NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
BATTLE OF MIDWAY: The Turning Point By Tracey Gold Bennett, Naval District Washington Public Affairs "Rock 'em and sock 'em and don't lose your shirt," is how Naval District Washington Historic and Heritage Command historian Robert Cressman characterizes tactics of service-members who fought and defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Midway June 4-7 1942. The United States military obliterated Japan's naval strength during what would be touted one of the most decisive battles in naval warfare history. But what were the key elements that led to the historic success at Midway? "Intelligence, competent commanders, the decision to take a risk and the willingness to give subordinates the freedom to fight," said Cressman. Prior to the Battle of Midway, Japan had been successful in the spread of imperialism capturing territory throughout Asia and the Pacific. The Battle of Midway was the turning point shifting momentum to the United States. Midway, a naval base and refueling stop for trans-Pacific flights located in the North Pacific Ocean, about one-third of the way from Honolulu toTokyo, was a significant strategic target. "If the Japanese
could capture Midway then they could attack Hawaii anytime," Cressman said. The Japanese planned to capture Midway to lure the U.S. carriers that had roamed unimpeded between February and April, into decisive battle and destroy them. The object was to destroy what the Japanese considered its most dangerous element, its carriers. But the Americans were waiting. They had gotten wind of the plan, thanks to cryptologists who broke the Japanese code. "We were at a disadvantage because they had more carriers than us but we found them before they found us," said Retired Navy Capt. John W. Crawford who received the deciphered message from cryptologists while onboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. The message revealed the bearings and location of the Japanese fleet. "It was miraculous. Our intelligence solved the problem and predicted time of arrival and distance of the Japanese fleet," Crawford said. "I was astonished." Retired Marine Corps Maj. Albert Grasselli, a Pearl Harbor survivor was a member of Marine Air Group 21 (stationed at Ewa Marine Air apU.S. Navy photo proximately 15 miles west of Pearl Ensign George Gay (right), sole survivor of VT-8 at Midway, standing beside his TBD DevasHarbor) during the Battle of Midway.

Staten Island Pearl Harbor Survivor Visits Fleet Week By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Patrick Gordon, Fleet Week New York 2012 Public Affairs The last known Staten Island resident survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack visited Fleet Week New York 2012 at the The Sullivans Pier, May 27. Former Chief Boatswain's Mate Alf Kongslie and three generations of his family visited Fleet Week and were treated to a tour of the pier and USS San Jacinto (CG-56) as a small token of their gratitude for
his service. Seventy-one years ago, Kongslie was a crewmember aboard USS Saint Louis (CL-49) in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On the morning of December 7, 1941, Kongslie thought his Sunday routine began like any other. "I saw guys going across the harbor in a liberty boat," Kongslie, 91, said. "I figured they were going to church.Then I saw them jumping off into the water. I didn't know what was going on."

Technology bridges past and future at Pax By Doug Abbotts NAWCAD Public Affairs Anti-aircraft fire whizzes past Lt. Jack “Deadeye” Gunner as he banks his fighter hard to the left. He looks down and fires at the enemy combatants, then turns his focus ahead as several Fire Scout unmanned aircraft swoop in to assist. Suddenly, Gunner's aircraft shudders under the impact of hostile fire. As his fiery aircraft spins out of control, he deploys his ejection seat and parachutes safely to the ground. Gunner lands, thankful for the gear and systems that kept him alive. Just as fictional pilot Gunner depended on life-saving technology, real U.S. military members use technical advancements created by researchers every day.
Innovation that develops lifesaving technology is alive and well at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Human Systems Department (HSD), home to 26 different laboratories, harvests this spirit of innovation every day through its research, development and forward thinking. Technologies and capabilities developed in the HSD laboratories ensure the safety, survivability and highest levels of human performance within the fleet through innovative designs both in the labs and through partnerships with industry. The department held an open house on April 25 to showcase its resources, expertise, ongoing work and future capabilities development efforts.Visitors embarked on self-led tours through the various laboratories while team members gave pre-
sentations and demonstrated the department's capabilities. "This open house was just what program team members needed to connect with our folks in the HSD Labs. From flight suit design to cockpit ergonomics, the HSD is dedicated to keeping aircrews at the top of their game," said NAWCAD Commander Rear Adm. Randy Mahr. The HSD pursues technological advances on existing equipment to better suit the needs of customers. For instance, the Textile Technology Analysis Lab performs instrumentdriven tests to evaluate the fire-resistance of military garments and prototypes. Data gathered from these tests results in modifications made to improve garment quality, protecting wearers such as the fictional Gunner should he be exposed to flames. Labs such as those in the Crash-

