AMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

As of March 21, Pentagon officials have putoff sending furlough notices to civilian employ-ees until they’ve had a chance to analyze howpending legislation that would fund the federalgovernment for the rest of the fiscal year will af-fect the Defense Department.

Officials now estimate that furlough noticeswill go out on or aboutApril 5, Navy Cmdr. Les-lie Hull-Ryde, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said.

“The legislation could have some impact onthe overall number of furlough days, but no de-cisions have been reached, especially since thelegislation hasn’t been signed into law,” Hull-Ryde said. “The number of furlough days at thispoint remains at 22.”

Pentagon Press Secretary George Little saidthe delay makes sense. “We believe the delay isa responsible step to take in order to assure ourcivilian employees that we do not take lightlythe prospect of furloughs and the resulting de-crease in employee pay,” he said.

AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ANDAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

The Defense Department possessesmore real estate than it needs and is look-ing to close additional bases and instal-lations in the United States and abroad,a senior DOD official told a House pan-el March 14.

Air Force leaders agree, according toKathleen I. Ferguson, acting assistant sec-retary of the Air Force for installations,environment and logistics.

“While we have no recent excess infra-structure capacity analysis from whichto draw, our capacity analysis from 2004suggested that 24 percent of Air Forcebasing infrastructure was excess to ourmission needs,” Ferguson said.

Since the 2005 Base Realignment andClosure, which brought very few changes

to theAir Force and only 3.4 percent reduc-tions to the entire DOD, the Air Force hasreduced its force structure by more than500 aircraft and active-duty end strengthby nearly 8 percent, Ferguson said.

“So, intuitively we know that we stillhave excess infrastructure, while wespend considerable time optimizing theuse of our facilities and carefully and fru-gally managing those facilities we knowto be excess,” Ferguson said.

Based on these facts, which were mir-rored in the other services, another roundof base realignments and closings shouldbe an essential part of any overall strate-gy for reshaping the military, John Con-ger, the acting deputy undersecretaryof defense for installations and environ-ment, told the House Armed ServicesCommittee in prepared testimony.

“Force structure is declining relative to

that which existed in 2005, thereby continu-ing to add to aggregate excess capacity,”Conger said, noting that the U.S. Army isreducing its active-duty end strength from570,000 to 490,000 by 2020, and the MarineCorps from about 202,000 to 182,000.

“If we assume our bases were either ap-propriately loaded or were carrying ex-cess capacity, these force reductions willincrease that surplus,” he said.

In last year’s budget request, the Pen-tagon asked Congress for permission toinitiate two more rounds of base closingsunder BRAC. Conger said the last roundof BRAC closings, in 2005, produced $4billion in annual recurring savings.

By law, under the BRAC process, an in-dependent commission submits to Con-gress a list of military installations it be-lieves should be closed or realigned, withlawmakers and the president then re-

quired to approve or reject the recom-mendations without change.

The Defense Department is examiningfurther reductions in U.S. military basesin Europe, where Conger said more than100 sites have already been returned tohost governments since 2003, and whereno authority from Congress is requiredfor recommending additional closures.

“By the end of this year, we plan to con-clude with a fully vetted list of optionsfrom which the Secretary [of Defense]can make strategic decisions for eliminat-ing excess, preserving and even enhanc-ing our ability to meet strategic and oper-ational commitments,” Conger said in hisprepared remarks.

The U.S. Army already plans to close33 sites in Europe associated with the de-cision to reduce brigade combat teamsbased on the continent.

Senior enlisted advisors of theArmy, Air Force, Navy and Marinesunderscored to lawmakers March 19the immense challenges the servicesface in tough fiscal times.

Sgt. Maj. of theArmy Raymond Chan-dler said the current budgetary situationhas far-reaching impacts on the Armyand the lives of its members. He and hiscounterparts testified before the HouseCommittee on Appropriations, subcom-mittee on Military Construction, Veter-ans Affairs and Related Agencies.

“The magnitude of today’s fiscaluncertainty has grave consequencesfor our Soldiers, civilians and fami-lies,” Chandler said at the hearing onquality of life in the military.

“The current continuing resolutionis affecting shortfalls for our funding ofoverseas contingency operations dueto emerging costs in theater,” he said.

“With the enactment of sequestration,the Army is also being forced to makedramatic cuts to personnel, readinessand modernization programs, therebyputting our national security at risk.”

He emphasized the importance ofhaving the best-equipped militaryforce, while also providing care forservice members and their families.

He said in today’s uncertain andcomplex environment, the Army iscommitted to ensuring that it is thebest manned, equipped, trained andled force in the world. But he said thelimited resources are having an im-pact on its ability to do that.

