They Had No Right to Win – But They Did By Benjamin Christensen Waterline staff writer

There isn't any good reason why they won, except their ingenuity, dedication, will, and perhaps a bit of serendipity. Walter Lord, who penned the book Incredible Victory about the Battle of Midway, used the phrase: "They had no right to win… but they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war", a quote which now adorns the Midway dedication stone at theWorldWar II memorial in Washington, D.C. Perhaps if you ask one of the veterans from Midway, they would look at it a little differently. When asked what he would like people to remember about the battle, retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Albert Grasselli, a former Marine pilot, said simply the following. "We won," he said. The Battle of Midway is being commemorated this year for its 70th anniversary. The battle, which took place from June 4-8 1942, was a turning point in the Pacific War and arguably set the stage for the United States to help win the Second World War. A ceremony will be taking place at the Navy Memorial located in downtown Washington on June 4. The battle is noted as being the first real turning point in the war, and the first decisive victory by the United States in the war with Japan. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) had

already made broad strokes in the Pacific, beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Singapore, the Battle ofWake Island and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea. However, as retired Capt. John Crawford, a Midway veteran, notes, American forces had a trick up their sleeves moving in to the days before Midway: they had cracked the codes. “It was miraculous; our intelligence predicted the time of the planned attack, the distance and location of the Japanese” said Crawford. "Our intelligence had solved the problem. I was happy as a clam." The IJN had planned to draw the U.S. fleet out of the newly reinforced Pearl Harbor in what they believed to be a required defense of Midway Atoll, but since American cryptologists had recently deciphered JN-25 (the American code name for the Japanese cipher), Adm. Chester Nimitz was able to set a plan into motion that would turn the U.S. forces from the hunted to the hunter. By positioning his carriers to the northeast of Midway, Nimitz was able to keep them out of sight until the last possible moment. Still, considering all these advantages, circumstances could have still played out in the IJN's favor: their forces could have been consolidated, or American bombers who had been pursuing the IJN forces at an incorrect bearing could have not found the Japanese ships. But even considering the bit of luck they

Their commitment certainly translated into a right to win.

“The Navy has core values and the people who fought at Midway personify them," said Robert Crawford, a historian with the Naval History and Heritage Command.

Asians,Pacific Islanders key pieces for global good By Benjamin Christensen, Waterline staff writer Asians and Pacific Islanders have a proud tradition in the U.S. Navy, and in the armed forces as a whole. Their influence has been felt far and wide in the Navy and have ultimately provided a strong effort in a global force for good. Asians and Pacific Islanders are in a variety of different rates and rankings in the Navy, and have a particularly strong showing in various command roles. Rear Adm. Ming Erh Chang is one such individual. He start-

Hurricane exercise hones JBAB employees readiness By Senior Airman Susan L. Davis, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- Joint Base Anacostia Bolling (JBAB) recently conducted its annual base-wide hurricane preparedness exercise. Hurricane Exercise Citadel Gale 2012, a Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Fleet Forces Command (FFC) exercise, is conducted at this time every year to help commands prepare for the Atlantic hurricane season from June 1-Nov. 30. This year, JBAB played in the exercise with a scenario centered around an impending hurricane that was set to first strike North Carolina, and move up the coastline toward Virginia and Maryland. "As with all exercises, there were some areas where we performed extremely well, and areas where we could use some improvement," said Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra, JBAB commander. "Overall, though, I think our Airmen and Sailors did an outstanding job. They set a high bar for the next exercise." Sigmund Evans, JBAB emergency manager, called the exercise a great learning experience. "This is a very busy installation and any time we get to

"The whole purpose of this exercise is to get all our team members, JBAB staff, residents and mission partners thinking about what they would do in the event of a real hurricane, getting in the mindset of planning and preparing before the storm arrives, and how to recover afterward," Calandra said. "Training like we would fight familiarizes people with how things are done in a real-world situation. Ingraining into people's habits what steps to take can mitigate damage, and most importantly, save lives." Evans stressed the importance of getting an accurate headcount of all personnel attached to JBAB in the event of a disaster. "The accountability portion is extremely important, making sure we know where all of our personnel are located and that they're safe," he said. "JBAB did a wonderful job in this arena." The EOC, consisting of members from multiple organizations and disciplines on base, was stood up to monitor the hurricane and its potential impacts, and coordinate prevention, preparation, response and recovery procedures.The main event came Wednesday with a simulated incident involving a downed helicopter on the north end of the base. Other simulations included conducting a 100

Hurricane Conditions of Readiness (HURCONs) 1-5 were set throughout the exercise to help base residents and Emergency Operation Center (EOC) personnel take preparatory measures needed to properly secure the installation.