JBAB's link to the past By Senior Airman Susan L. Davis Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Public Affairs What does excavating prehistoric artifacts have to do with military installations in the National Capital Region? Katherine Klepper, a natural resource specialist based at theWashington NavyYard, can answer that. It doesn't readily occur to most people, but what is known today as Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) and Bellevue Housing was once home to ancient peoples as long ago as 7500 B.C.-and there's evidence to prove it. Items from two different periods in history have been uncovered on JBAB and in Bellevue Housing, illustrating how far back in time people have been settled in the area. "Arrowheads and most recently, pottery fragments have been found dating back to the Archaic Period, 7500-1100 B.C., and the Woodland Period, 1100 B.C. to about 1608 A.D.," said Klepper, whose background is in urban and environmental planning and historic preservation. Exactly what groups of people these artifacts may have belonged to is unclear, said Julie Darsie, regional cultural resource, also at the Washington Navy Yard. She called the pottery fragments, "probably the most significant find in the area to date," especially because, with no lugs and a nearly-flat base, the 16inch-wide, 12-inch-deep pot was able to be almost entirely reconstructed with the pieces recovered from the site. "It makes sense that people would have settled here as far back as prehistoric times because of the proximity to the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers," said Klepper. "Many ancient peoples settled near bodies of water, usually using the land nearby to grow food and raise animals."

Fleet Forces Launches Breathalyzer Beta Test From U.S. Fleet Forces Public Affairs U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) launched a beta test May 23, to obtain Fleet feedback that will help determine the most effective approach for implementation of a Navy-wide alcohol breathalyzer program. The 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, announced by the Secretary of the Navy in March, outlined the Navy-wide breathalyzer program as a way to increase Fleet alcohol education and awareness and to provide commanders with another tool to ensure the health and safety of Sailors by identifying potential alcohol abuse. USFF has selected 13 sea and shore commands to participate in the beta test, which runs from May 24 through Sept. 30. All data collected will be consolidated under a summary recommendation and forwarded to the office of the Navy's Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) to be considered for implementation into the final policy. "This beta test will be used to identify, develop and make recommendations on specific processes, procedures, and policies to effectively implement the use of alcohol breathalyzers in the Navy," said USFF Fleet Master Chief Mike Stevens, who's working in coordination with USFF's Breathalyzer ImplementationTeam on the beta test. "By obtaining feedback from the Fleet, we're ensuring the final policy will be fully executable
and will serve as a tool that benefits individual organizations and Sailors." USFF's breathalyzer implementation team met with the leadership of all 13 commands involved in the beta test today to issue equipment, provide training and issue specific guidance. Participating commands will provide detailed feedback to the implementation team throughout the test. Under the Navy program, the breathalyzer will be used primarily as an education and prevention tool. Breathalyzer results alone will not be used as the sole evidentiary basis for punitive or adverse administrative action. Participating commands include, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77); USS Kearsarge (LHD 3); USS Montpelier (SSN 765); USNS Apache (T-ATF-172); Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 2; Assault Craft Unit (ACU) 4; the staff of Commander, Submarine Forces Atlantic; Navy Expeditionary Intelligence Command, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training and Evaluation Unit (EODTEU) 2; Navy Information Operations Command, Norfolk; Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic; Navy Operational Support Center, Norfolk; and the USFF staff.