“Our strategy to defend the nationand its necessary actions requires theArmy to have flexibility and predict-ability, something we do not current-ly have, and that Army leadership ischallenged to alter,” he said. “The fiscaloutlook which the Army faces today ischallenging and, to my recollection, un-precedented. Fiscal uncertainties do not

allow us to prevent, shape and win.”Chandler and the other top enlisted

advisors stressed the importance ofquality of life programs and resourc-es to support a wide range of areas,including sexual assault preventionand response, mental health, suicideprevention, caring for wounded ser-vice members, family support, childand youth development, housing andhelping members transition from themilitary into the civilian world.

The rhythmic beeps from the Electro-cardiogram machine reverberated off thehigh ceilings as medical professionalsworked diligently. The surgeon movedthe laparoscopic scope and shaver skill-fully, focusing intently on the images dis-played on the high-definition screen.

Less than 20 minutes later, the orthope-dic surgeon removed the tools from thepatient’s knee and stitched the two smallincisions closed. The patient’s torn me-niscus had been repaired.

This new beginning would not havebeen possible without the skilled ortho-pedic surgeons at Fort Eustis’ McDonaldArmy Health Center.

Orthopedics is the branch of medicinefocused on conditions involving the mus-culoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeonsuse both surgical and nonsurgical meansto treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports-re-lated injuries, degenerative diseases, infec-tions, tumors and congenital disorders.

According to the American Academy

of Orthopedic Surgeons, one in sevenAmericans suffer from an orthopedic im-pairment, making orthopedic complaintsthe top reason patients seek medical care.

The orthopedic center is a referralbased, sub-specialty clinic that boaststhree orthopedic surgeons and two phy-sician assistants that provide years ofknowledge and experience. The clinictreats roughly 100 patients daily and per-forms 15 surgeries weekly, focusing onpersonalized, in-depth care.

“Military medicine allows us to giveour patients exactly what they need,”said Dr. (Maj.) Todd Feathers, McAHC or-thopedic surgeon. “Our doctors do whatis best for the patient, not what’s best forthe bottom line.”

A new operating room is set to openApril 26, and will increase the amount ofsurgeries each department will be able tooffer. The new OR will be equipped withthe latest technology to provide com-plete, comprehensive care.

“The new operating room with be animportant addition to our institution,”said Dr. (Maj.) Rasel Rana, Orthope-dic Clinic chief. “It will allow us to ac-commodate and treat more complexand chronic cases, ultimately expeditingoverall patient care.”

With a young, active population, theorthopedic surgeons are well-equippedto treat sports-related injuries, but theystrive to care for all patients that can takeadvantage of their services.

“Not everyone knows we’re here,”Rana said. “Our job is to take care of ourService members and get them back totheir mission, but we’re here for all war-riors, past and present.”

To ensure their skills stay up to scratch,the doctors at the clinic plan to “takecall,” or perform procedures, at local ci-vilian treatment facilities to work withcases they do not often see at MCAHC.

“It’s an exciting time for us; it’s amaz-ing to be part of a growing hospital,” saidRana. “We are committed to use our newcapabilities to care of our patients just likethey’re our family.”

The world is becoming an increasing-ly complex and dangerous place, requir-ing a more agile, lethal and capable force,said Army leaders.

To illustrate, forward-deployed forcesin Korea are adequate to respond to a cri-sis, but elsewhere, the Army needs to im-prove its response times, said Gen. Rob-ert W. Cone, commander, Training andDoctrine Command.

He was referring to a worst-case scenar-io involving a simulated collapsed nucle-ar state with “loose nukes.” The U.S. re-sponse time for deploying 90,000 troopsto the crisis area in a recent exercise took55 days - a response time deemed inade-quate. That simulation was held in Feb-ruary at Carlisle Barracks, Pa., during theUnified Quest 13 Winter Wargame.

Cone’s remarks were delivered dur-ing a media roundtable at the TRADOC-led Army Campaign of Learning SeniorLeader Seminar, or SLS, March 19 at theNational Defense University on Fort Mc-

Nair. More than 100 senior leaders attend-ed the seminar, including Army Chief ofStaff Gen. Ray Odierno, as well as jointand multinational military leaders and ci-vilian subject-matter experts.

The SLS provided an interactive forumon insights derived from the Network In-tegration Evaluation, Army Experimen-tation and Wargaming, and seminarsheld over the past year.

Discussions focused on how the Armycan be regionally engaged and globally re-sponsive in the years and decades ahead,despite the twin elephants in the room –

decreased funding and manpower.Speed, the right mix of capabilities and

adequate numbers of boots on the groundare the critical factors in responding to na-tional security threats globally, said Lt. Gen.Keith Walker, TRADOC’s deputy com-mander for Futures and director of theArmy Capabilities Integration Center.

WMD threats

Some 28 nations have some type ofweapons of mass destruction capability,Walker noted, indicating that the problemis not just isolated to the Korean peninsula.

