Message from the Deputy Garrison Commander It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the First Quarterly HR Newsletter of 2012. Change is in the air and this year will hold many challenges for us. As the largest OCONUS training area in the US Army, we provide great value to our Nation, our Soldiers and their Families. As an Enduring Installation we know we will continue to provide great value in the years to come. However, as we begin the New Year there are things we do not know with regards to exactly how we will meet the current fiscal challenges. This creates uncertainty; change coupled with uncertainty can create significant stress in our workforce. Mrs. Kathy Aydt USAG-Grafenwoehr Deputy Garrison Commander

To combat these challenges we focus on respect for our people and respect for the processes we must work through. Key components of our success will be open and continuous communication, strong partnership and a continued focus on the care and development of our workforce. This newsletter is an important tool to help us maintain this focus. This issue is filled with valuable information and resource references that are important and relevant to your career development, personal growth and well being. I encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities contained within. This newsletter is just one of the forums that we will use to fulfill our commitment to provide you relevant, accurate, and up-to-date information. We all know that rumors abound and just as in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game (where someone is told something at one end of a line of people, what comes out the other end is often hardly recognizable as the original message); rumors are a poor substitute for factional information. To that end I request your help in setting the record straight by minimizing rumors and passing only official communications especially when it comes to information regarding transformation and restructuring. As alwaysâ&#x20AC;Ś Many thanks to our Director of Human Resources and Workforce Development Branch for coordinating and publishing the employee newsletter. Do not miss out on the opportunity to challenge yourself, to grow and to reach new horizons that await you. Please provide feedback for future editions to help us ensure we are putting out things that matter most to you.

Message from the Deputy Garrison Commander

Mrs. Kathy Aydt USAG-Grafenwoehr Deputy Garrison Commander

Es ist mir eine grosse Freude, Sie zu dem ersten vierteljaehrlichen HR Newsletter 2012 willkommen zu heissen. Umschwung liegt in der Luft und dieses Jahr wird viele Herausforderungen fuer uns bereit halten. Als das groesste OCONUS Trainingsgebiet der US Army bieten wir unserer Nation, unseren Soldaten und deren Familien bedeutende Werte. Als Einrichtung mit Bestand wissen wir, dass wir in den kommenden Jahren auch weiterhin diese Werte bieten werden. Da wir das neue Jahr jedoch mit vielen finanziellen und organisatorischen Herausforderungen beginnen, fuehrt dies zu Verunsicherung. Veraenderungen gekoppelt mit Ungewissheit kann in unserer Belegschaft erheblichen Stress hervorrufen.

Um diese Herausforderungen anzugehen, begegnen wir der neuen Situation mit Respekt fuer unsere Mitarbeiter und auch mit Respekt auf das, was auf uns zukommt. Leitkomponenten fuer unseren Erfolg sind offene und fortdauernde Kommunikation, starke Partnerschaft und ein kontinuierlicher Fokus auf das Wohl unserer Belegschaft. Dieser Newsletter kann uns dabei helfen, diesen Fokus beizubehalten. Diese Ausgabe bietet wertvolle Information und Hinweise, die zur Weiterentwicklung Ihrer Karriere und zu Ihrer persoenlichen Entwicklung dienen. Ich ermutige Sie, die hier angesprochenen Moeglichkeiten zu nutzen. Dieser Newsletter ist nur eines der Foren, die wir benutzen, um Ihnen relevante, korrekte und aktuelle Informationen zu liefern. Wir alle wissen, dass es viele Geruechte gibt. Aber genau wie bei dem Spiel ‘Stille Post’, bei dem am Ende eine ganz andere Nachricht herauskommt als die urspruengliche, entsprechen diese Geruechte nicht unbedingt den Fakten. Diesbezueglich bitte ich um Ihre Unterstuetzung, die Geruechte einzudaemmen und nur offizielle Meldungen weiterzugeben, besonders, wenn es um Reorganisation und Umstrukturierung geht. Wie immer… Vielen Dank an unsere Direktorin fuer Human Resources und der Abteilung Workforce Development, die diesen Newsletter veroeffentlicht. Nehmen Sie die Moeglichkeiten wahr, Ihren Horizont zu erweitern und zu wachsen. Bitte geben Sie uns Ihr Feedback, sodass wir auch in kuenftigen Ausgaben die Themen behandeln koennen, die am wichtigsten fuer Sie sind. “Ich danke Ihnen fuer alles, was Sie tun, damit dies ein grossartiger Ort zum Leben und Arbeiten bleibt. “ 3

Awards Corner Civilian of the Year FY 11 & Civilian of the 4th Quarter FY11 Mr. Biersack has been selected as the Civilian of the Year FY11 and Civilian of the 4th Quarter FY 11 for his exceptional service Mr. Hans Biersack as Supervisory Budget Analyst, Directorate of Resource Management, USAG Grafenwoehr.

Over the past year, Mr. Biersack has far exceeded the normal duties of his position by successfully executing the FY2011 budget for the multitude of accounts and MDEPs he is responsible for totaling over $84.1 Million. Throughout the FY, he professionally articulated the budget requirements to the Region Staff and provided superb input for the justification of the funding shortfalls. As a result, his accounts were fully funded and the activities under his budget control were able to finance the most critical needs for the FY. His personal engagement, coupled with motivation and dedication, enabled the garrison to execute the budget within the established funding levels and financed the most critical unfinanced requirements during the year end close out.