Sea Cadets train with NSASP police By Andrew Revelos, NSASP Staff Writer Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) police officers offered a special training session Apr. 14 to cadets from the Pentagon Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps (NSCC) and Navy League Cadet Corps (NLCC) onboard Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. The group included 30 young people age 10 to 18, and even before the training session ended, the cadets announced the law enforcement training constituted the "best drill weekend ever." The cadets' day began bright and early with a 0530 wakeup and a colors ceremony at the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC) at 0800. From there, the cadets marched to the base's JD's Conference Center, where they met NSASP police officers. After an introduction and safety brief, NSASP police chief Robert Brooks started the training session with an exercise that became very familiar with the cadets over the course of the day: pushups, and lots of them. If cadets did not keep count properly, the group did more push-ups.When one of the cadets' two squads did something better than the

other, more push-ups were requested. "It pays to be a winner," Brooks told the cadets. But the rewards of victory were short-lived for the winning squad: when the losing squad assumed the push-up position, Brooks asked the winners if they were not on the same team as the losers. The message was quickly understood and the winning squad did the push-ups alongside the losing squad. "[The cadets] have to work as a team or they'll fail," said Brooks. "One of the reasons we do so many pushups is not as punishment, but to reinforce the idea of the team concept. No pack is stronger than its weakest wolf; no wolf is stronger than the pack. If you could summarize the theme of the training today, it's teamwork."

Virtual marksmanship training

Parents of middle and high school-aged kids may have been surprised to see the young cadets not only embrace such training, but also have a great time doing it. "The [police officers] were really nice," said Elizabeth Hayes, Sea Cadet and leading petty officer (LPO) for the Pentagon Division. "Normal-

The training, overseen by police officers from NSASP, was designed to inspire teamwork, teach weapons safety and educate the cadets about law enforcement careers. ly, people are either too harsh or too easy with younger people, but they treated us just right." Of course, having an idea about how cool the rest of the training day would be may have added to the cadets' incentive to perform. After the physical training (PT) session, cadets learned safe and proper weapons handling with simulated firearms before putting those skills to use inside NSASP's law enforcement training facility and virtual training simulator. An excited gasp came over the

young people when the latter was described to them as a really "big video game." At the simulator, the cadets practiced their marksmanship and form under the watchful eyes of Senior Chief Master at Arms Chris Merz, assistant chief of NSASP police, and Sgt. Steve Mullen. Mullen was impressed by the smallest shooter at the Pentagon Division, 10-year old Hayleigh Mellinger. The young NLCC cadet took out nine simulated targets in seven and a half seconds with no misses.

"I guess big things do come in small packages," Mullen told a very proud Mellinger. An older cadet, Caleb Bunde, impressed the police officers with his speedy and accurate shooting. "You can tell he's been trained and trained correctly," said Mullen. Bunde let everyone in on the secret: his father is a retired Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) tech who competes in United States Practical Shooting Association (US PSA) and International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) matches. The younger Bunde had clearly absorbed much of his father's knowledge. "Video games" were only one part of the law enforcement training, however. Pentagon Division learned basic room clearing and entry techniques inside Building 217, where they practically fell over themselves to get a chance to swing the battering ram. Learning about several night vision devices and how they help police officers navigate the darkness was another big hit with the cadets. "I did like the night vision," said Hayes. "I thought that was cool. It was a little difficult to navigate but it

wasn't that bad." Hayes has participated in the Sea Cadets for four years and hopes to eventually join the Navy. "I want to do an ROTC program when I'm in college or Annapolis, if I can get in," she said.