PAST Continued from 3 The pottery shards were found in an active construction site on JBAB about 300 feet from the Potomac River. Artifacts that are unearthed go to the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab), a state-of-the-art archaeological research, conservation, and curation facility located at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, the State Museum of Archaeology, in southern Maryland. The MAC
Lab is a clearinghouse for archaeological collections recovered from land-based and underwater projects conducted by State and Federal agencies throughout Maryland. Artifacts may be stored or used in exhibits or studies. "This is one of my favorite things about my job-when we find something unexpected and interesting," said Darsie. "When we make a find like this, it's something the whole field of archaeology gets excited about." Klepper agreed. "In this way, the military is in a unique position to preserve prehistoric artifacts like this for future generations."

This year, the seven-day event coincides with the commemoration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, with more than 6,000 service-members from the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard sea services in addition to coalition ships from around the world. From Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs Six U.S. Navy ships, three U.S. Coast Guard cutters and 12 coalition ships from around the world sailed into New York harbor to commence FleetWeek NewYork 2012, May 23. Approximately 6,000 Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen descended upon the city to celebrate the 25th Fleet Week New York, taking place May 23-30. This year the sea services join together to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812. FleetWeek has been NewYork City's celebration of the sea services since 1984. It is an unparalleled opportunity for citizens of New York and the surrounding area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, firsthand, the latest capabilities of today's maritime services. "I'm glad to be here with the Wasp to commemorate the War of 1812 and to get to be home and see my family since I haven't seen them in quite some time," said Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class Angel Garcia, from Bronx, N.Y. and currently stationed aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1).

Galula in Algeria Reviewed by CDR Youssef Aboul-Enein, MSC, USN
Galula in Algeria: CounterInsurgencyPracticeversusTheory by Gregor Mathias. Translated by Neal Durando and Foreword by David Ucko. PublishedbyPraegerPress,Boulder, Colorado. 137 pages, 2011. As Algeria observes the 60th anniversary of its independence from French colonial rule this maybe a good time to reflect on the impact this conflict has had in the 21st century. Operation Iraqi FreedomhasledAmerica’smilitary planners to rediscover what went wrong and what went right with the tactics of the FrenchinAlgeria.Frencharmy officerDavidGalulaacquireda 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-insurgencyanddesignedtoeducate 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,andhespecializesin the AlgerianWar. 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 volumedistillingthemainlessons
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. An effective tool was the Section Administrative Specialee (SAS); these were militaryteamslivinginAlgeria’svillages constructing schools, roads and medical services. TheSASpresencesounnerved the Armée de libération nationale (ALN) the military arm of the Algerian independence movement that SAS officers were directly targeted.

strates the importance of not isolating a population, and Galula has much to say about the harkis, Muslim and Algeria troops serving alongside Frenchforceswhounderstood the terrain 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,” andyoumaywishtowatchthe 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,andstrategicview 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.

D.C. Mustangs Hold Commissioning Information Roundup By Defense Media Activity Pentagon Bureau Enlisted Sailors from around the Washington, D.C., area attended a commissioning programs job fair hosted by the National Capitol Region Mustang Association on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, May 23. The goal of the job fair was to give enlisted Sailors information about the different paths available toward becoming a commissioned officer. "We sometimes find it surprising on this side how little information there is out there available to Sailors," said Lt. Cmdr. John Popham, flag secretary to the Chief of Naval Operations. "It's amazing how many Sailors don't know what opportunities are available to them, and as a result, we miss out on a lot of great candidates every year." During the hour-long presentation, Sailors learned about options like the Seaman-to-Admiral (STA-21) program, the Limited Duty Officer program, and the Chief Warrant Officer program. Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Carlos Poveda from Naval Air FacilityWashington, D.C., was at the job fair, and he said he was interested in some of the options available in the medical field. "I do plan on applying for the STA-21 program - specifically the Medical Corps option, because I want to become a doctor," said Poveda. "I'm also interested in

