The United States and the Taliban have agreed to a proposal for a reduction in violence in Afghanistan, and the Defense Department is working with allies on the path forward, Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper said. “The best, if not only solution forward is a political agreement,” Esper said following his meeting with NATO defense ministers in Brussels today. “We have the basis for one on the table, and we are taking a hard look at it. We are consulting with our allies. TALIBAN

Greetings from USS Mount Whitney, flagship of the U.S. Sixth Fleet, underway in the Mediterranean Sea! Seventy years ago, on Feb. 12, 1950, the Navy formally established Sixth Fleet, building on the storied legacy of U.S. Navy ships that have sailed on the Mediterranean Sea since the early nineteenth century. From 1801, with the dispatch of USS Constitution and her sister ships to defeat the Barbary pirates, through today, American sea power has operated throughout this strategic region, which in ancient times was viewed as the center of the world. While standing on the bridge wing looking out at the busy waters of the Med, I took a moment to reflect on the strategic environment that led the Navy to establish Sixth Fleet seventy years ago, especially in context of Great Power competition we see today. Sixth Fleet’s Command History report from 1950-1958 gives us a window into the thought process at the time: “As the war ended and the U.S. sought peace treaties and rapid disarmament, it became increasingly apparent in the Mediterranean, as elsewhere, that Russia, our wartime ally, was to become the main threat to our security and order in the world.” Although the Navy had hoped to draw down its presence at the end of World War II, our leaders quickly saw the need to keep a maritime force in these waters to protect U.S. interests, support U.S. policies, and serve as a strong southern flank to NATO forces in in Western Europe. 6TH FLEET Page 11

CAPTAIN’S CORNER By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

There was a great turnout at the Town Hall this past Wednesday! The Winter Town Hall was a fantastic opportunity for area leadership to communicate directly with the community. Admiral Foggo was there to kick-off the event and discuss what’s happening in our area of operations. He was followed by the DoDEA principals, who discussed the hot topics for the school. Captain Knitting and I discussed the Coronavirus in regard to prevention and preparation, and I was then able to address the big-ticket items coming up such as base improvements, updates to Carney Park, and more.

Adm. James Foggo, commander of Allied Joint Force Command (JFC) Naples and U.S. Naval Forces Europe/Africa, has been awarded the title of Commendatore (Commander) of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in a ceremony held at JFC Naples’ Headquarters, Feb. 17, 2020. It was presented by Lieutenant General Roberto Corsini, counselor to the President of the Italian Republic for Military Affairs. The Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (OMRI) is a prestigious mark of recognition by the Italian Republic and was conferred on Foggo on behalf of the President of the Italian Republic, His Excellency Sergio Mattarella, who is the head of the order which is based in Rome and has a chancellor and 16 members. “This award is particularly meaningful to me since I have such a deep connection with Italy,” said Foggo after the ceremony. “My father’s first cousin, Captain James Anderson, gave his life in 1944 near Gradara, Italy after more than a year in the Mediterranean theatre of war. His blood was spilled on

Italian soil, a powerful reminder of how connected we are and our long history of fighting together to ensure freedom.” “My time in Italy has been incredibly rewarding, not only because of the warmth of the Italian people, the beauty of Napoli, and the world’s best pizza – it has been defined by the incredible men and women here, at JFC Naples,” Foggo said. “This award belongs to all of you. Your hard work and tireless pursuit of excellence have truly enabled us to achieve greatness,” concluded Foggo. “Commendatore” is one of the honorary titles of the Orders of Merit. The award is granted to those who are found to deserve the gratitude of the republic for their exceptional contribution to the integration and engagement of their organization with the civic, cultural and professional life of Italy. Foggo has been deemed by the order to have demonstrated outstanding sensitivity, generosity and commitment to the Italian Republic and its people. Lieutenant General Luciano Portolano, commander of the Joint Force Operational Command (COI) and former JFC Naples’ Chief of Staff also attended the ceremony.

