HURREX Comes to a Close By Benjamin Christensen, Waterline staff writer
The Navywide HURREX/Citadel Gale 2012 exercise is coming to a close the end of this week and has provided Naval District Washington (NDW) an excellent opportunity to test its destructive weather preparation and response procedures. HURREX is the culmination of the Navy's annual battery of tests to ensure that Sailors and emergency managers are prepared for destructive weather scenarios. Although there is some attention paid to winter storms, the hurricane season, which lasts from June through November, is of particular concern to Navy commands, and for good reason. Over the last two centuries, tropical cyclones have claimed the lives of approximately 1.9 million people. The United States has 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 storm in American history. "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". HURREX/Citadel Gale is conducted with a particular focus on Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness (COR). The readiness conditions help frame the preparation effort for a hurricane in terms of times until the threat presents itself. There are five CORs, starting with COR V, which states that destructive winds (of 50 knots or greater) are possible within four days (96 hours). The CORs then descend from IV at 72 hours, III at 48 hours, II at 24 hours, to finally COR I when possibly damaging winds are going to be present within 12 hours. HURREX is an annual exercise which consists of all Navy commands in some way preparing for a simulated storm system to pass through NDW's Area of Operations (AO), threatening NDW installations, as well as the Caribbean Islands, East Coast and Gulf Coast regions. This year's particular storm system, named "Zeus", was a tropical storm that hit NDW Tuesday morning.

SAAM: We will Not Tolerate Sexual Assault By Benjamin Christensen, Waterline staff writer The fourth and final message for the month of April to those in the Navy family is a resounding warning: 'We will NotTolerate Sexual Assault'. Sexual assault is a blight on the United States' armed forces, with a crime occurring three times a day in the Navy alone. However, the Navy is also on the forefront of proactive steps to eliminate sexual assault from the ranks for good, and Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) provides opportunities for all hands to learn about the risks and impact that sexual assault can bring

Discovery space shuttle final flight above Joint Base Andrews Marking the end of an era in America's space exploration endeavors, the space shuttle Discovery made its final flight over Andrews and the National Capitol Region on April 17, riding atop a modified Boeing 747. The shuttle's final destination is the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Udvar-Hazy center in Virginia, which houses many other spacerelated artifacts. First taking flight in 1984, Discovery served as NASA's fleet leader until it completed its final mission in March of 2011. Discovery's sister ships, Endeavour and Atlantis are slated to retire later this year, as NASA closes the space shuttle program.

New Orleans kicks off War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration Navy week From New Orleans Navy Week Joint Information Center NEW ORLEANS (NNS) -- The people of New Orleans and visitors to the city will be able to tour 11 ships from six nations that arrived in New Orleans April 17, to participate in the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration and "Star Spangled Banner" Navy Week 2012. The ships moored at several piers along the east bank include the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the destroyer USS Mitscher and frigate USS De Wert. FS Germinal from France, HMS Montrose from Great Britain and HMCS St. John's from Canada make up the international naval contingent, along with the tall ships Dewaruci from Indonesia and BAE Guayas from Ecuador. "This opportunity to visit the historic city of New Orleans for the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812 is a once in a lifetime experience for Wasp and the crew," said Capt. Gary M. Boardman, USS Wasp's commanding officer. "Wasp is a first-rate command, and I couldn't be more proud of my ship and crew to be selected for such an event." The commemoration in New Orleans is an opportunity for Sailors and Marines to engage the American public to increase awareness and knowledge of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, and the vital role these services play in defense of the nation and the projection of the maritime power and security. "This is a fantastic opportunity for our Sailors and Marines to tell their story, and the story of the sea services," said Boardman. "I would like my Sailors to reflect back on what we as a Navy accomplished back in 1812 and look at how far we have come." "I'm very excited and honored to be able to experience my first Navy Week in New Orleans," said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Justin Kesterson. "I'm not quite sure what to expect, but I'm signed up for a few tours and ready to get out and see the city." Service members from the United States will compete in athletic events such as soccer, softball, basketball and tugof-war with sailors from Ecuador, Indonesia, France, Canada, and Great Britain. Two hundred years ago, the United States was a sparsely populated, newly independent country fighting in a war
with Great Britain - the worlds largest Empire - over land and maritime superiority. The War of 1812 brought forth many heroic acts on land and at sea in defense of our freedom and national sovereignty. Other events throughout the week include a seafood cook-off competition featuring local celebrity chefs teamed with military culinary specialists Friday afternoon at Woldenberg Park. The week will culminate in an air show over Lake Pontchartrain on Saturday and Sunday, featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. A complete schedule of tours and other events open free to the public can be found at nolanavyweek.com, including tickets to Friday night's War of 1812 Gala at the National World War II Museum. Nearly a dozen community projects have been identified and many of these visitors will be lending a hand during the port visit. "I'm looking forward to helping those who need assistance," said Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Charles R. Thorp, from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. "That is what the military is all about, it's not about helping yourself, but giving back to people that need your help." Visitors from the ships as well as Navy Seabees from Gulfport, Miss., will roll up their sleeves and plant trees along Lake Pontchartrain, build a house with Habitat for Humanity and visit children in local hospitals. The six-day celebration of the sea services honors the men and women of the military through public events and recognition, and also provides an opportunity to showcase the capabilities of surface platforms, equipment and the skills of the men and women serving aboard these vessels. Ships will be open for public visits throughout the week. Commemorative events are scheduled to continue along the East Coast and Great Lakes over the next three years in 14 cities, culminating in New Orleans in January 2015, the bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans. In 1815, a mostly volunteer army led by future president Andrew Jackson defeated a much larger British force at Chalmette, securing the Mississippi River and the entire Louisiana Purchase. U.S. Navy Sailors and U.S. Marines were among the defenders, and Navy cannon contributed to the firepower that devastated 10,000 crack British troops.

