With Exercise Trident Juncture 2018 coming up this fall, personnel at Allied Joint Force Command Naples have turned their sights to what promises to be one of the largest exercises NATO has ever conducted.

Just how massive will it be?

More than 40,000 participants from all 29 NATO members and partner nations Sweden and Finland, among others, are expected to take part.

Around 120 aircraft, as many as 70 ships and up to 10,000 vehicles are slated to be utilized during the exercise. Contributing nations are firming up numbers in coming months.

German Air Force Lt. Col. Stephan Dirr serves as the officer at JFC Naples with primary responsibility of Trident Juncture 18. With experience

at the national level and previously serving as the primary exercise planner for the European Union, Dirr is no stranger to coordinating and organizing exercises.

“After the Cold War, we forgot a little bit to do this kind of exercise, and as you realize, Trident Juncture 18 is one of the most complex exercises NATO has done really in the last 30 years,” Dirr said.

Event organizers say that air, land, maritime, special operation and amphibious forces will participate in Trident Juncture 18. The major portions of the exercise will take place in Norway and the surrounding areas of the North Atlantic and Baltic Sea. Whether it’s U.S. Marines doing a rehearsal in Iceland before conducting an amphibious landing in Norway or airplay involving Swedish and

Finnish airspace, there’s really something to test everybody in this exercise.

“We have this big ground play,” Dirr said, citing another piece of the Trident Juncture 18 puzzle. “Six brigades fighting each other in the center of Norway … which is on one hand a minute-to-minute scripted thing, on the other hand, you have to be flexible to react if something is going wrong.”

Dirr said planning for an exercise of this scale begins more than two years prior to the start and a challenge is to come up with suggestions for main themes and guidance when most people aren’t as interested at that point or won’t be involved themselves.

Normandy Hosts U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Governor of South Aegean

By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Stephen Oleksiak Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group Public Affairs

The guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60) hosted the U.S. Ambassador to Greece and governor of the South Aegean Region during a reception held aboard, May 24.

During the reception, His Excellency Geoffrey Pyatt, his wife Mary and Mr. Georgios Chatzimarkos, governor of the South Aegean Region, along with other honored guests, vis-

ited with Normandy’s crew and leadership on the flight deck, before receiving a tour of the mighty warship.

Capt. Chris Stone, Normandy’s commanding officer, thanked the ambassador and guests for their continued support of Normandy’s crew and their mission.

“It was a tremendous pleasure to have [all of our guests] onboard to celebrate with us this evening,” Stone said.

“With the beautiful backdrop of the lovely town of

Santorini, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be here.”

Pyatt commented on and thanked the crew for their hospitality. He also remarked upon the great support and cooperation that the alliance between Greece and U.S. has seen across the South Aegean region.

“We also talk about the importance of this alliance and the capabilities and capacities that our Greek allies bring to bear,” Pyatt said. “So, aside from offering [the crew] the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful

island for a couple of days, I’m grateful to the visit because of what it does to reinforce our confidence in our alliance with Greece and the importance that the United States places on Greece as a pillar of stability in a very complicated region.”

Chatzimarkos noted that Normandy’s presence in Santorini sends a very clear message, one that showcases prosperity goes together with safety and security.

Enlisted Force is Military’s Greatest Advantage, Chairman’s Enlisted Advisor Says

By Lisa Ferdinando DoD News

The highest-ranking enlisted leader in the U.S. military lauded the enlisted force as the military’s “greatest competitive advantage.”

Army Command Sgt. Maj. John Wayne Troxell, the senior enlisted advisor to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today kicked off the Defense Department’s “Showcasing Lethality Series,” a weekly media briefing in which enlisted members discuss their roles in defending the nation.

Defense Secretary James N. Mattis outlined in the National Defense Strategy that the U.S. military has to build a “more capable and lethal force,” Troxell explained.

The U.S. military has a warfighting advantage in all domains, he said, adding that the greatest edge comes from the trained, educated and empowered enlisted force.

Empowered, Decisive Enlisted Leaders Troxell said he and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, believe the desired attributes in an enlisted leader include the ability to manage risk and the ability to anticipate, analyze, communicate and mitigate risk.