HISTORY: IWO JIMA DECLARED SECURE By Gary Nichols NSA Naples Public Affairs

Iwo Jima. It is a speck of an island, only two miles wide and four miles long; a lonely, desolate place located far out in the Western Pacific. It was virtually unknown until the spring of 1945 when it became the most important eight square miles of real estate on the planet for 70,000 Marines who sacrificed everything to capture Iwo Jima from the Japanese, who were ready to fight to the last man to defend the island. Iwo Jima was used by the Japanese as a lookout station and fighter base, where they could transmit intelligence about incoming American bombers to the Japanese homeland, and where Japanese fighters could intercept and attack those bombers. It was in a strategically perfect location: 660 miles south of Tokyo, Japan’s capital, which translated into two flying hours from the Japanese homeland. Plus, it was halfway between Japan and the Mariana Islands, where the American longrange B-29 bombers were based. These factors made it absolutely crucial that Iwo Jima had to be captured by the Americans, and defended by the Japanese. The Japanese knew Iwo Jima would be attacked. But more importantly, it would become the first Japanese homeland soil to be directly attacked, and possibly captured by the Americans, and it was a matter of honor for the Japanese to prevent Iwo Jima from falling at any cost. Under the command of Lt. Gen. Tadamichi Kuribayashi, Japan’s most capable mining engineers turned Iwo Jima into what they thought was an impregnable fortress. It was a monumental project. Over the course of several months, laborers blasted out 16 miles of tunnels, connecting 1,500 rooms. The engineers built underground hospitals and supply rooms under hundreds of feet of solid impenetrable rock. These were linked to more than a thousand fortified artillery and anti-aircraft batteries, along with machine-gun and mortar bunkers. During the winter of 1944, the Army Air Corps and Navy

16-inch guns pounded Iwo Jima in the longest sustained aerial offensive of the war; but the effect on the newly-built underground island fortress was insignificant. The Japanese strategy was more than just fight to the death, but to kill 10 Americans before he was killed. On Feb. 19, 1945, approximately 70,000 Marines launched their attack of Iwo Jima against 18,000 firmlyentrenched Japanese soldiers. From hundreds of fortifications, many atop the island’s high point, the fortress-like 550-foot high Mount Suribachi, Japanese troops poured withering fire from rockets, artillery, mortar and automatic weapons on the Marines. The soft sand prevented the Marines from digging fox holes for protection, yet with casualties piling up, the determined Marines grimly advanced, yard-by-yard. Four days later, Mount Suribachi was captured. It took a month of exceptionally heavy fighting for the island to be completely taken. Within days of the invasion, a chance photograph of a group of Marines raising a large flag to celebrate the capture of Mount Suribachi was taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal. The next morning that photo was on the front page of newspapers around the world: The sacrifices being made by the Marines and the fight for Iwo Jima instantly became world famous. “In that moment, Rosenthal’s camera recorded the soul of a nation,” US Camera magazine reported. But it did more than that, after three years of war, public support was beginning to wear down, and Rosenthal’s photo provided much needed support when the military needed it the most. The losses from that campaign were staggering: In 36 days of fighting on the island, nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines were killed. Another 20,000 were wounded. Marines captured 216 Japanese soldiers; the rest were killed in action. More Marines were awarded the Medal of Honor – 27 seven in all, for action at Iwo Jima – than any other

battle in U.S. history. The island was finally declared secured on March 16, 1945. But, it had also become one of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history. After the battle, Iwo Jima served as an emergency

landing site for more than 2,200 American B-29 bombers, resulting in saving the lives of 24,000 U.S. airmen. Securing Iwo Jima also prepared the way for the last and largest battle in the Pacific: The invasion of

Okinawa, and ultimately, the defeat of the Japanese empire. “Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue,” said Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz.