Grasselli was one of the first designated aerial navigators in Marine aviation history. "During the main battle I flew ammo from Pearl Harbor to Midway," he said. "We shot a couple of ships and airplanes but we also got hit badly." Grasselli navigated 24 planes safely into Midway where he witnessed the devastation. "The Marines on Midway and American carriers got hit.We lost 80 percent of our pilots in air to air combat." Because of the significant American losses, Grasselli didn't know right away that the U.S. had been successful in quashing the Japanese ambush plan at Midway. "I guess I knew when what was left of the Japanese Fleet started sailing away," said Grasselli. The bravery of the U.S. service members cost Japan four irreplaceable fleet carriers, while only one of the three U.S. carriers present was lost. The base at Midway, though damaged by Japanese air attack, remained operational and later became a vital component in the American trans-Pacific offensive. The Battle of Midway put an end to large scale Japanese expansion in the Pacific.
the [Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program] to become a physician assistant." Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 1st Class Russell Huff from OPNAV N98, presented the Officer Candidate School (OCS) portion of the brief. Huff is in a good position to give his shipmates advice on enlisted-to-officer programs because in July he'll be heading off to OCS himself. Huff started taking undergraduate classes through Navy College in 2007, and he just completed his Master's Degree this month. "I joined [the Navy] when I was 18 with no college at all," Huff said. "I want to give my timeline of how long it took me. [I want] to help other people focus, especially the junior Sailors. [I want] to tell them that it is possible to not have any college, start from scratch, and end up becoming a commissioned officer." A "Mustang" is an officer who has come "up from the ranks" to earn a commission.Whether or not the Sailors in the audience decide to follow in Huff's footsteps, today's presentation showed them that no matter how far along they are in their education, there are several paths open for them to become a Navy Mustang.

Naval Shipyard Combat Fire Aboard Submarine From Submarine Group 2 Statement from Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, Commander, of Submarine Group 2 in Groton, Connecticut: Late May 23, USS Miami experienced a fire in the submarine's forward compartment. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Fire Department and Ship's force, along with mutual assistance from several other area fire departments, immediately responded and successfully extinguished the fire on USS Miami. I repeat, the fire is out. The fire and subsequent damage was limited to the forward compart-
ment spaces only which includes crew living and command and control spaces. The nuclear propulsion spaces were physically isolated from the Forward Compartment early during initial response. The ship's reactor has been shut down for over two months and remained in a safe and stable condition throughout the event. The propulsion spaces remained habitable and were continuously manned through the night. There were no weapons on board in the torpedo room. The fire spread to spaces within the submarine that were difficult to access. The heat and smoke contained in
these confined spaces made it challenging for fire-fighters to combat the blaze. I want to emphasize that the heroic actions of the firefighting teams averted what could have been a much more severe situation. As a result of their quick and effective response, the fire was contained and brought under control. We greatly appreciate the strong support received from our state and local partners who assisted us throughout this event. All of USS Miami's crew and the personnel supporting work and recovery efforts on the submarine are accounted for.
Seven people were injured during the fire-fighting response. However, their injuries were minor in nature. The injured personnel included three Portsmouth Naval Shipyard firefighters; two ships force crew members; and two civilian firefighters providing support. These personnel were either treated on-scene or transported to a local medical facility for further treatment and all have been released. So all injured personnel have been released and are in good shape. There were no casualties in this fire. Again, the response of the shipyard and the community firefighters has been exceptional. Their efforts
clearly minimized the severity of the event. They immediately took actions to stabilize the situation, protect the public, and limit the impact to the environment. So we are now moving forward with recovery actions. The shipyard remains open for normal business and the workforce will report to work as scheduled. A full investigation has begun to determine the cause of the fire.We will continue to provide updates later today as more information becomes available.