One of the SLS participants calledloose nukes the “single biggest existentialthreat to Western survival.” And, thosenuclear materials are kept in hundreds ofsites without global safeguards in placefor securing them.

To promote candor and meaningful di-alogue, SLS discussions were for non-attribution only, except for the mediaroundtable participants.

In the past, the U.S. has sometimes hadthe luxury of ample warnings and long leadtimes, said Cone, referring to the buildupof troops and supplies prior to OperationsDesert Storm and Iraqi Freedom.

The Winter Wargame, however, pro-vided no such lead time in the simula-tion. The lesson was not lost on Armyleaders. The immediate goal should be tolower the response time from 55 to some-thing much less, for example, 28 days,said an Army general.

To obtain faster response times to crisesand improve its strategic and operationalmaneuver posture, the Army is conducting

a comprehensive review “across the DOT-MLPF,” said Walker. DOTMLPF is a termthe Army uses to describe “doctrine, orga-nization, training, materiel, leadership andeducation, personnel and facilities.”

The problem of moving troops quickly toan area is not solely anArmy problem. “It’s ajoint mission,” said Maj. Gen. Bill Hix, TRA-DOC’s director of the Concepts Develop-ment and Learning Directorate, during theroundtable. Multinational partner coordina-tion is also essential, he added.

Participants said the wargame demon-strated the difficulties with strategic ma-neuver without adequate intermediatestaging bases, especially as the Army be-comes increasingly U.S.-based. Proposedsolutions included prepositioning sup-plies on ships or ashore in distant places,and partnering with allied capabilities.

Entry-level problems

The wargame also illustrated problemsonce Soldiers arrive – specifically the so-called “anti-access/area denial” challenge.

“We saw the brittleness of our ability todefeat projected 2020 anti-access/area-deni-al challenges of potential adversaries duringthe game as units became isolated and some

withdrew,” said Col. Kevin M. Felix, TRA-DOC’s chief of the Future Warfare Division,during the roundtable. “We got some forcesin but there were problems with the build-up of follow-on forces and sustainment.”

The enemy already knows which portsand airfields the U.S. would rely on in a cri-sis and would target those, said participants.

Even without the enemy targeting keyentry facilities, there could still be challeng-es getting troops and supplies in, Felix said,illustrating the problems faced by U.S. forc-es in providing post-earthquake humanitar-ian assistance to Haiti in 2010, due to com-peting demands for priority landing timesfor arriving combat forces and humanitari-an aid support/supplies.

“If you can’t get there quickly to achievethe desired effects, you lose [U.S. andglobal] support quickly,” Felix said, refer-ring not only to humanitarian operations,but also to the loose-nuke scenario.

Masses of refugees could also hinderaccess, Hix said. He noted that duringthe wargame, the refugee situation wasresolved somewhat by setting up a hu-manitarian staging area away from thearea of operations and encouraging thelocals to go there by air dropping leafletswith instructions.

Another lesson learned from thewargame is that the U.S. forces cannot al-ways go it alone. Rather, the U.S. needsto continue to build partnerships and re-gional engagement with other countriesand their militaries, Hix said.

He added that the Army should alsocontinue to “leverage its other capabili-ties, like special operations forces” anduse those of its sister services.

“The good news story over the last de-cade has been the participation of theGuard and Reserve in partnering” withthe active component, said Cone. “Theyhave expressed the desire to remain partof the operational force and have demon-strated their performance” in war.

“[The Guard and Reserve have also]provided an array of talent,” he contin-ued. Going forward, “we have to findthe best ways to train and integrate themwith the active component.”

Lessons learned

Over the last decade of war, the U.S.has learned the importance of the humandomain, said Cone. Building personal re-lationships and learning host-nation cul-ture, language and customs have beenshown to yield dividends.

Underestimating the enemy’s “will towin,” or at least not lose, can be a big mis-take, Cone said, providing one of the manyexamples from history:

“We collapsed Iraq’s command andcontrol and then its ability to conduct op-erations, but that didn’t stop them fromfinding alternative ways to wage war,”he said, referring to the insurgents’ use ofroadside bombs, other forms of terrorismand effective propaganda.

Although the U.S. dominated on thebattlefields of Iraq and now Afghani-stan, in terms of firepower and technol-ogy, “their will was still there,” he said.“While technology is critical, war comesdown to a human struggle.”

Despite IEDs and other unconventionalthreats in Iraq and Afghanistan, Soldierswere able to adapt and overcome thoseand other obstacles, Walker said, not-ing that Soldiers helped to come up withcounter IED tactics, materiel solutions,jammers and improved vehicle armor.

Walker attributed Soldiers’ ingenuity totop-notch training, education and leader-ship development programs. Walker saidhe hopes the lessons learned from thewars and the professionalism demon-strated by Soldiers will continue.

