Cooling/Heating Transition ScheduleEach Autumn, a concerted effort is made to shut down

air conditioning systems and activate heating systems atthe most optimum times to conserve energy. Our pro-posed way ahead is to have all air conditioning systemssecured by the end of October and all heating systemsonline by the end of November.Estimated transition datesbased on historical data for the 2012 Autumn transition areas follows:

Industrial Buildings(Hangars, FRCMA,Warehouses)

Heating On: November 22

Admin BuildingsHeating On: November 19

Training Buildings(TSC HR, CNATTU, NMITC)

Heating On: November 15

QOL Buildings(MWR, NGIS, UPH,

Branch Health Clinics, Galleys)Heating On: 12 November

Heating systems will be activated following three con-secutive days when the mean temperature drops below55 degrees and ten-day weather forecasts will be moni-tored for any drastic fluctuations that would result in earlyheat activation. Navy Installations Command directs thatspace temperatures in living and working areas be main-tained at 68 degrees or lower. Intermittently occupied ar-eas, such as shops,warehouse and storage areas should bemaintained at 55 degrees or lower. Auxiliary heating ap-pliances are not authorized. Such appliances are not onlyinefficient, they constitute fire hazards. Should you haveany questions, contact the Public Works Facilities Require-ments Branch Head at 433-2868.

USS TRUMAN,At Sea (NNS) -- The aircraft carrier USSHarry S. Truman (CVN 75) completed a 24-day under-way Oct. 25 that tested the skills of every Sailor andMarine aboard.

For the first time in almost two years, Carrier Air Wing(CVW) 3 Sailors and Marines embarked Truman prior toTruman’s Oct. 2 underway to prepare for Harry S. Tru-man Strike Group’s upcoming deployment.

Capt. Mike Wallace, CVW-3’s commander, said Tru-man’s underway gave the air wing an opportunity totest and improve various skills across each of its squad-rons.

Including a focus on the timeliness of launches andrecoveries,Wallace said increased attention was placedon flight operations such as airborne refueling and indi-vidual unit-level training.

“This is the first time the ship and air wing have oper-ated together as a team since December 2010,” said Wal-lace.“This underway included a high number of cyclicoperations. We were launching and recovering aircraftfor 12 hours at a time, refining the pilots’ skills as theytook off and landed on the carrier.”

In total, CVW-3 pilots completed more than 1,300launches and recoveries even as Truman Sailors andCVW-3 personnel participated in a multitude of ship-

board training scenarios, both on the flight deck and inthe hangar bay.

“The most noticeable part of our integration was thatour Sailors and Marines were making flight operationslook easy every time,” said Cmdr. Paul Crump,Truman’sair officer.“While working on the flight deck, there areso many variables, so many things that can happen, yeteach launch and recovery was executed safely, quickly,and effectively.”

Crump said the carrier’s underway consisted of seam-less teamwork betweenTruman’s air department Sailorsand CVW-3 as they conducted drills that simulated air-craft crashes and fires,barricade drills and mass casualtydrills on the flight deck.

“CVW-3 Sailors have been enthusiastic,motivated andwilling partners in every way,” said Crump. “It’s greatto see how far this team has come in only a single un-derway. As we moved on to more complicated opera-tions, CVW-3 and air department Sailors were perform-ing with practiced regularity.The flight deck and hangarbays have evolved to pro-active environments ratherthan reactive ones.”

Wallace agreed, noting the professionalism everySailor and Marine displayed while conducting air opera-tions.

Truman, CVW-3 sharpen warfighting skills

BY LT. JOHN E. KELLYNAS Oceana Chaplain

In just a little less than a weekyou and I will be going to thevoting booths to once againvote for the person that wethink will be the best choicefor the President of the UnitedStates. We will also be voting for

various candidates to represent us in villages, towns,cities, counties and states throughout our great nation.Not only is this our right as American citizens, it is alsoour moral obligation to determine who will best rep-resent our values, our morals and our understandingof the issues. Each of us will base our choices on ourlife experiences and on our particular belief systemsknowing that whoever we chose will be the person(s)that will represent us as individuals and as Americans.

