Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson

Contractors recognized for safety excellence

March 29, 2013By Mr. Curt Biberdorf (USACE)

Th e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Alaska District selected Haskell Corporation as the Contractor of the Year during its 14th Annual Celebrate Safety ceremony March 27 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

Haskell Corporation was among 10 contractors and two individuals honored for their safety performance in 2012 during the event, which included a new category for contractors involved in the humanitarian assistance program in Asia.

“Construction workers working on Corps projects are much safer than those working on other projects throughout Alaska and the nation, and that is thanks to our safety conscientious, caring and co-operative contractors,” said David Prado, Alaska District’s safety and occupational health offi ce manager.

Celebrate Safety is a program that recognizes and promotes excel-lence in safety on Alaska District construction and environmental projects.

Th e program’s ultimate goal is improving safe work practices and historical trends, and the annual ceremony is a means to honor those teams and individuals who, through their accomplishments, provide freedom to themselves and others from dangers or hazards in the work place.

Although enforcement is an important part of the safety program, Celebrate Safety started with the thought of “going out there catching people doing things right,” said Col. Christopher Lestochi, district commander.

“Th e idea is that somehow we can improve the safety program by identifying best practices and then sharing them with each other,” he added.

Key features of the program are raised awareness of safety at all levels, improved relationships between contractor and government personnel to aff ect excellence in safety, project level awards to honor outstanding contractors and their team, individual level awards to honor demonstrated safety excellence, and a systematic basis to identify, recognize and reward those contractors and individuals who demonstrate excellence in safety.

Fort Bliss

MICC-Fort Bliss delivers for Army’s second largest installation

February 28, 2013By Ben Gonzales, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Aff airs Offi ce

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Providing the contracting needs for more than 35,000 Soldiers and their families at the Army’s second-largest installation is no easy task, but members of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command-Fort Bliss accomplish that every day.

Th e 56 members making up the contracting offi ce plan, inte-grate, award and administer contracts for Army commands and units on post, which are spread over 992,000 acres.

Home to the Army’s second largest maneuver area as well as 1,500 square miles of virtually unrestricted airspace used for missile and artillery training and testing, Fort Bliss has the room to accommodate the 300-percent increase in its population over the last fi ve years. Providing and sustaining the contract needs of the installation is where the MICC-Fort Bliss staff comes in.

In fi scal 2012, the Soldiers and civilians at MICC-Fort Bliss executed more than 2,100 contract actions valued at more than $207 million. Th ey take care of all of Fort Bliss’ major units - including the 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss Garri-son, 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, Brigade Modernization Command, Joint Task Force-North, U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy -- and assist with the new William Beaumont Army Medical Center.

Th e MICC-Fort Bliss staff partners with its customers to evaluate and determine the best course of action to achieve award, management and oversight of contracts. Such eff orts have included the teaming with 1st AD offi cials to develop a contract action review board to assist the division in prioritizing its contract requirements.

Fort Sam Houston

Plan guides Soldier contracting skills development

March 14, 2013By Daniel P. Elkins, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Aff airs Offi ce

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- A Mission and Installation Contracting Command cross-func-tional team here has developed a planning guide to manage the professional development needs of more than 400 Soldiers who are being attached to the command over the next seven months.

Army Contracting Command offi cials announced in January the attachment of Soldiers in 62 units to MICC fi eld offi ces across the country beginning March 20 to streamline the oversight of Expeditionary Contracting Command members stateside and enhance their contracting skills.

To help program that training, a team of MICC headquarters personnel at Fort Sam Houston have been meeting since October 2012 to develop the Contingency Contracting Offi cer Rotation Training Plan Guide that outlines a structured approach. Making up the team were military and civilian representatives from training and readiness, strategic operations, acquisition career program management, and contract policy and training.

“Th e plan defi nes training guidelines and participant responsibilities to ensure experiential learning opportunities are maximized and streamlined throughout the MICC,” said Lydia Hardy, an operations offi cer with the MICC Training and Readiness Division who led the integrated process team.

