The U.S. Army Public Health Center re-cently released its third edition of the Health of the Force report. The report makes Soldier health and readiness information accessible to a wide array of stakeholders, including mili-tary medical professionals, Soldiers, and the larger community.

As noted by U.S. Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Nadja West, the Health of the Force Report “highlights the Army’s current popula-tion health successes that ultimately we, as an Army, can leverage across our camps, posts and stations, in support of the Army’s number one priority, readiness.”

The report compiles information from mili-tary medical surveillance systems to illustrate health outcomes and health factors that affect medical readiness among active duty Soldiers. Medical surveillance can inform programs to reduce and prevent illness and injury in Sol-diers.

“Our Soldiers and their medical readiness

��#��#��\��Dr. Amy Millikan Bell, APHC medical advi-sor and Health of the Force chairperson. “The report provides data for the overall Army and ��#�� -stallations can compare themselves to others. Commanders can understand their status in all areas and then improve the areas of weakness. Charts even provide information on how de-mographic factors such as age and sex can af-fect Soldier health.”

In his initial message to the Force, Secre-tary of the Army Dr. Mark T. Esper offered that “readiness and welfare of our Soldiers, Civilians, and their Families will always be foremost.” The conditions assessed in the re-port, including injury, behavioral health, sleep disorders, and chronic disease all have an im-mediate impact on Soldier medical readiness. Health factors, such as obesity, tobacco use, substance use, healthcare delivery, and air quality all affect a Soldier’s performance and likelihood of developing more serious medical conditions.

When people think about what social workers do, it’s unlikely many people think of the same thing.

One person might picture a �� #��#��#��#�� #��-��!�� #��#�� #��~��\��_��these examples are right to a certain extent, but none capture the entire scope of the role of a so-��!��Y��_� ��

“Social work is by nature a practice that is very broad, including many facets of an indi-vidual’s life which also include family, culture, and social variables and the impact of these vari-ables on an individual’s physical, emotional, and ��!��#�\��}��z��#��!��Y��`�zz_��

One common factor of all aspects of social work is that it utilizes a holistic approach, which means practitioners focus on training the whole person, rather than just individual conditions or �� !��_�-my’s Performance Triad initiative, which works to improve readiness through optimizing Soldier performance in the areas of physical, emotional, �� #�� #� �� sleep, physical activity, and nutrition).

“Social workers routinely support this initia-tive as they focus on the ‘whole’ person includ-ing their physical, emotional, mental, and spiri-tual well-being,” Dunning said. “Social workers understand that a negative impact in any one of the above listed areas can have a negative im-pact on the other; therefore, they are all important to consider within assessment and within treat-ment.”

So what is the difference between a clinical social worker and other behavioral health prac-titioners such as therapists or counselors? It’s important to remember that these titles are often times interchanged or used to broadly encompass �� {�� -cally viewed as someone who provides counsel-ing. This certainly applies to social workers, but could also be said about religious leaders (such as a church pastor), psychologists, or psychiatrists.

Days of Remembrance ceremony honors victims of HolocaustBy SGT. 1ST CLASS ANNETTE RODRIGUEZU.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy

The United States Army Training Center and Fort Jackson will take part in the nationwide effort to honor the victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution April 10 by holding a Days of Remembrance ceremony 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m at the post NCO Club. The event coincides with the nation’s annual commemo-ration of the Holocaust established by Congress and led by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

The ceremony will feature reading of the names of men, women and children who were victims and survivors of the Holocaust, rendition of the Hymn of the Partisans and a Candle Light-ing ceremony.

The Leader Training Brigade and the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy are hosting the ceremony. Through the Days of Remembrance event, LTB and the Academy seek both to com- � ��#��"��lessons it holds for our lives today. The event also pays tribute to the rescuers who risked their lives to save others during the Holocaust and to the American Soldiers who liberated the con-centration camps.

“We pay homage to the men, women and children who tragi-��!��and the men and women who spearheaded their liberation,” said, Col. Fernando Guadalupe Jr, the Leader Training Brigade com-mander. “We will never forget the victims and survivors and will keep their memory alive by sharing the lessons learned for gen-

erations to come.”The ceremony helps keep the memory of the Holocaust alive,

said Command Sgt. Maj. Michael L. Berry, Drill Sergeant Acad-emy commandant.

“As we mourn those lost during the Holocaust, we should nev-er forget our responsibility to keep their memory alive,” Berry said. “To the survivors, you are a testament that evil will never prevail when good men and women are willing to hold humanity in the highest regard and never give up hope.”

“It’s not enough to curse the darkness of the past. We have to illuminate the future,” explained Holocaust survi-vor Estelle Laughlin. “On Days of Remembrance the most important thing to remember is the hu-manity that is in all of us to leave the world better for our children and for posterity.”