With that being said I would like you to keep twoprinciples in mind as we approach the November 6thelection. The first is that in order to make a good deci-sion that will benefit the entire nation we, you and I,must have a well–formed conscience. Conscience isnot the “freebie” it might initially seem to be. It’s notsomething that allows us to justify doing whatever wewant, nor is it a mere feeling about what we shouldor should not do. Conscience has been, and is, calledthe “voice of God resounding in the human heart”;something that always requires us to make seriousattempts at sound moral judgments. Being a faithfulcitizen requires a well-formed conscience,which is foreveryone a necessary attribute that will enable us tomake good moral and ethical choices in our privatelives and public responsibilities. Developing and form-ing our conscience is an ongoing process aided bymany things. For instance many people will rely upontheir understanding of the issues, their well thoughtout principles, ethics and morals which have been ac-quired through education and life experiences. Oth-ers, like myself, will rely upon the same things but addto that Scripture, Church teaching, and prayer.

The second principle is prudence. Prudence is thevirtue that enables people to discern the right thingto do in specific, everyday circumstances and then act.Like a well-formed conscience, this comes with somecaveats.

A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor missile is launched from MeckIsland to intercept a ballistic missile target during a Missile Defense Agency integratedflight test.

Base,and surrounding areas in the west-ern Pacific, stressed the performance oftheAegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD),THAAD,and Patriot weapon systems.

An Extended Long Range Air LaunchTarget (E-LRALT) missile was air-droppedover the broad ocean area north of WakeIsland from a U.S.Air Force C-17 aircraft,staged from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hick-am,Hawaii.

The AN/TPY-2 X-band radar, locatedwith the THAAD system on Meck Island,tracked the E-LRALT and a THAAD in-terceptor successfully intercepted themedium-range ballistic missile. THAADwas operated by Soldiers from the 32ndAAMDC.

Another short-range ballistic missilewas launched from a mobile launch plat-form located in the broad ocean areanortheast of Kwajalein Atoll.The Patriotsystem, manned by Soldiers of the 94thAAMDC, detected, tracked and success-fully intercepted the target with a PAC-3

interceptor.USS Fitzgerald successfully engaged a

low flying cruise missile over water.TheAegis system also tracked and launchedan SM-3 Block 1A interceptor against ashort-range ballistic missile. However, de-spite indication of a nominal flight of theSM-3 Block 1A interceptor, there was noindication of an intercept of the SRBM.

FTI-01 was a combined developmentaland operational test. Soldiers, Sailors, andAirmen from multiple Combatant Com-mands operated the systems and wereprovided a unique opportunity to refineoperational doctrine and tactics.Programofficials continue to assess and evaluatesystem performance based upon telem-etry and other data obtained during thetest.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. - (Oct. 10,2012) - Naval Air Sta-tion (NAS) Oceana celebrates diversity in our Navy by ob-serving Hispanic Heritage month during a presentationheld at the Chapel of the Good Shepherd Oct. 10.

National Hispanic heritage month is from Sept. 15 toOct. 15.The day of Sept. 15 is significant because it is theanniversary of independence for Latin American coun-tries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras andNicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate theirindependence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively.Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is Oct. 12,falls within this 30-day period, according to the obser-vances website, http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov.

“We value all people and at this time we rightly cel-ebrate the positive impact and richness of the HispanicLatino culture and the influence of their heritage,” saidChaplain Paul Greer, NAS Oceana Chaplain.

“Today we’re here to celebrate the Latino influencethat has been made through history in today’s Navy andcontinue to make history which strengthens our nation,”said Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate-Handling (AW/SW)Geraldine Lopez, quarterdeck staff LCPO.

A presentation highlighting the achievements of His-panic Latino Americans was displayed for those in atten-dance.

“The national theme for this year is ‘diversity united,building America’s future today,’ celebrating the genera-tions of Hispanic Americans who have influenced andenriched our nation,” said Information Systems Special-

ist 2nd Class (AW) Donald Huet reading the Chief ofNaval Operation’s message during the observance.“Thestrength of our Navy and nation is derived from the diver-sity of our people and hispanic Sailors play a critical rolein our Navy.Today nearly 50,000 hispanic Sailors and of-ficers serve in the United States Navy, participating in ev-ery facet of naval operations. Four hispanic admirals and172 hispanic master chiefs lead our Navy from the front,providing unique perspectives and experiences that en-hance our culture and improve our mission readiness.”

According to guest speaker at the observance JaimeBarón, admissions representative at Bryan & Stratton Col-lege, the 2010 U.S. census revealed that about one in sixAmericans identify themselves as hispanic, making thehispanic demographic the fastest growing segment ofthe population currently an estimated 50 million people.