Snaps of rifle safety levers clicking intothe “fire” position broke the silence as theSoldiers rested their rifles on the sand-bags before them, positioning themselvesto fire. The range went still as the Soldierstensed, aiming down their sights.

“Fire!” yelled the instructor, walkingbetween the rows of shooters.

The sound of muffled rifle fire rang out,drowning out the instructor’s words ofadvice as the Soldiers took their shots.

As the last few shots echoed, the Sol-diers removed their magazines and en-sured their weapons were clear beforelooking at the screen for their results.

Most would envision this scene on anoutdoor rifle range, but in fact, it was a typ-ical day at the Engagement Skills Trainer2000, or EST 2000, at Fort Eustis, Va., as lo-cal U.S. Army Soldiers refined their marks-manship skills March 12, 2013.

The EST 2000 is a virtual, computer-based trainer that uses modified, retrofit-ted weapons to provide initial sustainmentmarksmanship, advanced marksmanshipwith stationary and moving targets andreactionary-firing training. The trainer of-fers versatile, customizable training regi-mens to suit units’ specific needs.

“The goal of simulators is to seamlesslymerge the virtual, constructed and live en-vironments into a viable training environ-ment,” said Keith Jones, Army Support Ac-tivity Training Division simulations branchmanager. “The EST 2000 is a safe, imme-diate and cost-effective training apparatusthat benefits Soldiers greatly.”

Military simulations have a long histo-ry, dating back as far as 25 B.C. with theuse of stones and drawings to review bat-tle plans. Over the course of history, con-stantly-evolving technology paved theway for more realistic simulations.

The Department of Defense introducedmodern simulators based on their needto integrate live, virtual and construc-tive training to meet Soldier’s needs, andto prepare them for the rigors of combatsituations. The development of the EST2000 began with the Weaponeer, an ar-cade-like shooting trainer that simulatedlive-fire conditions.

The EST 2000 is continually evolving,

and may eventually offer dynamic, im-mersive three-dimensional training en-vironments. Simulators like the EST 2000allow Soldiers to train in a controlled en-vironment, and offer immediate feedbackon skills that translate directly to the live-fire range.

“This simulator is effective and gives re-alistic training, increasing the effectivenessof my Soldiers,” said U.S. Army Staff Sgt.Jimmy Reeves, 5thAviation Battalion main-tenance supervisor. “This trainer is a sim-ple and economic way of engaging targets.It provides a live feel, without the logisticsand time needed to set up a live range.”

As testament to this, the 40-lane traineris focused on providing realism by mim-icking the actual bullet trajectory, pro-viding the same shooting experience aSoldier could receive on a real-world sit-uation. The instructors can even controlwind direction and speed to offer themost realistic experience possible.

For the younger generation of Soldiers,the EST 2000 is a tool that uses familiartechnology to teach necessary skills. Forolder Soldiers, it offers a unique train-ing environment to refine skills under thewatchful eyes of highly-skilled instruc-tors without using supplies or putting

them in harm’s way.“Young Soldiers have grown up using

similar technology to the trainer,” saidReeves. “It keeps them engaged whileteaching them the necessary skills to sur-vive in a combat zone.”

The trainer employs three prior-service,National Rifle Association-certified instruc-tors that provide flexible hours to accom-modate Soldiers’ schedules. These weap-ons experts paired with the trainer showSoldiers where their deficiencies are withimmediate feedback, saving time that canbe used for additional training.

“Soldiers can go into these training en-vironments to learn and get instant feed-back on their performance, without thepressures of live-fire ranges,” said Jones.“The skills honed at the trainer are a cost-efficient alternative.”

Since opening in May 2006, the EST 2000instructors have trained more than 90,000Soldiers on weapons including small arms,machine guns, grenade launchers and sim-ulated Humvee-mounted machine guns.In seven years, shooters have fired nearly15.2 million simulated rounds, saving theArmy nearly $22 million.

Army units from across the countrycome to Fort Eustis to use the trainer, andit has supported all branches of the mili-tary, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,the Central Intelligence Agency, local po-lice officers and Reserve Officer TrainingCorps cadets.

“In the environment our Soldiers findthemselves in, it is very important to beflexible and highly adaptable. The ‘oneshoe fits all’ philosophy doesn’t alwayswork,” said Jones. “The EST is an im-portant trainer that can keep Soldiers fitand proficient on the live-fire range – ul-timately saving lives.”

“This simulator is effective and givesrealistic training, increasing the effectivenessof my Soldiers. This trainer is a simple andeconomic way of engaging targets. Itprovides a live feel, without the logisticsand time needed to set up a live range.”

The Crossbow Dining Facility will be closing its doorsfor renovations starting April 1, with the projected re-opening date of April 30.