To learn more about Days of Remembrance, including the national ceremony in the U.S. Capi-tol Rotunda and a map of remembrance events around the country, visit the United States Ho-locaust Memorial Museum’s website at ushmm.

org/remember.The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecu-

tion and annihilation of European Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims—six million were murdered; Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), people with mental and physical disabilities, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or na-tional reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi Germany.

Army News Service

A needs assessment survey of spouses of Regular Army Soldiers has been extended until March 31. The online survey, which began in January, was scheduled to end Feb. 28.

An additional 25,000 spouses were invited to complete Today’s Army Spouse Survey, which is administered by RAND Corpora-tion. Randomly selected spouses of active duty Soldiers were sent postcards inviting them to participate. RAND already had invited 50,000 spouses in January to take the survey.

Extending the survey period and increasing the sampling audience provides a comparative analysis of spouse usage of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs, said Joseph Trebing, chief of the Soldier and Family Readi-ness Division for the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management.

The Assistant Chief of Staff for Installa-tion Management provides policies, programs, resources and expertise for services and in-stallation infrastructure to enable Total Army readiness. The Assistant Chief of Staff for In-stallation Management is the sponsor of the spouse survey.

“We know that the challenges that face Sol-diers and Families are complex and diverse. We want Army spouses’ help in telling us what ser-vices are important to Army Families,” Trebing said.

Analysis of the survey will help senior lead-ers understand the needs of Army Families. Re-sults will help the Army best address the unmet needs of spouses and focus on Army provided services.

“This survey is unparalleled,” said Dorie Hickson, program analyst with the Soldier and Family Readiness Division. “Unresolved prob-lems among Soldiers and their Families can quickly become problems for units and com-manders, and negatively affect Army readi-ness. Spouses who share their experiences and insights will help make a stronger Army.”

Traditional Department of Defense and De-partment of the Army evaluations ask Soldiers and Family members about their use of existing on-post programs. The Today’s Army Spouse Survey places the experiences of Army spouses �� Y��#� !�� -cently experienced, how they prioritized prob-lems, if they sought help from Army or non-Army resources, and if they ultimately received the support they needed.

More information and the online survey are available at https://www.rand.org/surveys/todays-army-spouse.html.

Chapin Talbot, Assistant Director for Youth Sports and Fitness says the best part of the Spring Jamboree and Egg Hunt is seeing the children happy and participate in physical activity.

“I love kids and I’ll do anything I

can to make sure a kid that lives the military lifestyle can have fun safe events to participate in every time,” Talbot said.

For some Families the Spring Jam-��##��-duction to the Fort Jackson military community. New to the community Devonda Summers, Assistance Di-rector for Parent Central Services and Outreach for Child Youth and School Services, said the Spring Jamboree !�� !�� {��Jackson.

“I’m so excited and thrilled to see all the children enjoying all the fes-tivities to bring in spring,” she said.

Summers said the ultimate pay off was “seeing how the Fort Jackson community comes together to serve the Soldiers and their Families.”

Staff Sgt. Joshua Bishop has his Expert Infantryman Badge pinned to his chest during a ceremony at the NCO Club March 23. Bishop was one of 48 infantrymen to earn the coveted skill badge.

Jackson forges 48 infantry expertsBy ROBERT TIMMONSFort Jackson Leader

“Not only do we forge Soldiers at Fort Jackson, we forge experts,” said Maj. Gen. Pete Johnson, post commander, March 23 as he lauded the efforts of a group of infantrymen for earning the title of tops in their military occupational specialties.

For the 48 Soldiers left standing after a grueling week of their in-fantry skills being tested, having the Expert Infantryman Badge pinned to their chests in a ceremony at the NCO Club on post was once-in-a-lifetime special.

“It feels awesome” to earn the medal, said Pfc. Marco Salas, an infantryman with the 17th Cavalry Regiment out of Fort Irwin, Califor-nia. “I gave it all that I had and left it all there.”

Salas was one of many Soldiers from outside Fort Jackson who came to the installation to compete for the coveted skill badge.

“It’s a great feeling. Wow,” said Staff Sgt. Corey Irwin, Fort Jack-son’s 2017 Drill Sergeant of the Year. “Out of 9 years in the Army, I’ve only had the opportunity twice” to test for the EIB. “I put my heart and soul into it – true blue all the way.”

Irwin was one of 15 Soldiers to earn the title of “true blue” by pass-ing every phase of the competition without receiving a single “no-go.” Soldiers are allowed to mess up ��retest, or have “no-gos” at three stations. If they don’t pass the Army Physical Fitness Test by scoring at least 80 points per event, fail to qual-��!��#��!��Y� �� !��

The focus of a social worker – especially in a clini-cal setting – is to ensure a patient’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health are taken into account. Social workers focus on advocating for and working to-wards strengthening an individual’s or families sense of empowerment within their behavioral health care needs.