The nature of conflict will not change, he said, but the character of conflict will change and evolve. Training will transform as well to ENLISTED FORCE

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

The Active Shooter Drill held last week was a successful opportunity for our watch standers and the community as a whole to practice proper procedures in the face of such an emergency. I appreciate the overwhelmingly positive participation by not just our Security and Emergency Management departments, but also by all personnel who cooperated with the lockdown and ran through just what they’d do in this situation. Unfortunately, the scenario practiced has become all too common in our society. Just five months into 2018, there have been more than 140 mass shootings in the United States resulting in over 200 deaths and many more wounded. The military is not isolated from these incidents either. Many of us remember the September 16, 2013, Washington Navy Yard shooting when 12 people were killed and three injured onboard a U.S. Navy installation.

In 2014, MA2 Mark Mayo gave his life protecting the crew of the USS Mahan (DDG 72) when a gunman stormed the brow while the ship was moored, pier-side at Naval Station Norfolk. It is important to note that as we conduct these drills, we are preparing for very real threats that could present themselves at any time. It is for that reason I am extremely proud of how seriously our base community responded during the drill and I ask that we continue that enthusiasm as we conduct further exercises.

I’m also very proud of the continuous support we’re able to provide to the many important missions going on in this region. This past weekend, the NSA Naples Operations team was able to handle a last minute request to support aircraft from the U.S. Army 214th Aviation Regiment out of Wiesbaden, Germany. The crews had been re-directed from their original destination and needed a place to land and refuel.

The fact that we were able to immediately respond to the needs of their mission is what makes NSA Naples such an effective and capable operational platform. Whether it is supporting the staffs who plan missions or the operators who execute them, everything we do here is mission focused. I want all personnel in the community to remember that they have a role in this support no matter what.

Everyone should also remember to stay tuned into the local culture while we’re here in Naples. This weekend plays host to a very important holiday, not just locally, but throughout Italy as well. Tomorrow marks the 72nd anniversary of the birth of the Italian republic. Following the Second World War in 1946, Italian citizens were called to vote on what kind of government the country would adopt.

Over 20 million people took part in the vote which decided that Italy would trade the monarchy for a representative republic. Italians celebrate this decision every year on June 2nd with a large military parade in Rome, and smaller parades in other cities. I always encourage people to learn more about the history and culture of our host nation, especially when it’s something you can go see and take part in.

Doing so will go a long way in helping you truly appreciate your time on an overseas tour.

As always, thanks for reading the Panorama! For more information about NSA Naples, please follow us on Twitter @NSA_Naples and Facebook at facebook.com/NSANaples/ Buon fine settimana – and remain vigilant.

Local Middle School Students Visit JFC Naples

By Diana Sodano

Students and teachers from Don Salvatore Vitale Middle School, located in the Naples district of Lago Patria, got a taste of NATO life during a May 21 visit to Allied Joint Force Command Naples.

Event organizers said the visit of the approximately 80 students and faculty to JFC Naples is an example of NATO’s efforts to establish positive cultural and social exchanges with the external community and to strengthen the relationship with local and regional institutions.

Students were able to get an overview on the history, capabilities and missions of JFC Naples. Current topics, such as the role of the civilians within NATO and cyber security, were also touched on.

"I have been here a couple of times for the social events organized by the NATO

community,” said Giada Vallone, a 13year-old student. "Of course, I have never visited the internal part of Joint Force Command Naples Headquarters. Today, this visit definitely convinced me to follow my dream: to become a police officer to defend my nation against aggression and any form of terrorism."

Italian Army Colonel Giancarlo Turco, Base Support Group commander, welcomed the students, and various briefers answered questions posed by the students during a round table discussion.

"My life’s dream is to become a teacher or to join the High Military School "Nunziatella” in Naples,” said 13-year-old student Lucrezia Di Meo, who said he was interested in the lessons provided on cyber domain

by JFC Naples troops. "I understood how cyber is really important for our safety and security especially when we use Social Media.”

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended.

Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage.

All economy leases negotiated through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water.

Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure your tap water is disconnected from non-permitted wells and connected only to the city water system.

Six Things to Know about Navy COOL From Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs

With spring wrapping up, that means the end of the school year for many happy children.

However, professional and personal improvements never ends.

One program that is not limited to the traditional school schedule is Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL), which provides active duty and reserve Sailors, whether forward deployed, underway or ashore, a way to map their Navy education, training, experience and competencies to civilian credentials and occupations.