Th e plan charts training, education and experience requirements on a rotational schedule alongside MICC civilian pro-fessionals to best develop Soldiers for future assignments. It will allow contracting Soldiers in an installation contracting offi ce to gain experience with simplifi ed and complex contracting procedures valuable in performing operational contract support during contingency operations. “In essence, our journeyman contracting professionals are playing a major role in training future MICC, ECC and ACC commanding generals and command sergeants major,” said Col. Antonio Brown, the director of the MICC fi eld directorate offi ce at Fort Bragg, N.C., who will also command the 419th Contracting Support Brigade upon activation in April.

Fort Drum

Fort Drum leads MICC in contract closeout

February 14, 2013By Daniel P. Elkins, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Aff airs Offi ce

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- As contracting activities across the federal government battle a systemic crisis of closing out hundreds of thousands of overaged contracts, a dedicated plan of attack by contracting offi cials at Fort Drum, N.Y., has all but eliminated what once seemed an insurmountable backlog.

In 2008 contracting offi cials at Fort Drum developed a plan to have each contract specialist close out 10 contracts per day, but by early 2009 little or no progress was being made to tackle the dilemma that was years in the making.

John Honey, the MICC-Fort Drum director, was a contracting offi cer at the time tasked with fi nding a solution. His approach: start with simple actions before moving on to complex issues.

“At the time we had a Standard Procurement System report that showed well over 10,000 actions. Aft er carefully reviewing the report, the actual number was reduced to around 5,200 actions,” he said.

He began by refi ning the report to eliminate modifi cations that close automatically with the contract and blanket purchase agreements that have no closeout function in the Standard Procurement System.

“Based on the previous experience, I realized the task of closing out these contracts needed focus and a game plan,” Honey said. “Th e bot-tom line game plan was to target the easy, clean closeouts fi rst, and then work to resolve those with issues.”

Honey and former MICC Contracting Specialist Rebecca Ruff pulled payment data by fi scal year and dug in. If they ran into an issue, the contract action was set aside. Th is approach allowed the two to accomplish the vast majority of contract closeout actions.

“Aft er we picked the low hanging fruit in large numbers, reducing the backlog from 5,000-plus to just hundreds, we de-ployed other contract specialists and administrators to assist in cleaning up contracts with issues of delivery, payment and vendor failure to invoice,” Honey said.

Pine Bluff Arsenal

Arsenal receives ISO recertifi cationMarch 20, 2013By Ms. Rachel Newton (AMC)

During mid-January, Pine Bluff Arsenal underwent recertifi cation of the installation’s Environmental Manage-ment System-ISO 14001, and surveillance audits were conducted on the Quality and Safety Management Sys-tems-ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001.

A consolidation of the ISO management systems policy letters occurred in November resulting in the management summary - “Right today. Better tomorrow.”

“Th e consolidation came out an idea to make employees more knowledgeable in general about the policies,” said Doug McKim, acting environmental chief for the Directorate of Risk Management and Regulatory Aff airs. “In past audits, an auditor would come and ask an employee about the environmental policy, and they just didn’t have good answers. Th is phrase made it easier for the em-ployees to remember. Th e auditors will want to know during the next audit what that phrase means to the employee.”

In brief, the policy letter states that the Arsenal is “committed to producing quality ammunition and chemical defensive equipment in an environmentally sensitive and sustainable manner. ‘Right to-day’ simply means complying with regulations, policies, plans, work instructions, Standard Operating Procedures and other requirements. ‘Better tomorrow’ means that every day, the Arsenal will make improvements. Every time we start a manufacturing or administrative process, it should be more effi cient and more environmentally friendly than it was before.”

Nancy Owen, Arsenal quality management systems representative, said members of the audit team praised the policy consolidation. “Steve McKee with Orion Registrar, Inc. said ‘the new policy is outstanding, unique and is easily understood. It encompasses the organizations desire to integrate the three standards’,” said Owen.

In addition to the policy letter consolidation, Owen said fi scal year 2013 internal audits for quality and environ-mental have been integrated too. Stephen Still, chief of safety for the Directorate of Risk Management and Regu-latory Aff airs, said the Arsenal’s safety program, is very mature in how it complies with AR 385-10, the Army Safety Program.

Pine Bluff Arsenal

Steam line removal, upgrades continue

April 15, 2013By Ms. Rachel Newton (AMC)

A project to remove old steam lines and upgrade other critical energy infrastructure here at Pine Bluff Arsenal has been underway since 2010. Th e project has been extended to approximatelymid-June, according to Eric Benoit, contract offi cer representative, for the Arsenal’s Directorate of Public Works.