By David Vergun

In Europe, there is a focus on the threat from Russia. However, there is also a threat from China, the Pentagon’s number one concern, said Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper. “America’s concerns about Beijing’s commercial and military expansion should be [Europe’s] concerns as well,” Esper said, during his remarks at the Munich Security Conference in Germany today. The Communist Party and its associated organizations, including the People’s Liberation Army, are increasingly operating in theaters outside its borders, including Europe, and seeking advantage by any means, and at any cost, he said. China is currently applying econmic and political pressure publicly and privately on many Indo-Pacific region and European nations, to seek new strategic relationships, he said. The Belt and Road Initiative is one such example where it uses overseas investments to force other nations into making suboptimal security decisions, the secretary noted. This has wide-ranging implications for the U.S. and allies in areas such as data security and military interoperability. Another example is China’s telecommunication firm Huawei, which has developed and is exporting 5G networks ”that could render our partners’ critical systems vulnerable to disruption, manipulation and espionage,” Esper said. “To counter this, we are encouraging allied and U.S. tech companies to develop alternative 5G solutions, and we are working alongside them to test these technologies at our military bases as we speak,” the secretary said. “In the long run, developing our own secure 5G networks will far outweigh any perceived gains from partnering with heavily subsidized Chinese providers that ultimately answer to party leadership” he continued. Esper said China’s President Xi Jinping is leading his nation even faster in the wrong direction: more internal repression, more predatory economic practices, more heavy-handedness and a more aggressive military posture. The international community needs to be aware of the challenges presented by China’s manipulation of the longstanding international rules-based order that has benefited the world for many decades, he said. Beijing said that by 2035, it intends to complete its military modernization and by 2049, it intends to dominate Asia as the preeminent global military power, Esper said. Over time, the Chinese have seized and militarized islands in the South China Sea, rapidly modernized its armed forces, while seeking to use emerging technology to alter world power in its favor, he said. Pary leadership continues its rampant technology theft, while resolving to eventually end its reliance on foreign innovation altogether, then independently develop its own systems, in an effort to dominate critical sectors and markets, he said.

Beijing is using artificial intelligence and other technologies to surveil and to repress many of its own people. Also, China is exporting those technologies to other authoritarian regimes, the secretary said. For its part, DOD is investing in cutting edge technology to modernize its force and building stronger relationships with allies and partners. Examples, he said, are hypersonics, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence. The goal of developing these weapons is to protect the sovereignty of all freedom-loving countries. While China is weaponizing the space domain through the development of directed-energy weapons and killer satellites, the Pentagon is standing up its first new military service in over 70 years — the U.S. Space Force — to ensure freedom of use, commerce and navigation in, to, and through space, for all, Esper said. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s admission into the World Trade Organization, “a decision that fundamentally altered the course of international affairs,” he said. The thinking at the time was that China’s admission into the WTO and other multilateral institutions would result in China’s continued path to economic reform and eventually become a responsible global and political stakeholder, and possibly an eventual democracy, he mentioned. Skeptics, however, warned that China would reap the benefits of free trade to acquire technologies to build a strong military and security state capable of expanding the reach of its authoritarian rule, he said. “These are both credible arguments but we all know which one is winning right now,” he said. Having said that, the U.S. doesn’t seek conflict with China, he said. “In fact, we look for areas of cooperation where our interests converge.” For example, Esper said the U.S. delivered 18 tons of medical supplies to China and provided other assistance to help fight COVID19, the coronavirus. “The world is too interconnected for us not to work together to solve some of our toughest problems.” The world is increasingly becoming aware of China’s motives and is responding in turn, he said. To be a responsible partner in the international community, China must be transparent and respect the sovereignty, freedom and rights of all nations, he said.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Fuel Conservation From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