“Culture, we are here today celebrating it,” said Barón.Barón stressed the need and responsibly we have to

our children as a diverse population to pass on our na-tive cultures in order to continue to sustain our nativeheritage.

“It’s very important to know where you come from be-cause it’s going to be a reflection of where you’re going,especially with culture,” said Barón.“What are we goingto teach them [our children] that they are going to teachtheir kids? The values, the ethics and principles, all thosethings are instilled in the culture. These are the thingsthat really tie us together. It’s like the mortar in betweenthe bricks of our live’s that make us who we are.”

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic HeritageWeek under President Lyndon Johnson and was expand-ed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on Sept. 15 and ending on Oct. 15. Itwas enacted into law on Aug. 17, 1988, on the approvalof Public Law 100-402, according to http://hispanicher-itagemonth.gov.

“I love working for the USO.” said Licari.“Part of the reward is seeing the kid’s smilesduring this and all the activities the USOholds. These events are a chance for mili-tary members and their kids to get out havea good time together.”

Chaplain: Voting priciplesFor example,all of us will agree that that

there are morally unacceptable ways ofpursuing goals in our lives as individualsand as a nation and that the ends, whetherthey are good or bad, do not justify themeans by which we attain those goals.There are different ways to respond tovarious social concerns and none of us areexcused from helping to build a more justand peaceful world.

In the end our elected officials are putinto their positions by our choices whichare based upon a well-formed conscience

and a prudent understanding of the issues,concerns, and problems that we face ascitizens and a nation. No one person orgroup can dictate to us who we should orshould not vote for, nor should we allowthem to even try. All we need to under-stand is that every one of our votes countand will have consequences for each ofus, our nation and the world. As citizensof the United States and of the world, ourresponsibility is to help build a more justand peace world. So, don’t forget to voteon Nov. 6 2012.

BY DAVID SMALLEYOffice of Naval Research

ARLINGTON, VA (NNS) -- The chief of naval researchtold a packed house at an Office of Naval Research (ONR)event this week that he intends to bring officials from theNavy, Marine Corps, industry and academia together on aquarterly basis, starting in 2013, to accelerate S&T effortsfor the warfighter.

“We do this conference every two years, which is phe-nomenal and very valuable-and probably not enough,”saidRear Adm. Matthew Klunder, the chief of naval research,at the 2012 ONR Naval S&T Partnership Conference andASNE Expo.“We’re going to start providing a more helpfulregular drumbeat. Every quarter, ONR is going to have afocused working forum with our industry and academicpartners.”

Klunder stressed the new meetings will be informal, in-tended to share ideasand concerns withinthe naval S&T com-munity.“This will notbe a conference,” hesaid. “I’m talking ba-gels and coffee, and afew hours of sharedtime. Just a functionalforum.”

He emphasized theimportance of col-laboration in the suc-cessful developmentof new naval technol-ogies, and their transi-tion to the warfight-er. The conferencewhere he announced the new approach is itself a biennialevent bringing together top military, scientific, industryand academic experts in matters related to science andtechnology and defense.

More than 1,500 stakeholders attended the event thisyear.

Klunder’s keynote delivered an overview of ONR’s mis-sions and challenges, with updates on the focus areas ofthe Navy’s S&T Strategic Plan.Those areas include: auton-omy and unmanned systems; assured access to maritimebattlespace; information dominance; platform design andsurvivability; power and energy; strike and integrated de-fense; warfighter performance; total ownership cost; andexpeditionary and irregular warfare.

“We do look at developing leap-ahead,very cutting-edge

In An Uncertain WorldNavy needs science andtechnology collaboration

opportunities, technologies that are 10-plus years away,”he said. “But we’re also looking at technology opportu-nities that will be complete in the next year or two, orthree-to-five years.”

In both cases, he said, the warfighter, and the taxpayer,will be best served by innovative, collaborative solutionsfrom partnerships, drawing on strengths from industry,academia and the Navy and Marine Corps.

The need for successful S&T solutions is particularlyacute in the context of global developments, he said, list-ing problems from proliferation of weapons of mass de-struction and terrorist elements to climate change andbudget pressures.

As the Department of the Navy’s science, engineering,mathematics and technology (STEM) executive, Klunderclosed his address by encouraging efforts to increase par-

ticipation by young people in the fields of STEM-with thegoal of nurturing future scientists.