“Th e contract not only included steam line removal but replacement of fi ber, natural gas lines and electric power systems,” said Benoit. “When you drive through the production areas now, allthe old poles that used to hold the steam lines, as well as the concrete pedestals holding those poles, and steam vaults are pretty much gone now.”

Approximately 28 miles of steam lines are being removed on the installation. Benoit said about two miles are left to be removed.

Th is project was funded through American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act of 2009. Th e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Little Rock District has oversight of the project. Th e contract was awarded to Carson and Associates, Inc., of Little Rock, in May 2010.

Benoit said his role in the process has been to coordinate the ef-forts between the Corps, the contractor and the Arsenal.

“It has been quite the coordination eff ort to get into some of the production buildings,” he said. “I give them the answers or the permissions, or I get them the answers.”

Greg Yada, project manager with the Corps, said that this project has been a challenging one.

“My commander recognized the diffi culty of the project and quickly identifi ed it as one of the LittleRock District’s top fi ve priority projects,” he said. “Th is means the project had high visibility and priority in re-sources.”

Natick Army Soldiers Systems Center

Modular appliances to dramatically improve fi eld feeding

April 12, 2013By Bob Reinert, USAG-Natick Public Aff airs

NATICK, Mass. -- A versatile new suite of modu-lar appliances promises to make feeding Soldiers in the fi eld a more energy-effi cient, cleaner, cooler and quieter process.

Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems, or PM FSS, and the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center’s Depart-ment of Defense Combat Feeding Directorate have teamed up to produce prototypes of the new appliances -- powered by JP-8 fuel -- that can be combined, split up and located in any setting from a mobile kitchen to a building.

“We hope to actually be able to utilize these across all our platforms of all sizes,” said Tim Benson, assistant product manager, PM FSS. “Right now, it’s being evaluated in base camp applications.”

Th e kitchen in a new Force Provider, or FP, 100-person camp will be outfi tted with the new appliances, said Ben-son, “so that they can be directly compared in terms of what fuel-effi ciency gains there are and how that helps operational energy savings.”

Th e fi rst FP modular kitchen could be completed by May 2013.

“We’re trying to position the Army for a replacement kitchen to completely replace the (Mobile Kitchen Trailer) with what we call the Battlefi eld Kitchen,” said Benson, “and that would be based around these modular appliances.”

According to Benson, Containerized Kitchens could also be updated with the new appliances.

“Th ese appliances could be used on any kitchen platform,” said Tony Patti, team leader, Equipment and Energy Technology, Combat Feeding. “Th eir versatility allows you the fl exibility to use them in any situation.

“In addition, the modular concept has universal components. Th at allows you to confi gure them for diff erent variations. Th ey’re also able to operate independently, so they can stand on their own for any mission need.”

Fort Hunter Liggett

Corps of Engineers helps build ‘green’ military installation of future

April 1, 2013By John R Prettyman, USACE

SACRAMENTO -- Army and sustainability?Using those two words in the same sentence several years ago would have probably been considered the punch line to a joke. But today, a military base that is both environmentally friendly and meets the needs of warfi ghters, is quickly becoming a reality.

Fort Hunter Liggett, with nearly 162,000 acres of forest, moun-tains and rivers, is located in Monterey County, Calif., and is one of several U.S. Army pilot installations selected to be net zero energy and net zero waste by 2020. Th is means the in-stallation will create as much energy as it uses, and reuse and recover all of its waste products.

“Th e net zero initiative is going to provide energy security for this installation and it’s also a priority for the Army,” said Col. Donna Williams, garrison commander for Fort Hunter Liggett.

Th e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leading the way in man-aging construction on major energy projects at Fort Hunter Liggett and is nearing completion on the second phase of four solar microgrids.

“Phase one of the solar project was completed last year and it’s generating one megawatt of power. Phase two is going to add another one megawatt of power,” said Bob Roy, project engineer with the Corps’ Sacramento Dis-trict.

One megawatt is enough energy to power up to 300 homes. Phase two is scheduled to be operational by May 2013, and like phase one, will serve the dual purpose of providing a shaded carport for military vehicles as well.

“It’s not very complicated and is a very simple conversion system,” said Roy. “Th e panels absorb the sunlight energy; it gets transferred into an inverter system which immediately converts it to AC energy and generates the power.”

