award honors." Each year one child from each branch of service is chosen as the military child of the year. This year's Military Child of the Year for the Navy, 9 year old James "Nate" Richards, was presented with his award by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert. "I am so proud of our military kids for their resilience, strength of character, and unselfish service to our nation," said Greenert. "Nate's father and three brothers all serve on active duty as a part of our Navy-Marine Corps team. He and his family are special people and we are so fortunate to have them on our team." Richards was chosen from a pool of 1,000 nominees by a committee made up of active duty military personnel, Family Readiness Support Assistants, teachers, military mothers, and community members. At one time Richards' three brothers and his father were deployed simultaneously. To help him deal with the difficulty of their absence he started a blog entitled "natethegreatamilitarybrat" (http://natethegreatamilitarybrat.wordpress.com/) where he shared his wisdom about being a child in a military family. "It was hard because my brothers took care of me when my dad was gone, and then everyone was gone," said Richards. "I wrote the blog so my friends could see what it was like." Richards said that being chosen as this year's Navy Military Child of the Year has been a cool experience.

"This has been awesome," said Richards. "My favorite part was coming up on stage and receiving my award and also hearing Mr. [Sammy] Davis [Sgt. 1st Class (Ret.)] play the harmonica." Richards had some advice for other military children who may have family members deployed. "Think about something else," said Richards. "Read a book or a book series and try not to listen to the news about where your person is deployed to." He also had a message for his father and his brothers. "I want to tell my brothers and my dad that I love and miss them and hope they come back soon," he said. Operation Homefront provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. A national nonprofit, Operation Homefront leads more than 4,500 volunteers across 23 chapters and has met more than 590,000 needs since 2002. A four-star rated charity by watchdog Charity Navigator, nationally, 94 percent of total revenue donated goes directly to support service members and their families.

U.S., Japanese leaders celebrate centennial of cherry trees By Paul Bello, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- With the obelisk of theWashington Monument in plain sight across the Potomac River, those gathered for Thursday’s Japanese cherry tree planting ceremony on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling couldn’t have asked for a better view or day to celebrate the longtime friendship between two proud nations. Senior U.S. military personnel joined Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki and members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in planting five trees along the banks of the Potomac near JBAB’s Giesboro Park. The trees, which symbolize each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and their Japanese counterparts, are descendents of the original cherry trees given to the U.S. by Japan back in 1912 as a sign of friendship, or “tomodachi.” A monument stone was also unveiled in the same area where the grove of cherry trees will one day flourish. “If you were to close your eyes and think of a place to plant a grove of Japanese cherry trees, this would be it,” said retired U.S. Army Col. George Newman. “The trees will one day be as U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Steele C. G. Britton high as 50 feet and have a reach of about 40 feet.