Here are six things every Sailor should know about Navy COOL: 1. 1,875 funded credentialing opportunities are available for enlisted personnel, with at least one credential opportunity for every Sailor to earn.

Why this matters to you: You will not be in the Navy forever.

Credentialed service members demonstrate to prospective civilian employers that their skills are on par with their civilian peers. 761 of these credentials may be attainable as soon as Class “A” technical school has been completed. Sailors can take advantage of these credentialing opportunities shortly after their initial training within their first term of service.

2. Navy COOL administers a voucher program that will pay for eligible credentialing exams, re-certification fees and maintenance fees for enlisted personnel.

Now, Navy COOL can also provide credential funding for E-6 and above retiring with 20 years of service. Always contact the Navy’s Credentials Program Office before you start, take, participate in, or otherwise obligate yourself or the government in any Navy-

funded credentialing program or exam.

3. More than 1,500 credentialing opportunities are mapped to officer designators.

Are you in a position that requires mandatory Cyberspace Information Technology/Cybersecurity Workforce (Cyber IT/CSWF) credentials?

You may be eligible for funding.

4. Credentialing is part of a Sailor’s Learning and Development Roadmap (LaDR).

You can find your LaDR on Navy COOL’s website. It is a competency model tool you can use to optimize your Navy career path, with training and education milestones for your rating at each paygrade.

5. Navy COOL also offers Navy Advancement Exam Bibliographies (BIBs) for every rating.

These lists of occupational and professional military knowledge references help guide Sailors in their studies. If you are an advancement candidate, it is critical that you check the bibliography a few times before the exam administration date to see if you are studying the most current information. Navy COOL maintains the most current BIBs versions.

6. Navy COOL has a smart phone app for both Android and iOS. Besides credentialing information, the app also offers BIBs, LaDRs, United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP) trades and rating information cards. The app is particularly useful for recruiters and career counselors, especially when on the go or advising potential recruits and Sailors of professional options available.

For more information on Navy COOL, visit https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn or contact a Navy COOL Representative at navycool@navy.mil or (850) 452-6683.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Everyone Uses Energy From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

People use energy each day for transportation, cooking, heating and cooling rooms, manufacturing, lighting, entertainment, and many other uses. The choices people make about how they use energy affects the environment and everyone’s lives.

Did you know?

The ENERGY STAR® label on appliances and electronic equipment identifies energy-efficient products. With the help of the ENERGY STAR® program, from 1992 to December 2014, families and businesses saved $360 billion on utility bills, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 billion metric tons.

Efficiency and conservation are different but related The terms energy conservation and energy efficiency have two distinct meanings. There are many ways people can use less energy (conservation) and many ways people can use energy more wisely (efficiency).

Energy conservation is any behavior that results in the use of less energy. Turning the lights off when leaving the room and recycling aluminum cans are both ways of conserving energy.

Energy efficiency is the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function. Using a compact fluorescent light bulb that requires less energy rather than using an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light is an example of energy efficiency.

The rebound effect If the demand for energy services remains constant, then improving energy efficiency would reduce energy consumption. But some of the energy efficiency improvements might not reduce energy consumption overall. This offset is called the rebound effect, and can sometimes result in increased energy usage, despite energy efficiency improvements. For example, if you have an older car that has terrible gas mileage, and you buy a newer car with better mileage, but you drive it more because you’re getting better mileage, you can actually end up wasting more gas.

keep up with the challenges, he said.

Enlisted leaders need the tools to be empowered to execute the commander’s intent and act decisively in all situations, Troxell said. “That’s one investment we’ll constantly keep getting after,” he added.

The military must continue to enforce the basics in mission sets to maintain proficiencies and avoid errors and accidents, he said. Those basics, he said, are the foundations that have made the U.S. military the greatest military in the world.

Physically, Mentally, Emotionally Strong Troxell applauded the service members for their commitment to the nation. Enlisted members serve all around the globe in missions to protect the homeland, he pointed out. They are, he said, “absolutely our greatest competitive advantage.”

The military has proven over the last 17 years that it is adaptable and resilient, he said.

He underscored the importance of troops being physically, mentally and emotionally strong. With the brutal and unforgiving nature of high-end conflict, every service member needs to be prepared to fight

and win, he said.

“In the end, I know this for a fact: that every man and woman out there is prepared to do what we need them to do to either assure our allies, deter aggression or fight and win in high-end conflict or against violent extremists,” he stated.