Army Garrison Camp Parks Reserve Training center

Ground breaks for largest-ever Army Reserve land exchange

March 11, 2013By Mr. Todd Plain (USACE)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District attended a groundbreak-ing ceremony March 6, 2013, at the U.S. Army Garrison Camp Parks Reserve Training center in Dublin, Calif., to kick off the fi rst construction phase of the largest Army Reserve Property Exchange Agreement in Department of Defense history.

Th e Sacramento District’s real estate offi ce is overseeing the transfer of 180 acres in the southwest corner of Camp Parks in exchange for an estimated $66 million in new facilities to be built over the next several years.

“Th is groundbreaking signifi es the start of many great things for the Army Reserve soldiers here,” said Col. Wil-liam Leady, the district’s commander who attended the ceremony. “And I’m proud of our real estate offi ce for their role in making this real property exchange a reality, and with no cost to the taxpayers.”

Th e Army Reserve has congressional authority to exchange its land for new facilities using private funding. Instead of attempting to tap federal resources, Camp Park’s new facilities will be paid for and constructed in six phases by SunCal, a privately-held land developer that won the Army’s competitive selection process in 2008. Aft er each phase is completed, the district’s real estate offi ce will facilitate the documentation necessary for the deeds of transfer.

Th e district took over the Army Reserve’s land exchange program covering everything west of the Mississippi in 2006. Real estate chief Sharon Caine and her offi ce will handle the offi cial documents and deeds between Army Reserve headquarters in Virginia and the developer. Since taking over the program, Caine’s offi ce has completed two land exchanges and is working on six more.“Th e area surrounding Camp Parks is a lot more populated than when it was established in the 1940’s, and the southwest corner of the center has somewhat divided how the community has grown,” said Caine. “My offi ce and staff help make sure the Army Reserve gets a fair deal and both parties receive what they’ve agreed upon--reunit-ing the community, while helping upgrade facilities at this important training center.”

Soldiers, community volunteer to build ranch for Soldiers

March 15, 2013By [email protected]

FORT BENNING, Ga. (March 13, 2013) -- For months, Soldiers and members of the community have worked on the construction of the Warrior Out-reach Ranch in Fortson, Ga. Th e open house for the ranch is from 6-9 p.m. April 5, a day before the sixth annual Warrior Outreach Horsemanship event on Fort Benning's Wetherby Field. Several Soldiers from the 11th Engineer Battalion volunteered their time and skills Saturday.

Spc. James Rash of Camden, Ark., who just returned from Afghanistan March 4, came out to help with the work because of his love of horses.

Riding horses helps to keep your mind off the day-to-day routine, he said.

"It's majestic because I love getting on top of a horse and letting them run free," Rash said.Th e ranch will be a good place for Soldiers and their Families, said retired Sgt. 1st Class Ben Bennett from Greenville, Ky. He and his wife traveled from Kentucky to help on the ranch.

"Th at what's its for, to help Soldiers help Soldiers," he said about the ranch. It allows Soldiers to talk about their issues and also take their minds off of them, Bennett added. Th e completed project will include a trail, areas for Families to congregate and relax in, as well as a place for Sol-diers and their Families learned to ride and take care of horses.

"Th ere are a lot of people who I bump into on a daily basis that want to talk," said retired Sgt. Maj. Sam Rhodes, founder of Warrior Outreach Horsemanship and program manager for Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fit-ness, "so this is going to provide an atmosphere outside of their home and even my home, where we can relax and talk."

Soldiers help build housesMarch 6, 2013By [email protected]

FORT BENNING, Ga. (March 6, 2013) -- Despite the cold weather, Soldiers and community volunteers ham-mered away on three houses for Habitat for Humanity Saturday.

Th e Maneuver Captains Career Course and L Troop, 2nd Squadron, 16th Cavalry Regiment, 316th Cavalry Bri-gade, worked on separate projects.

Each cycle, community service is a requirement for both classes, said Soldiers who organized the project.Capt. Chip Greer of Winston-Salem, N.C., said he and the others enjoyed working with their hands and building so it was a good project to do.

"I have experience doing Habitat for Humanity back home," said 2nd Lt. Mark Herter of Columbus, Ind., who is part of ABOLC. "So we got in contact with the local organization here, found some homes that needed some work and we all came out."