New CSADD Chapter at CSS Navy Detachment, Fort Meade By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Ashley N. Hedrick, Center for Service Support Public Affairs The Center for Service Support (CSS) Defense Information School (DINFOS) Navy Detachment announced May 29 the learning site is now an official chapter of the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD). CSADD is a Navy-wide program whose primary purpose is "ship-
mates helping shipmates," targeting Sailors between the ages of 18 and 25 to promote better decisionmaking among young Sailors. "CSADD is a peer-led group designed to give junior Sailors the opportunity to go out and do things other than drinking," said Lt. j.g. Adam Hesch, the officer in charge, CSS Navy Detachment. "It is all about fostering a healthy and positive lifestyle for junior Sailors." Chief Mass Communication Specialist (SW/AW) Gregory Currie,
the chapter's president and senior enlisted advisor for the detachment, said the program directly supports the Navy's 21st Century Sailor initiative and benefits Sailors at the start of their careers. "The Sailors here are at the beginning of their careers, and I want to get them on the right track," said Currie. "This program is about Sailors taking positive actions and influencing other Sailors. These Sailors want to make sure people are not only taken care of, but take
care of themselves." CSADD utilizes meetings among peers about issues that young Sailors face. It is a time where the Sailors can discuss about the negative influences they may face, such as alcohol. "We plan events where alcohol isn't involved, and show students here that you can have fun and create a positive change without alcohol," said Seaman Emily Boger, a student at DINFOS and vice president of the CSADD chapter at the Navy detachment. "We focus on a
HARBOR Continued from 1 What happened was the Japanese attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet that would pull the United States in to World War II. During the confusion of the attack, he did his best to remain calm and perform his duties during the emergency. "I kept trying to climb my way up ladders to get to my battle station, but guys kept knocking me off coming down the other way," he said. "I finally got to my station and got to work." After the attack, Kongslie continued serving in the Navy until 1947. "We were honored to have Mr. Kongslie and his family here today," said Navy Lt. Jared Jalbert, Fleet Week Staten Island officer in charge. "It was a great experience to show our appreciation to such a distinguished veteran." Cmdr. Rick Potter, executive officer of San Jacinto, met Kongslie and his family to personally present the World War II veteran a San Jacinto command ball cap and challenge coin before bonging him aboard the ship. "I never thought I'd ever see a boatswain chief bonged aboard a ship ," Kongslie said with tears in his eyes. During the ship's tour, crewmembers and civilians alike constantly approached Kongslie to shake his hand and thank him. "It's a real honor to meet you, sir," said Fire Controlman 2nd Class (AW) Jennifer Thomas. "I just wanted to say thank you for your service." "I'm thankful for yours," Kongslie humbly replied before adding with a grin, "Where were gals like you in the fleet 70 years ago?" Kongslie, who has spoken to students about his experiences as a Pearl Harbor survivor for years, maintains that his efforts are not extraordinary.

number of subjects that impact students here in our chapter." "We encourage our students to grow any way we can," said Hesch. "We encourage people to participate in this and other positive activities. I know that when somebody goes out with my CSADD student leaders, they are going to be taken care of and get back here safely." For more information, visit www.21stcentury.navy.mil, www. navy.mil, www.facebook.com/usn avy, or www.twitter.com/usnavy.
"I consider myself an ambassador to all Pearl Harbor survivors to make sure no one ever forgets," Kongslie said. "When we talk to the schools, we tell them we're not heroes. We're there for the heroes." Kongslie said that he was so happy he was able to come out to Fleet Week and meet those who continue to serve after him. "I'm very proud of today's service members," he said. "And they should be proud, too. They have never had more to be proud about than being a service member today." As Kongslie was escorted down the gangplank by San Jacinto Sailors, a crowd of about 25 people gathered at the foot of the stairs. As one last honor before he left the pier, the visitors to Fleet Week Staten Island saluted Kongslie's visit and service with a round of applause. Held nearly every year since 1984, Fleet Week NewYork is the city's celebration of sea services. Fleet Week New York provides an opportunity for the citizens of NewYork City and the surrounding tri-state area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as see, first-hand, the latest capabilities of today's maritime services. More than 6,000 service men and women from the U.S. and coalition nations are participating. This year, Fleet Week New York is one of the signature events around the country commemorating OpSail 2012, the bicentennial of theWar of 1812, and the Star-Spangled Banner. The Commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 is a salute to all Sailors and Marines who fought gallantly in that conflict, who served in all our nation's conflicts since then, and who are defending freedom around the world.