Hands-on look at law enforcement

The NSASP police officers were happy to provide the hands-on look at their lifestyle. "We like to, as a police department, train with all levels of the naval services, whether they're cadets or military [service members] or fellow police officers," said Brooks. "This is a great opportunity, especially with these young people, to introduce them to some of the basic tactical stuff that they may learn later on in their careers if they go into law enforcement or into the military." Brooks and Mullen both emphasized how impressed they were with the young men and women of the Pentagon Division. "They are a very disciplined group of kids," said Brooks. "The ages range from 10 to 18, but you don't see the typical wandering attention spans. " "The kids were very fo-

PACIFIC Continued from 1 ed his career as a member of the Naval Reserve in 1955, and proceeded to earn a commission in 1956. He eventually worked his way to the rank of captain in 1977, and then was named rear admiral in 1982. He retired in 1990. Another prime individual to consider from the tradition of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. Navy is Rear Adm. Connie Mariano, who served as rear admiral during her appointment to the position of physician to the president of the United States. Mariano was born in 1955 at former Naval Station Sangley Point, roughly eight miles southwest of Manila, Philippines, as a daughter of a steward in the Navy who retired at the rank of Master Chief. Her family moved to the United States two years later. After graduating from high school as valedictorian in 1973, she attended Revelle College at University of California, San Diego, where she matriculated with cum laude honors. "I came to the White House by way of the kitchen" Mariano said to an audience in 2001. "I came from a family of Navy stewards." Mariano then joined the Navy in 1977 where she attended the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences on the campus of the former National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and received a medical degree in 1981. After her internship, Mariano was assigned to the USS Prairie (AD 15) and served as physician to her complement of over five-hundred Sailors. Following other appointments including

The Admiral visited various military installations throughout Hawaii to enhance mutual interest in maritime security and stability. as Head of Internal Medicine at the Naval Hospital in San Diego, she was nominated to the post of White House Physician in 1992. She served in that office for nearly a decade, longer than any other presidential physician and treated three sitting presidents. She was nominated for appointment to rear admiral (Lower Half) in May 2000. One of the major strengths of the U.S. Navy is its penchant to utilize diversity. By allowing for and ultimately embracing the various types of people available to its service, the Navy establishes and continues a proud tradition, and Pacific Islanders and Asian Americans certainly do that tradition justice.

USS Underwood Completes COMTUEX By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Frank J. Pikul, Southern Seas 2012 Public Affairs USS UNDERWOOD, At Sea (NNS) -- The Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate USS Underwood (FFG 36) completed Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMTUEX) April 30 and is deploying to Central and South America and the Caribbean in support of Southern Seas 2012. The ship participated in events for COMTUEX that simulated various situations, including combat-orientated exercises. "This was a great opportunity for us to get underway working in a multi-ship, complex warfare environment and set us up very well for success on deployment," said Cmdr. Michael D. Brassuer, USS Underwood executive officer. The COMPTUEX included a live-fire gun exercise of the ship's weapon systems, simulated missile attacks, small boat attacks, man overboard drills, underway replenishments, and ship boarding training by the visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) team. Underwood also sailed in formation with other U.S. Navy ships and practiced evasive maneuvers. These exercises were designed to be as true-to-life as possible. "It was realistic training," said Brassuer. "I could see by the watch team's reactions that they thought the scenarios were real." One of the highlights of COMTUEX for Underwood was the VBSS ship boarding exercise. The team boarded a simulated "ship of interest", USNS Hugo (TYL-8201), to search the vessel. They provided medical aid and engineering support during the simulation. "For COMTUEX, the VBSS team gets ready to be certified so that in case of emergencies, we can board vessels to search for any kind of contraband, such as illegal drugs and firearms," said Electricians Mate 2nd Class Aldo Rodriguez, a member of the VBSS team aboard Underwood. "They just want us to be ready to go whenever we spot a suspicious ship in the area." Underwood is deploying in support of Southern Seas 2012. Its first exercise will be UNITAS Pacific (UNITAS PAC), an exercise with foreign navies of South America, de-

