The Joint Base Langley-Eustis UnitMinistry Team recently hosted a sym-posium on spiritual care for combatstress and the family at the Point PlazaSuites in Newport News.

The symposium brought more than60 chaplains, clergy members, mentalhealth providers, social workers andcommunity members together to dis-cuss post-traumatic stress disorder andhow to provide spiritual care for Servicemembers and their families affected bythe debilitating condition.

Guests listened to studies and pre-sentations from guest speakers, includ-ing Frank Ochberg, M.D., a renownedpsychiatrist regarded as a founding fa-ther of modern pyschotraumatology,and Harold G. Koenig, M.D., the direc-tor of the Center for Spirituality, Theolo-gy and Health at Duke University Med-ical Center in Durham, N.C.

The event allowed guests to partici-pate in small working groups to discussa variety of subjects relating to provid-ing outreach to personnel before, dur-ing and after deployments. Afterward,the working groups brought their find-ings to large group discussion for inter-face with the experts on hand.

Koenig’s presentation included trou-bling statistics about PTSD and suicidetrends among U.S. military personnel.For example:

■ In 2011, the military experiencedthe highest suicide rate in 25 years;

■ 11-17 percent of Service membersreturning from deployment suffer fromdiagnosable mental health disorders;

■ 15 percent of returning personnelsuffer from PTSD; 42 percent of whichexperienced an amputation, seriouslimb or spinal injuries;

■ 14 percent of returning personnelexperience major depression;

■ 38 percent of married personnel filefor divorce within six months of return,a marked increase in the amount of sex-ual indiscretions and spousal abuse.

“In 2009, 1,868 veterans attempted

suicide. That’s one every 80 minutes,”Koenig said. “This is especially com-mon among young men, ages 18-29.”

The doctors weighed in with sugges-tions on ways to help providers bettercare for Service members who need as-sistance, and offered theories on the rea-sons these personnel experience traumawhile deployed.

Most importantly, Koenig bridgedthe gap between healthcare and spiritu-al wellness, calling on chaplains to help.

“Religion is related to every one ofthe emotional and social challenges ourSoldiers face. There is a key issue I thinkwe need to address regarding the pur-pose and meaning the Soldiers have forfighting in a war,” he said. “The fact isthat, in war, many Soldiers cannot copewith the trauma and loss that they in-flict, and that is inflicted on them... justto survive, for their country [or] just fortheir family.

“The only way they can cope withthis kind of psychological and spiritu-

al trauma is if they are deeply connect-ed to God, and see this war and their ac-tions in this war ... as serving a Godlypurpose,” Koenig continued. “You arethe ones responsible for helping our Sol-diers develop their relationship withGod, and for helping them understandwhy they are fighting.”

Ochberg built on the momentum ofa growing national trend to change theway society thinks of PTSD, calling forthe removal of the term “disorder” fromthe name of the condition.

“I want to see a campaign to end thenegative stigma of dealing with this ter-rible condition,” he said, garnering im-passioned agreement from audiencemembers.

“Providing spiritual care is importantfor the entire category of post-traumat-ic stress within the community,” addedChap. (Maj.) Raymond Folsom, the Ft.Eustis Pastoral Coordinator. “Trauma isnot just a combat thing, but it is our fo-cus here today.”

“You are the ones responsible forhelping our Soldiers develop their re-lationship with God, and for helpingthem understand why they are fight-ing.”

A Fort Eustis-based Coast Guard Re-serve unit returned from a six-month de-ployment to the Middle East in support ofOperation Enduring Freedom July 2, justin time to celebrate the Fourth of July withfamily and friends.

During the deployment, Port SecurityUnit 305 provided seaward security at stra-tegic port locations around the North Ara-bian Gulf, ensuring the free flow of person-nel, equipment and commerce in the region.

“I’m extremely proud of everything weaccomplished during the deployment,”said Cmdr. Michael Ferullo, PSU 305’scommanding officer. “Our members con-ducted themselves with poise and profes-sionalism and built a strong operation-al relationship with our Navy partners.Now, we’re just happy to be home safelywith our family and friends.”