“[The dining facility] is getting much needed renovationstotheboilerunitandheatingventilationandcoolingsystem,”said Tech. Sgt. Melissa Terry, 633rd Force Support Squadrondining facility noncommissioned officer in charge. “The ren-ovations will help the facility become more efficient.”

The dining facility caters to at least five units andAir Com-bat Command Headquarters at Langley Air Force Base, Va.

The closure primarily af-fects dorm residents on mealcards who are encouraged totake advantage of the din-ing facility for every meal.Fortunately, measures are inplace to alleviate the incon-venience and make the tran-sition as smooth as possible.

Facilities including the Raptor Café, the Langley Club andthe Marina are available for Airmen unable to leave the base.

For the entire month of April, meal-card customerswill receive basic allowance for subsistence without de-ductions, said Master Sgt. Danny Avery, 633rd Comptrol-ler Squadron financial services flight chief. Meal card ac-cess will end starting April 1 and be reinstated April 30.

“You will see your [BAS] update starting at yourmid-month paycheck and ending at your end of monthcheck,” said Avery.

Removal of meal deductions will appear in the de-ductions section of the members’ April leave and earn-ings statement. Avery stressed the importance of affectedmembers validating their LES.

“Keep an eye on your LES,” said Avery. “We have over750 transactions to follow; it is human nature to make afew mistakes.”

The Health and Wellness Center also has a hand in help-ing Airmen during the closure. The HAWC has held twocooking classes aimed at dorm residents, instructed byTracy Conder, HAWC dietitian.

“I had concerns on the eating choices of the Airmen,and if some even had the ability to cook,” said Conder.“The class seemed to help with cooking confidence.”

The HAWC provided the attendees a cookbook with sim-ple meals for them to cook in their dorms. For those unableto attend the workshop, a HAWC cookbook will be avail-able in dorm management for ease of access, said Conder.

The best way for Airmen to prepare during the closureis to make a plan. If they come across any issues, they areencouraged to use their chain of command.

Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps Micheal Barrett said qual-ity of life programs are important to Marines, and reduc-tions will be made wisely.

“Our approach to required sequestration cuts to our Ma-rine and family support portfolio will focus on preservingprograms that support the health, welfare and morale of ourMarines and families,” Barrett testified. “These programsare considered most essential in meeting the organizationalobjectives of the Marine Corps, and they promote the physi-cal and mental well-being of Marines and families.

“We will be fiscally responsible during this challengingbudget environment, and will critically assess the needsof our family members and prioritize resources,” he said.“We will do so, however, in a manner that sustains theworld’s finest fighting force while keeping faith with ourMarines and their families.”

Chief Master Sgt. of theAir Force James Cody said that thequality of service initiatives are an important aspect of mili-tary life and an overwhelming factor in the decision Airmenand their families make in remaining in the service.

“We place a great deal of importance on the sense ofcommunity in and around our bases,” he said. “We focuson four main areas: health and wellness; Airmen and fam-ily support; education, development and employment;and Airmen and family housing.”

While not at the hearing in person, Master Chief Pet-ty Officer of the Navy Michael Stevens said in submit-ted testimony that the current fiscal situation is havingan impact across the Navy.

“We must continue to ask hard questions and makehard decisions that will enable us to provide a qualityof life commensurate with the sacrifices our Sailors andtheir families make daily,” he testified.

“Afull-year continuing resolution, sequestration and as-sociated out-year budget reductions will make it extreme-ly difficult to continue our current and anticipated levelof operations, compel us to cancel some maintenance andtraining, and constrain our ability to invest in future capa-bility and capacity,” according to his testimony.

He said the reductions have a negative impact on moraleand quality of life of Sailors and their families, but the Navywill continue to fully protect wounded warrior programsand will preserve, to the extent possible, family programs.

epartment of De-

fense population summary from fis-cal year 2011, female Soldiers make up13 percent of the enlisted force and 18percent of the officer corps. This num-ber is even smaller within the predom-inantly-male police corps.

Due to this disparity, Spc. AdriannaWilliamson, 221st MPD military policepatrolman, feels she has to work twiceas hard as her male counterparts.

“As a Soldier, you should always be a

step ahead and hungry for your ca-reer,” said Williamson. “As a woman,you should be two to three steps ahead.Be humble, know your job to the best ofyour abilities and lead the way.”

Women in the military continue tomake strides and fill critical roles nowmore than ever. This year, the Depart-ment of Defense lifted the ban restrict-ing women from military combat rolesin order to allow equality in service.

Many of the females from the 3rdand 221st MPDs have deployed tothe Middle East, taking on many mis-sions, including detainee and convoyoperations, base security and acting ashost-nation mentors.

“I take pride in knowing we havegreat women Soldiers, especially inthe military police corps, who are ableto step up and accomplish the mis-sion,” Hoxha said. “There is still a stig-

ma in wondering if a female can han-dle military police responsibilities; asa commander, I can see they do.”