The commemoration is a salute to all Sailors and Marines who fought in that conflict, who have served in our nations's conflicts since then, and who are defending freedom around the world today.

Panetta honors Holocaust victims, survivors By Karen Parrish, American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, April 19, 2012 – “Today we pause to remember and honor 6 million souls who were murdered not because of anything they had done, but because of who they were,” Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said during a Holocaust Remembrance Day program at the Pentagon today. Holocaust Remembrance Day, a U.S. observance that joins with other worldwide events, honors the 6 million Jewish people who died, in Europe during World War II, many of them in Nazi death camps. The secretary said he helped to establish Yom Hashoah --Holocaust Remembrance Day –as a U.S. observance while serving in the House of Representatives in 1980. It’s also an occasion to remember survivors of the Holocaust, he noted. “They bore witness to evil and to tragedy,” he said, “and in their strength we all find inspiration – inspiration to fight against the intolerance and indifference that allowed all of this to happen.” Charlotte Schiff, guest speaker for today’s program, is the sole member of her family who survived the Holocaust. The
secretary said Schiff has dedicated her life to making sure those who perished in the Holocaust are never forgotten. “It is our honor to affirm to you that we will never stop fighting in the memory of those who perished – fighting for a better future, [and] fighting for a world safe from aggression, from tyranny and from injustice,” he told her at the Pentagon event. Yom Hashoah also is a day to celebrate the Jewish people, “who overcame this tragedy and built a strong and vibrant Jewish state in Israel,” Panetta said. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who arrived at the Pentagon today for bilateral defense talks with Panetta, also attended the Holocaust Remembrance Day event. Panetta said Barak, a highly decorated soldier, prime minister, and now minister of defense, has lived his life as a tribute to the memory of the Holocaust, and to the memory of his two grandparents who were murdered at the Treblinka death camp in occupied Poland. “Ehud, I am proud to be your partner, I’m proud to be your friend, and I’m proud to work with you in continuing to strengthen the U.S.-Israel defense relationship,” the secretary said. Panetta said today’s U.S. military was
forged in the fight against Nazi tyranny. “To defeat Hitler,” he said, “we mobilized all of the strength that we could muster, and in that effort we witnessed many of our finest hours as a military and, indeed, as a country.” Panetta said U.S. soldiers in World War II served as witnesses to the atrocities of the death camps, and helped to nourish and care for Holocaust survivors. He added that one Army captain, Seymour Pomrenze, helped to ensure “enormous caches of looted cultural materials” were returned to their rightful heirs or Jewish successor organizations. “[Pomrenze] was a hero whose actions embodied the professionalism and dedication of the uniform he wore,” he added. Panetta said that in spite of the good American and Allied forces did in World War II, “we must always remember that we were unable to save the 6 million Jews who perished under Hitler’s cruel reign.” That burden, he added, must be carried forward as a determination that no horror like the Holocaust ever happens again. “Today we renew that commitment, and we do so by coming together to bear witness, just as our service members did more than 65 years ago,” Panetta said.