PSU 305 operated and conducted jointtraining with the Navy’s Maritime Expe-ditionary Squadron Four as part of Com-bined Task Group 56.5, under the Naval Ex-peditionary Combat Command. CTG 56.5is charged with providing harbor defenseand security to ports, seaward approaches,and waterways within U.S. Central Com-mand’s area of responsibility.

Prior to deployment, PSU 305 membersconducted waterside security and mar-itime force protection training includingspecialized combat, weapons and boatskills qualifications.

PSU 305 families are benefiting from theYellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, aDOD-wide effort to help National Guardand Reserve members and their familieslocate resources before, during and afterdeployments. Yellow Ribbon events pro-vide access to information on health care,education and training opportunities, fi-nancial and legal benefits.

“The Yellow Ribbon Program was an im-portant part of our success,” Ferullo said.“Knowing our families are connected withthe support structures that helped themduring our deployment allowed us to focuson the mission in theater. Special momentslike birthdays, anniversary and the birth ofthree babies are always the hardest to miss.”

Thirty-three PSU 305 members earnedtheir Port Security Unit pin during this ac-

tivation. In addition to being assigned anddeploying with the unit, members earningthis badge must also complete a compre-hensive task list known as the personnelqualification standard. A few of the top-ics on the checklist include safety, securi-ty, supply, communications, first aid, engi-neering and electronics support.

Established in May 1999 as a CoastGuard Reserve unit, PSU 305 provides se-curity and protects personnel and facilitiesfrom terrorism, sabotage, espionage, sub-version, and attack. The unit has a proudoperational heritage, including recent se-curity and humanitarian support to Hai-ti after the devastating island earthquake,January 2010; and, in support of Opera-tions’ Enduring Freedom, Desert Storm,Noble Eagle and Uphold Democracy.

PSUs are a component of the CoastGuard’s Deployable Operations Group.The DOG provides properly equipped,trained, and organized Deployable Spe-cialized Forces to Coast Guard, Depart-ment of Homeland Security, Departmentof Defense, and interagency operationaland tactical commanders.

Army wife Kristina Kaufmannknows the severity of post traumat-ic stress disorder: She has lost threefriends to suicide because of it. Butshe also knows the power she has tohelp stop it.

“As a commander’s spouse, I havethe opportunity to use this tragedy as away to open the dialogue,” Kaufmannsaid. “[I have the opportunity] to talkabout mental health, to talk about de-pression, to talk about asking for help.”

Kaufmann is just one of many peo-ple associated with the military whohave realized the impact PTSD hashad on Soldiers and civilians alike,and who are working to end thedeaths that result from it.

The sergeant major of the Army andits surgeon general were among thosewho spoke on Capitol Hill June 27about the Army’s efforts to battle thedevastating effects of post-traumaticstress disorder and other brain injuries.

The event, dubbed “Visible Honorfor Invisible Wounds,” was geared to-ward addressing the stigmas attachedto PTSD and remembering troops andfamily members who have committedsuicide as a result of the disorder.

Kaufmann gave the dedication forthe event by speaking about her ownexperiences with PTSD and the shamethat is brought on by it. She explainedhow the term “new normal” is usedto describe the reality of living in war-time, and how the normalization ofwartime often leads to feelings of in-adequacy or inability to cope.

“Nothing about 10 years of war isnormal,” Kaufmann said. “And whenwe can call it that, it can set the bar atan unattainable height. In effect, it saysif you can’t live up to this new normal... you’re weak, and that you’ve failed,and it adds to the stigma.”

Kaufmann’s theme of weaknessand failure was echoed by Sgt. Maj.of the Army Raymond Chandler,who gave the keynote address at thepresentation. He spoke about comingclose to death while in Iraq, and howthat experience led to PTSD. At first,

he said, he was too ashamed to admitthat he struggled with the issue, buthe eventually sought help.

“I spent about two years in almost-weekly behavioral health care coun-seling in Fort Bliss, Texas,” Chandlersaid. “And that care ... made a signif-icant change in my life.”

Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, SurgeonGeneral of the United States Army,followed Chandler’s personal tes-timony with a report on ways theArmy is working to combat PTSD,and how those treatments can be ef-fective.

Horoho said that in 2011, the Armyspent $171 million on behavioralhealth support such as the counselingChandler went through. She addedthat this year’s budget for the sametreatments is now $181 million. Themoney is going toward developing

new technologies like telebehavior-al assistance for Soldiers both in Af-ghanistan and on U.S. soil.

Horoho stressed the point thatthese aids were also directed towardmilitary family members, and howthe Army recognizes that PTSD af-fects spouses and children in addi-tion to the Soldiers themselves.

“What we’ve learned over these 11years [at war is] that we not only needto treat the Soldier, but we have to treatthe entire family,” she said. “They’reall affected by the stressors of war.”

Vietnam veteran Earl Kinard, whoattended the event, gave a firsthandaccount of what living with PTSD islike, and how he is often remindedof the trauma of combat.

“Certain things like helicopters,like military situations that I see infilms sometimes [trigger it],” he said.“As you get older, you try to hide it ...when I came out of Vietnam, I tried todo the work instead of fretting aboutit ... [But] I’ve been through hell.”

For veterans like Kinard, the Ar-my’s commitment to bringing thesuffering associated with PTSD andrelated issues to light seems to be astep in the right direction.

“The Army is doing good,” Kinardsaid. “The Army sees a problem, andthey try to solve the problem.”

FeatureStory

By Senior Airman Jarad A. Denton633RD AIR BASEWING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Sitting across from U.S. Army Maj.Jonathan Holm, it is easy to painthim as the typical Soldier. The close-cropped hair, clean-shaven face andperfectly arranged uniform all add tothe fierce look of determination thatcomes from years of military service.

It’s what lies behind his eyes that revealsa deep and pensive reverence for life.

His reverence comes from an often-ignored emotion which was cultivatedthroughout his four deployments - sur-vivor’s guilt.

“I have a family, wife and kids,” hesaid. “But, some guys who didn’t makeit back had all that too.”

Survivor’s guilt, while not the sameas post-traumatic stress disorder, canbe just as difficult to endure, depend-ing on its severity. The guilt occurswhen a person has been involved ina life-threatening event and lived totell about it. Instead of asking, “Whyme?”, an individual is often left withthe question, “Why not me?”

The feeling was especially preva-lent in Holocaust survivors, who wereleft battling questions of why they sur-vived when their friends, neighborsand family members did not. Accord-ing to research done on the subject atthe University of Santa Barbara, themore a Holocaust survivor felt pow-erless to affect the situation, the stron-ger the survivor guilt feeling was with-in them. On the battlefield today, thereare times when the best laid plans gohorribly wrong, and a Service memberpays the ultimate price.

While Holm has never lost a Soldierunder his command, he has seen hisshare of fallen comrades and memorialservices, especially during his last de-ployment to Afghanistan with the 2ndBrigade, 4th Infantry Division out ofFt. Carson, Colo. As a company com-mander, and eventual brigade plans of-

ficer, Holm and his Soldiers spent timesearching for high-ranking Taliban tar-gets who coordinated or conducted at-tacks on U.S. Service members and Af-ghan people.

“It felt like we were getting justice forthe U.S. Soldiers and Afghans killed inan attack,” he said. “These guys hadkilled Americans and innocent Af-ghans whose families weren’t differentfrom my family, or U.S. families. Real-izing that gave me greater empathy to-ward the situation.”

Holm paused and shifted in his chairslightly. The memory he was trying toformulate into words seemed uncom-fortable – but a necessary one for himto share.

“(My wife) told me it wasn’t that I had to earn my life. She said I had to honor it.”

“Most Afghans are just trying to live their lives as bestthey can in an environment of scarcity,” he said. “Gettingtheir family from one day to the next is a constant strug-gle. From a distance it’s easy for people to ask why theycan’t just get rid of the Taliban. Some try. But, some can’t.”