With weather finally starting to get warmer and spring break just around the corner, many of us want to leave our snug homes and go exploring. Before take a road trip tour we should review fuel conservation. The first question to ask, is, why is fuel conservation important? One reason is because not all fuels are renewable. This means we should use them as sparingly as possible and find alternative sources of energy because once these resources are depleted we will not be able to obtain them again. There are several technological advances being utilized today in an effort to conserve fuel. In addition to having a limited supply, some fuels are harmful to the environment. Fuel cells produce electrical power without any combustion and operate on fuels like hydrogen, natural gas and propane. They are a clean alternative to gasoline-powered generators. Fuel Saving Tips ● Drive smoothly. Slowing down gradually, rather than jamming on the brakes, then accelerating slowly can save you as much as two miles per gallon. ● When driving on the highway, use your cruise control to maintain a steady speed. ● Remove unnecessary heavy items from your car. Every 100 pounds extra costs you about half a mile per gallon. ● Ride a bike – or walk – to work, to the local neighborhood store or to a nearby friend’s home. Total vehicle emissions are reduced to zero. ● Don’t start your car until you’re ready to move; idling engines waste gas. If you are idling for more than one minute turn the engine off. ● You can improve your gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent by using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. Remember: You can use as much energy as you need just don’t waste it! For more tips on Energy Conservation call Gennaro Gargiulo or Electrician 2nd Class Patrick R. Thomas at DSN 626-1895 or Comm. 081568-1865.

This is even more important for those military members forward deployed overseas. “The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) was contacted by leadership from commands based at Camp Lemonnier requesting merchandise support for military troops downrange,” said Dan Cougevan, General Manager, NEX Bahrain. “These forward deployed service members have no access to a NEX and their needs weren’t being met from ordering online from other retailers. We were excited to be able to extend our NEX benefit to these military members and provide them with great products and our PREMIER customer service.” NEX Djibouti, working with NEX Bahrain, created the

Downrange Program for those active duty military stationed at Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in Africa. The program allows military members to submit an order and pay for merchandise via a secure encrypted email. Once NEX Djibouti receives the order, it fills and ships it the same day at no charge to the customer. Customers typically receive their orders within 3 – 5 days. Customers can purchase over 200 items from the NEX that include snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and select electronics as well as male and female personal hygiene and health and comfort items. Another benefit the NEX offers is that customers can order a single item vs case pack that are often required from other retailers. NEX Djibouti tested several shipments of merchandise to see what shipped well and what could be prone to the heat and humidity and tailored the list accordingly. For example, it was determined

that chocolate could not be shipped during the summer months. “Team Djibouti is proud to launch this first-ever type program,” said Mary Esquival, Branch Exchange Manager, NEX Djibouti. “We derive great satisfaction knowing that we bring the NEX to military members who cannot come to us. They are excited about the program as well and have told us how much they appreciate what everyone has done to make it a success.” NEX Jebel Ali, Dubai, recently created its own Downrange Program to support military personnel stationed several hours away from the store. To ensure that military members remember the Downrange Program, Clyde McCune, Branch Exchange Manager, NEX Jebel Ali, emails a new form with updated merchandise and pricing information each month to those military members who would benefit from the service. NEXCOM hopes to further expand the Downrange Pro-

gram to other FOBs in the Middle East and Africa. The Navy Exchange Service Command is one of 11commands under Commander, NAVSUP. NEXCOM oversees six business lines that include Navy Exchange (NEX) stores, Navy Lodges, the Ships Store Program, the Uniform Program Management Office, the Navy Clothing and Textile Research

Facility and the Telecommunications Program Office. NEXCOM's mission is to provide authorized customers quality goods and services at a savings and to support Navy quality of life programs for active duty military, retirees, reservists and their families. Since 1946, NEXCOM has given $3.6 billion to support Navy MWR quality of life programs.

“We experienced rapid changes in environmental conditions in which the ice melted. We adapted and seized the opportunity to develop the divers and diving supervisors as proficient cold-water ice diving and ice diving supervisors.” Following set-up of equipment, the team quickly got to work. The U.S. side of camp consisted of two shelters and a transportable recompression chamber system (TRCS). The

dives conducted covered emergency procedures, supervisor drills, lost diver drills, rescue drills, locating an emergency exit hole, performing emergency regulator failure procedures, evacuation of an unconscious or injured diver, and proper use of TRCS. Operations like these provide useful knowledge for the divers’ future application of practices. “This type of work is very dangerous and there are many risks involved,” said Senior Chief Navy Diver Matt Medeiros, a U.S. Navy diver