Civilian Personnel Advisory Center CPAC Information The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has established firm milestones for all Executive Branch Agencies to eliminate paper OPFs by October 2012. In support of this milestone, the Department of Army (DA) is planning on adopting the use of Electronic Official Personnel Folders (eOPF). The conversion to eOPF is a Federal-wide Office of Personnel Management (OPM) led E-Government initiative. Information regarding eOPF is available on the Paper OPFs are no OPM web site at: http://www.opm.gov/egov/e-gov/EHRI/eopf.asp

Manifesting Official Personnel Files (OPFs)

longer available! To view online & print a copy follow these guidelines:

Manifesting is the first and most critical step in the process to convert hard copy OPFs to the electronic eOPF. To ensure that all OPFs are accounted for and are ready to be sent to the conversion facility to be scanned in, the following information and guidance applies to ALL Army employees: • Only documents contained on the permanent (right) side of their OPF that are dated prior to 1998, or after 1998 and not in MyBiz, will be copied upon request. Documents on the temporary (left)side of the OPF (i.e. performance appraisals, current job descriptions, etc.) will not be copied for employees since they are generally available from the employees’ supervisor. Rare exemptions may apply.

New Employee Orientation Class

Zur Unterstuetzung dieses Plans hat das Amt der Armee geplant, sich die offiziellen elektronischen Personalordner (eOPF) anzueignen. Die Umstellung auf eOPFs ist eine bundesweite, Personalmanagement (OPM) geleitete Initiative. Weitere Informationen zu OPFs finden Sie auf der OPM Website: OPFs in Papierform http://www.opm.gov/egov/e-gov/EHRI/eopf.asp

Manifesting Official Personnel Files (OPFs)

gibts leider nicht mehr! Zu finden im Internet, ausdrucken & so vorgehen:

Dokumentieren ist der este und wichtigste Schritt, um Papier OPFs in elektronische eOPFs umzuwandeln. Um sicherzustellen, dass alle OPFs erfasst und bereit fuer die Versendung zum elektronischen Einscannen sind, betreffen folgende Information und Richtlinien ALLE Angestellten der US Armee: • Nur Dokumente, die sich auf der permanenten (rechten) Seite Ihres OPFs befinden und vor 1998 datiert wurden oder nach 1998 und nicht in MyBiz sind, werden auf Anforderung kopiert. Dokumente auf der temporaeren (linken) Seite des OPFs (z. B. Leistungsbeurteilungen, usw.) werden nicht fuer Mitarbeiter kopiert, da diese Info auch beim Supervisor eingesehen werden kann. Ausnahmen sind jedoch moeglich!

Graduate Corner Mr. John Schobin attended CES Intermediate at Ft. Belvoir, VA from 17 October – 4 November 2011. “The course was outstanding, intense, and very rewarding. It was an excellent opportunity for me to continue developing management skills like writing, communication, team building briefing techniques, active listening, and critical thinking which are all skills needed for all leaders at all levels. I would encourage all leaders both GS and Local National at all levels to attend this training. The facilitators were knowledgeable and presented a training environment that made learning something this difficult, interesting and fun”. Mr. John Schobin besuchte den CES Intermediate Kurs in Ft. Belvoir, VA von 17 October bis 4 November 2011. “Der Kurs war hervorragend, anstrengend und hat sich sehr gelohnt. Dies war eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit fuer mich, notwendige Kenntnisse fuer Fuehrungskraefte, wie z.B. Kommunikation, Teamentwicklung, Einweisen in Arbeitsmethoden, aktives Zuhoeren und kritisches Denken weiterzuentwickeln. Ich moechte alle GS und LN’s in Fuehrungspositionen dazu ermutigen, dieses Training zu machen. Die Schulungsleiter kannten sich gut aus und schafften ein Trainingsumfeld, in dem es Spass machte und interessant war, den schweren Stoff zu lernen. ”.

Mr. Simmons attended the CES Basic Resident Course in October 2011. “I recommend that everyone who has a chance to attend this course to do so. I was prior service and am now a DAC. It showed me a different point of view of how CONUS and OCONUS worked. The Basic Course gives you different tools, techniques, practical exercises that will help you learn about team building, time management, goal setting and problem solving. These skills will be a benefit in your work environment and personal life. We are Department of the Army Civilians and are given an opportunity to learn how to develop our workplace in being the best it can be. I have enrolled into the online Intermediate Course and plan to take the resident course in 2012’. Mr. Simmons besuchte den CES Basic Resident Course im Oktober 2011. “Ich empfehle jedem, der die Moeglichkeit hat, diesen Kurs zu besuchen. Ich war Soldat und bin jetzt Zivilangestellter. Der Kurs bot mir eine neue Sicht ueber die Arbeitsweise in CONUS und OCONUS. Der Basic Course gibt einem Einsicht in die Themen Teamentwicklung, Zeitmanagement, Zielsetzung und Problemloesung. Von diesen Kenntnissen werden Sie sowohl in Ihrem Arbeitsumfeld, als auch in Ihrem Privatleben profitieren. Wir sind das Department of the Army Civilians und wir haben die Moeglichkeit zu lernen, wie wir unseren Arbeitseinsatz verbessern und optimieren koennen. Ich habe mich bereits fuer den online Intermediate Course angemeldet und plane die Schulungsphase fuer 2012”.