He paused again.“I tried to put myself in the shoes of some Afghan

shopkeeper just trying to take care of his kids, go homeat the end of the day and play soccer with them,” he said.“That showed me the war doesn’t just impact Americaand Americans; it has a very real and daily impact on thelives of the Afghan people.”

Holm said this perspective made his mission more realand significant to him. He wasn’t just fighting the Talibanas some faceless organization. He was fighting someonewho planted a bomb and killed a shopkeeper who justwanted to get home to see his children play soccer.

“It was a great feeling when we took one of those guysoff the battlefield,” he said, proudly. “We weren’t think-ing in terms of fighting the Taliban as a whole. The Tal-iban is composed of people, we were fighting them.”

However, even though Holm and his Soldiers madesignificant progress in the war against the Taliban, therewere moments he wondered how much of an impact hetruly made.

“Sometimes when you’re back home you think aboutthings and reflect on the missions you went on,” he said.“It’s easy to question the value of your service. ‘Whatwas the point? What did I accomplish? Could we havedone better?’”

He stops, his eyes again displaying the fierceness of aSoldier who has seen war and understands what is trulyimportant throughout a dangerous deployment.

“I brought everyone home,” he said, definitively. “Thatis the most important accomplishment.”

While Holm and his Soldiers were fortunate to returnunharmed, others were not so lucky. For a time, Holmsaid he would remember the memorial services and feellike Matt Damon’s character at the end of “Saving Pri-vate Ryan,” when he is an old man who turns to his wifewhile standing at the cemetery.

“Tell me I’ve led a good life,” Damon said, as JamesRyan. “Tell me I’m a good man.”

Holm said he felt as though he needed to earn his life,in order to do right by the memory of those who had fall-en in battle. It was his wife who was finally able to putthings in perspective for him.

“She told me it wasn’t that I had to earn my life,” Holmsaid. “She said I had to honor it.”

From that moment on, Holm said he began devotingpart of his life to honoring the men and women whodidn’t make it home, to those who gave everything fortheir country and its people. He has transformed his sur-vivor’s guilt into something more positive by helpingService members who are experiencing similar emotionswhenever he can.

“I have been given this amazing gift of being alive,” hesaid, smiling. “I need to honor it. I need to honor them.”

A new tennis program, offered bythe Child Youth and School Servic-es office at Fort Eustis, Va., aims toteach youth a new sport in a safe andopen environment.

Michell Jones, CYSS Sports andFitness director, said anyone 10years old and under is welcome toparticipate.

“The program allows youth tosample tennis through supervisedplay and interactive activities,” saidJones, CYSS Sports and Fitness di-rector. “It’s a great way for youthsto be introduced to tennis in a safe,open-play setting within the youthsport program.”

The program introduces its stu-dents to the sport though a quick-start format, Jones explained.

“This enables youths to practiceand play real tennis on a minor scale,and allows them to play and learnat the same time,” Jones said. “Theylearn the basic motor skills necessaryto play organized tennis while work-ing one-on-one with a staff member.”

During the training sessions, par-ticipants learn how to perform skills

like the forehand and backhandstrokes, volleying and serving withaccuracy in mind.

The new program will be offeredthree times a year - in the spring,summer and again in the fall season.

Nine-year-old Tomiko Hope, whosefavorite player is Serena Williams, is

one of the children currently partici-pating in the program.

“I saw [tennis] being played onthe television and it looked like alot of fun, so I decided I wanted toplay too,” Hope said. “I love play-ing, and I always do my best whenI’m out here.”

Jennifer Dabney, whose husbandis assigned to the USS Enterprise andhas been deployed often over the lastcouple years, has three children thattake advantage of this program.

“This is a great program. With myhusband being deployed so much,it’s given my children somethingnew to do that they can share withhim when he is home,” Dabney said.“It also helps them focus on some-thing that they are excited about do-ing instead of the day-to-day chal-lenges military children can face.”

The program’s overall goal is toget enough youth participating toform a league, and eventually playin tournaments.