Clayton Klaver, 11th Security Forces superintendent of operations, and Jim Thrift, retired Navy and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) professional trainer, taught participants techniques to help protect them from a sexual assault or life-threatening situation, regardless of their stature or skill set. “I’ve never taken a self-defense class, but you never know what kind of situation you can find yourself in, so it’s nice to have some tools of the trade that you can use,” said Col. Gina Humble, 11th Operations Group commander, after successfully executing a technique to free herself from an “attacker”. The techniques shown to the men, women and children who attended the selfdefense course ranged from Krav Maga, the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, combative defense moves, to Muay Thai, Jui Jitsu and basic self-defense techniques. The participants learned a variety of moves in a “demo-do” method with the goal of obtaining muscle-memory movement so the acquired tactics could be executed with confidence in an actual emergency. The basic techniques included: being aware of your surroundings; the most effective body parts to hit, such as, the eyes, ears, nose, neck and knees; maximizing damage by using elbows, knees and head; as well as leveraging weight to get out of or defend
HURREX Continued from 1 rock and the Washington Navy Yard, and a sewage overflow leak at NSAW. NSA Annapolis was also heavily impacted in the scenario, requiring the EOC responders to muster buses and Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs) to assist in evacuation of Midshipmen from the Naval Academy. A casualty was simulated as well, as a body was discovered near the Display Ship Barry (DD 933) prompting staff to contact Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS). Fleet and Family Readiness (FFR), played a large role in coordinating response to the damages, utilizing the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System (NFAAS). According to Kelly Kurisko with FFR, updating data in NFAAS is a semi-annual requirement for all Sailors, and should be done as often as possible. "Communication with Navy families is critical," said Kurisko. "Update information in NFAAS and keep battle books up to date." With the exercise nearing completion, one might wonder what benefits the average Sailor might see from an operation

Service members, dependents and citizens participated in a self-defense class at the West Fitness center on April 13, in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness month. Seasoned Mixed Martial art trainer Jim Thrift, and Senior Master Sgt. Clayton Klaver11th Security Forces superintendent of operations, who teaches MMA here, instructed the event. against common holds or attacks. “At the end of the day, our goal is to help people feel confident that they can defend themselves and go home to take care of their families,” said Thrift. Both Klaver and Thrift expressed a great deal of gratitude for the opportunity to give back to the military. “The military has taught me so much,” said Thrift. “I’m glad that I can contribute to helping keep military members safe by volunteering to instruct this class.” General Norton A. Schwartz, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, recently said sexual assaults directly undermine the Air Force Core Values, erodes the trust and confidence upon which our institution is built, and diminishes our mission readiness. “I expect each member of our great Air Force to promote and ensure a culture that does not tolerate sexual assault … not now, not ever,” Schwartz said.
such as HURREX. After all, the odds are pretty low of a hurricane dramatically affecting NDW's AO. According to Thompson Gerke with NDW Operations, however, even a slim chance is enough to ensure preparation in a Navy that is ready for anything. "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 Gerke. "Prudent steps taken by all hands to be prepared for destructive weather phenomena that our region experiences greatly minimizes mission degradation and the possibility of loss of life and damage to government and personal property." The Naval Safety Center has information on preparing for destructive weather which can be found at http://www.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/Documents/media/safetips/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.