As a testament to this, Sgt. MelindaStorsin, now a patrol explosives detec-tor military working dog handler for the3rd MPD, has worked in two predomi-nately male police positions. She servedas the only female on a Special ReactionTeam (equivalent to a civilian SWATteam), and now through hard work anddedication, has landed her dream job asa military working dog handler.

“It’s one of those jobs you don’twant to lose,” said Storsin. “You work10 times harder to not mess up in anykind of way so there is nothing that cantake your job or position from you.”

As Women’s History Month drawsto a close, Pfc. Roxanne Cavezuela, 3rdMPD patrol narcotic detector dog han-dler, hopes to see a day when men andwomen are seen as completely equal.

“Women are showing just howstrong we have gotten through theyears and how strong we can get,”said Cavezuela. “I want us to be just asgreat as men so we can show how ca-pable we are at all times, not just dur-ing [Women’s History Month].”

“As a Soldier, you shouldalways be a step ahead andhungry for your career. Asa woman, you should betwo to three steps ahead.Be humble, know your jobto the best of your abilitiesand lead the way.”

The Air Force has successfully upgrad-ed and transferred the Military Person-nel Data System to the Defense Informa-tion Systems Agency Defense EnterpriseComputing Center, Air Force PersonnelCenter officials said today.

“We’re pleased that the MilPDS upgradetook less time than anticipated, and we arewell on our way to getting information up-dated in the system,” said Joe Thele, AirForce Personnel Operations Agency di-rector. “The quick turn and successful up-grade is due to the meticulous planningand hard work of our Total Force team.”

MilPDS is the primary records databasefor personnel data and actions that occurthroughout every Airman’s career. Mil-PDS is also used to initiate pay actions,maintain Air Force accountability andstrength data, and support a host of inter-

actions with other Air Force and Depart-ment of Defense processes and systemsthat rely on personnel data.

AFPOA and Air Force Lifecycle Manage-ment Center teams worked closely with theDefense Manpower Data Center, AFPC,Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, AirForce Space Command and base person-nel teams to develop a comprehensive planto bring down the old personnel data sys-tem, upgrade it and stand it back up. March4, AFPC Commander Maj. Gen. A.J. Stew-art hit the button to shut down MilPDS forwhat was expected to be 23 days. However,the upgrade was accomplished in 17 days.

Active duty, Air National Guard andAir Force Reserve personnel agencies areworking hand in hand with base forcesupport squadrons and military person-nel sections to update personnel data andtransactions in MilPDS.

In the United States, Women’s Histo-ry Month traces its beginnings to Wom-en’s Day in 1911. Its popularity grewinto a week-long celebration that contin-ued until the late 1970’s. Utah Sen. Or-rin Hatch and Maryland Rep. Barba-ra Mikulski were inspired to bring thatshow of popularity to other membersof Congress in hopes of making it a na-tional week of celebration. In 1987, Con-gress expanded the focus to the monthof March, proclaiming it to be NationalWomen’s History Month.

In honor of WHM, the 7th Sustain-ment Brigade hosted ‘Women InspiringInnovation through Imagination’ at FortEustis’ Jacob’s Theater March 19.

By Luis RamirezVOICE OF AMERICA

The Pentagon’s recent decision to elim-inate rules that exclude women from di-rect combat roles was merely symbolic formany women soldiers who have alreadybeen in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

When it comes to fighting on the frontlines, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Cassandra Par-tee has been there and done that. Her firstdeployment was to Iraq as part of an artil-lery unit eight years ago.

“We would go out on patrols and justconduct raids and things of that nature,”she said.

On her second deployment to Iraq, shewas wounded in action.

“I [in] one incident was hit by impro-vised explosive device that was attachedto a guard rail,” she explained.

Partee suffered shrapnel wounds to herface and back. Since her last deployment,she has survived cancer and given birthto two babies.

In her current job with the 7th Sustain-ment Brigade, she helps train other soldiers.She reflects on her experience in Iraq.

“There wasn’t anything discriminatoryas far as what females could do over there,”she said. “When it came time to be a gunnerand be on the gun, females took the guns.”

So it was no surprise to her when, inone of his final decisions as Secretary ofDefense, Leon Panetta announced the lift-ing of rules excluding women from somecombat roles.

“They serve. They’re wounded and theydie right next to each other. The time hascome to recognize that reality,” Panetta said.

“These are the roles that we’ve playedin the war. We’ve been there all along,”said Partee. “They didn’t look at me andsay, ‘You’re a female, you can’t do this.’ Itwas ‘Hey, we need a soldier. You need toget up there and do this.’”

Some women Soldiers say they hearcomments from male counterparts whodon’t believe women should be in certaincombat units – though few express thosesentiments openly.