“The program is open to familymembers of active duty, retired, re-serve, and DA civilians,” Jones said.

221ST MILITARY POLICE DETACHMENT

The commander and senior non-commissioned officers from the221st Military Police Detachment re-cently conducted a staff ride of theBattle of Chancellorsville in Spotsyl-vania County, Va.

U.S. Army Lt. Col. Oliver Rose,Fort Eustis provost marshal, and733rd Security Forces squadroncommander, led the MPs throughthe battlefield, conveying the lessonsof the past to our present-day Armyleadership for current application.

“By studying how past leadersdealt with challenges, we can pre-pare today’s leaders for future chal-lenges we may face” said U.S. ArmyCapt. Samantha R. Hoxha, 221st MPDetachment commander.

In a proud, military tradition dat-ing back to the late 1800s, militaryofficers learn leadership lessons byparticipating in staff rides. Lead-ers study a historical battle, and sur-vey the terrain to understand whathappened, and what lessons can belearned for the future. Staff ride ex-ercises bring to life, on the very ter-rain where historic encounters tookplace, examples of leadership tacticsand strategy, communications, use ofterrain, and above all, the psycholo-gy of men in battle.

These lessons are as applicable to-day as they were when they tookplace. Walking the terrain allowed MPleaders to visualize and understandthe battle more comprehensively.

“Walking the battlefield gave me agreater understanding of battles thattook place during the Civil War,”said Master Sgt. William Hale, 221stMP Detachment.

In conjunction with the Army’sbirthday, the participants were ableto reflect on the Army’s history andits past leadership.

“At this time in history, it’s nice to seesenior leadership still taking the time todevelop junior Soldiers using [tactics,techniques and procedures] learnedfrom the past” said Staff Sgt. MatthewSargent, 221st MP Detachment.

The Battle of Chancellorsville,

fought from April 30 to May 6,1863, during the height of the Civ-il War, is considered by many his-torians to be General Robert E.Lee and the Confederacy’s great-est victory. Yet at the same time, itwas the turning point of the Civ-il War for the Confederacy due tothe massive casualties and loss ofGen. Thomas Jonathan “Stone-wall” Jackson, one of the Confed-

eracy’s greatest strategic minds.Studying the strategies and deci-

sions of some of the most famousmilitary leaders of American histo-ry, such as Jackson, Gen. “FightingJoe” Hooker, Gen. Robert E. Lee,etc., 221st MP Detachment leaderswere able to understand the rea-sons behind critical decisions madeby these leaders during the Battle ofChancellorsville.

RAIN OR SHINE!


By Gary SheftickU.S. ARMY NEWS SERVICE

Joint Base Langley-Eustis Service mem-bers who venture to Arlington NationalCemetery, Va., in October 2012 will be ableto access a new smartphone applicationwhich provides a virtual tour of ArlingtonNational Cemetery, and lists events there tohelp visitors locate gravesites.

The new app will be available to the pub-lic in October, according to Maj. Nick Mill-er, chief information officer for the cemetery.His team is already beta testing the app,which links geospatial mapping technolo-gy to digital records and tombstone photos.

It will provide a real-time schedule ofburials, wreath-laying ceremonies andother events at the cemetery. Employeesthere have been using a similar internalapplication since March to help managedaily activities at the cemetery.

“You’ll see all of the burials at the ceme-tery on any given day, and you can zoomto the location,” Miller said.

“It allows us to assign and manageand de-conflict events at the cemetery,”he added.

The application is in sharp contrast tothe rooms full of paper records and tat-tered maps that employees used to keeptrack of burial locations two years ago,prior to the Inspector General report andpublic outcry over misidentified sites.

“It’s been a good tool for the cemetery,”Miller said of the new application. Hesaid it should be able to prevent any fu-ture problems with site identification.

About 25,000 of the 400,000 burial re-cords at the cemetery still need to bechecked, he said, which is one reason theapp isn’t going live until October.