Galula in Algeria: Counter-Insurgency Practice versus Theory Book review Galula in Algeria: Counter-Insurgency Practice versus Theory by Gregor Mathias. Translated by Neal Durando and Foreword by David Ucko. Published by Praeger Press, Boulder, Colorado. 137 pages, 2011. As Algeria observes the 60th anniversary of its independence from French colonial rule this may be a good time to reflect on the impact this conflict has had in the 21st century. Operation Iraqi Freedom has led America’s military planners to rediscover what went wrong and what went right with the tactics of the French in Algeria. French army officer David Galula acquired a reputation, specializing in counter-insurgency warfare beginning with his service in a mountainous sector of Algeria in 1956 to 1957 to witnessing Chinese civil war as a military attaché, as well as observing first hand communist insurgencies in Greece and the Philippines. The U.S. Army Field Manual 3-24 published in 2006 on Counter-insurgency and designed to educate soldiers serving in Iraq cites Galula’s work. Gregor Mathias works for the Service Historique de la Defense, the equivalent of our own Secretary of Defense Office of the Historian, and he specializes in the Algerian War. Neal Durando has done a
service by translating from French Mathias’s book entitled “David Galula et la contre-insurrection en Algerie,” published in 2010. It provides a slim and short volume distilling the main lessons learned from the rural campaigns in the Algerian War on Independence.
Galula’s main focus is the population, by protecting and providing for a population you open venues by which an insurgency can become vulnerable.
Galula’s main focus is the population, by protecting and providing for a population you open venues by which an insurgency can become vulnerable. An effective tool was the Section Administrative Specialee (SAS); these were military teams living in Algeria’s villages constructing schools, roads and medical services. The SAS presence so unnerved the Armée de libération nationale (ALN) the military arm of the Algerian independence movement that SAS officers were directly targeted. A section discusses the importance of media, perception and propaganda, and
how effective the Front de libération nationale (FLN) was in saturating the airwaves with anti-colonial propaganda. Of note, while the French colonization and discrimination policies in Algeria among the majority Muslim population was becoming untenable, the FLN targeted many Muslims deemed working for the French. It demonstrates the importance of not isolating a population, and Galula has much to say about the harkis, Muslim and Algeria troops serving alongside French forces who understood the ter-
rain and social organization of villages in the Algerian mountains. Galula’s work focuses on the tactics of the Algerian War for Independence. If you are completely unfamiliar with this conflict, let me recommend reading Alistair Horne’s definitive book “A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962,” and you may wish to watch the multi-part documentary “The Algerian War,” originally released in English in 1975 and re-released many times, the last one being on 2011 by then Military Heritage Institute. These will give you a tactical, operational, and strategic view of the conflict that led to the collapse of the French Fourth Republic and the ascendancy of Charles De Gaulle into power as well as the mutiny of French generals in Algeria. Finally, there is the famous and timeless 1965 film by Gilo Pontecorvo “The Battle of Algiers,” You can take this book review column to your base library and ask the librarian to acquire these items for you through inter-library loan. Editor’s Note: CDR Aboul-Enein teaches part-time at the National Defense University and maintains a regular book review column in NDW Waterline. He is author of a new book “Iraq in Turmoil: Historical Perspectives of Dr Ali alWardi from the Ottomans to King Feisal,” published by Naval Institute Press.

SAAM Continued from 1 about. SAAM in the Navy looks to break down the barriers around talking about an admittedly uncomfortable topic by discussing the issue around 4 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 NDW. This week's theme is 'We Will Not Tolerate Sexual Assault', which is a battle cry against the heinous act. The Navy
has an absolute zero-tolerance policy towards sexual assault, which reminds offenders that they have no place here. "Every Sailor should be saying: Sexual Assault, will not be tolerated," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Rick D. West. "Continue to make me proud and eradicate sexual assault from our ranks." According to ChandraVickers, Deputy Equal Employment Officer (EEO) for Naval District Washington (NDW), the close quarters required of military men and women makes it a prime demographic for "familiarity breeding contempt", but ultimately [military members] will have to rely on their training, which she says is key to stopping this problem. SAAM is being recognized throughout the Navy, and NDW is no exception. Events included a Ribbon Tying at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, in which Sailors and Airmen tied teal rib-
bons, 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 AwarenessWalk, 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 Rear Adm. Martha Herb, Director, Personnel Readiness and Community Support. "We can no longer afford to be silent on this issue. I encourage all [Sailors] to join in on the discussion."