Enlisted Members in Fight Against ISIS When he visited Raqqa, Syria, a few months ago, Troxell said, an Army master sergeant was leading the mission there to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, with Kurdish female brigadier general in the Syrian Democratic

Forces as his counterpart.

The partnership – a “highly trained, highly educated, highly trusted enlisted leader, together with a female brigadier general from the Middle East” – created one of the “most lethal fighting teams to eliminate the scourge we know as ISIS,” he said. Generals from World War I or World War II likely would not have imagined such a partnership, Troxell said.

That story is just one of the countless examples showing the value beyond measure of the enlisted corps, he said, adding, “I think that story has to continue to be told.”

NATO-NORWAY EXERCISE From page 1

test NATO’s ability to plan and conduct a major collective defence operation, which runs the gamut from training troops on the ground to commanding large forces. Planners say it’s the largest in a series of deliberately-planned exercises scheduled over several years to ensure that NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to a threat from any direction.

It’s not just NATO that is being put to the test during Trident Juncture 18.

Norwegian Chief of Defence Admiral Haakon Bruun-Hanssen said not only will the exercise test the country’s ability to receive and handle additional troops and equipment, but it will be an opportunity for its military to test Norway’s Total Defence Concept, which involves military forces and a wide range of civilian departments and authorities.

“If we do well and show that we got what it takes, it will strengthen the credibility of Norwegian defence and NATO cooperation,”

Bruun-Hanssen said in February. “We hope that this exercise will demonstrate the solidarity and strength within NATO, and thus prevent that we will ever need this help in real life.”

Dirr highlighted one aspect that makes Trident Juncture 18 unique in the NATO system.

“It’s not only as we always think about a military exercise, it’s a comprehensive all-dimensions exercise,” Dirr said. “From medical services, firefighters, civilian defence, railroad, everybody is included in this exercise, and this is a lot of coordination, but also, it makes this exercise so special.”

The exercise is comprised of two parts: a live exercise conducted in and around

Norway and a command post exercise conducted mostly in the southern Italy-based headquarters of JFC Naples. The live exercise is scheduled to begin during the last week of October and run through early November. The command post portion of the exercise will take place shortly after.

“My personal hope is at the end of Trident Juncture 18, everybody can say I improved my professional knowledge…I know how to do things under very difficult circumstances, and I was challenged in each area to say I can improve or to realize where I have to improve for the future,” Dirr said.

The Trident Juncture 18 live exercise officially begins October 25 and ends November 7, in and around Norway. Troops and equipment will begin arriving weeks prior, and returning home weeks afterward.

A command post exercise portion of Trident Juncture 18 will take place largely in Naples. It will test and certify JFC Naples as the 2019 NATO Response Force command headquarters, and runs November 14 through 23.

DAILY TOURS

Head Up, Phone Down When Walking, Riding or Driving From the National Safety Council

Summertime offers a nice reprieve from the constant shuffling of papers, carpools and heavy backpacks of the school year.

But once fall rolls around again, parents and kids have a lot to juggle. As your children march out the door on that first day of school – and every day – there is really only one priority: Make sure they get home safely.

According to a study by SafeKids.org, 61 children are hit by cars every day in the United States, most often during the hours before and after school, and peaking in September. And, there has been a noticeable demographic shift. It is now much more likely a teenager will be hit by a car than his younger counterpart.

Of the 484 pedestrians ages 19 and younger who died after being hit by a motor vehicle in 2013, 47 percent were age 15 to 19, according to Injury Facts 2015. We also know that 16,000 pedestrians 19 and younger were injured in 2013. That’s 44 per day.

They Send How Many Texts??

With this knowledge, the National Safety Council is focused on efforts to eliminate distracted walking – specifically walking while texting. According to a study by The Nielsen Company, kids age 13 to 17 send more than 3,400 texts a month. That’s seven messages every hour they are awake. Before your children head out, remind them of these yearround safety tips: ● Never walk while texting or talking on the phone ● If texting, move out of the way of others and stop on the sidewalk ● Never cross the street while using an electronic device ● Do not walk with headphones on ● Be aware of the surroundings ● Always walk on the sidewalk if one is available; if a child must walk on the street, he or she should face oncoming traffic ● Look left, right, then left again before crossing the street ● Cross only at crosswalks