It’s not the “who is where” type questionsthat need to be resolved, Miller explained.It’s the spelling of Civil War veteran names,dates of birth, dates of death and other suchinfo that needs to be reconciled with CivilWar pension slips and so forth, he said.

In the meantime, cemetery employeeshave been training on the new applicationand using it in their day-to-day activities.

“Surprisingly, it’s gone much smootherthan I thought,” Miller said of the conver-sion to automated record-keeping.

The Interment Services Branch has beenespecially receptive to the new way of do-

ing business, he said“Once they started using the tools, I think

they saw how much value they added totheir operations and their work,” Miller said.

The new application shows green iconsfor burial locations that have been assigned.It shows orange icons for sites that are un-dergoing maintenance. The map showswhat areas or routes should be avoided dueto congestion or activities. It even showswhere tree pruning is scheduled.

“It saves time with some of the workthey’re doing,” Miller said.

He explained that information which usedto be spread across multiple paper records isnow accessible at the click of a mouse.

“It adds a lot of transparency and au-dit ability to our operations,” Miller said.

Miller was cited by Federal ComputerWeek as a “Rising Star” in October. He wasone of 25 information-technology profes-sionals throughout the federal governmentwho were named as up-and-coming stars.

While he said that he’s honored by therecognition, Miller stresses that he didn’tdevelop the app on his own.

Arlington National Cemetery partneredwith a civilian organization to make thesmartphone app. Installation ManagementCommand also has a program office whichhas helped, Miller said.

The app should be available by Oct. 20to be downloaded for free from the I-TunesStore, Droid or the Army Marketplace; anonline site developed by the Chief Infor-mation Office or G-6.

For those who don’t have smart phones,kiosks featuring the app will also be avail-able at cemetery’s Visitor’s Center andother locations.

The app will provide:■ Directions to gravesites of loved ones;■ Daily events like wreath layings and

burials;■ Notable historic gravesites.“Not only can you find your loved one’s

gravesite, but you can see that historical per-spective across the cemetery,” Miller said.

Next year, Miller plans to expand the appto the cemetery at the Soldiers and SailorsHome in Washington, D.C., and continueadding more features to the application forArlington National Cemetery.

By Mark RayARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS

Six members of a unique Army unit –engineer divers from the 569th EngineerDive Detachment at Fort Eustis, Va. – re-cently spent 30 days in southern Afghan-istan, conducting underwater surveys tohelp the U.S. Army Corps of EngineersAfghanistan Engineer District-South pre-pare for major repair projects at Kajakiand Dahla dams.

“We basically conducted two missions ateach dam,” said 1st Lt. Michael Jappe, wholed the team. “We conducted hydrographicsurveys, mapping the underwater contoursof the reservoirs, and we used a remotelyoperated vehicle – essentially, an underwa-ter drone – to check the condition of varioussubmerged structures, such as trash racksand inlets for irrigation tunnels.”

“The team deployed with an inflatableZodiac boat,” added Staff Sgt. AndrewMiltenberger, the senior noncommis-sioned officer on the team. “On the Zodi-ac, we have a sonar system that is linkedto a global-positioning system which canproduce very accurate underwater topo-

graphical maps of the reservoirs.”“The hydrographic surveys allow us

to estimate the current volume of the res-ervoir,” explained Nader Noori, projectmanager for Kajaki Dam. “We have theoriginal survey maps from when the damswere constructed. By comparing the origi-nal topography with the dive team's prod-ucts, we can determine how much sedi-mentation has occurred and how muchreservoir capacity has been lost since thedam was built.”

“We try not to dive around dams, ifpossible,” Miltenberger said. “The tur-bulence and currents can make it prettyhazardous. The remotely operated vehi-cle allowed us to safely inspect variousunderwater features -- the dam face, thetrash racks and their guide rails, the inletsof the irrigation tunnels.”

“This mission was a great experience,”Miltenberger said. “The planning, prep-aration and coordination with the dis-trict were superb. We are only the secondgroup of Army divers to work in Af-ghanistan and support Operation Endur-ing Freedom. We've had the chance to gowhere few Army divers go.”