assigned to the Spanish dive school. “The techniques that we use are very important to learn in order to avoid an emergency or injury to a diver.” These dive engagements have the ability to set the tone for future exchanges. By strengthening partnerships and interoperability, they demonstrate opportunity for further teamwork. Between the U.S. Navy and Spanish navy, more than 30 dives were conducted successfully and safely during the exercise. “Our countries can learn much together,” said Medeiros. “It’s an honor to work with the divers in Spain and also it’s an honor to help the Americans and our service members in order to dive, teach and learn.” CTF 68 provides explosive ordnance disposal operations, naval construction, expeditionary security, and theater security efforts in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility. U.S. 6th Fleet, A in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with Allied and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

TALIBAN

We are consulting with Congress and others. And I think peace deserves a chance.” At a news conference today, Esper said a positive outcome will require that all parties comply with obligations. “For the United States, the key thing will be continued support to our Afghan partners, and it will need to be a conditions-based approach to all of this,” he added. NATO has agreed in principle to expand its role in the Middle East, the secretary said. “We have also asked NATO’s military leaders to consider what more the alliance could do to assist the Iraqi security forces,” he told reporters. “Looking beyond Iraq, I welcome follow-on discussions on how to broaden NATO’s role in the Middle East to defend the international rules-based order, to include deploying air defenses and other capabilities that would deter aggression and reassure partners.” In addition to discussing operations in the Middle East, Esper said he also emphasized to NATO defense ministers the importance of burden-sharing within the alliance, including the commitment of member nations to invest 2% of gross domestic product toward defense. That commitment will bolster progress already made, he said. Between 2016 and 2020, NATO allies increased their investments by some $130 billion. Esper said the ministers also discussed the NATO Readiness Initiative, which he said is critical to a culture of readiness within the alliance, and he called for routine tests of that

initiative to evaluate readiness. The “Four Thirties by 2020” pledge, part of that initiative, he said, “is just the start of our work.” The pledge was for NATO to have 30 battalions, 30 battleships and 30 air squadrons ready to deploy within 30 days by this year. When it comes to technology, Esper said, NATO allies must carefully consider the longterm risks of the economic and commercial choices they make, especially in regard to telecommunications. In particular, he added, commercial 5G technology from China could putNATO security at risk. “At the end of the day, Chinese telecom firms have a legal obligation to provide technical support and assistance to the communist party, and that concerns us deeply,” he said. “Reliance on Chinese 5G vendors could render our partners’ critical systems vulnerable to disruption, manipulation and espionage.” The U.S. commitment to NATO remains ironclad.” Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper The potential for that, he said, puts communications and intelligence-sharing capabilities and NATO partnerships at risk, he said, and too counter this, the United States is encouraging allied and U.S. tech companies to develop alternative 5G solutions. Esper said the United States remains committed to the NATO partnership and the security it provides. “The U.S. commitment to NATO remains ironclad,” he said. “Together we form the most powerful, multilateral military alliance in the world, one based on our shared values and our shared interests.”

6TH FLEET

Page 1

Naval Forces Mediterranean was created to deliver this forward operating presence. This new force became Commander Sixth Task Fleet, and ultimately, Commander Sixth Fleet, and in its NATO hat, Striking and Support Forces SOUTH. The stakes were high. As Adm. Forrest Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, said in 1950: "The survival of this country depends upon letting the world know we have the power and the ability to use it if the occasion demands." Given that context, it wasn’t surprising to learn that our mission today is not all that different from the mission of the Fleet back then, which was “a twofold mission for peace: first and foremost, to maintain at all times a high degree of readiness and combat effectiveness; and secondly to spread and foster good will between the Mediterranean nations and our own.” The Command History notes that Time magazine referred to Sixth Fleet as President Eisenhower’s “steel-grey stabilizer.” Sailors were commonly called “ambassadors in blue.” These descriptions remain accurate today. For the past 70 years, Sixth Fleet has been a stabilizing force across the region through both our persistent presence and our ability to deliver effects across the full spectrum of maritime operations. On the short list, we’ve cleared mines from the Suez, conducted Non-combatant Evacuation Operations, supported earthquake and other disaster relief efforts, and worked with and as part of NATO to support the resolution of the crisis in Kosovo, as well as in operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya. More recently, we established Aegis Ashore Romania to contribute to the defense of Europe from Ballistic Missile threats from the south, conducted strikes into Syria in response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons on its own people, returned to the arctic

with USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group operating in Norway’s Vestfjord, and worked with Fifth Fleet to conduct a combined exercise in the waters off East Africa and the Indian Ocean. Maritime threats know no boundaries, and Sixth Fleet’s 360 degree view of the world enhances our ability to operate seamlessly across the maritime domain with our Allies and partners alike. And although we’ve adapted our operations and exercises to address the changing security environment of the past 70 years, one thing has remained constant: the inherent flexibility of the Navy-Marine Corps team to deliver combat ready forces, when needed and where needed, providing credible deterrence and response options for our national leaders. Like those who came before us, Sixth Fleet continues to serve as part of America’s Away Team, using the tools of naval power and presence across the region to deter, defend, and when required, fight and win far from America’s shores. As Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations, recently said: “Mission one for every Sailor is a ready Navy...a Navy ready to fight today. That readiness translates into deterrence, into economic security, and preserves our defensive margin.” For the past 70 years, Sixth Fleet has made readiness our mission. We’ve translated that readiness and delivered on our motto: “Power for Peace.” Working alongside our capable Joint Force and our Allies and partners, we are ready today, and will be for the next 70 years - and beyond. To all who have served in Sixth Fleet in the past, to all who are serving today, and to our families and friends that make it all possible…from Mount Whitney, Happy Birthday! I am confident that those standing in our shoes in 2070 will look back with pride on all we have accomplished together. “Power for Peace.”

Healthy Snack Tips for Parents From U.S. Department of Agriculture

Snacks can help children get the nutrients needed to grow and maintain a healthy weight. Prepare single-serving snacks for younger children to help them get just enough to satisfy their hunger. Let older kids make their own snacks by keeping healthy foods in the kitchen. Following are some tips to help parents make healthy snacks. Save time by slicing veggies Store sliced vegetables in the refrigerator and serve with dips like hummus or lowcalorie dressing. Top half a whole-wheat English muffin with spaghetti sauce, chopped vegetables, and low-fat shredded mozzarella and melt in the microwave. Mix it up For older school-age kids, mix dried fruit, unsalted nuts, and popcorn in a snack-size bag for a quick trail mix. Blend plain fatfree or low-fat yogurt with 100% fruit juice and frozen peaches for a tasty smoothie. Grab a glass of milk A cup of low-fat or fat-free milk or milk alternative (soy milk) is an easy way to drink a healthy snack. Go for great whole grains Offer whole-wheat breads, popcorn, and whole-oat cereals that are high in fiber and low in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium. Limit refined-grain products such as snack bars, cakes, and sweetened cereals.

Nibble on lean protein Choose lean protein foods such as lowsodium deli meats or unsalted nuts. Wrap sliced, low-sodium deli turkey around an apple wedge. Store hard-cooked (boiled) eggs in the refrigerator for kids to enjoy any time. Keep an eye on the size Snacks shouldn’t replace a meal, so look for ways to help your kids understand how much is enough. Store snack-size bags in the cupboard and use them to control serving sizes. Fruits are quick and easy Fresh, frozen, dried, or canned fruits can be easy “grab-and-go” options that need little preparation. Offer whole fruit and limit the amount of 100% juice served. Consider convenience A single-serving container of low-fat or fat-free yogurt or individually wrapped string cheese can be just enough for an after-school snack. Swap out the sugar Keep healthier foods handy so kids avoid cookies, pastries, or candies between meals. Add seltzer water to a ½ cup of 100% fruit juice instead of offering soda. Prepare homemade goodies For homemade sweets, add dried fruits like apricots or raisins and reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe. Adjust recipes that include fats like butter or shortening by using unsweetened applesauce or prune puree for half the amount of fat.