“Ensuring all areas of an individual are covered with no judgement is also paramount within the social work ��#�� z��#��~_��-ly stated within the social work code of ethics: ‘social workers respect the inherent dignity and worth of a per-son’ and ‘social workers treat each person in a caring and respected fashion being mindful of an individual’s differences and ethnic diversity.’”

Areas where social workers can assist include deal-ing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, rela-tionship concerns (including marital, immediate family, �X�� !��Y�� !��Y� ��"�� #�� -agement, ‘crisis management’, ‘grief and loss’ and �� more. To schedule an appointment with a social worker or other behavioral health professional on Fort Jackson, call 803-751-2513 or 803-751-2235.

March is National Social Worker Awareness Month. According to the National Association of Social Work-ers, more than 650,000 social work-ers across the country daily “con-front some of the most challenging issues facing individuals, families, communities and society and forge solutions that help people reach their full potential and make our na-tion a better place to live.”

Perkins, recalled joining the Women’s Army Corp in 1974 and going through Ba-sic Combat Training at Fort Jackson as a Licensed Practical Nurse Civilian in Train-ing. Having endured the disbandment of the Women’s Army Corp, Perkins applied for Physician Assistant School on the suggestion of a senior leader and was accepted on her third try.

Perkins said she persisted through every obstacle and offered words of wisdom to the event attendees.

“In life be caring and kind because it comes back to you,” she said. “Be prayerful because prayers are always answered. Most of all be

persistent in life because by being persistent you will move forward.”

More often than not, moving forward is not optional in the lives of service members, their spouse and children, she added. The ability to make the mental move once emotional roots have been planted, require resilience.

Students from Classical Conversations of North East Columbia, a home school-ing group, performed a song about women gaining the right to vote, and student Lydia Bothur shared an essay she has written about her hopes and dreams of becoming an author.

“My goal in writing is to make people laugh and have a good time and change their thoughts for the better,” Bothur said. “I have great determination to be a writer. It can be very fun to write, writing will help me earn money so I can help the church my Daddy pastors. It will also help me make the world a more exciting and interesting place because

of my books.”Garner, head of the Directorate of Public

Works on Fort Jackson and self-proclaimed “dorky engineer,” used graphs and graphics to illustrate positive tenets that helped her make it through life and persist.

“I had quite a few challenges persisting in my youth,” she said.

Garner said her family was not wealthy so she babysat and worked at a peach shed to earn extra money to pay for school. It was ��life, “Don’t put the keys to your own happi-ness and success in anyone else’s pocket.”

“I was devastated; really because I was paying the tuition,” she added.

Not willing to let anything stop her Garner said she looked into the co-operative educa-tion program and begin alternating semesters

working for a chemical company and going to school. Garner persisted and completed her education by accepting the challenge to live her dreams.

Garner offered the same advice to the at-tendees.

“Will you choose to shatter expectations and contradict stereotypes with hard work and perseverance?” she asked. “Will you choose to see the yellow; the good and beautiful in life? Will you choose to be grateful, choose to be happy?”

These questions came with a challenge, a ��#�� X� ��!��!��women in history and women making history.

Garner challenged women to “woman up” and “star as the heroine in your own life.”

HealthContinued from Page 4

According to the Health of the Force report, injuries continued to be the leading cause of Soldiers being not medically ready. In 2016, the most recent year for which data are available, 52 percent of Soldiers experi-enced an injury, and among those affected, most experienced multiple injuries. The report provides various insights for under-standing the burden of injuries on the Army community.

The Army has recently focused on reduc-ing tobacco use, including “tobacco-free liv-ing” initiatives. The decline in tobacco use among active duty Soldiers from 28 percent in 2015 to 26 percent in 2016, as outlined in the Health of the Force report, demonstrates the possible effect of these programs and in-dicates room for continued efforts.

Senior Army leaders are using the Health of the Force report to further understand the health of their communities and to improve the environment, infrastructure and nutri-tion on their installations. In addition to data highlighting challenges and successes, the report includes brief narratives describing the latest advancements in injury and dis-ease prevention and mitigation. The report provides meaningful data for senior Army leaders to create cultural and programmatic change in support of the total Army’s overall readiness and health.

“It’s important to have data displaying that we have a fully functioning, healthy, ��#��#��\��#��of the Force product manager, said. “This data distinguishes between beliefs and facts so we can identify strengths and analyze vulnerabilities. Commanders want to know whether or not to execute a mission, so when weighing their options they need credible evidence on the current health of their unit.”

John Resta, director of the U.S. Army Public Health Center and Acting Deputy Chief of Staff of Public Health for the U.S. Army Medical Command, stated that “in support of total Army readiness, the Health of the Force report continues to provide meaningful data and information through rigorous research and analyses.”