Each class that goes through the Armored Basic Leader Course also does a community service project, Herter said.

"I get a lot of satisfaction out of building something for someone else that's going to hopefully give them a better life -- give their kids a better life," Herter said.

It's also a way for Fort Benning to support Columbus by help-ing the less fortunate, said Maj. Joe Black of Biloxi, Miss., and the small group leader for the MCCC class.

"You hear so much nowadays of the community thanking the military for our service," said 2nd Lt. Jonathan Gitter of Boerne, Texas, who is part of ABOLC. "So it's good for me to give back that respect as well, to say "thank you for supporting us.'"

Both teams spent their time working on the roofs of the houses, as well as siding, Greer said.

Army upgrades protected communications satellite terminal training suite

February 25, 2013By By Amy Walker, staff writer for PEO C3T

FORT GORDON, Ga. (Feb. 25, 2013) -- Th e Army recently began schoolhouse computer-based and simulated training upgrades for its advanced Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical -- Terminal to evolve the previous

legacy training system to accommodate new system enhancements.

When commanders need protected, secure throughput for worldwide communications, they rely on the Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reli-able Tactical -- Terminal. Th is system makes it possible for Soldiers to extend the range of their network in such a manner that communications cannot be jammed, detected or intercepted. Th e Advanced Extremely High Frequency, or AEHF, SMART-Ts provide advanced capability to the force over legacy systems, including a four-fold increase in throughput and enhanced security features. "Since all of the legacy SMART-T systems are currently being upgraded to the AEHF capabil-ity, these training upgrades are a vital step in

ensuring that Soldiers and their units are getting the most out of these improved protected communication capa-bilities, and in the most effi cient and cost-eff ective manner available," said Lt. Col. Greg Coile, product manager for Satellite Communications, or PdM SATCOM, which manages SMART-T. PdM SATCOM is assigned to the Army's Project Manager Warfi ghter Information Network-Tactical.

Th e United States Army Signal School and Fort Gordon, Ga., training upgrades began in December 2012 aft er months of planning and scheduling critical events. Major enhancements include the AEHF upgrades to the Satellite Simulator, or SATSIM, and Computer Based Training, or CBT, system, along with the addition of 12 new AEHF SMART-T systems, with the last of these systems being delivered in February. Th e updated training began in mid-January with four Army classes and one Marine class, totaling 73 students. Over the next year, the three-week AEHF SMART-T course will be taught to 62 classes, with more than 1,000 Army students and 100 Air Force, Marines and civilians.

Army electronic warfare evolutionary path presented at EW Summit

March 20, 2013By Adrienne Moudy ALEXANDRIA, Va. (March 20, 2013) -- Army electronic warfare is an evolving capability for the Army. Col. Jim Ekvall, the Headquarters, Department of the Army G-39 Electronic Warfare Division chief, had the opportu-nity to speak at the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement Electronic Warfare Summit, March 19, which just so happened to be the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the War in Iraq. Aft er deploying twice to Iraq himself, Ekvall can tell you fi rst-hand how electronic warfare saves lives and is a much needed capability for the Army.

Th ousands of miles from the streets of Baghdad or Fallujah, industry, military and scholars gathered at the Crowne Plaza in historic Old Town Alexandria, near the Pentagon, for the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement Elec-tronic Warfare, or IDGA EW, Summit. Ekvall’s presentation focused on the evolution of Electronic Warfare, known as EW, within the Army, specifi cally during the past several years of warfare as well as where the Army plans to take electronic warfare in the future.

Ekvall began his presentation with an overview of the key players within Army EW.

Army EW has a broad base of players; Ekvall is the division chief of G-39 Army EW Division in the Pentagon, which pro-vides Headquarters, Department of the Army, or HQDA, staff the oversight for the entire Army EW enterprise. Fort Leavenworth’s Mission Command Center of Excellence provides the oversight to the EW proponent offi ce whereas the Program Executive Offi ce in Aberdeen, Md., provides the oversight for the program manager of electronic warfare.

EW has its own MOS -- the 29 series. Soldiers who choose this career path are trained at the Fires Center of Excellence at Fort Sill, Okla.