One of Partee’s male counterparts, Sgt.Shawn Yearby – also an Iraq veteran –says he was surprised by Panetta’s an-nouncement.

“What first went through my mind was,‘Uh-oh, you know, females are going intocombat arms,’” he said. “But then I thoughtabout it and realized it all depends on ifthey can handle it, they can handle it.”

Partee has been able to balance life inthe military with the other job in her lifethat she says is her highest calling.

“I will always be a mother first, but [by]the same token, I have the Soldier in me,”she said. “The scale is even.”

Even with the opening of more com-bat roles, few expect a big rise in the num-ber of women in those roles. The militaryis planning no change in its physical re-quirements or training standards.

But for Soldiers like Partee, the recogni-tion that she can do the job goes a long way.

combat during the 7th Sus. Bde.’s “Women Inspiring Inno-

vation through Imagination” event at Jacobs Theater at Fort

Eustis, March 19.The observance, hosted by 7th Sus. Bde. com-

mander Col. Jennifer Reinkober, featured rich history and high-

lighted the extraordinary achievements ofAmerican women

Sergeant Natasha Tyrell of the 11th Transportation Bat-talion performed the National Anthem, followed by aninvocation by 2nd Lt. Lydia Whaley of the STB. Follow-ing a brief overview of President Barrack Obama’s reporthighlighting 50 years of women’s history, the cast put ona show fictionalizing the progress of women’s roles fromthe 1950s’ to the present day.

Sergeant 1st Class Jaime Hawley, the brigade’s SexualAs-sault Response Coordinator, portrayed the stereotypical“housewife” character, followed by the present female Sol-dier in combat, played by Sgt. Cynthia Fischer of the STB.The audience praised the two for their performances.

“I want to make sure we recognize all the hard work inthe ceremony, from our mistress of ceremony, Warrant Of-ficer [CyTique] Johnson, Capt. Katie Thomen [HHC, STBcommander], Sgt. 1st Class Jesus Harry Velasquez [7th Sus.Bde. Equal Opportunity Advisor], and also give a round ofapplause to our performers,” said Reinkober.

Colonel Maria A. Biank, commander of the 93rd SignalBde., served as the event’s guest speaker. She touched onthe role of women in the military since the Revolution-ary War and how important women are to the future ofour nation.

“As a nation, we must build dynamic leaders for thefuture, and women play a very important role; not onlyin the military, education and business, but also in areasrelated to science, technology, engineering and mathe-matics. My challenge to each and every one of you is toget involved and learn,” said Biank. “I challenge seniorleaders to teach, coach and mentor others, and provideopportunities for women.”

By Staff Sgt. Katie Gar Ward633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Editor’s note: Due to job sensitivi-ties, the Airmen in this article are onlyidentified by rank and first name.

The roads were still slick from amorning rain shower. After comingback from the mall, two Airmen wereexcited for their evening plans – din-ner in the city to celebrate a friend’sbirthday. As they took their exit offthe interstate, nothing could haveprepared them for what they wereabout to witness.

The car in front of them lost con-trol and flipped in the air, landing onthe other side of the guardrail andinto a ravine.

For Senior Airmen Rahjanaye andKatelynn, the next few minutes wouldbe critical. Ever since meeting at BasicMilitary Training almost three yearsago, Rahjanaye and Katelynn hadbeen each other’s wingmen, and thismoment on Feb. 23 was the ultimatetest of their life-saving abilities.

“We both still couldn’t believewe’d ever see something like that inperson,” said Rahjanaye, 497th Op-erations Support Squadron analyst.“You always see it on TV, but youdon’t think you’ll ever witness some-thing like that. You don’t ever thinkyou’re prepared for it.”

Before the scope of the situationcould fully sink in, the two Airmenimmediately reacted. Rahjanayepulled her car onto the shoulder andcalled 911 while Katelynn, an analystwith the 192nd Intelligence Squad-ron, rushed to the vehicle.

“I had no idea what we were go-ing to get into,” said Katelynn. “Itwas just adrenaline at that point.”

Luckily, a patch of trees hadstopped the car from plunging fur-ther into the ravine, yet it was un-clear the severity of the accident. Forthe two analysts, their life-savingtraining immediately kicked in.

“Running over, we were both talk-ing about what to do – sit him down,elevate his knees. We had Self-Aidand Buddy Care running through

our heads,” said Rahjanaye. “I waslooking at what Katelynn was wear-ing, thinking what we could use asa tourniquet or wrapping. All thosethings ran through my mind. I justknew it was going to be terrible.”

Because the pair practiced SABCskills numerous times at BMT to-gether, going through the motionswas instinctual, said Katelynn.

“She was my wingman then, so itjust felt natural because we’ve donethis so many times together as prac-tice,” said Katelynn. “We both knewit was for real this time, and wewould have to rely on each other.”