“I implore you,”he told the audience,“do not let a childcome home from school and say that math or scienceisn’t cool-we owe it to our nation’s future.”

ONR is the Navy’s lead organization for STEM out-reach.

ONR provides the science and technology necessaryto maintain the Navy and Marine Corps’ technologicaladvantage. Through its affiliates, ONR is a leader in sci-ence and technology with engagement in 50 states, 30countries, 1,035 institutions of higher learning and morethan 900 industry partners. ONR employs approximately1,065 people, comprising uniformed, civilian and con-tract personnel, with additional employees at the NavalResearch Lab in Washington, D.C.

Future USS Minnesota ChristenedNAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND

NEWPORT NEWS,VA. (NNS) -- The Navy christened itsnewest submarine, the future USS Minnesota (SSN 783),Oct. 27, at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport Newsin Newport News,Va.

Minnesota’s sponsor, EllenRoughead,broke a ceremonial bot-tle of sparkling wine against thesubmarine’s hull, officially namingthe ship.Roughead, the wife of for-mer Chief of Naval OperationsAdm.(Ret.) Gary Roughead, has been atireless supporter of militaryfamilies and continuingeducation initiatives forNavy spouses.

“We were honoredto have Mrs. Rougheadparticipate in such an impor-tant milestone for PCU (pre-com-missioning unit) Minnesota,” saidCapt. David Goggins, Virginia classprogram manager.“The Virginia classis an outstanding platform and Min-nesota builds on the stellar reputationof quality and success that the class is known for.”

Minnesota is the 10th ship of the Virginia class andthe last under the second,or block II,contract.The subma-rine is on track to deliver to the Navy in late spring 2013,ahead of itsApril 2014 contract delivery date.The ship will

be commissioned shortly thereafter.“When Minnesota delivers next year,every block II boat

will have delivered early to its contract delivery date,”saidRear Adm. Dave Johnson, program executive officer forsubmarines. “Added together, the shipbuilders deliveredthese submarines 42 months early and Minnesota is wellon track to push that number into the 50s.”

Minnesota’s christening marks the final ma-jor milestone for the Virginia class in 2012. InMay, the Navy took delivery of USS Mississippi

(SSN 782) nearly a year early toits contract delivery date. Missis-sippi was commissioned on June

2. The Navy also began constructionon PCU Colorado (SSN 788) and PCU

Indiana (SSN 789) on March 2 andSept. 2 respectively. Additionally,the Navy released the request forproposals for the block IV con-

struction contract on Sept. 5.Virginia class submarines are de-

signed to dominate the world’s littoraland deep waters while conducting anti-sub-

marine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare;strike warfare; special operation forcessupport; intelligence, surveillance, and re-

connaissance; irregular warfare; and minewarfare missions.Their inherent stealth, endurance, mo-

bility, and firepower directly enable them to support fiveof the six maritime strategy core capabilities - sea control,power projection, forward presence, maritime security,and deterrence.

Panetta: Nation faces‘dangerous andunpredictable’ worldBY CLAUDETTE ROULOAmerican Forces Press Service

NORFOLK,VA. --The Hampton Roads area ofVirginia hasplayed a vital role in the history of the United States, andof the military in particular, Defense Secretary Leon E. Pa-netta said in remarks to members of the Hampton RoadsChamber of Commerce, Oct. 19.

Since the Civil War and the first battle between twoironclad ships, the area has been on the leading edge ofAmerican military innovation,with its shipyards serving asthe backbone of American naval power, Panetta said, not-ing that the broad challenges now faced by the militaryalso face the Hampton Roads region.

The defense secretary said that after a decade of war,theU.S. is at a strategic turning point. Congressionally man-dated budget cuts come at a time when the nation stillfaces a dangerous and unpredictable world.

“I am not one who believes that you have to choosebetween fiscal security and national security,”he said, not-ing that violent extremism, weapons proliferation, inter-national instability and the rise of new powers across Asiaare just some of the challenges facing the country.

“And now we confront a whole new threat of warfarein cyber [space],” said Panetta.“I think this is an area wehave got to pay close attention to.This is the battlefront ofthe future.As I speak, there are cyberattacks going on inthis country.”