Select NSA Crane trees to help repair 'Old Ironsides' By Bill Couch, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Midwest Public Affairs CRANE, Ind. (NNS) -- Representatives from the Boston Navy Yard assessed specially designated trees at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Crane April 17 and 18 in preparation for the next planned dry-docking repair of USS Constitution, the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat. Foreman Dwight Demilt, ship restorer and Robert Murphy production manager, Naval History and Heritage Command's Boston Detachment hiked to see several dozen white oak trees dispersed around the heavily forested 63,000-acre base in southern Indiana to determine which might be suitable for repairing the unique warship. "I'm very satisfied with the trees I've seen here," said Demilt, a former Navy machinery repairman who also supported Constitution's last dry-docking repair availability from 1991 to 1995 at the 211-year old former Navy shipyard,
1031604
now part of Boston National Historical Park, which maintains Constitution. "We're eager to support you," said Cmdr. James Stewart, commanding officer of NSA Crane, to the visiting ship restorers. "The ship is such a big deal, such an important part of the Navy's heritage, and Crane is very proud to have this tie to Constitution and the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812." Although the actual dry-docking and repair is planned for 2014 through 2018, now was the time to begin the long process of identifying suitable trees, harvesting, milling, shaping and finally installing them to match Old Ironsides' original white oak. Trent Osmon, forestry program manager for Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Midwest's Public Works Department (PWD) Crane environmental division, believes the timing will be critical. "We have a limited window each year to harvest timber here because Crane's forest is also a home for the endan-
gered Indiana Bat," said Osmon, who manages the base's 53,000 acres of forest. "In order to have the 70 or so trees cut and ready for repair work, we need to set things in motion now." Crane's forest, the largest contiguous forest under single ownership in Indiana, currently includes nearly 150 GPSlocated mature white oaks set aside for future use by Constitution. Crane's white oak trees will be used to replace deteriorated hull planking and supporting structures called "knees" on Old Ironsides, said Murphy and Demilt, restoring the ship's hull with the same kind of wood used to build the ship in 1797. Constitution earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" while engaging British ships during the War of 1812. British sailors observed cannon balls bouncing off Constitution's hull and exclaimed her sides must have been made of iron. Demilt explained that Constitution's resilience comes from a revolutionary design by ship builder Joshua Humphreys, called "frame and space." "The ship's hull was never penetrated by cannon fire because it has an outer layer of white oak hull planking up to seven inches thick, on top of 12 inches of live oak frames, followed by an inner layer of white oak planking up to five inches thick," said Demilt. "And unlike the walls of a house, there are only two inches between pairs of live oak frame. That means there are essentially 24 inches of extremely strong wood along the entire length of the hull." For the upcoming repairs, most hull planks will be 30 to 40 feet long and six inches thick, and must have no defects, making them not only unique to handle, but very difficult to find, according to Murphy. "There's no market for sawn logs this long, except for maintaining the handful of wooden tall ships in the world," said Murphy. "It's really something to bring in craftsmen to work on something like this," said Demilt. "For the four years of this repair availability, we'll hopefully add 20 wood workers and ship builders to our normal 25-person workforce. But most will have never even seen a 40-foot plank, much less worked with one. There will be some on-the-job learning to do something like this." Demilt explained that even after more than 200 years, around 12 percent of Constitution's wood is original. "The keel, the bottom frames, and probably the bottom 13 planks of the hull have never had to be replaced," he said. According to Osmon's research, white oak trees at Crane were first approved to be set aside in November 1973, following work on Constitution with lumber purchased from the private sector, which proved to be very expensive, as white oak of that size is very valuable. "White oak is one of the more sought-after timber species for its attractive grain and color, and is mainly used nowadays for veneers," said PWD Crane forester Rhett Steele. A grove of trees at Crane was officially named "Constitution Grove" May 8, 1976, during the United States' bicentennial. This small ceremonial area of trees includes a few white oaks and provides visitors a representation of the base's widely dispersed inventory of the species. Osmon said that Crane and NAVFAC have continued to support the ship over the years, including for its bicentennial. "In preparation for the ship's 200th birthday in 1997, the ship was brought into dry dock for repairs in 1991," said Osmon. "When they brought her up, she was in need of more work than originally thought, so Crane was contacted to see if any timber could be provided. The trees set aside in the Constitution oak groves, originally intended for use in 2013 at the earliest, had not yet reached their full potential, so then-forester Terry Hobson located all the suitable white oak trees scattered throughout the base and chose the very best to send. The first trees were sent to Boston in December of 1991, and by November of 1994, 78 had been sent." Osmon was pleased with how the visit went. "I was a little nervous leading up to this visit," said Osmon. "I was hoping these trees, which we're very proud of, would meet Constitution's requirements. But now I feel great knowing we'll be supporting something that's so important to the Navy and, in a larger sense, the country. Coming during the bicentennial of the War of 1812 makes this even more special." For more information, visit www.navy.mil, www.facebook.com/usnavy, or www.twitter.com/usnavy.