Their panic turned to fear as theyclimbed down the embankment, theirhearts sinking as they saw the crushedvehicle had landed on its driver-sidedoor. They observed a young manemerging from the passenger door - itwas the driver.

Although he was coherent anduninjured, he was exhibiting signsof shock. Rahjanaye and Katelynn

said their main priority was to stayengaged with him to take his mindoff of what had just happened. Theystayed with the young man untilfirst-responders arrived on scene,not thinking for one moment aboutthe delay this might cause to theirevening plans.

“He was so appreciative, but to usit was no big deal,” Rahjanaye said.“I always wondered what I woulddo in a situation like that, but it wasjust natural.”

Both Rahjanaye and Katelynn ex-pressed a new-found appreciationfor their military background result-ing from this experience.

“If I wasn’t in the military, I don’tthink I would have known what todo had he required medical atten-tion,” said Katelynn. “It remindedme to be on your toes because younever know when something mighthappen. There is reason behind allthe training we do.”

While neither Airman has beendeployed, nor in a situation wherelife-saving methods were required,they both agree that this incident so-lidified the importance of their mili-tary training.

“It’s definitely beneficial to pushthrough training and take what youcan,” said Katelynn. “In the BMT sit-uation, you’re learning so much, youdon’t realize it’s being engrained inyou. It’s actually still there, eventhough you don’t think about orpractice it every day.”

“These things really can hap-pen, and you don’t have to be de-ployed to be put in these types ofsituations,” said Rahjanaye. “[Hav-ing the training] definitely makesme a lot more grateful and gives mepeace of mind that I’ll be prepared[in another situation].”

By using instinctual training bothAirmen had thought would long beforgotten, Rahjanaye and Katelynnwere able to act quickly in an emer-gency situation, giving critical aid toa person in need. As seen by theirhonorable actions, Rahjanaye andKatelynn set the example of what itmeans to truly be selfless Airmen.

By Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Master Sgt. Alvin Harris, HeadquartersAir Force vehicle management and sup-port action officer, laid bare his emotions topersonnel at U.S. Air Force Hospital Lang-ley, Langley Air Force Base, Va., March 22for giving him a second chance at life.

Harris was admitted to the emergencyroom Jan. 11 complaining of acute chestpain. That same night, Harris was lyingin a hospital bed in the intensive care unitwearing a breathing apparatus.

Before Harris discovered the severityof his condition, he knew the staff wason his side.

“I thought I had the flu, so I went into get meds,” said Harris. “When I men-tioned I had chest pains, I got into a roomalmost immediately.

“When you see other people on a stretch-er, you don’t realize how serious it can be,”he said. “Once I was in that bed, I startedthinking of my family’s medical history,my kids, my wife... it was overwhelming.”

During his stay, Harris experienced aroller coaster of emotion where his futurehung in the balance.

“For me, I didn’t know how serious mycondition was,” said Harris. “My fatherdied of heart attack, so I couldn’t help butwonder ‘Am I next?’”

The staff evaluated Harris on the spot,and even though the attending techni-cian was training new Airmen, Harris feltcomforted and in good hands.

“The big part was keeping me in-formed,” said Harris. “Just knowing mycurrent condition and what they were do-ing really put me at ease.”

With Harris’s family history of heart dis-ease, he immediately began to worry abouthis cardiovascular health. After being ad-mitted into the ICU, he discovered the chestpain didn’t come from his heart.

“As I was lying in bed, the staff told memy breathing was shallow; almost nonex-istent,” said Harris. “The doctor gave mesome oxygen, and let me tell you some-thing, it feels real good to breathe.”

After receiving oxygen, Harris’s condi-tion improved. The ICU staff suspectedhis discomfort might be from a sleepingproblem, so he was sent away with a re-ferral to a sleep clinic where he was even-

tually diagnosed with sleep apnea.A few hospital visits later, Harris was

given a sleeping apparatus and the cardi-ologist said he was not in any immediatethreat of heart attack or other cardiovas-cular injuries.

With this new energy from his sleepingapparatus, Harris’s quality of life improved,and he just couldn’t contain his gratitude.

Harris came back to the hospital onemore time on March 22 and told the staff,through choked-back tears of gratitude,how much their dedication, professional-ism and compassion helped him througha troubling time.

“I’m alive. I can breathe. You made thathappen for me,” said Harris, address-ing the medical staff. “If no one ever saysthank you, know that my family thanksyou; know that I thank you.”

After heart-felt hugs and shared grati-tude, dry eyes were hard to come by. Har-ris said his energy levels have increasedand his quality of life has improved sig-nificantly. However, for those Airmen inthe crowd, not only did they give a mana second chance at life, they also achievedthe pinnacle of any medical professional;providing quality care through commit-ment, passion and love for all.