“Fort Sill has created a range which has the ability to train Soldiers how to operate within the electromagnetic spectrum and in a realistic battle scenario,” said Ekvall.

Honolulu District Promotes Safetyfor Small Business Contractors

April 5, 2013Cathy Yoza, Honolulu District Deputy for Small Business

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii (April 5, 2013) - Seventy-two people eagerly crammed into a Honolulu District conference room in early February to attend the Corps' latest Safety and Health Train-ing for Small Business Contractors. Th e free, four-hour training is geared primarily for small business contractors in Hawaii and teaches them how to write and execute eff ective Accident Preven-tion Plans (APP) for Corps construction contracts. Many District engineers, other Corps staff , and large business contractors also attended.

Tracy Lawson, president of Lawson & Associates, Inc. and a certi-fi ed Safety and Health Professional (CSHP), presented the train-ing. Her company is a Woman, Veteran-Owned, state of Hawaii Disadvantaged Business based in Mililani. It has six full time, local safety consultants who specialize in assisting small, medium and large businesses achieve effi ciency in operations through well-managed safety and risk programs.

"We greatly appreciate Tracy's leadership in the training sessions and showcasing her expertise to promote safety and health in all aspects of construction," said Honolulu District Safety Manager Jeff Cochran. "Tracy's exem-plary knowledge has contributed to Small Business contractors' safety awareness. Our small business contractors have not experienced a lost time accident since the training began in 2002. Our District's safety goal is to ensure that contractor's go home safely to their families every day, and we're thankful for those contractors who partici-pated in the training." Lawson said she conducts the training because, "I want to contribute to the betterment of my community."

"If I can help more business leaders understand why safety is really a part of the overall management system of their organization versus just a program or set of rules, then it gives me a sense of accomplishment because now they are motivated to become more effi cient," Lawson said. "Safety is about leadership and putting processes in place to ensure people's lives are a priority. It's not always about money and getting more business. With this, it really is about getting people to see safety from a diff erent perspective."

Well tests for fresh water at PTAMarch 29, 2013By Mr. Dennis C Drake (IMCOM)

POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA, Hawaii -- A 6,400-foot-deep test water well is being drilled, here, in a fi rst step to determine if the high-altitude base and its surrounding communities could be sustained by their own water supply.

"Th is project has applicability well beyond supporting the Army's needs; it can benefi t the entire Saddle region," said Lt. Col Eric Shwedo, base commander.He added that this project could include properties owned by Hawaiian Homelands, as preliminary research has found potential well sites at both PTA and Hawaiian Homelands areas.

"Th e main problem is our inability to access water," said Leimana Damate, Hawaiian Homes commissioner for West Hawaii. "We're excited about this test well's research for possible water in the Humuula area."

She said if the data provided by this test proves out, Hawaiian Homelands could potentially go straight to drilling a water production well, if eventual funding could be procured.

"Th e Army gives the Hawaiian people hope," Damate said.

"Th e potential benefi t for the Army is that we would no longer have to truck water up to PTA on a daily basis, which is expensive and time consuming," Shwedo said. "If the test well is successful, it could pave the way for production wells to be dug in the area."

Damate noted that water has also been a challenge for ranchers in the region, who also truck in water.

Iowa Army Ammunition Plant

Iowa Army Ammunition Plantembraces renewable energy resources

February 14, 2013By Linda K Loebach

MIDDLETOWN, Iowa (Feb. 14, 2013) -- Iowa Army Ammunition Plant is undertaking a two-phase installation of geothermal and photovoltaic systems at its administra-tion building to help meet the Army Energy Security's mis-sion to "make energy a consideration for all Army activi-ties to reduce demand, increase effi ciency, seek alternative sources, and create a culture of energy accountability while sustaining or enhancing operational capabilities."

To this end, Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, or IAAAP, is undertaking a two-phase installation of geothermal and photovoltaic systems at its administration building.

"Th rough this project, IAAAP is helping the Army gain ground in the Net Zero Energy campaign," said Dennis R. Lacy II, energy execution project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who provided specialized sup-port on the project. A Net Zero Energy Installation is an installation that produces as much energy on site as it uses, over the course of a year.

One of the new systems at IAAAP uses geothermal energy resources. Geothermal energy refers to the heat from the Earth. It is clean and sustainable and exists, literally, right under our feet.