“And now they’re developing the capability to be ableto go after our grid - our power grid, our financial sys-tems, our government systems - and virtually paralyze thiscountry,”he added.“We are confronting a series of threatsto our national security. I’ve got to do everything I can tomake sure we protect this country.”

To address those challenges while meetingAmerica’s fis-cal responsibilities, Panetta said the Defense Departmentundertook a review of the defense strategy.As part of thatreview, it established new defense priorities and focusedon designing a force that would carry the U.S. into thefuture.

Panetta highlighted the five elements of the new de-fense strategy: a smaller, more agile force; a rebalance tothe Asia-Pacific and Middle East; building internationalpartnerships and alliances; ensuring the nation can con-front and defeat aggression, even when it occurs on mul-tiple fronts; and making key investments in defense tech-nologies and capabilities.

As part of that strategy, the defense secretary said,“Wewill continue to invest in the unique capabilities and themilitary and industrial facilities like those in HamptonRoads. I also want to maintain our industrial base.”

For example, despite budget pressures, the Defense De-partment elected to retain the Navy’s full fleet of aircraftcarriers.

“Similarly, we are investing in the Vir-ginia-class submarine and upgrading thisimportant capability for the future,” hesaid.

Adding, “And finally, we are investingin the cutting-edge unmanned systemsand cyber warfare capabilities that areso important in our mission at LangleyAir Force Base,” he said.“This communityhas strongly positioned itself to help us

achieve our strategy. But ... we are jeopar-dized if Congress does not act to preventsequester from taking effect in January.”

Panetta emphasized that the additionalcuts would be devastating to the nation’sdefense.

“There’s still time to prevent seques-tration,” he said. “Let me be clear, no onewants this to happen ...but, for God’s sake,don’t just kick this can down the road.”

“This has given us the chance to practicecritical skills that we will have to demon-strate during actual missions while on de-ployment,” said Wallace.“It’s all about refin-ing our proficiencies. We can’t build uponthe complexity of our mission executionuntil we have a solid foundation.”

According to Wallace, the foundationcould not have been built without the helpof every Sailor and Marine aboardTruman.

“I could not be happier with the team

we have built within Harry S.Truman Strikegroup,”saidWallace.“We tell ourselves everyday how blessed we are to have great peo-ple who get along and work hard togetherand truly understand that it’s a team sport.”

NORFOLK,VA. - The Hampton Roads Chamber of Com-merce honored a Sailor as the Military Citizen of the Yearduring a luncheon held at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott,Oct.13.

Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Eric Brownstationed on board PCU Arlington (LPD 24) was chosen asthis year’s honoree for his dedication and organization ofvolunteer work for the United Service Organizations (USO)located in the Norfolk International Airport.

“I’m honored,”said Brown upon receiving the award.“I’malso very happy to be here representing the Arlington.Thiswas a win not only for myself but also all of their hard work.I’ve never been to a command where people volunteer theway they do here.”

“He was a volunteer there already when I came on as thecenter director,” said Amber McKinney.“He welcomed mein and we began discussing our visions and goals to bet-ter serve the military in our facility.There is nothing moreheartbreaking than seeing Sailors and Marines sleeping onbags and waiting.He motivated and trained Sailors to comeout and volunteer their time.”

Many volunteers would stand 12 hour watches in orderto keep the facility open for military personnel, McKinneyadded.

“Community service is the primary way we interact withour environment and the way we embrace our neighbors,”said Brown.

In 2011, Brown volunteered more than 250 hours withthe USO and Central Virginia’s Center alone. He also dedi-cated hundreds of volunteer hours to other outreach pro-grams in the Hampton Roads community such as Habitatfor Humanity and served as a tour guide for the HamptonRoads Naval Museum.

“I am very excited,” said McKinney. “It’s like watchingyour child win the spelling bee. He has been huge in help-ing the military to include training his people. It’s an honor

Arlington Sailor Named the Military Citizen of the Year

to see his hard work pay off.”Many other Sailors agree that Brown deserved to take

home the award.“I’m very proud,” said Cryptologic Technician Collection

3rd Class Jarad Krum, PCU Arlington (LPD 24) commandcoordinator for Habitat for Humanity and USO volunteer.

“I don’t think there is anyone that deserved it as much ashim. I found out about the program through him and I’vebeen doing it ever since. I’m there every Monday and he’salways there to help.”

There were 29 nominations for the award that is namedin honor of Samuel T. Northern, a local businessman who

devoted most of his life to strengthening the relationshipbetween the local community and the military.