CADETS Continued from 3 ing attention spans. " "The kids were very focused and I'm very impressed with that. I think they've done a great job with their attitudes and the learning curve, for that matter, was that of police officers I've taught at the academy." "Watching these young people learn... it's awesome," added Mullen. "I was really impressed with their capability to learn and apply the knowledge immediately. And they don't have any bad habits or preconceived notions. They listened and they did great. I see potential in quite a few of them." Corporals Randy Brown and Bryan Ma-

signed to practice security and stability operations. Crew members will also participate in community relation events while in port and will perform maritime security operations at sea. Underwood completed COMTUEX to gain qualifications required for its deployment. "It gave us a chance to come together as a team and get ready for deployment," said Brassuer. UNITAS, Latin for "unity", is the oldest maritime exercise conducted each year since 1959. The multinational exercise is focused on operating and training together in scenario-based environments, theater security operations, anti-terrorism and anti-narcotic operations. UNITAS also includes live-fire exercises, humanitarian assistance and disaster response training. U.S. personnel are given the opportunity to work and train side-by-side with sailors of Latin American navies and build relationships. The relationships that develop from this exercise will help foster cooperation and understanding between participating countries. U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet (COMUSNAVSO/C4F) support U.S. Southern Command joint and combined full-spectrum military operations by providing principally sea-based, forward presence to ensure freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain, to foster and sustain cooperative relationships with international partners and to fully exploit the sea as maneuver space in order to enhance regional security and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the Caribbean, Central and South American regions.

Pentagon Division executive officer, Ensign Teresa Crater, said the training made a very positive impact on the cadets. "It's pretty special," she said. "There are a lot of things they have to do with paperwork and coursework and those are kind of boring. This is one of the [drill weekends] that's action-packed and they love it. They were up this morning at 5:30 and they were waiting to go." Crater thanked the officers for their service and for the training. "This could not be possible without them," said Crater. "They're giving up their time and their weekend to help these kids out... we can't thank them enough. It wouldn't happen without them. They have the knowledge, the skills necessary and they made a difference in 30 cadets' lives."

The Algerian War AFPAK Blog:

On the Ground

DVD review DVD Review by CDR Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN Algerian War 1954-1962: Roots of the Counterinsurgency. DVD set re-issued by the Military Heritage Institute. November 2011. Three disks. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Algerian independence, it is an event that was advocated by then Senator John F. Kennedy as early as 1957, and then commented on when independence occurred when Kennedy was serving as President of the United States. Algeria has been a French colony since 1830, and their policies of forcibly integrating Algeria as part of France in their terms would cause a violent reaction after World War II, and lead to the collapse of the French Fourth Republic. This collapse brought World War II Free French leader General Charles De Gaulle to power, and after a rational calculation he would realize that keeping Algeria was politically, morally, and economically untenable even though French forces had won the battle, pacification and the rifts it caused French society made it difficult for the French to retain Algeria under conditions of racial and religious discrimination directed against the majority Arab and Muslim population. In a previous Waterline book column (October 13, 2011), I recommended the book by Sir Alistaire Horne entitled, “A Savage War of Peace,” (New York: Viking, 1978). However, if you are looking for a decent documentary let me suggest Yves Courriere and Phillippe Monnier’s 1972, “La Guerre d’ Algerie,” which was released to English speaking viewers in 1975, and then re-released a few more times, most recently in November 2011. The documentary is 4 hours and 40 minutes long, but is divided into three DVDs. It provides not only a his-

tory of the conflict, but interviews from the various participants, journalists who covered this conflict, and political advisors of the time from the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) to the office of French President De Gaulle. It also contains dramatic footage. Understanding this conflict matters, as it offers lessons on counter-insurgency from the tactical to the strategic. The use of violence and urban terror to provoke violence from authorities and create a cycle of terror is featured. In addition, discussions on how the cellular structure of the FLN was dismantled as told by a serving french military intelligence officer. However, the FLN continued to operate from safe-havens in newly independent Morocco and Tunisia and there cause was sustained by contempt for the Algerian population by the pied-noir, a term for French settlers in Algeria, and the favorable subsi-

"Also, take baby steps toward achieving your ultimate plan goals. Everything you do to prepare will help you and your family during an incident when it happens. It's not a matter of 'if,' but 'when' on the subject of disasters."

JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam Sailors Preview 'Battleship' By MC2 Mark Logico, Commander, Navy Region Hawaii Public Affairs PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- More than 450 Sailors, and their friends and families, attended the advance screening of Universal Studio's "Battleship" at Sharkey Theater on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, April 28. Filming for the movie in Hawaii began in 2010 when hundreds of Hawaii-based Sailors, veterans and Navy ships played parts in the movie. The movie featured the capabilities of U.S. Navy destroyers and WWII veterans. In January 2010, even the Battleship Missouri Memorial sailed out to sea for some initial filming. "We don't put enough attention with our elders, in particular our veterans," said Peter Berg, the director of the movie. "By far my favorite moment on Battleship is getting to meet these veterans. Some of those guys are in their 90s, and they would come on board with the energy of a 20 year old. They had all these stories. They were having the best time. They get to be on their ship. That was, by far, my career highlight." The cast of Battleship, including Peter Berg, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgard, and Rihanna, were all at Sharkey Theater to greet the audience. "There was a time when Hollywood didn't see eye-to-eye with the military, and I really think that time is no more," said Berg. "I think that Soldiers feel it. Soldiers are coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan to a different reception then they did when they came back from Vietnam, and I think

I'm just glad to be able to do my part to pay respect." The movie also featured Col. Gregory

Gadson, the Director of the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program, who is a Wounded Warrior himself. Gadson, who lost both his legs because of an improvised explosive device in 2007, practically played himself as Lt. Col. Mick Canales fighting aliens in the movie. "I like to say that fighting aliens is no different than fighting a human," said Gadson. "If you're fighting for your life, you're going to do whatever it takes to win." Gadson said he hopes the movie would also help all warriors, wounded or otherwise, and let them know that life can go on. "You've got to put behind you what's happened in the past," said Gadson. "When you have an opportunity to learn and to go through hard experiences, you can come out the other side and live a productive life." To prepare for her role in the movie, Rhi-

REVIEW Continued from 6 dies given to them at the expense of Algerians. The documentary features De Gaulle’s decision to change policy and place Algeria towards a path to independence, leading to a violent reaction from French settlers in Algeria. You will learn that De Gaulle had no particular like for the French settlers in Algeria who in World War II remained passive if not outright part of the pro-fascist Vichy French government. This change of policy would result in a mutiny of French generals hostile to negotiations resulting in Algerian independence in 1961. There are many facets to this documentary, many

anna enlisted the help of Gunner's Mate 2nd Class Jacquelyn Carrizosa, assigned aboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during the filming in 2010. "She really helped me out," said Rihanna. "I paid attention to her, everything about the way she dressed, the way she walked, her mannerisms, how she spoke, how collected she was. That was very crucial to me playing this part. She was a pretty girl but very, very tough. Her demeanor was so quiet and sweet, and then you see her put on this uniform and she walks on the set, she's a whole different beast. She helps me as a friend but when she gets in her element she's very intimidating." During the filming, Rihanna and the rest of the cast interacted with many of the Sailors in Hawaii so the actors could better understand their roles in the movie. "I was exposed to a lot of things that I didn't know about the Navy, just seeing their demeanor, where you lived, where you stayed," said Rihanna. "I heard about how long you guys stayed at sea without your family. It really was an awakening for me. It made me appreciate what you guys do so much more." The film opens officially in U.S. theaters on May 18. The movie is based on a board game of the same name. It is about how a fleet of ships is forced to fight an armada of alien ships. "The film is going to expose a lot of what the Navy does, and no one knows how these ships are fought and how the day-today stuff is," said Kitsch. "I love how we exposed a lot of that. You read about the sacrifice and what it means to wear the uniform, and I think that's what hit me the most. Not just meeting the Sailors and everyone, that's a part of it, but the families, the sacrifices that they make as well. That was probably the biggest one that I took away: how much sacrifice that is." For more information, visit www.navy.mil, www.facebook.com/usnavy, or www.twitter.com/usnavy.