Th e other renewable resource harnessed at IAAAP is the sun's energy. A photovoltaic system was installed and uses solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity.

Both of these systems will allow IAAAP to heat and cool its administration building via renewable energy sources.

"Th e completion of this project starts IAAAP on its fi rst step of energy conservation using green technologies," said Leon Baxter, chief of the Operations Support Division at IAAAP.

Watervliet Arsenal N.Y.

Watervliet's $5.9 million contract will supply critical arms to Afghan soldiers

February 21, 2013By John B. Snyder

WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. (Feb. 2013) -- Watervliet Arsenal announced today that it received a $5.9 million contract to provide the Afghan National Army with nearly 900 60mm-mortar systems, as part of the U.S. State Department's Foreign Military Sales program.

Col. Mark F. Migaleddi, the Arsenal commander, said at a recent production meeting to senior Arsenal leader-ship that this order is an aggressive fi elding eff ort with up to 150 systems being shipped per month. Fielding of these systems, and the indirect fi re capability they provide, will support the speedy transition to a support role for U.S. forces, as well as the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Afghanistan theater of operations.

"Th is order not only refl ects the high confi dence the Department of Defense has on the Arsenal's ability to rapidly support the warfi ghter, but also speaks volumes to the importance of DOD maintaining an Army-owned-and-operated manufactur-ing center," Migaleddi said.

Th is multimillion dollar order will add to the Arsenal's current workload more than 14,000 hours of direct labor, said Ray Gas-ton, the Arsenal's chief of the Production Planning and Control Division.

"Our fi rst shipment of mortar systems is currently being assembled for shipment and will go out this month," he explained.

Bruce Pienkoski, the Arsenal's program manager for processing this order, said the Arsenal was contacted late last month by U.S. Army planners to see if the Arsenal could respond within 30 days to an urgent need to get 60mm mortar systems to the Afghan army.

Fort Bragg team awards multimil-lion dollar contract in 34 days

April 8, 2013By Ryan Mattox, Mission and Installation Contracting Command Public Aff airs Offi ce

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Members of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., played a critical role in meeting an expedit-ed need to establish a comprehensive training and support program for Iraqi defense forces.

Iraqi government offi cials requested assistance from the United States through foreign military sales with obtaining goods and services in sup-port of their defense forces personnel. Th e U.S. Army Security Assistance Training Management Organization at Fort Bragg is responsible for the requirement for support, personnel, facilities, transportation, supervision and non-personal services items to perform training services in sup-port of the Iraq International Academy in Iraq.

Due to the nature of their mission, SATMO offi cials needed it quickly and turned to a team of contracting experts at MICC-Fort Bragg to develop the $45 million requirement for the academy. Th e academy will be the centerpiece for professional military education of Iraqi senior leadership within its ministry of defense.

MICC-Fort Bragg offi cials said the estimated time frame for an award with a value of $45 million, such as the Iraq International Academy contract, is typically 280 days from the date of involvement.

"Th rough coordination and a group eff ort with all key players, we were able to award this requirement in 34 days," said Anne Talbot, chief of the installation pre-award division for the MICC-Fort Bragg.

According to Talbot, there were a few obstacles they needed to overcome during the process.

3/6/2013 - AURORA, Colo. -- Fol-lowing a year-long coordinated eff ort between Buckley Air Force Base and the local community, representatives un-veiled the Master Plan for development March 4 at the Aurora City Building. Th e plan is a vision for future growth and development of the base during the next 20 years, with great consideration for the benefi t of the local community.Th e Master Plan was a labor of mili-tary planning sessions, multiple com-munity outreach events and good, old-fashioned hard work, according to Mark Gillem, urban planner with Th e Urban Collaborative who worked as a lead on the project. It molded the four Area Development Plans, or installa-tion section-specifi c plans, into a single, focused goal for the future."Th e most important aspect was creating a clear vision," explained Gillem, who is also a professor at the Univer-sity of Oregon. "We hosted a two-day workshop on base with almost 100 people showing up each day. Collabora-tively, we worked together to build that vision and identify those areas we wanted to improve."Th ese initial vision workshops became the cornerstone that would lead to a successful planning process and a fully developed the plan, stated Joe Elms, Air Force Space Command community planner. Also, this project cre-ated a blueprint for other bases in AFSPC to follow.