“It is a difficult task to select a winner from those whohave dedicated time and sometimes their own money,”saidMs. J.C. Kriedel, Immediate Past Chair of the Armed ForcesCommittee.“These fine young men and women have raisedhundreds and thousands of dollars and inspired others todo the same.”

The event featured keynote speaker, Retired Rear Adm.ByronTobin,The Honorable Paul Fraim,Mayor of the city ofNorfolk and a bell ringing ceremony to commemorate the237th birthday of the Navy.

CVW-7 Participates In Eagle Arena2012 With Egyptian Air ForceBY LT. BRANDON RODGERSStrike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 143

JIANIKLIS, Egypt (Sept. 11, 2012) – U.S.Navy Sailors from several squadrons assignedto Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 participated ina 10-day exercise alongside the Egyptian AirForce (EAF) in Eagle Arena 2012, from Aug.31-Sept.10.

The 10-day exercise provided an oppor-tunity to increase interoperability and com-bined proficiency in a number of air-basedcapabilities while also enhancing U.S.-Egyp-tian relations.

Participating squadrons included the“Pukin Dogs” of Strike Fighter Squadron(VFA) 143, the “Jolly Rogers” of VFA-103, the“Rampagers”ofVFA-83,and“Wildcats”ofVFA-131.

Led by Cmdr.Bobby Markovich,command-ing officer of VFA-83, two F/A-18C Hornets,two F/A-18E and two F/A-18F Super Hornetsarrived in Egypt,Aug.31 and were welcomedby the EAF’s 272nd Tactical Fighter Wing(TFW),located at JianiklisAir Base.

CVW-7 maintenance personnel set upshop in spaces provided by their hosts, andaircrew attended academic sessions withthe EAF on the first day.Presentations on thecapabilities of the EAF and CVW-7 aircraft,organizational structures, training pipelinesand close air support set the stage for theexercise.

Prior to starting the exercise, it was im-portant for the EAF and CVW-7 aircrew tohave a common understanding of standardoperating procedures. Despite languageand terminology barriers, the EAF success-fully explained their standard procedures forbriefing and debriefing,entering working ar-eas and operating within the aerodrome.

With familiarization complete, Mirage V’s,Alpha jets, and Fighting Falcons from nearbybases participated in section engaged ma-neuvering and Forward Air Controller (Air-borne) close air support events.

Taking a crawl-walk-run approach, theoperational phase of the exercise included

air intercepts, close air support and largeforce sorties. Mixed sections and divisionsof Hornets, Super Hornets, and F-16 FightingFalcons from the EAF 75th Fighter Squadronexecuted standard tactics, while remainingsafe and predictable,during the air interceptphase.

During a break from the action,Sailors en-joyed two cultural days in the city of Cairo,located two hours south of the base. Sailorsvisited some mainstays of Egyptian culture,starting with the Egyptian History Museum,where they marveled at artifacts from an-cient Egypt,the furniture of the Pharaohs andthe process and products of mummification.After a brief hike to the Great Pyramids ofGiza and a drive to the Sphinx, Sailors spentthree hours shopping for souvenirs, observ-ing the making of papyrus and purchasingperfumes unique to Egypt.

Evenings during the exercise featured soc-cer, table tennis and volleyball games withthe EAF pilots and maintainers. During thesesocial interactions, people shared stories oflife and family, learning about one another’sculture and ways of thinking.

The exercise culminated with two inte-grated large-force events. Conducting jointair defense,eight aircraft took to the skies totest their ability to coordinate and executepre-briefed tactics. Meanwhile, eight oppos-ing aircraft challenged these tactics by con-ducting a large-force strike, attempting toinfiltrate and disrupt the lines of defenders.

With 100 percent sortie completion,the exercise was a huge success. Patcheswere exchanged, cake was consumed andaircrew discussed ideas for the next EagleArena.

In the end, the Navy aircrew discoveredthat the pilots of the EAF, though cultur-ally and geographically distinct from them-selves, are very similar in terms of goals,ambition, and their love of country andaviation. Both countries’ squadrons exem-plify the fighter spirit by being the bestthey can be for the sake of their squadron,their people and their country.

The 10-dayexercise provided an opportunity to increaseinteroperability and combined proficiency ina number of air-based capabilities while alsoenhancing U.S.-Egyptian relations.
